SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION
All UL325 compliant LiftMaster gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application. Below are the six types of entrapment protection systems recognized by UL325 for use on this operator.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION TYPES
Type A: Inherent obstruction sensing system, self-contained
within the operator. This system must sense and initiate the reverse of the gate within two seconds of contact with a solid object.
Type B1: Connections provided for a non-contact device, such as
a photoelectric eye can be used as a secondary protection.
Type B2: Connections provided for a contact sensor. A contact
device such as a gate edge can be used for secondary
protection. Type C: Inherent adjustable clutch or pressure relief valve. Type D: Connections provided for a control
requiring continuous pressure to
operate the operator open and close. Type E: Built-in audio alarm. Examples
include sirens, horns or buzzers.
NOTE: UL requires that all installations must have warning signs placed in plain view on both sides of the gate to warn pedestrians of the dangers of motorized gate systems.

UL325 MODEL CLASSIFICATIONS

UL325 ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS
The chart above illustrates the entrapment protection requirements for each of the four UL325 classes.
In order to complete a proper installation you must satisfy the entrapment protection chart shown above. That means that the installation must have one primary means of entrapment protection and one independent secondary means of entrapment protection. Both primary and secondary entrapment protection methods must be designed, arranged or configured to protect against entrapments in both the open and close directions of gate travel.
For Example: For a slide gate system that is installed on a single-family residence (UL325 Class I) you must provide the following: As your primary type of entrapment protection you must provide Type A inherent (built into the operator) entrapment sensing and at least one of the following as your secondary entrapment protection: Type B1- Non-contact sensors such as photoelectric eyes, Type B2- Contact sensors such as gate edges or Type D- Constant pressure control.

1. Vehicular gate systems provide convenience and security. Gate systems are comprised of many component parts. The gate operator is only one component. Each gate system is specifically designed for an individual application.
2. Gate operating system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate systems design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards.
3. A gate operator can create high levels of force in its function as a component part of a gate system. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every design. Specific safety features include:
Gate Edges Guards for Exposed Rollers Photoelectric Sensors
Screen Mesh Vertical Posts Instructional and Precautionary Signage
4. Install the gate operator only when: a. The operator is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate. b. All openings of a horizontal swing gate are guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a minimum of 4' (1.2 m) above
the ground to prevent a 2-1/4" (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.
c. All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded, and guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.
5. The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening.
6. 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.
7. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate operator.
8. 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.
9. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate, or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use.
10. All warning signs must be installed where visible, on each side of the gate.
11. For a gate operator utilizing a non-contact sensor: a. See instructions on the placement of non-contact sensor for each type of application. b. 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.
c. 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.
12. For a gate operator utilizing a contact sensor such as an edge sensor: a. A hard wired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so the communication between the sensor and the gate
operator is not subject to mechanical damage.
b. A wireless contact sensor such as the one that transmits radio frequency (RF) signals to the 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.
c. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge and post mounted both inside and outside of a
vehicular horizontal slide gate. d. One or more contact sensors shall be located at the bottom edge of a vehicular vertical lift gate. e. One or more contact sensors shall be located on the inside and outside leading edge of a swing gate. Additionally, if the bottom
edge of a swing gate is greater than 6" (152 mm) above the ground at any point in its arc of travel, one or more contact sensors
shall be located on the bottom edge.

NOT FOR USE AS PEDESTRIAN PASSAGE! This operator is intended for vehicular use only. To prevent INJURY to pedestrians, a separate pedestrian access should be supplied, visible from the gate. Locate the pedestrian access where there is not a chance of INJURY at any point during full movement of the gate.
DO NOT MOUNT ACCESSORIES THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE THROUGH GATE!
WARNING SIGN PLACEMENT
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR OPEN ROLLER GATES
To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate:
• Install Warning signs on EACH side of gate in PLAIN VIEW.
• Permanently secure each Warning sign in a suitable manner using fastening holes.
• Injuries occur when people get their hands or feet caught between the top or bottom of the gate and the gate roller. These potential pinch-points should be guarded against at all times. Enclosed style gate tracks are available for refitting of these rollers from many fence suppliers. Also, roller guards are available for installing over the rollers.
• UL325 requires that, when used, contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and be post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate. Non-contact sensors such as photo eyes must protect during both open and close gate cycles.
• Injuries occur when people put their hands and arms through openings in the grill while the gate is operating. They cannot retract their arm and it gets caught between the moving gate grill and the stationary fence post or fence. This potential hazard can be averted by placing a 4' (1.2 m) screen mesh on the gate to prevent access through openings anywhere the gate may travel. See Safety Brochure for details. To prevent entrapment injuries, mount controls at least 6' (1.8 m) from the gate or any moving parts of the gate.

