PRE INSTALLATION NOTES

The Allstar Standby Power Supply is designed to provide back­up power to a gate operator when the main AC supply voltage is
interrupted or disconnected. It eliminates the need for a separate
motor and control circuit to be mechanically attached to the gate
operator. The SPS-50 will provide the power and a signal to the
gate operator to open the gate and leave it open until the main
power is restored. Once the main power is restored, the SPS-50
will provide a signal to the gate operator and the operator will
close (if a timer to close is used). It is not designed to
continuously cycle the gate operator. Many local building codes
require this type open only back-up vs. a continuos cycle back­up.

NOTICE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION,
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL BE
THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FEATURES OF
THE ALLSTAR STANDBY POWER SUPPLY AND ITS
PROPER INSTALLATION.

The SPS-50 consists of control box and a battery pack. The
SPS-50 control box senses the main power, charges the battery
pack, converts the DC battery voltage to AC voltage (to power
the operator) and provides control signals to activate the
operator when the main power is interrupted. Additionally, the
SPS-50 control box has a set of relay outputs that are activated if
a low battery capacity is detected. These contact may be
connected to an alarm system to alert the end user that battery
maintenance is required.

Gate operators are designed to start and move gates weighing as
much as 1000 pounds or more and are capable of producing high
levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate
system that designers, installers and users be aware of the
hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design,
installation and use of vehicular gate systems and gate operators.

As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You
also have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL
possible operational hazards have been considered and
eliminated. YOU MUST ADVISE and WARN the purchaser
and the ultimate user of ANY HAZARDS that you have not
been able to eliminate.

NOTICE

THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT COVER
ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS WHICH
