POWER SUPPLY:
The 24V DC Beninca requires 115 VAC power. The gauge wire
to be used is dependent on the distance run. Your electrician
should be consulted to ensure a good power supply.
PROTECTION: (see picture at right)
Fuses for primary and secondary power:
1) 1.6 Amp, 250V (line)
2) 6.3 Amp, 250V (control)
3) 12 Amp, 250V (motor)
Varistor protects primary and secondary power from over voltage.
Operator torque control, this adjusts the maximum output force of
the operator (page 9, potentiometer #1).

CHARACTERISTICS:
Solid state control panel allows the control of (2) 24 VDC, 120W actuators as follows:
w Single button and Radio control command to: OPEN - STOP - CLOSE - STOP
w Separate inputs for Open (with timer to close) and Stop
w Timer to close built in
w Safety input to stop the gate and to reverse the gate during closing cycle
w Adjustable decel speed, motor speed, motor power, and slave delay time

ELECTRICAL, CONTROL CONNECTIONS
The Eurostyle type connectors used in the BW24ST controls will accept (2) stripped 16 gauge wires. Dry
contact control wires (no power) can fit more than (2) wires, if smaller than 20 gauge wire is used. Length is
limited to 40 feet.

PREPARATIONS
2.1 SITE PREP
Using a licensed electrician, route power and control wires to the operator using appropriate conduit and wire
for your local code. Ensure gate swings freely and is level. Controls should be mounted away from gate, so
people on the opposite side of the cannot reach through the gate and start the gate moving (figure 1).
F NOTE: PLAN GATE LOCATION FOR ACCESSORIES SUCH AS LOOPS, PHOTO EYES, SAFETY
EDGES, ETC. BEFORE BEGINNING INSTALLATION.

INSTALLATION
3.1
MECHANICAL
Attach plate "F" to the post so it is halfway
between the ground and the top of the gate. Slide
plate “F" into bracket "H" and secure with bolt
"E" and nut "G". When the gate is closed, attach
plate "B" to the gate at the same height as plate
"F". Gate bracket “B” (figure 3) should be mounted approximately 23-1/4” from the gate hinge point.
The installed bracket must provide a level operation
for the operator. Test the location before welding.
F NOTE: PLEASE REMEMBER THAT WHEN
THE GATE IS FULL OPEN OR FULL CLOSE
THE UNIT SHOULD NOT BE AT THE END OF
ITS STROKE.

3.2
ELECTRICAL
1) The electrical installation must meet national and
local codes and should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
7) If motor direction is not correct reverse the
open/close motor wires. Or as an alternate method
you may also reverse the FCA--FCC limit switch
wires.
2) Read all manuals and safety instructions before
beginning installation.
8) The term “normally open” means that the contact points are open or apart until they are brought
together by electrical (radio receiver) or manual
means (pushbutton).
3) It is strongly recommended that safety equipment be used with this operator.
4) Power cables should be run in separate conduit
from the control wiring.
9) The term “normally closed” means that the contact points are together or closed until opened by
electrical or manual means.
5) Check all connections before applying power to
units.
6) When voltage is supplied, the "Power" LED
should be on.

