GATE POST WARNING
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Because the coasting distance may vary due to changes in temperature, Elite does NOT recommend
the installation of a stop or catch post in front of the gate's path as shown in Fig. A. To do so will
cause the gate to hit the post in certain instances. Elite only recommends installation of catch rollers
on the side of a catch post with a minimal distance of three inches between the rollers as shown in
Fig. B1 & B2. Also when fully open the end of the sliding gate must stop at least five inches from any
wall or other object as shown in Fig. C.

DO NOT TOUCH!
The level of sensitivity has to do with the weight of the gate and the condition of installation.
Too sensitive = if the gate stops or reverses by itself.
Not sensitive enough = if the gate hits an object and does not stop or reverse.
CAUTION: If the power supply to the gate operator is less than 99 volts you should adjust the alarm pot!
