INSTALLATION
NOTE: Most units will require that this EXTRA limit switch be
added to their open limit switch assembly.
1. Install the K1 relay onto the control board of the Mega Arm
operator.
2. Auxiliary switch mounting: Remove (2) pan head screws
securing OPEN switch and discard. Mount auxiliary OPEN
switch on top of existing OPEN switch with (2) pan head
screws provided (Figures 3 & 4).
3. Run two wires from the second operator’s isolated common
and normally closed contacts of auxiliary open limit switch
(provided with kit) to the MEGA ARM J5 #8 and one of the
commons J5 #9-12.
4. Run two wires from the MEGA ARM’s K1 relay (common and
normally open) to the second operator’s common and open
input. J5 #8 was the unused SHADOW LOOP input on the
MEGA ARM.
NOTES:
• To avoid damage to relay, DO NOT exceed a maximum of 30V
at .5 amps through relay.
• A separate open device (24 hour timer, toggle switch) can be
run to the second operator to control it without raising the
gate arm. Tampering with the second operator’s safety loops,
safety edges and reverse sensors WILL NOT cause the arm to
raise if one tripped. The arm will only raise if an intended open
signal was sent to the MEGA ARM.
• For motorized teeth, vertical pivot or overhead operator, leave
S1-6, S1-8 OFF (this will keep the K1 relay latched down until
the arm reaches the down position. This will keep the second
gate operator locked open or teeth locked down until the arm
closes completely). In this mode, if the arm senses an impact,
the K1 relay will stay energized holding open (or teeth down)
the second operator until the arm times out and closes.
SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT OF
TWO MEGA ARM BARRIERS
(REQUIRES THE OPTIONAL SAMS KIT)
NOTE: (5.20 or greater) can be used when you have two entry
gates that you want sequence with each other. This is when you
can only have ONE gate raised at a time (bottle neck or gates at
a cross street). In this case, which ever one raises first will get
first priority, while if the other gets an open signal, it will be
HELD IN MEMORY, then raise once the first gate closes. This
will work if either gate has a telephone entry unit or access
device (AVI, prox, etc.).
Connect the K1 relay C and N.O. of each gate to the SHADOW
LOOP J5 #8 input and common of the other (Figure 2). (Leave
S1-6 and 8 OFF to allow relay to stay latched.) The auxiliary
open limit switch will not be used in this installation.