6. Adjust the chain to proper length and attach second take-up bolt to chain end. Secure the take-up bolt to the front gate bracket as shown.
Adjust nuts on chain take-up bolts to remove chain slack. A general rule of thumb is to leave a maximum of 1" (2.5 cm) of chain slack for every 10' (3.1 m) of chain length.
Do not overtighten chain.
NOTE ABOUT SOME TYPES OF CANTILEVER GATES:
With some cantilever gates over 20' (6.1 m) long, you may need to add a brace along the length of the gate to prevent the gate from bowing when chain is tightened. This may also be required on some styles of gates that are constructed out of aluminum. If positioned properly, this brace can also be used as a chain support.

RPM SENSOR (HALL EFFECT) ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: Normally the RPM Sensor (hall effect) does not need adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping vibration or rough handling.
These operators use an internal entrapment protector system. This system consists of the control board, magnet, and RPM sensor (hall effect). It may become necessary to adjust the sensor for correct alignment. To do so please perform the following steps:
1. The sensor must be centered over the magnet wheel. Adjust with horizontal screws.
2. The sensor must be level.
3. The sensor air gap should be adjusted to .010 - .015 of an inch (.25 - .38 mm). (The thickness of a business card may be used to gauge the correct distance). Adjust with vertical screws.

ACCESSORY WIRING (CONTINUED)
Terminals 7 & 5 (Com) - Hard Open Override Control Input
These terminals are intended for use only with the open control of a 3-button station that is installed within line of sight of the gate. A momentary activation of this input will cause the gate to open. Activation of this input for longer than three seconds will enable the control to be used as a constant pressure override device. This will allow the user, in emergencies, to override a failed accessory such as a loop detector or photo-eye.
Terminals 4 & 5 (Com) - Close Override Control Input
These terminals are intended for use only with the close control of a 3-button station that is installed within line of sight of the gate. A momentary activation of this input will cause the gate to close. Activation of this input for longer than three seconds will enable the control to be used as a constant pressure override device. This will allow the user, in emergencies, to override a failed accessory such as a loop detector or photo-eye.
Terminals 8 & 5 (Com) - Interrupt (Safety) Loop Input
These terminals are intended for use with a loop detector. This input functions to reverse a closing gate to the open limit. Latching this input will reset the timer to close.
Terminals 2 & 5 (Com) - Shadow Loop Input
These terminals are intended for use with a loop detector and is primarily used on swing gate operators. This input protects cars by preventing the gate from moving off of the open or close limit when the shadow loop input is active.
The control board senses commands using +24Vdc from terminal #3. Commands are seen when +24Vdc is applied to the controller’s input terminals. NOTE: The control board has built in
surge suppression circuitry however please take precautions when adding any additional surge protection.
MASTER/SECOND SYSTEMS Dual Gate Communications
The control board is capable of running the operator in a master or second mode depending on (S4) switch setting.
Before initiating any command the master unit queries for the presence of a “second unit” for a time period of one second. If the master gets no response the operator will operate in a stand alone mode. NOTE: For single unit applications, a jumper must be
placed between 11 and 12 of the field wiring terminal block. In this mode no further communications will take place during travel. If the master detects the presence of a second unit the master will continue to query the second unit during travel. The second unit will send a response to the master for every query. The second operator will stop if there is a period of one second or more of no communications.
When two operators are connected in dual gate configuration accessories may be connected to either the master or second.
NOTE: Do not run Master/Second communication wiring in the same conduit as the power and control wiring. The Second unit will require a normally close stop circuit for proper system operation. After Master/Second wiring has been completed and the S4 switch programmed, both units must have their power cycled to initiate proper Master/Second communication. The motor learn function must be completed in stand alone mode prior to Master/Second wiring.

