IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
IMPORTANT
Please read all instructions and safety information prior to
attempting installation.
Always disconnect 110V and 12V power from gate operator
equipment prior to touching any wiring or installing anything.
Serious injury could occur if power is not disconnected prior to
installation.
BE HIGHLY CAUTIOUS OF OVERHEAD POWER LINES
!
Ask for assistance from another person to install gate arms.
Removal and replacement of the gate arm pole is much
simpler with two people.
Always use appropriate PPE during installation including safety
glasses, gloves and hearing protection as needed.
Install as directed. GateArms+ LED Barrier Arms and LED
Controllers are intended for use as described herein and by
the product literature available for download at
www.GateArms.com
Any misuse, alteration, or modification of GateArms+ branded
products beyond what is described in the available product
literature will void all warranties.

INSTALL OFFSET PLATE TO OPERATOR HOUSING
2.1 Measure 3” down from center
of motor shaft. Mark
measurement for Hole 1
(mandatory).
For right-side installation:
Align top right hole of
Offset Plate with Hole 1
For left-side installation:
Align top left hole of
Offset Plate with Hole 1.
2.2 Measure 3” down from the
center of Hole 1 and mark the
measurement for Hole 2.
2.3 Measure 2” left of the center
of Hole 2 and mark the
location for Hole 3 (optional,
may not be necessary unless
using a very long gate arm.)

2.4 Drill
½”
holes into the operator on marked locations, being
careful not to damage anything on the inside of the operator.
2.5 Starting at Hole 1, attach the Offset Plate to the operator as
shown below with hardware included in kit. Tighten securely.
Repeat for Hole 2 and Hole 3.
2.6 Determine the operator arm’s clearance. Measure the height
from the top of the operator’s output shaft to the lowest
spot of the ceiling above the barrier arm. This is your
“Clearance Height”.

ASSEMBLE BARRIER ARM
3.1 Cut the operator arm to desired length as follows:
1
st
Section Length = Ceiling Height – 7” (elbow) + 7” (bracket)
Ensure 1st section contains the mounting bolt holes.
Select the LED based on desired length of 1
st
arm section
2
nd
Section Length = 6’ (unless necessary to cut it)
3.2 Attach 1st arm section to the operator’s arm bracket as shown
below. Tighten securely and repeat with second bracket bolt.
NOTE: Do not use nylon nuts on folding arms due to vibration
concerns.
3.3 Close the gate so the arm is horizontal.
3.4 Insert the Pivot Bracket into the 1
st
section of the arm with the
Pivot Bracket’s metal arm facing up and towards the operator.
Step 3.2
Step 3.4

3.5 Drill
⅛”
hole on underside of arm and attach to the Pivot
Bracket with #6 screw.
3.6 Measure the distance from the center of the operator’s
output shaft to the center of the Pivot Bracket’s hinge joint
as shown below. This measure is the “Arm Height”.
3.7 If necessary, cut the Threaded Rod to the “Arm Height”
length minus 2”. NOTE: Prior to making any cuts, pre-install a
⅜”
nut on the rod to be used as a tool to clean the burrs
and smooth out the cut.
3.8 Install the
⅜”
rod nuts on both ends of the Threaded Rod
(if not already done).
3.9 Screw a Threaded Rod End onto each side of the Threaded
Rod until the Threaded Rod is about half-way through the
Threaded Rod End.
Step 3

Measure the distance between these points

3.10 Assemble the Threaded Rod to the Elbow as shown in the
illustration below. Tighten both nuts securely.
3.11 If necessary, adjust the operator’s bracket position until the
1
st
segment of the arm is level. Using a level tool, ensure the
folding part of the elbow is level when in the fully-locked
horizontal position. Have a helper hold the elbow in the
horizontal position desired.
3.12
On
the back side of the Threaded Rod, take a pencil or
sharpie and put it through the eye of the threaded rod end
facing the offset plate. It may help to wrap the pencil with
some electrical tape
to ensure that it sits
centered within the
Threaded Rod End
eye. With the elbow
in the fully-locked
horizontal position
and while keeping the
arm level, carefully
mark a line going up
and down onto the offset plate. Keep the pencil
perpendicular to the arm and as centered as possible
within the Threaded Rod End eye.
Step 3.10
Step 3.12
8
3.13 Set the barrier arm in the
fully-open vertical position.
Have your helper use a level
tool to ensure the folding
part of the elbow is level
(horizontally) and stays level
during the next step.
3.14 Insert a pencil or sharpie through the eye of the threaded
rod end facing the offset plate.
While your partner keeps the
folding part of the elbow level
horizontally, carefully mark a line
going left and right onto the offset
plate. Keep the pencil
perpendicular to the arm and as
centered as possible within the
Threaded Rod End eye.
3.15 Drill a
⅜”
inch hole through the center of the marked cross
on the offset plate. Do not remove the offset plate or make
any more adjustments to the threaded rod as doing so may
cause the folding arm to not be level during operation.
NOTE: This hole should be made with high precision. We
recommend using a center punch tool about 2 times in the
center of the marked cross. Then create a
⅛”
pilot hole, a
second
¼”
hole, and a final
⅜”
hole.

3.16 Assemble the remaining Threaded Rod End to the Offset Plate
as shown in the illustration below. Attach the threaded rod nut
to the top of the threaded rod end and tighten all securely.
3.17 Insert 2
nd
section of the barrier arm into Pivot Bracket.
3.18 Drill
⅛”
hole on underside of arm and attach to the Pivot
Bracket with a #6 screw.
3.19 Ensure Arm is horizontal (90° to vertical) when Up and
Down. If not, remove a bolt and tighten or loosen a Rod End
to adjust the articulation process.
