LI-2B Installation Manual Dear Installer/Owner Congratulations on your purchase of the Australian Made Arco Pty. Ltd. Automatic Gate Operator. The LI-2B gate operator is a breeze to install. It has been researched, designed and manufactured by Arco Pty. Ltd. to be a reliable operator with almost non-existent maintenance required. To save you time and make installation easier, the LI-2B has a pre-wired control circuit board and placed it under the cover with motor/gears etc.
LI-2B Installation Manual Introduction The Arco Pty. Ltd. LI-2B automatic gate operator is an electronically controlled automatic gate operator for swing gates. The LI-2B has a range of features that are built in and some options are also available. The LI-2B intelligent Gate operator can be used in a variety of situations.
LI-2B Installation Manual The LI-2B gate operators are suitable for gates that are correctly hinged and operate smoothly and evenly both before and after the LI-2B gate operator is fitted. The LI-2B gate operators are suitable for and guaranteed when the following conditions are met. The LI-2B gate drive system will drive a variety of gate styles, sizes and weights.
LI-2B Installation Manual Installation Standard Installation A “Standard Installation” is one where the gate(s) open by swinging INWARDS towards the motor housing. The gate hinge should be no more than 200mm from the rear of the pier/post. Side room of 350mm is required to accommodate the swing of the arms. Refer to Pages 10 & 11 if there is restricted side room (See figure 1) Installation Procedure 1.

LI-2B Installation Manual 4. If you have a pair of gates then connect the slave to the Master Unit with 2 core Flex/Cable (Max load 8 Amp at 12 Volts) (See Figure 3). The LI-2B operators are set in the factory for a “Standard Installation” with the Master placed on the LEFT HAND SIDE (From the inside looking out). If the Master has to be located on the right then the motor wires need to be reversed. To accomplish this, locate the connection blocks for each motor on the Circuit Board.
LI-2B Installation Manual 6. Connect Power (12 volt or 24 volt or solar) to the Primary operator and connect the battery 7. The Limit Switches may now be adjusted (See figure 5). Each of the Master and Slave operators has its own pair of cams, one to set the open position and one to set the closed position. Firstly mark the position of each cam as a reference. Loosen the screw holding the cams.
LI-2B Installation Manual Side Mount Installation The LI-2B operator may be mounted sideways with the long side against the pier/post for extra flexibility. This feature is very useful for situations where (Refer to figure 6) • The gate must swing further than 90 degrees • The gate swings outwards • The gate swings outward and it is positioned at least 400mm forward of the back of the pier/post Note: See section on out swing installation.
LI-2B Installation Manual Restricted Side Room Installation This term is applied to the situation where the movement of the standard arms cannot be accommodated within the side room available. In most situations this problem can be overcome by cutting down the secondary arm. (The link joining the gate to the primary arm). This new length can be approximated by the following procedure. 1. Move the primary arm to a position suitable for the closed gate.
LI-2B Installation Manual Out-Swing Installation In this type of installation the gate swings outward away from the LI-2B operator to the open position. Several factors must be considered to determine the most suitable arm length. include • The drive through width required • The placement of the gate operator • The location of the gate on the pier/post These For assistance (if required) please provide a drawing (mud map) of your situation showing all possible measurements.
LI-2B Installation Manual Settings Auto Close The operator control board is supplied with a “JUMPER” installed on a three-pin block. This allows the gate to automatically close after a specific period. This period is adjustable. (Refer to figure 9). • Turn ‘Auto Close delay’ dial (Trimpot) Anti-clockwise to increase the hold open time delay before gate closes automatically. • Turn/dial trimpot clockwise to shorten the hold open time delay before gate closes automatically.
LI-2B Installation Manual Multi-User Function This function is for when the LI-2B gate operator is installed for multi-users (e.g. flats, Apartments etc.) There is a Jumper installed on a three-pin block approximately in the middle of the main control board. If the Jumper is on pins one and two the operator WILL NOT allow the gate to close on a signal, it will continue to open position, time out then auto close. If the Jumper is on pins two and three (Normal) a signal e.g.
LI-2B Installation Manual Push-Button, Key –Pad etc. A variety of hard-wired input devices can be used to operate the LI-2B operator. should be in the form of a MOMENTARY CLOSED CIRCUIT. Input WARNING! Voltage must not be applied to these terminals. DAMAGE to the circuitry will result if voltage is applied. Devices that send a Voltage Pulse (As some intercoms do) must be connected to the circuit board through a relay.
LI-2B Installation Manual Photoelectric Safety Cell (240 volt & 12 volt operators only A photoelectric safety cell (PE) may be fitted to detect obstructions in the path of the gate(s). The PE will check for obstructions during the closing cycle only. If an obstruction is encountered the gate(s) will reverse to the open position. If the gate is set in the automatic close mode the gate(s) will remain open until the obstruction is cleared.
LI-2B Installation Manual Solar Wiring Detail Step 1 Locate two way terminal connection block on top plate near motor. (Positive) and black (Negative) wires. Connect solar panel direct to it.
LI-2B Installation Manual Trouble Shooting Poor range with the radio transmitter (Tx). Our standard transmitters are factory tested to 200 metres. 433Mhz Antenna is generally included to maximize signal to the radio receiver (Rx). Poor range may occur for several reasons. The first two things to check are: A. The Battery in the Tx B.