SAMS OPERATION
1. When an authorized vehicle accesses the gate system, the
SAM system responds by first opening the gate farthest from the vehicle, the swing or slide gate.
2. Once the swing or slide gate is open, the barrier gate begins
its open cycle.
3. Once the barrier is open the vehicle may pass through the
SAM system. At this point you have two options in how you would like to initiate the SAM systems closure. You may chose to:
a) Use a timer to close system to automatically close the
barrier gate after a preset amount of time or
b) Use a loop system to close the barrier gate after the vehicle
has passed through the SAM system.
4. Once the barrier gate is closed the slide or swing gate will
activate its internal timer to close and begin closing.
5. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system before
the slide or swing begins to close the barrier will open and allow the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
6. If another authorized vehicle accesses the SAM system during
the slide or swing gates closing cycle the SAM system will reopen the slide or swing gate. Once the slide or swing gate reaches the open position the barrier will then open to allow the vehicle to pass through the SAM system.
7. If no other authorized vehicles access the SAM system the
swing or slide gate will close followed by the barrier.
SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS)
The Sequenced Access Management System or SAMS allows the customer more control when managing vehicular entrances to areas such as apartment complexes, businesses and gated communities. The basic concept of the system is that traffic is controlled by two gates installed in tandem, a fast moving gate such as a barrier gate operator and a slower moving more secure or ornamental gate such as a single or pair of slide/swing gate operator. The design of this gate system balances the demands of speed during high traffic periods with security during low traffic periods. Barrier gates typically have the fastest open times of the many gate operator types and the slide or swing gates allow you to effectively seal off the perimeter of the complex you are planning to secure.
NOTE: Connect all entry devices to the slide or swing gate. If using a device, such as a 7-day timer, to latch the slide or swing gate open during high traffic times, connect the device’s N/O relay output to the board’s Interrupt (Safety) Loop input. Once the device activates the Interrupt (Safety) Loop input, the next vehicle to access the SAMS system will lock the gate in the open position until the device deactivates. When the device deactivates, the timer to close will automatically close and secure the gate.
SAMS WIRING
1. Install conduit between the BG770 and the SL585/595 for SAMS control wiring.
2. Run a 4-conductor cable in the conduit between the BG770 SL585/595.
3. Locate the SAMS relay terminals (J5) on the control board in the SL585/595 and locate the auxiliary limit switch in the BG770.
4. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control board to terminal 1 on the BG770 terminal strip.
5. Attach a wire from the SAMS relay terminal (J5) on the control board to terminal 3 on the BG770 barrier gates terminal strip.
6. Attach a wire from terminal 5 of the SL585/595 accessory wiring terminal block to the common (COM) on the auxiliary limit switch in the barrier gate.
7. Attach a wire from terminal 8 of the SL585/595 accessory wiring terminal block to the normally open (NO) on the auxiliary limit switch.
8. Test for correct functionality of the SAM system.

6. It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a Digital Voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the operator it is within ten percent of the operators rating.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.
3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
4. Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of INJURY or DEATH.
5. Use the emergency release ONLY when the gate is not moving.
6. KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owner’s manual. Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
7. The entrance is for vehicles ONLY. Pedestrians MUST use separate entrance.
8. Disconnect ALL power BEFORE performing ANY maintenance.
9. ALL maintenance MUST be performed by a LiftMaster professional.

To avoid SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY or DEATH disconnect
electric power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments.
WARNING
WARNING
SOLENOID ACTUATED BRAKE
The brake minimizes over-travel caused by gate coasting. An added feature of the brake is to assist in preventing back driving of the gate. The brake is spring-applied whenever the motor is not running. Anytime the motor is running, the electric solenoid physically releases the brake.
A solenoid brake is standard on SL585/595 operators. The brake is adjusted at the factory and should not need additional adjustment for the the life of the friction pad.
Replace friction pads when necessary. Refer to the illustration for identification of components for the solenoid type brake system.
FRICTION CLUTCH
The friction clutch system is not an automatic reversing device. It only serves to minimize damage to the gate operator and gate, and to help minimize vehicle damage. If you need an external automatic obstruction sensing device, items such as gate edges and photo beams are available to help protect pedestrians (page 4).
The clutch mechanism must be adjusted properly. During the installation of the operator, you must tighten the clutch spring lock nut so it is tight enough to operate the gate, yet loose enough so that if the gate meets an obstruction, the clutch will slip.
1. Loosen set screws of torque adjustment nut on the gear reducer output shaft.
2. Back off torque nut until there is very little tension on the belleville washers.
3. Tighten torque nut gradually until there is just enough tension to permit the operator to move the gate smoothly through a complete open/close cycle, but to allow the clutch to slip if the gate is obstructed.
4. Re-tighten the set screw that is directly over the flat portion of the shaft.
CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES
MOTOR LEARN FUNCTION (FORCE PROFILE)
This function is preprogrammed at factory. If either board or motor is replaced, the control board will need to be reprogrammed to “LEARN” the specific motor RPM profile of your operator, the red button “S3” is provided for this. This is important for accurate force control. Failure to do so may result in improper and unsafe operation.
NOTE: Motor Learn must be performed in stand alone mode.
1. Detach the unit from the gate, the motor needs to be learned without a load. (Do not use the manual release, the limit shaft must be turning during learn sequence.)
2. Press the motor learn button. The yellow LED should start to flash rapidly.
3. Push and hold down either the open or the close buttons. The motor will run for a few seconds and then stop. If the LED goes out the motor is learned. If the unit activates a limit before completing the learn or some other error occurs the LED will go back to on continuously. If this happens try learning while running in the opposite direction.
4. Reconnect the unit to the gate, reset the limits and adjust the force control.
Motor Learn Button (S3)

