Use the target sensor
closest to the trailing

To install the target magnet, take the following steps:
1. With the gate closed, mark the chain link as shown in the illustration above.
2. Press the OPEN button to move the gate and chain a few feet and then press STOP.
3. Turn OFF the DC power switch (leave the AC power switch ON). Performing this step
keeps the gate from moving accidentally while you install the target magnet.
4. Find the mark on the chain link and count about four (4) xed links toward the
operator (approximately 3 inches, 76mm).

When the gate is CLOSED, the target
magnet should stop between the
target sensor and the roller chain sprocket. The target
magnet MUST NOT enter the sprocket teeth.

6. Fasten the target magnet to the chain link as shown in the illustration. Insert the screw and tighten it securely. To avoid damage to
the idler wheel, the head of the screw must be ush with the chain rollers.
7. To allow gate movement, turn ON the DC power switch.
8. Test the application of the target magnet by pressing the CLOSE button. An audible beep is heard the rst time the target magnet
passes the target sensor. The limit sensor light on the Smart DC Controller also ashes red.
NOTE: Use one target magnet and make sure the target magnet activates. Toggle both power switches OFF and ON. The gate will
move. When the target magnet passes the target sensor, limits are automatically restored. If LEARN OPEN appears on the display,
the limits need to be re-established. Return to step 6 on page 5.
