INTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION:

This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing device. The system will sense an obstruction in both the open and close cycles, and will reverse the direction of the gate travel upon encountering an obstruction. If the system detects a second obstruction before reaching the full open or close limit after the initial reversal, a warning alarm will activate and the operator will require a reset before resuming normal operation. This is called a “Hard Shutdown”. Please read and follow the “Shutdown Conditions” section of this manual for more directions.

EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PREVENTION:

Non-contact and/or contact sensors must be installed to provide external entrapment prevention in accordance with UL325 section 3.1. Use only UL325 compliant devices and low voltage (24V) devices. Carefully follow the installation manual for the UL325 device used for installation, usage, and maintenance.

Non-Contact Sensors (Photo Beams):

Non-contact sensors generally are photoelectric cells or like devices. For gate operators utilizing non-contact sensors:

1. Refer to the diagram below for placement of non-contact sensors.

2. Use care to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving.

3. One or more non-contact sensors shall be located where a risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier, entrapment areas, and/or pinch points. Use caution when installing non-contact sensors since some devices only cover a select area. For example, a photo beam will not cover the full height of a gate/fence area. Refer to the diagram below.

Contact Sensors (Edge Sensors):

Contact sensors generally are sensing edges or like devices. For gate operators utilizing contact sensors:

1. Refer to the diagram below for placement of contact sensors.

2. One or more contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the inside and outside leading edge of the gate. One or more edge sensors shall be located on the bottom edge of the gate if the gate is more than 6” above ground at any point of its arc or travel.

3. Hardwired contact sensors shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not subject to any mechanical damage.

4. Wireless contact sensors such as ones that transmit radio frequency (RF) signals to the gate operator for entrapment prevention functions shall be located where the transmission of the signals are not obstructed or impeded by building structures, landscaping or similar obstructions. All wireless contact sensors shall function under the intended end-use conditions.

ACCESSORY POWER:

Two plug-in power plugs are located on the back of the controller. These plugs are for low voltage accessories and ar e separately fused. Low voltage, low current draw transformers may be plugged into these outlets for accessory power. DO NOT USE THESE POWER OUTLETS FOR INSTALLATION OR SERVICE TOOLS. Each plug supplies 110 VAC when AC power is active to the gate operator. If AC is not available, the power plugs will not supply power. Accessories requiring power during battery backup modes should use the 24 VDC located on the controller terminals.

Additional accessory power may be found on the controller terminals. The controller terminals supply 24 VDC for accessories. This power is available during AC and battery power modes. When AC power is active, accessori es will be supplied 24 VDC without a power draw on the batteries. When the battery backup mode is active, accessories will be supplied 24 VDC fro m the batteries. If the battery power mode is used frequently, consider the current draw of the accessories. The lower the current draw, the longer the battery power supply will last. Additional 24 VDC for accessories may be found on the Radi o Terminal, Edge/Photo Terminal, and External Loop Terminal. A connection between 24V DC+ and Common will supply power.

REVERSE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT:

The gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. The sensor detects obstructions in both the open and close path of the gate. There is an OPEN SENSITIVITY Adjustment and a CLOSE SENSITIVITY Adjustment. To adjust the sensitivity:

1. Activate the gate to open.

2. While the gate is running open, slowly rotate the OPEN SENSITIVITY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the sensitivity until the gate stops in mid-travel.

3. Gently rotate the OPEN SENSITIVITY adjustment counter-clockwise 1/8 turn to DECREASE the sensitivity.

4. Activate the gate to close.

5. While the gate is running closed, slowly rotate the CLOSE SENSITIVITY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the sensitivity until the gate stops in mid-travel.

6. Gently rotate the CLOSE SENSITIVITY adjustment counter-clockwise 1/8 turn to DECREASE the sensitivity.

7. Operate the gate a few times to be sure it fully cycles without stopping.

8. Place an immobile object in the open path of the gate to stop the gate while in travel. The gate should stop and enter a Soft Shutdown upon striking the object.

9. Place an immobile object in the closed path of the gate to stop the gate while in travel. The gate should stop and enter a Soft Shutdown upon striking the object.

10.Repeat steps 2 - 6 until the correct sensitivity adjustment is found.

For the Reverse Sensor to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and

work freely in both directions. Repair or replace worn hardware.

Clockwise Turn:

INCREASE Sensitivity

(Reverse the gate more easily)

Counter-Clockwise Turn:

DECREASE Sensitivity

(Reverse the gate less easily)

CAUTION:

Gently rotate each

adjustment. Turning

the adjustment POT

too hard will break the

adjustment.

REVERSE SENSITIVITY SHUTDOWN:

Upon a first obstruction, the reverse sensor should:

1. Stop the gate and reverse it approximately two (2) inches.

2. Disable the Timer To Close Feature until the gate operator receives a new command = Soft Shutdown.

3. Any standard input can reactivate the gate and return it to normal operation.

Upon a second consecutive obstruction before the gate reaches either limit, the reverse sensor should:

1. Stop the gate.

2. Disable the gate operator = Hard Shut Down.

3. Sound the audio alarm for five (5) minutes or until the operator has been reset.

4. Only resetting the operator will reactivate the gate and return it to normal operation.

5. To reset the operator in a Hard Shut Down situation: Press the reset button on the left side of the controller or turn the power switch OFF and back ON.

