PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES

The Model RSX1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years. It is ruggedly built of the finest materials and has been thoroughly inspected and tested at the Allstar factory. It has many features that will aid in the installation and testing of the complete gate system. The RSX1000 has been evaluated by Underwriters Laboratory, Inc. (UL) and is certified to comply with ANSI/UL Standard for Safety 325, as evidenced by the UL symbol on the name plate.

BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE

FEATURES OF THE RSX1000 AND ITS PROPER INSTALLATION PROCEDURES.

The RSX1000 Vehicular Gate Operator is designated a Class I Vehicular Horizontal Slide Gate Operator, and is intended

for usage in a residential home, maximum of four single families in the dwelling, or a garage or parking area associated with such a home, or a similar location with regard to the cycle usage (see below). Vehicular Gate operators are also designated Class II (high cycle usage commercial location or multi-family home), III (industrial location not intended to service the general public, i.e. factories), and IV (secure or restricted access locations, i.e. airports and prisons). The RSX1000 model operator cycle usage is rated at a maximum of 10 cycles per hour, 50 cycles maximum per day.

The RSX1000 (as well as gate operators sold by other manufactures) is designed to start and move vehicular slide gates weighing as much as 300 pounds with a maximum of 16 feet in length. As such, the RSX1000 is capable of producing high levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate system that designers, installers and users be aware of the hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design, installation and use of vehicular gate systems and gate operators.

The gate operator is only one part of a complete automatic gate operating system. As each location and usage is different, a properly designed system will include all applicable safety devices.

As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL possible operational hazards have been considered and eliminated. YOU MUST ADVISE AND WARN the purchaser and the ultimate user of ANY HAZARDS

that you have not

been able to eliminate.

The RSX1000 has several features that can help reduce the hazards of your gate system.

The Allstar RSX1000 has a built-in "Overload Detector" that can help reduce the hazards of your gate system. This mechanism, however, must not be considered as the primary obstruction sensing system. Consider all available options (electric leading edges, photoelectric sensors, protective screen mesh, etc.) to eliminate hazards in your gate system design.

The RSX1000’s built-in overload detector will activate if there is an increase in force above that normally required to move the gate. The sensitivity is independently adjustable for the OPEN or CLOSE direction. THE SENSITIVITY ACTIVATION

POINTS ARE ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THE SETTINGS MUST BE TESTED PERIODICALLY TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE RESPONSIVE THE SETTINGS CAN BE MADE. DILIGENT MAINTENANCE OF THE GATE ROLLERS AND THE GATE TRACK WILL ASSURE THE MOST RESPONSIVE OPERATION OF THE SENSITIVITY MECHANISM. (See Pagez17).

Adevise the purchaser to check the sensitivity of the Overload Device periodically and record the date tested on the Log provided on page 2 (see Figure 1).

THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT COVER ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND

SITUATIONS WHICH MAY OCCUR DURING ITS USE. IT MUST BE UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S) INSTALLING, MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT USE THIS EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED PURPOSE — OPERATING A SLIDE GATE.

Connections for External Entrapment Prevention Sensors

Because all gate system installations are different, the RSX1000 control panel provides independent connections for Open and Close non-contact (photoelectric) and contact (edge) sensors. In this way a photoelectric sensor could be utilized to guard the gate area when closing and an edge sensor would provide the protection when opening. Depending on the particular application a combination contact and non-contact sensor protection system for the open and close directions may provide more effective entrapment protection than a single device for both directions. See pages 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 19, 20, 21, and 22.

SMART™ Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer

The RSX1000 has a Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer, SMART™. The amount of time for the first few cycles of operation are registered and averaged within the motor controller circuitry. After the first few initial cycles, if the gate is activated and no other command is given or an end limit (open or close) is not reached in the previously counted cycle time plus approximately 2 seconds, the operator will be turned off. See page 18.

OTHER FEATURES Auto Close Timer: Adjustable from 2 to 60 seconds, provides

an automatic closure of the gate from the full open position. See page 17 and 18.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE

WARNING!

GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION

SAFETY CHECK LIST:

• The RSX1000 operator may be installed only on a Class I

Vehicular Slide Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight & length etc.).

• Make sure that the gate moves freely, all rollers are in good

working order, the gate does not bind in any manner and the gate area is clean and free of irregularities. DO NOT INSTALL THE OPERATOR UNTIL ALL GATE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN CORRECTED.

