The Allstar Gate Star 4000 (GS4000) Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the installation and testing of the complete gate system. -
Page 4: Section A: Gate System Design/Installation
GATE SYSTEM DESIGN/ INSTALLATION WARNING! GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK LIST: • The GS4000 operator may be installed on a Class I, II, III, or IV Vehicular Swing Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight &... - Page 5 increases as the gate swings open. PROTECT THIS "PINCH POINT" SO THIS HAZARD IS AVERTED. See Figure 3. • CONSIDER ALL OTHER "PINCH POINTS" IN YOUR DESIGN of the gate system. Observe the arm as it opens and the two arm pieces swing past each other. Use protective measures to reduce hazards at this location.

Page 6: Section B: Preparing The Site
PREPARING THE SITE THE CONCRETE PAD The standard GS4000 is designed to operate a single leaf gate. The control box and mechanical units are separate devices. It is necessary to find a suitable location to mount the control box, i.e., post or wall. Separate low voltage and high voltage conduits will be run between the control box and mechanical unit. - Page 7 Figure 7: Loop Diagrams Above ground splices may be used providing the wire is twisted, soldered and moisture sealed. For best long term results, do not use wire nuts anywhere in the loop system. Connect to the Vehicle Detector harness by soldering. For saw-cut installations, observe the methods recommended in Figure 7, above.

Page 8: Electrical Power Requirements
PREPARING THE SITE ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS The GS4000 can be ordered for 115 Volts AC (VAC) or 230 VAC operation. The AWG wire size for the electrical service depends on the distance of the operator from the breaker panel. Refer to Table 1 to determine the correct wire size. -
Page 9: Section C: Installing The Operator
The following tools and materials are required for a proper installation of the GS4000. 1. Wire cutter, stripper and crimping tools. (For attaching accessory equipment to the control box barrier strip.) 2. A #2 Phillips Head screw driver for removing the screws to the High Voltage cover. 3. -
