IMPORTANT: The Hold Open “Timer” setting (page 18) effects how the gate will

respond to the radio receiver command.

The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can control the gate:

Open-Stop-Close

By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer OFF (see page 18):

Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follow:

First command opens the gate,

Second command stops the gate and

Third command closes the gate

Any subsequent commands will continue in the same order to control the gate.

This type of configuration is not recommended for a commercial installations.

Guidelines for Loop Installation

Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.

Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide.

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.

Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.

Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.

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 manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector and/or loop wire.

In General

In regards to the Viking control board, all external safety devices and access controls contain, and are, simple relays that provide an input to the Viking control board when the device is activated.

When these devices are activated, their internal relays create a contact, or short, between the “C” and “N.O.” terminals. This contact is what provides the command to the Viking control board.

! TECHNICAL TIP: Viking uses the

Normally Open “N.O.” contact from the device, excluding “fail-safe” type photo beams. In such instances, the Normally Closed “N.C.” will be used instead.