• Do not increase the built-in overload detector adjustment to

compensate for a poorly working gate. A well maintained gate will ensure easy manual operation (if needed) and maximum operator obstruction sensitivity.

• Install the operator on the inside of the property/fence line. DO

NOT install an operator on the public side of the fence line or gate.

• Make sure the gate operating system is placed far enough back

from the road to eliminate traffic backup. The distance from the road, size of the gate, usage level and gate cycle/speed must be taken into consideration to eliminate potential hazards.

• The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is

supplied between the gate and any adjacent structures when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment.

• For ORNAMENTAL “GRILL TYPE” GATES (or any

other type of open gate where a handhold or toehold may be achieved), injuries may occur when people put arms through the openings or children “ride” the gate by standing on the bars and holding on to the

gate. THIS POTENTIAL HAZARD CAN BE MINIMIZED BY INSTALLING A MESH SCREEN ON THE GATE. Allstar strongly recommends the entire gate and adjacent fence area the gate covers when open be meshed or guarded such that a handhold or toehold cannot be achieved. At a minimum all openings on a horizontal slide gate must be guarded or screened from the bottom of the gate to a mimimum of 4 feet above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch (57.15 mm) sphere from passing through the openings anywhere in the gate, and in that portion of the fence the gate covers when in the open position. See Figure 2.

• All RSX1000 gate operators are VEHICULAR GATE

OPERATORS and as such are NOT INTENDED FOR PEDESTRIAN traffic. In installations where pedestrians passage through the fence is necessary, install a pedestrian access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. Locate the vehicular gate and the pedestrian access opening such that persons will not come into contact with the vehicular gate during entire path of travel of the vehicular gate. See page 21 for additional information.

• Use the illustration at left (Figure 3) and the diagrams and

information on pages 11, 12, and 13 to minimize the risk of injury in your design of the slide gate operator system. IDENTIFY THE ENTRAPMENT ZONES AND PINCH POINT AREAS IN YOUR GATE. Design the gate installation to minimize the risk of entrapment in these areas. Install additional safety equipment such as electric gate edges and photocells to further minimize risk. All entrapment zones are required to be protected.

• Entrapment Zones: Design in personal entrapment protection

devices to protect people from entrapment in the zones shown in Figure 3 at left and the diagrams and information on pages 11, 12, and 13. Install vertical posts with electric gate edges attached on both sides of the gate to prevent body entrapment.

• Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges,

etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3 and the diagrams and information on pages 11, 12, and 13. Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to minimize the risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and the roller.

Page 5

A: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN & INSTALLATION

• DO NOT consider the built-in overload detector as the primary

defense system. Consider all options in the gate system design.

• DO NOT connect any auxiliary equipment to the RSX1000 operator

(detectors, card readers, etc.) until the gate operator and all its functions are fully tested. Only connect one device at a time and ensure its proper function(s) before moving on to the next device.

• DO NOT locate any control device (key switch, switch, key pad,

card reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any manner. Locate all control devices a minimum of 10 feet from the gate when opened or closed.

• Outdoor or easily accessible controls must be of the security type to

prevent unauthorized use of the system.

• Install all devices that will Open, Close or Stop the gate in such a

manner that THE GATE WILL BE IN FULL VIEW WHEN THE DEVICE IS OPERATED.

• Before activating the "timer to close" option of the RSX1000,

ENSURE THE PERSONAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES (operator reversing feature, edges, photocells) ARE OPERATING and install VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS AND VEHICLE DETECTORS for protection of user vehicles. Read the manual for information on the installation of these devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.

• USE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN WORKING NEAR THE

BELTS AND PULLEYS when the operator cover is removed. Apply power to the operator only when instructed to do so.

• When the cover of the RSX1000 Control Box cover is removed,

high voltage will be exposed. NEVER LEAVE THE INSTALLATION WITH THE CONTROL BOX COVER REMOVED.

• ALWAYS TURN OFF THE POWER BEFORE ATTEMPTING

SERVICE OF EITHER THE ELECTRICAL OR MECHANICAL SYSTEMS.

• SECURELY ATTACH THE WARNING SIGNS provided with the

RSX1000 on the gate (one on the outside and one on the inside) where they can be seen by persons in the area of the gate to alert them of automatic gate operation. Full compliance with the UL requirements requires the signs be installed. (If the user refuses to have the warning signs installed we (as the Gate Operator Manufacturer) recommend that you note this on your records and have the user sign a disclaimer.) See Figure 4.

