RAM 30
Prior to installation of a Ramset gate operator,
the following must be observed:
(per UL 325.51.8.4).
a)
Install the vehicular gate operator only when:
1) The Vehicular Gate Operator is appropriate
for the construction of the gate and the usage
class of the gate.
2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are
guarded or screened from the bottom of the
gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m.) above
the ground to prevent a 2 1/4 inch (57.15 mm.)
diameter sphere from passing through the
openings anywhere in the gate, and in that
portion of the adjacent fence that the gate
covers in the open position.
3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or
guarded.
4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
b) The Vehicular Gate Operator is intended for
installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied a separate
access opening.
c) The gate must be installed in a location so that
enough clearance is supplied between the gate
and adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging
gates shall not open into public access areas.
d) The gate must be properly installed and work
freely in both directions prior to the installation of
the Vehicular Gate Operator. Do not over-tighten the
operator clutch to compensate for a damaged
gate.
e) Controls must be far enough from the gate so
that the user is prevented from coming in contact
with the gate while operating the controls.
Controls intended to be used to reset a Vehicular
Gate Operator after 2 sequential activations of
the entrapment protection device or devices
must be located in the line-of-sight of the gate.
Outdoor or easily accessible controls shall have
a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
f) All warning signs and placards must be installed
where visible in the area of the gate.
g) For Vehicular Gate Operators utilizing a non-
contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1 Type
B1 non-contact sensor (photo electric sensor or
the equivalent).
1) See instructions on the placement of noncontact sensors for each type of application.
2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of
nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle,
trips the sensor while the gate is still
moving, and.
3) One or more non-contact sensors shall be
located where the risk of entrapment or
obstruction exists, such as the perimeter
reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
h) For a Vehicular Gate Operator utilizing a contact
sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1
1) One or more contact sensors shall be located
at the leading edge, trailing edge, and postmounted both inside and outside of a vehicular
horizontal slide gate.
2) One or more contact sensors shall be located
at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift
gate.
3) One or more contact sensors shall be located
at the pinch point of a vehicular vertical pivot
gate.
4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be located
and its wiring arranged so that the communication between the sensor and the vehicular
gate operator is not subjected to mechanical
damage.
5) A wireless contact sensor such as one that
transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the
vehicular gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall be located where the
transmission of the signals are not obstructed
or impeded by building structures, natural
landscaping or similar obstruction. A wireless contact sensor shall function under the
intended end-use conditions.

Terminal # 13 - +24 VAC:
Provides 24 VAC for peripheral accessories.
Terminal # 14 and 15 - MAG (-) & MAG (+):
Supplies 24 VDC to a Magnetic Lock when the
gate is closing or closed. If gate is opening or
opened, then no power is supplied. Leave open
if not used.
Terminal # 16 - M BRAKE:
Used ONLY on the Ram 50 Operator. If while the
gate is closed someone or something tries to
manually open the gate without a proper signal
(keypad, exit loop, radio signal…), the motor will
lock up for 6 minutes. After the 6 minutes, the
operator will then secure close the gate.
Terminal # 17 and 18 - MOTOR 1 & MOTOR 2:
Supplies power to the motor. Direction depends
on Dip Switch "C" 7 (see “Dip Switch Configuration”). These wires are preset and connected in
the factory and should not be moved.

RAMSET “INTELLIGATE” CONTROL BOARD
Introduction:
Ramset’s “Intelligate” Control Board works
with Sliding, Swinging and Overhead vehicular
gate operators. It is controlled by a programmable microprocessor that reads and precisely
executes all functions of the Control Board.
The Control Board is powered by a separate
mounted 18 V AC transformer. This allows no neces-
sary board modifications between 110 VAC and
220 VAC single-phase applications. Some of the
functions of the Control Board are: 0 - 60 seconds
automatic close timer, self adjusting E.R.D. with low
and high setting, constant warning, prewarning,
secure close, one pass, open & close delay, left/right
hand operation, plug-in loop detectors and RS485
three wire master/slave connection.

Important information for the homeowner
Ask your technician about all the features of our new Ramset operator.
Safety devices, such as reverse loops, phantom loops, photo eyes, or miller edges must be
installed on your gate before the operator may be used. Ask your technician which safety devices best
suit your safety needs.
Read your warranty certificate and fill out your warranty extension card. Return the warranty
card, via certified mail, to Ramset within 90 days of purchase:
Ramset Automatic Gate Services, Inc.
9116 De Garmo Ave.
Sun Valley, CA. 91352
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the controls away from children.
The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians should use a separate entrance.
Always keep people, children and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. No
one should cross the area of a moving gate.
Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving. Make sure when using the foot
release or hand crank, the circuit breaker for the operator is turned off.
Have the technician give you a demonstration of how to use the emergency release.
Keep gates properly maintained. Have a qualified gate technician service the gate operator and
gate hardware every six months to a year. This includes checking of safety devices, E.R.D. and
battery back up systems.
Warning signs must be placed on every gate in a highly visible area.
To reset the audible alarm on the gate operator you must turn the circuit breaker for the operator
off for approximately 10 seconds, then back on. An exterior switch or button can also be
installed on the operator to shut off the audible alarm.
Always keep a good relationship with your technician and keep his or her number handy
for future maintenance or emergencies.
Ramset wishes to thank you for trusting us
to meet your gate operator needs.
