Installation
Please note that there are two basic types of power unit mounting, concrete pad or post mounting.
Choose the proper mounting for your application. The installation illustrations shown are for right hand
units; for left hand units, everything will be just the opposite.
If there is existing concrete at the area of power unit mounting, use the dimensioning procedure called
out in pad mounting instructions. It is suggested that ½” threaded anchors (not supplied) be used to
secure the unit. If needed, shim the unit to ensure that it is level and parallel with the gate.
Step 1: Set Up Post or Pad Mounting
CONCRETE PAD: SL580 ONLY
1 Layout concrete pad as detailed.
2 Locate electrical conduit, as required, prior to pouring concrete.
3 Pour concrete, insuring that pad is level and above the ground line.
4 Locate four (4) 1/2” threaded anchors, not supplied, as detailed. Important: Anchors
must be positioned accurately and securely in concrete.
5 Allow concrete to set for at least two days before installing power unit.
