All openings of a horizontal slide gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of
the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.22 m) above the ground to prevent a 2-1/2 inch
(57.2 mm) diameter sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate,
and in that portion of the adjacent fence that the gate covers in the open position.

1. Follow the local building code to determine the required depth of the concrete pad.
2. Pad measurements recommended by Viking Access Systems are at lease 24” long,
18” wide and 24” deep to ensure the stable operation of the operator, and a
minimum of 4” above level grade to avoid any flooding of the machinery.
3. The path of the track must be 10” wide and at least 6” deep to support the
weight of the gate. Please consult the local building code for verification and
further details.
4. Provide a sufficient number of conduit pathways for all low power accessories
such as loop detector leads, maglock, non-contact sensors, contact sensors, safety
and other commands.Also provide conduit for the power supply (either 110 or
220 VAC). Extend the conduit the recommended height of 1” above the level of

Tips for proper ground installation
A good ground in a gate operator
installation will minimize or prevent damage
to the operator cause by natural events such
as lightning strikes.
The following will provide a guideline for
proper grounding:
1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground
reference.
2. Consult your city code and be aware of
under-ground services in the site of the
gate operator to prevent inconveniences.
3. Use always a single bonding point for
grounding.
4. All ground wires must be as short and as
thick as possible.
5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all
ground wires.

INSTALLATION
WARNING – Consult the installation instructions from the loop detector manufacturer. The following
statements are provided as a guide but different requirements may be required by the
vehicular loop detector manufacturer.
Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector Installation
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use
Table C (below) as a guide.
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and
other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a
way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.
IMPORTANT – Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the
vehicular loop detector (consult the installation manual and the manufacturer of the
vehicular loop detector).
• Gate size,
• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;
• Distance from the loop sensor wire to the gate either at the open or close position.