INSTALLATION
3.2
ELECTRICAL (continued)
Line Power Connections
Radio Controls and Single Push Button
Stations
Connect incoming line wires to the 3 pole terminal
on control board. To attach power wires to the unit,
remove the cover screw holding black plastic power
cover (figure 4). This can be found in the lower
right hand corner of the control box. Then attach
the "hot" (black), "neutral" (white) and “ground"
(green) wires as indicated on the control board.
Each control box comes pre-wired with a Liftmaster
412HM receiver. This receiver (or others) are wired
to terminals #1 and #2. Radio power is connected
to terminals #17(+) and #18(-) for 24V DC.
Safety Edges - Electric gate edges are normally
open devices. To wire an electric gate edge to a
BW24ST control panel, an auxiliary relay must be
used. The procedure is as follows:
w Attach one of the two electric gate edge
wires to terminal #17
w Attach the other wire to one of the coil
terminals of a 24V DC relay (P/N 24-264-4)
w Attach the remaining coil terminal to
terminal #8
w Attach the common and the normally
closed contacts of the 24V DC relay to
terminal #1 and #6
When the gate edge is contacted the 24V DC relay
will be energized causing an open circuit between
terminals #1 and #6, the gate operator will then
reverse to the full open position.
Figure 4
Safety Devices - photo eyes and loop detectors
The BW24ST control box allows for (2) different
safety inputs. The first uses terminals #1 and #6,
when activated it reverses a closing gate. The second type uses terminals #1 and #5, when activated
it stops the gate (will not open or close). If gate was
opening when obstruction occurred, once clear the
gate will continue to open. If gate was closing when
obstruction occurred, once clear the gate will then
begin reopening. Both require connection to
devices with normally closed contacts, which are
opened when activated.
Keypads/Card Readers (figure 5)
Use terminal #1 and #3 for an open command only.
The gate will time out and close if the timer is activated.
W ARNING
Use of safety devices is recommended
to prevent injury and entrapment.
Stop Command
Mount a stop button near the gate. This allows the
gate to be stopped in the case of an emergency. A
normally closed stop button suitable for exterior use
should be used. The connections for the stop button
are #1 and #7.
Figure 5
Audio and Visible Alarms
Warning devices may be used with the BW24ST
actuator. 24V DC, 50W is supplied upon opening
and 3 seconds before closing. 24V DC, 50W warning devices are connected to terminals #12 and #14.
When a safety command is received across terminals #1 and #5, actuator will stop but flasher will
continue until open or close limit switch is met.
Locking Devices (electrical dead bolt)
Locking devices may be used with the BW24ST
control panel. A 24V DC, 50W output is maintained for 3 seconds when an open command is
given. The terminal connections are #15 and #16.

For each actuator, run (2) wires, 5 to 25 feet long of
14 gauge wire for power. Use (3) wires 16 to 20
gauge for the controls. If using (2) actuators, use
motor cables of the same length and gauge to ensure
the motors run at the same speed.

4.3 END USER INSTRUCTIONS
Safety
DO NOT
q operate a gate that is not in view of the
person operating the gate
q allow children to play on gate
q attempt to fix a gate operator yourself,
call a qualified serviceman
F NOTE: CONSULT YOUR SUPPLIER FOR
TECHNICAL SUPPORT IN YOUR AREA.
Manual Operation
The BW24ST has a simple manual release that allows the operator
to be functional when there is no
electricity. Here's how (figure 9
& figure 10):
Figure 9
1) Move lock-cover until arrow is visible
2) Insert key and rotate 90 degrees
3) Press the back side of the door and rotate to a
click by pulling from the front side
Access Control
Make sure the user understands how to use the controls, and demonstrate them completely. Show
where the power on and off is in case of an emergency. Always show how to stop and prevent
entrapment. Show how to operate the manual disconnect.
Troubleshooting
If a problem occurs with the gate system, advise the
owner of the following:
w Do nothing, call the installer who performed original installation.
w Question owner for problems per section (6.2) of
this manual for cause.
w Technical assistance and parts are available to
qualified and approved dealers.

SERVICE AND TECHNICAL REFERENCE
6.1 S E RVICE AND MAINTENANCE
See 5.1 for part details - Clean and lubricate jackshaft (13), support (11) and end cap (2)
twice a year, more frequently if in dusty or high cycle environments. Use wheel bearing
grease or similar. Also lubricate pivot points with medium weight spray lubricant.
6.2 TROUBLE SHOOTING
Operator will not run
Check power source, is the breaker tripped? Make certain that 115v
is getting to the control box. Is the green “power” LED luminated?
Disconnect power and check fuses on board.
Operator has power but
will not run
Is your control device working properly. Check batteries in transmitter.
Observe the vertical row of green and red LED’s, the “FT.OP, FT.CL and
STOP” lights should not be luminated. If any of these are on, check for
obstructions to the safety devices. If any of these devices have been
bypassed, check for wire breakage.
Operator will open but
will not close
Check power. Check for obstruction of safety devices. Remember, there
is a three second delay before the gate operator will close.
Operator sounds as if
it is running but gate
does not move
Make sure that the disconnect lever has been engaged.
Operator still won’t run
