INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS


All solenoid interlocks must be fail-secure. This means that in the event of a
power failure, the gate must remain locked until the power is restored and lift
platform is at the same level as the gate.

1. After checking the gate for proper operation, attach the solenoid mounting bracket to

the mounting pad on the gate header angle with four ¼” –20 UNC screws that have
been supplied (see Figure 8 and 9).


2. Make sure that the solenoid is secure in the set collar, being seated fully against the

shoulder of the bracket.

CAUTION

!

Do not over tighten. Over tightening the set screw will inhibit bolt
operation.


3. Install the solenoid cover over the solenoid.

4. Using the two 6-32 screws that have been supplied, mount the gate status switch to

the status switch mounting plate on the header angle (see Figures 8 and 9).


5. Adjust the gate status limit switch so that the lift will not operate if the gate is opened

more than one inch. At final check out, make sure the lift will not run if the interlock
is not engaged.


NOTE: The solenoid interlock “bolt” has a ½” throw. Adjustment is critical.