CLOSE TIME DELAY ADJUSTMENT:

The gate operator is equipped with a built-in automatic timer to close feature. This feature should be set to the OFF position until proper safety and reverse devices have been installed. CAUTION: Turning on the Close Time Delay without proper safety and reverse devices can cause serious injury, death, and property damage. The Close Time Delay can be set to from 1 to 90 seconds. When active, the Close Time Delay will hold the gate open until the internal timer has timed out and then allows the gate to close. To turn OFF/ON and adjust the Close Time Delay:

1. To turn OFF the Close Time Delay, move DIP SWITCH 4 to the Left.

2. To turn ON the Close Time Delay, move DIP SWITCH 4 to the Right.

3. Turn power Off and back On to reset DIP Switch settings.

4. Rotate the TIME DELAY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the delay.

5. Rotate the TIME DELAY adjustment counter-clockwise to DECREASE the delay.

Clockwise Turn: INCREASE Time Delay

(Holds gate open longer time)

Counter-Clockwise Turn: DECREASE Time Delay

(Holds gate open shorter time)

Switch 4:

Timer ON

CAUTION:

Gently rotate each adjustment. Turning the

adjustment POT too hard will break the

adjustment.

LOOP INSTALLATION GUIDELINES:

Proper loop installation is a critical aspect of any gate application. An improper ly installed loop may operate intermittently causing false triggers, holding the gate open, or allowing the gate to close on traffic. T he following guidelines should be followed when installing loops:

1. Determine proper location and size of each loop. Chalk out

loops on the driveway:

 Loops should be 4 - 5 feet back from the gate path. Loops any

closer may be cause false activation when the gate passes by.

 Determine the size of the loop. Make the loop large enough so

a vehicle must pass over the loop. The average loop is 4’ x 8’. Consider the detection height.

 Determine the detection height. The typical sensing height is

2/3 of the shortest leg. (Example: a 4’ x 8’ loop typically has a detection height of 2 1/2 feet.) To increase the detection height, increase the loop size.

2. Cut loop slots in the driveway:

 Loop slot should be 1 1/2” to 2” deep.  Loop slot should be 1/4” wide.  Cut diagonal corner slots to protect the wire insulation and keep

the wire from changing directions quickly.

3. Install loop wire:

 Recommended Wire: 14 AGW to 18 AGW Stranded XLPE.  Starting at the gate operator, install the loop wire into the lead

and loop slots. Use one continuous run of wire for the loop.

 Install the appropriate number of turns as determined by total

loop square footage. (Use attached chart)

 Twist lead wires at least 6 turns per foot from the loop to the

loop input. (Hint: Pull the lead wires tight from the corner of the loop and twist using a power drill.)

 Route the lead wires to the edge of the driveway and into rigid

conduit under ground. Seal this joint to protect the wires.

 Press the loop wire to the bottom of the loop slot. Use Backer

Rod (foam rubber) to protect and keep the loop wires from rising when the sealant is poured.

 Seal the loop slots with a sealant. Make sure the sealant is

able to sink to the bottom of the loop slot and completely encase the loop wire. The wire should not move when the sealant has set.

Cause & Action

Operator detected an unexpected current overload while moving. Usually caused by the gate hitting an obstruction or tripping the sensitivity. This will put the operator in a Soft Shutdown.

1. Make sure the sensitivity settings are set correctly. Too light of a setting will cause the gate to stop and fault.

2. Make sure there are no external obstructions that are causing the gate to stop and shutdown.

Operator detected an unexpected current overload while moving a second time. Usually caused by the gate hitting an obstruction or tripping the sensitivity. This will put the operator in a Hard Shutdown.

1. Make sure the sensitivity settings are set correctly. Too light of a setting will cause the gate to stop and fault.

2. Make sure there are no external obstructions that are causing the gate to stop and shutdown.

Operator has run longer than normal. Usually caused by a bad limit or limits being miswired.

1. Check the limit for normal operation.

2. Make sure the limit wires are tight and wired correctly.

Motor Sensors have failed. Usually caused by a bad sensor or loose sensor wire.

1. Make sure the sensor wires are tight and well connected to the blue connector. While the operator is stopped, wiggle the Limit/Sensor connector. If the limit or sensor wires blink on and off, there is a loose connection.

2. Start the operator, watch Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 at startup. They should both blink before turning solid. If only one blinks, then the non-blinking sensor is not being seen.

3. Remove the motor from the gearbox. Both sensor lights should be on. Pass a flat screw driver between Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 on the motor plate. The Sensor LED on the control board should turn off and on as the screw driver passed through it.

4. Make sure the sensor cup on the gearbox shaft is tight. There are set screws in the collar. A loose sensor cup will slip and cause the sensors to miss counts.

Operator PCB has become too hot and caused a fault.

1. Make sure the control board heat sink is secured to the side of the controller box to help dissipate excess heat.

2. Determine if the operator has run excessively to cause an overheating problem.

3. Possibly a defective heat sensor on the control board. Have board repaired.

Master Slave communication has failed. Usually caused by a loose Master Slave wire or connector. A very strong lightning strike can sometimes cause damage to the master slave circuit on the control board.

1. Make sure the master slave wires are connected correctly and tight.

2. Route the master slave wire up over the control box to help pull the connector tighter against the top of the plug pins. Tightly routing under the controller can cause the connector to pull away from the plug pins and cause intermittent faults.

3. Unplug the master slave wire and set both operators as Masters. Test each operator independently to make sure there are no other problems or faults. After determining each operator runs by itself, reset the master slave settings and connect the master slave wire. If the problem continues, recheck wire and wire connections.

4. Run a new CAT5 wire on top of the driveway to test the master slave communication. This will determine if the underground wire is good or bad.

5. Possible damage to the control board master slave components. Have boards repaired.
