ELECTRIC GATE LOCK
Part Number 070510
Installation Manual
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock works with an automatic gate operator to
securely lock the gate into position without having to get out of your
vehicle. The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock is wired into the gate operator
control box, so that when an input device such as a transmitter or keypad is
used to open the gate, the USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock disengages and the
gate will open. When the gate closes, the gate lock automatically engages to
secure the gate in the closed position.
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock provides an extra level of protection.
In addition to protection, it provides stability for the gate by securely
locking the gate into position, so that damaging effects, such as wind, are
minimized. The result is the gate and automatic gate operator will stay in
excellent working condition for a much longer time.
The USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock Assembly works with most types of gates and
mounting applications.
NOTE: In order for the USAutomatic Electric Gate Lock to work properly, the
gate must close firmly against the stop gate post or closed position stop
plate. To achieve the desired closed position, you may need to slightly adjust
the gate operator closed limit set points. Instructions for adjusting the
closed limit set points are included in your automatic gate operator manual.
IMPORTANT: THIS LOCK IS DESIGNED FOR 12VDC CONTROL SYSTEMS. PLEASE NOTE
OPERATING VOLTAGE IS 10VDC TO 14VDC

GENERAL TOOL REQUIREMENTS
Tools required for most installations:
· Wrench 9/16 inch
· Socket 3/8 inch
· Drill
· Drill bits 1/8 and 3/8 inch
· Pliers
· Level
· Hack saw
· Tape measure
Welding is the recommended method of securing the lock mounting plate and the strike bracket to the gate and hinge post. The Lock Housing should NEVER be welded. Internal parts can be damaged by excessive heat. Bolt on brackets are provided and are acceptable but may require frequent service to keep tight. They must be very securely attached (i.e. carriage bolts with lock nuts and washers).
IMPORTANT CAUTIONS:
During testing and operation, keep hands and fingers clear of moving parts of
lock, gate and gate opener to avoid injury. Always wear protective eye wear
during installation.

INSTALLATION
Read and follow ALL instructions.
1 With a level, draw a horizontal line across center of
fence rail and continue across to receptor post. Then draw a vertical line
down the center of the receptor gate post creating a center reference point
(+).
2 On receptor post, measure and mark vertical center line
3/8″ above reference point (+) and 3/8″ below reference point (+). Then on
fence rail, horizontally measure and mark 6-3/4″ and 9-1/4″ from reference
point (+) along horizontal line on fence rail.
3 Check measurements. If welding, use these reference
points to locate the lock mounting bracket and strike bracket. If bolting,
center punch these marks and drill pilot holes using 1/8″ bit. (Fig A) Using a
long 3/8″ drill bit, and using the pilot holes as your guide, drill holes
completely through post and fence rail (taking care to be as level and true as
possible).
4 Mount the strike bracket without the strike pin to the
receptor post using the two 6″ carriage bolts and lock nuts supplied (to allow
for adjustment, do not tighten completely). (Fig B)
5 Now install the lock mounting bracket on the center
of the gate rail using the 4″ carriage bolts and lock nuts supplied (again, do
not tighten completely). (Fig B)
6 Before mounting the electric lock to the bracket, remove
the bottom plug and the end cap (using the allen wrench supplied). Attach the
Green (+) and Blue (-) wires to the wires leading to your gate opener control
box. (Fig C)
Do not attach wires to operator yet!
7 Disconnect power to opener. On USAutomatic operators,
remove motor plug(s) (X1 or X2) from control board.
8 Mount the Lock. Line up the holes on the mounting
bracket with the four mounting holes on the lock body. Install the four 2″
carriage bolts and tighten completely. You are now ready to test for binding.

9 Disconnect operator arm from gate.

10 Open and close gate by hand. If binding occurs, adjust the
strike bracket and/or lock mounting bracket until the lock sits in the strike
bracket without any binding. Check for alignment of strike pin with slot in
the lock housing. (Fig. E) Fully tighten lock nuts on both brackets.
11 You are now ready to power the lock. Attach the two
wires from the electric lock to those leading to the correct terminals on your
operator board. (For USAutomatic openers, see Wiring Chart)
When using the electric lock with other brands of gate openers, it is important to note that the lock is designed for intermittent activation only. The electric lock only needs power upon opening. Power applied for extended periods of time will damage the electric lock.

IMPORTANT! Keep hands clear of any Moving parts during powered operation or
testing!
12 Re-connect operator arm.
13 Reconnect power to operator (motor plugs)
14 Initiate operator to open and visually observe lock to see if Lock Pin
retracts
during opening and extends during closing. It is important that power is only
applied during the opening cycle. All power to the electric lock should be off
during the closing cycle or in the rest position. If the lock retracts and
extends properly, install strike pin with clevis clip or padlock.
15 Gate operator limit switches should be reset at this time if necessary to
ensure
proper lock closure. After all adjustments and tests have been completed,
tighten nuts and cut off any excess bolt length.
The electric lock is now ready for full operation.