FORCE CONTROL
Set the force control pot such that the unit will complete a full cycle of gate travel but can be reversed off an obstruction without applying an unreasonable amount of force. On most operators this will be around the middle of the range.
NOTE: For LED location refer to illustration on previous page.
DIAGNOSTICS (LEDS AND CODES)
There are three diagnostic LEDs. Two red LEDs (OLS, CLS) are indicators for the open and close limits. The LEDs are illuminated when the limit switch contacts are closed.
The third amber LED (DIAG) is used to blink out diagnostic codes. The number is the count of the number of times the LED is on in an 8 second period. The LED is on for approximately 1/2 second and repeats every second until the number is reached. There will be a pause following each pulse cycle (1-6 pulses) to differentiate between the different diagnostic codes.

OPERATOR FAILS TO RUN
CONTACTOR CHATTERS WHEN OPERATOR BEGINS TO MOVE
OPERATOR RUNS SLOW AND/OR TRIPS THE INTERNAL OVERLOAD
1) Improper wired stop control
2) Fault in the operator check the yellow
diagnostic LED at the top right of the control board next to the programming dip switches.
3) An accessory is active or malfunctioning check the red input
status LEDs, D11-D31
4) Improper J4 connector wiring (master/second)
5) Low or no high voltage power
6) Low or no low voltage power
7) No LEDs illuminated on the control board
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check the green LED (D17) on control board. If the green LED is off,
check to make sure a stop control has been installed across terminals TB1-3 and TB1-5 of the terminal strip.
If the yellow LED blinks six times, there is a master/second unit
communication failure. If operator is a single unit, make sure there is a jumper across terminals TB1-11 and TB1-12. If operator is in a dual gate configuration, make sure that the communication wiring between the two units is undamaged and complete.
If the yellow light is solid, the board needs to learn the motor. Follow
the directions on page 22.
If any red LEDs are on, check the corresponding input. An installed
accessory may be wired incorrectly or malfunctioning. Remove the accessory and test the operator.
If the open or interrupt (safety) loop LED is on, make sure factory
plug-in loop detectors are working properly and appropriate loops are installed on the loop input terminals.
Stand-Alone Operators: Make sure there is a jumper installed across
the J4 connector.
Master/Second Operation: Make sure that the master/second wiring is
installed correctly and is intact (not damaged).
Measure the incoming voltage at the unit’s on/off switch. It should be
within 5% of the operator’s rating when running. Make sure that the proper wire gauge was used for the distance between breaker and operator by consulting the wiring specifications section on page 8 of this manual.
Measure the voltage at terminals R1 and R2 in the operator. This
voltage should be within 5% of 24Vac. If the high voltage power is good and the low voltage power is bad, check to make sure the circuit fuse is not tripped and that the correct primary tap is used on the transformer. If fuse and tap are correct, replace the transformer.
If both primary and secondary power is good, check to make sure
that the J2 connector is making good contact with the pins on the control board. If all is good, replace the control board.
1) Transformer’s secondary is overloaded
2) Low primary (high voltage) power
Remove all accessory devices and test the operator. If the contactor
stops chattering, find an alternate power source for some of the devices.
Measure the incoming line voltage at the unit’s on/off switch. It
should be within 5% of the operator’s rating when running. Make sure that the proper wire gauge was used for the distance between breaker and operator by consulting the wiring specifications section on page 8 of this manual.
1) Low primary (high voltage) power
2) Problem in the motor
3) Problem in the contactor
4) Problem in the brake system
Measure the incoming line voltage at the unit’s on/off switch as well
as the meter base or sub panel. Make sure there is not a major change in voltage. The voltage at the operator should be within 5% of the operator’s rating when running.
Check the number of amps currently being drawn from the panel.
Make sure that the total power being drawn does not exceed the panel’s rating.
Make sure that the proper wire gauge was used for the distance
between breaker and operator by consulting the wiring specifications section on page 8 of this manual.
Perform a visual inspection of the motor. Examine the motor’s labels
for any distortion or signs of overheating. Replace the motor if it is humming, grinding or making excessive noise. NOTE: Repeated
motor problems indicate poor primary power.
Examine the contactor for sparking, smoke or burn marks. Remove
the wires from one side of the contactor, then measure the contact points for high resistance (above 1 ohm). Replace the contactor.
Make sure that the brake is disengaging when the contactor pulls in
and engaging when the contactor releases. Replace solenoid.
FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSE FIX