THE CONCRETE OPERATOR PAD

B: PREPARING THE SITE

Installation requires the presence of a suitable concrete pad as a base for the operator. The dimensions of this pad should be sufficient to allow at least 5" of clearance from each edge of the pad to the nearest operator mounting hole. The top of the pad should be 3" above grade to raise the operator above any standing water, while the depth of the pad below grade is dependent on the weight and size of the gate and the soil conditions at the site of the installation, also consult your local building codes. The RSX1000 cover is 34" high and is removed by lifting it vertically off the operator. THE SITE FOR THE OPERATOR SHOULD BE CHOSEN WITH AT LEAST 35" OF CLEARANCE ABOVE THE TOP OF THE UNIT.

If no suitable concrete base exists, a pad must be poured. See Figures 5 and 6 for plans for this pad. Consult local building codes for depth of base. Typical depths range from 24 to 36 inches. In either case, if vehicles are going to be operated in the vicinity of the operator, consider installation of protection bollards in front of the operator.

Figure 5: Pad Configuration

NOTE: Before connecting the operator, use a voltmeter to insure that the electrical service is 115 VAC. Connection to 220 VAC service is the most common cause of board failure in new installations and is NOT

covered by the warranty.

The RSX1000 requires a 3-wire (Hot, Common, Ground), 115

VAC, electrical circuit with a 15 Amp breaker for proper operation. In installations with more than one operator, each

operator must have a separate service from the breaker panel. Powering multiple operators from the same service can result in having to "de-sensitize" the obstruction sensing adjustment to prevent one operator from overloading the other. The electrical hookup is made in the junction box located in the right front corner of the frame. See Figure 7.

The AWG wire size for the electrical service depends on the distance of the operator from the breaker panel. Refer to the table below to determine the correct wire size. The NOMINAL column is the ideal distance from the breaker panel to the operator for a given wire size.

WARNING!

AVOID ELECTROCUTION:

Do not route low voltage wires in the same conduit

as high voltage wires. Follow all local electrical

codes or the National Electric Code.

Page 7

B : PREPARING THE SITE

The distances shown in the MAXIMUM column should never be exceeded. For distances greater than 3200', it is recommended that your local utility be contacted to install a service feeder for the installation.

Wiring from external controls such as guard shack, telephone entry, keypad or card reader systems should be brought to the operator by a conduit separate from the 115 VAC electrical hookup. Low voltage control wires MUST NEVER be routed in the same conduit as A.C. power wires. ALWAYS CONSULT AND FOLLOW ALL LOCAL

ELECTRICAL CODES.

PLACING THE VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS

Proper placement of vehicle detector wire loops is critical if the loops are to provide satisfactory, extended service. The most important considerations are: 1) Proper wire type and, 2) Good, tight connections from the loop to the loop terminating connector. When a "Stand Alone" vehicle detector is used, the detection loop is connected to the wire harness on the detector itself. (See WIRING VEHICLE DETECTORS, Page 14.)

The RSX1000 provides for connecting the output of two loop systems:

1) A “reversing” loop that will prevent the gate from closing on a vehicle that has stopped in the path of the gate and 2) A “free exit” loop that will open the gate by detecting a vehicle which is inside the gated area and wishes to leave. If “free exit” detection is not desired, this loop will not be needed. Note the "reversing” loop is normally made up of two independent loop layouts connected to one detector. See Figure

Two different types of installations will usually be encountered: 1) If the driveway material is already in place, saw cuts will be needed to accommodate the loop wires.

WARNING!

RISK OF ENTRAPMENT VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS WILL NOT DETECT SMALLER VEHICLES SUCH AS MOTORCYCLES,

of the pavement. The loop should be placed 1.5 inches below the surface of the pavement and at least 2" above any reinforcing steel The lead in wires need not be in PVC, but must have at least six (6) twists per running foot.

For a saw-cut installation, observe the method recommended in Figure 9 for the corners. When installing a two-loop reversing system it is best to bring the twisted lead wires from each loop to the operator so that the loops may be properly phased. The saw cut must be to a depth of 1.5 inches, clean and with no sharp corners. After placing the wires, it is essential that the wires be held tightly in place by the foam backing and that no voids exist that can collect water which might freeze and push the loop wires out of the slot. The sealant used should match the paving material and should not be hard setting. The lead in wires must have at least six (6) twists per foot.

