AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER • G452 Installation Manual

In Push-To-Open Installations:
If your gate, while in a stationary position, has been
subjected to heavy winds or an excessive force has
moved the gate, it may be necessary for the gate open-
er to self-correct and return to a “zero” position. In this
state, if an input is received, the gate will emit an audi-
ble alarm and return to a fully closed position. Once the
gate opener has self-corrected, the gate will complete
the function of the last input received. It is important
that you allow the gate to self-correct and do not press
any input devices until the process is complete.
NOTE: Heavy winds or large animals can exert a force
strong enough to move the gate slightly, creating the
described condition. As a preventative measure, it is rec-
ommended that a Zareba Automatic Gate Lock (GBL1) is
installed. The Automatic Gate Lock will secure the gate in
the closed position and prohibit any force from moving
the gate. If you do not use an Automatic Gate Lock,
ensure that the included stop plate is installed correctly.
Manual Operation of Gate
CAUTION: The gate will move freely and uncontrolled
when the gate opener (actuator) is removed from the
gate. ONLY disconnect the gate opener (actuator) when
the control box power switch is OFF and the gate is
NOT moving.
Disconnecting the Opener (fig. 47)
1. Turn control box power switch OFF.
2. Remove clevis pin clip and clevis pin from either the
front or rear mounting point.
3. Remove the gate opener (actuator) from the mount.
The gate can be opened and closed manually
when the gate opener (actuator) is
disconnected.

Theft Deterrence
Your Zareba Automatic Gate Opener comes with a built-
in theft deterrence feature. If the gate opener (actuator)
is disconnected from the control box, your unit will
automatically sound an alarm, notifying you of unau-
thorized removal of the actuator. A warning label on the
gate opener (actuator) states an alarm will sound if the
actuator is removed. The alarm is shut off by discon-
necting battery power to the control box or turning the
switch on the bottom of the control box to the OFF
position.
For additional protection, a pin lock accessory can be
purchased to lock your gate opener (actuator) to a
bracket preventing removal of the gate opener (actua-
tor)(see fig. 48).
NOTE: Substitute a Pin Lock for the clevis pin on the
front mount of the gate opener (actuator) (fig. 48) to
prevent unauthorized removal of the gate opener
(actuator) from the gate (see Gate Opener Accessories
on page 34).
