PRELIMINARY INFORMATION

Before installation, be sure that

• Gate posts, hinges, and gate construction, is sufficient to support the gates and

the gate operators,

• Gates swing freely and there is no friction or obstruction between moving parts,

• Measurement C (below) is not greater than the value shown. Modification to the

pillar is required to comply with corresponding measurements.

• Increasing the B measurement decreases the opening angle resulting in slower peripheral

speed and greater motor thrust on the gate leaf.

• Increasing measurement A increases the opening angle resulting in greater peripheral

speed and reduced motor thrust on the gate leaf.

ADJUSTING OPEN & CLOSED LIMIT

OPEN LIMIT

Using the Manual Release Key, release the

gearmotor and swing the gate-leaf to the fully

open position.

Loosen the Open Limit Micro-switch Assembly.

Slide the Micro-switch Assembly along the Mi-

cro-switch Bar until it is inserted by contact on

the Micro-switch Activating Sled.

Tighten the Micro-switch Assembly using the

respective screws.

CLOSE LIMIT

Using the Manual Release Key, release the gearmotor and
swing the gate-leaf to the fully closed position.

Loosen the Closed Limit Micro-switch
Assembly.

Slide the Micro-switch Assembly
along the Micro-switch Bar until it
is in serted by contact on the

WIRING THE OPERATOR ARM

Dual Gate Operation

INSTALLATION

Motor 2 Motor 1

The Eagle-E7 electro-mechanical swing arm includes color coded wire for
convenient connection to the Diamond-DC Controller.
On dual gate application, the electro-mechanical farthest from the control
is generally considered Motor 2 and has 14’ of control wire. The arm clos­est to the controller is designated Motor 1 and has 8’ of control wire.

INSTALLATION

AUTO POWER SAVE MODE—AUXILIARY POWER

Two 24 VDC auxiliary outputs are available for powering accessories.

Auxiliary Output 1—Use Auxiliary Output 1
for Auto Power Save mode. Auto Power Save
mode maximizes battery back-up operation and
conserves power in a solar Only
application.

When AC power is not present
(during power failure or solar only
application), The Diamond-DC
control board remains active for 30 seconds. Af­ter 30 seconds the Diamond-DC control board
automatically goes to “sleep” to conserve power.

Conserving power in Auto Power Save Mode
maximizes battery back-up operation and im­proves re-charging rate on solar only application.

Auxiliary Power

Output 1

Note on Auto Power Save Mode:
Output power remains always on to
the pre wired terminal strip for the
Receiver and to the Plug-in Loop
Detector for Exit Open.

accessories like the photo-eye detector to Auxiliary Power
Output 1. In this way, the amp draw will be minimized during
periods (overnight) when the gate operator is not in use.

Auxiliary Output 2—Use Auxiliary Output 2
for accessories that must remain always on.

Auxiliary Output 2 is “Always On,”
even during Auto Power Save
mode.

The current draw from Auxiliary

Auxiliary Power

Output 2

Output 2 will remain constant and
will continuously draw stored power from batter­ies during AC power Failure and a solar only ap­plication.

Note: Some devices, like keypads, card readers and
telephone entry require their own, isolated power trans­former. Eagle recommends putting such devices on
separate e power transformer as direct by the manufac­turer.

INSTALLATION

POWER FAIL OPERATION

In the event of a power failure, your Eagle-DC Gate Operator will operate on battery
back-up until AC power is restored or the batteries are completely discharged. Al­ternatively your Eagle-DC gate operator can be set up to “hold open” (fail-safe) or
“hold closed” (fail-secure) until AC power is restored.

Following is the procedure for proper set-up of:

• BATTERY BACK-UP OPERATION

• AC Power Failure

- HOLD-OPEN or HOLD_CLOSED During AC power failure

• COMPLETE BATTERY DISCHARGE

BATTERY BACK-UP OPERATION

When installed correctly, your Eagle-DC
Gate Operator can provide up to 100 cy­cles of operation during an AC power
Failure (Actual cycle count will vary
based on your gate and site conditions .
Consult your installing professional for
estimated number of cycles for your
gate system.

POWER FAIL OPERATION (CONTINUED)

COMPLETE BATTERY DISCHARGE

To protect battery life, the Eagle-DC Gate Operator automatically shuts down when
battery voltage drains to the minimum allowable for safe operation.

If shut down occurs due to lost battery voltage, select the Power Fail Operation to
HOLD OPEN or HOLD CLOSED until AC power or battery voltage is restored.

HOLD OPEN During Complete Battery Discharge