NO SPLICES ARE ALLOWED IN THE LOOP OR THE LEAD IN WIRE TO THE FIRST JUNCTION BOX Above ground splices may be used providing the wire is twisted, soldered and moisture sealed. For best long term results, do not use wire nuts anywhere in the loop system. For connections to the loop detector, gas tight crimp type terminals should be used, and soldered if possible.

2) For loops where the paving material will be installed after the loop is positioned, it is necessary that the loop wires be placed in Schedule 40 PVC pipe to maintain uniform loop spacing with respect to the surface

WARNING!

RISK OF ELECTROCUTION

DO NOT BEGIN THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

PROCEDURES UNTIL THE POWER IS TURNED OFF

AT THE CIRCUIT BREAKER

ELECTRICAL HOOKUP

The operator requires a 3-wire, 115 VAC electrical hook-up for proper operation. Ideally, the conduit containing the hook-up wires should exit the concrete pad under the operator. There is a 2” x 2-3/4” gap on either side of the operator pedestal for this purpose. Run flexible conduit from the point where the conduit exists the pad and attach it to the bottom of the junction box on the frame. Review Figure 7, page 6. If the hook-up exits the pad external to the operator, drill a small hole in the operator pedestal and use a conduit clamp to secure the conduit to the pedestal. Cut a small slot in the skirt around the base of the cover. This will allow the cover to fit down flush with the conduit in place.

Remove the junction box face plate. Using the wire nuts provided, attach the three lead wires to the electrical hookup wires in the following manner:

1. The BLACK wire attaches to the 115 VAC HOT wire.

2. The WHITE wire to the 115 VAC NEUTRAL wire.

3. The GREEN wire to the GROUND wire.

NOTE: The RSX1000 control board comes equipped with a built-in surge protection which MAY prevent damage to the controller board in the event of a nearby lightning strike or a surge in the power lines. For the surge protector to function, and as a general precaution, the operator must be properly grounded. The third wire for the ground must be installed .

the circuitry in the RSX1000, with respect to ground, to the levels that will damage the solid state circuitry. Lightning strikes generate enormous currents for very short periods of time. Unfortunately, the period of time is long enough to damage solid state components and many times, other components. The key to success is a very low resistance path from the surge protector to ground for these currents in addition to a surge protector that will act fast enough to protect the solid state circuitry. Several manufacturers offer suitable surge protectors.

CONTROL & ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT WIRING

IMPORTANT - remove power from the operator before attempting to connect an accessory device or control station.

NOTE: Before continuing review the PRE-INSTALLATION NOTES on page 3 and the GATE SYSTEM DESIGN/ INSTALLATION PARAMETERS on pages 4 and 5 with respect to the application and likelihood of pedestrian traffic.

THE MANUFACTURER ADVISES THAT AS THE RSX1000 OPERATOR IS A CLASS I VEHICULAR GATE OPERATOR AND WHEN INSTALLED IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA WHERE THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD OF PEDESTRIANS IN THE AREA YOU MUST INSTALL PHOTOELECTRIC DEVICE(S), ELECTRIC GATE EDGE(S) OR OTHER DEVICE(S) TO PROTECT AGAINST ENTRAPMENT!

The manufacturer can provide either photoelectric device(s) or electric edge(s) depending on the application. Contact the factory and follow the installation instructions and warnings provided with the device.

ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING PROTECTION

For those areas where a high probability of ground lightning strikes exists (Florida, Georgia, etc.), additional lightning protection should be installed in the RSX1000. Although it may not be possible to protect against all strikes, additional protection will substantially reduce the occurrence of lightning damage. Allstar’s lightning data indicates that the most strikes enter the RSX1000 through the power lines. Effective protection requires that the surge current from the lightning strike be shunted to ground. This must be done without raising the potential of

NO ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED ABOVE THE POWER SWITCH HANDY BOX EXCEPT A SINGLE CONTACT RADIO RECEIVER!

If local electrical codes permit, use the operator's pedestal for mounting accessory components. Otherwise, install the accessory equipment in an appropriate electrical box.