FAULT POSSIBLE CAUSE FIX
MASTER OR SECOND OPERATOR IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY
OPERATOR RUNS IN WRONG DIRECTION
OPERATOR RUNS BUT THEN STOPS AND REVERSES DIRECTION
MOTOR RUNS BUT GATE DOES NOT MOVE; OPERATOR STOPS AND ALARMS
OPERATOR OPENS IMMEDIATELY UPON POWER UP AND DOES NOT CLOSE
OPERATOR HAS TROUBLE LEARNING THE MOTOR
PROGRAMMING CHANGES DO NOT EFFECT THE GATE
GATE EDGE PAUSES GATE WHEN STRUCK DURING OPENING
GATE DOES NOT ACTIVATE TIMER TO CLOSE AFTER THE CLOSE PHOTO EYE IS BROKEN
1) Failure to cycle power after setup
2) Communication wiring may be damaged or improperly wired for dual gate operation
3) Master or second unit is not programmed correctly

TROUBLESHOOTING

The power to each unit must be cycled in order to initiate proper
master/second communication if the operators were previously in stand-alone mode.
Make sure that the communication wire that is used is twisted pair
and not run in the same conduit with any power wiring. Failure to do so will result in interference across the master/second communication line.
Review program settings page 19 and check both the master and
second for proper programming.
1) Operator’s main power is out of phase (three phases only)
Turn off the unit’s main power at the breaker and swap any two
power leads at the operator’s main power switch. Apply power and retest the operator. See important note on page 12.
1) Entrapment (force pot) incorrectly set
2) Gate is binding or not running smoothly
3) Clutch is not adjusted properly
4) Brake is not functioning properly
5) Observe red LEDs D29 and D31
6) RPM (Hall Effect) Sensor is not aligned
This pot must be set so that the gate will run smoothly normally and
reverse when encountering an obstruction.
Disengage the manual release and roll gate open and close by hand at
normal operating speed. Make sure that the gate runs smoothly and does not bind. If the gate is hard to move or binds, repair the gate.
Adjust the clutch so that the operator can move the gate throughout
its travel without slipping but will slip when the gate hits an obstruction.
Make sure that the brake operates correctly. The brake should
disengage when the contactor activates and engage when the contactor releases.
Both LEDs will indicate the activation of entrapment protection
devices on terminals TB1-9 and TB1-10 on the control board. Remove the devices and retest. If the operator now runs without fault, check those accessories as well as their wiring.
Make sure that the sensor is adjusted so that it is centered over the
limit shaft’s magnet and is 10-15 thousandths of and inch (business card thickness) from the magnet.
Replace the sensor if it is adjusted correctly but continues to fail.
1) Clutch is not adjusted properly
2) Operator’s manual release is not aligned
Adjust the clutch so that the operator can move the gate throughout
its travel without slipping but will slip when the gate hits an obstruction.
Make sure that the manual release is not engaged. The operator’s
manual release, when engaged, will set off the entrapment if the gate is given a command to move.
1) Active or malfunctioning accessory
check the red input status LEDs, D11-D13
If any red LEDs are on, check the corresponding input. An installed
accessory may be wired incorrectly or malfunctioning. Remove the accessory and test the operator.
If the soft open or interrupt (safety) loop LED is on, make sure
factory plug-in loop detectors are working properly and appropriate loops are installed on the loop input terminals.
1) Operator’s manual release is engaged Make sure the manual release is not engaged. The operator’s manual
release, when engaged, will not allow the entrapment sensor to provide feedback to the control board when the operator is moving.
1) Check the save switch on switch S1-1 If the switch S1-1 is in the on position, any subsequent programming
changes will not affect the gate. To make programming changes, switch S1-1 off, make desired changes, and then switch S1-1 on.
1) Open obstruction input is programmed incorrectly
The open obstruction input has been programmed to function with
photo eyes, not gate edges. Refer to page 15 and reprogram the obstruction inputs for correct operation.
1) Close obstruction input is programmed incorrectly
The close obstruction input has been programmed to function with
gate edges, not photo eyes. Refer to page 15 and reprogram the obstruction inputs to match the accessories that are installed on operator.