The command inputs on the RSX1000 require a switch closure to COMMON of less than 100 OHMS resistance and for more than 100 milliseconds duration. To familiarize yourself with the input functions reference the Wiring Diagram on page 23 and the chart on Pages 19 and

BI-PARTING (MASTER/SLAVE) APPLICATION

Two RSX1000 units in a bi-parting situation (one wired right-hand and one wired left hand, see Figure 17, page 15) can be configured to operate in a synchronous manner two gate sections that make up a single gate. The units can be wired together to operate as one system, with one unit controlling the movement of both. Additionally, the installer can customize the installation of the external entrapment protection devices. These devices can be wired to the primary (controlling) operator or alternately to the individual units as the situation dictates or the end user requires.

When an external entrapment protection device is wired to the primary unit (such as would be recommended for a photoeye across the entire opening) both units will react to the detection of an obstruction, regardless of the location of the obstruction. An edge device (or similar) protecting an entrapment zone particular to say, the secondary unit, could be wired to that unit only and would react individually to the detection of an obstruction. Synchronous movement would resume once the obstruction is cleared and an open or close command is received by the primary operator.

This will prevent grounding loop problems which can occur when more than one COMMON or ground wire is attached between separate operators. All accessory equipment should be wired to the Primary operator.

To obtain Bi-Parting (Synchronous) operation (4 Steps):

1. Wire the Primary Operator Terminal #14 to Terminal #6 in the

Secondary Operator, see Figure 13 above.

2. Wire the Primary Operator Terminal #15 to Terminal #7 in the

Secondary Operator, see Figure 13 above.

3. Place the Master/Slave Jumper on the Primary Operator motor

control board to the primary position. See Figure 13a, below.

4. Place the Master/Slave Jumper on the Secondary Operator motor

control board to the secondary position. See Figure 13a, below.

WIRING VEHICLE DETECTORS

There are three connections that need to be made; 1) the AC power to the vehicle loop detector module, 2) the control connection (“Presence” or “Relay” output of the vehicle loop detector module) to the RSX1000, and 3) the connections to the actual loop. All these connections will be made at the vehicle loop detector modules (provided by others). Follow the wiring instructions provided by the vehicle detector manufacturer. Connect the actual loops to the vehicle loop detector modules as shown in Figure 14. If two reversing loops are used to detect vehicles in the path of the gate wire them in series as shown in Figure 14a.

Vehicle detectors may be ordered for 115 VAC or 24 VAC operation. Allstar recommends that a 115 VAC Vehicle Detector be used. The 115 VAC may be obtained from the electrical service to the RSX1000 operator .

WIRING A VEHICLE DETECTOR TO THE RSX1000

For a REVERSING LOOP connection of the vehicle loop detector module, the "relay" or "presence" output of the loop detector module will be connected to Terminal #11 (REV LOOP) of the RSX1000 and the COMMON wire will be connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON) of the RSX1000, see Figure 14. As long as a relay closure is present on these two lines, the RSX1000 will not allow the gate to close. If the gate is opening, the gate will continue to open. If the signal is removed before the Timer to Close times out, the gate will close after the Timer to Close has completed its cycle.

For a FREE EXIT loop connection of a vehicle loop detector module, the RELAY or PRESENCE output signal will be connected to Terminal #5 (FREE EXIT) and the RELAY COMMON signal connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON) of the RSX1000, see Figure

WIRING RADIO RECEIVERS

THREE TERMINAL RECEIVERS

If a three wire receiver is to be used, the #1 terminal of the receiver is normally COMMON to both the auxiliary transformer (power input) and the radio relay. Most radio manufacturers label this terminal as 24 VAC. Connect a wire from the #1 terminal of the radio receiver to terminal #1 on the operator. The #2 terminal of the radio receiver is normally the relay contact of the receiver. Connect a wire from this #2 terminal of the radio receiver to the #4 terminal (RADIO OPEN) or #3 terminal (ALTERNATE) of the RSX1000 control panel. The choice of Radio Open or Alternate is determinate on the function desired, review the Reference Chart on pages 12 and 13. The #3 terminal of the radio receiver is usually labeled RADIO POWER and is connected to 24 VAC. Connect to terminal #2 of the RSX1000 control panel.

FOUR WIRE RECEIVERS

Four wire receivers replace the "spade" terminals on the RECEIVER with 4 wires. These wires are typically color coded. The instructions with the receiver must be carefully followed to properly connect the receiver. For any 4 wire receiver, two of the wires will be for power input and two will be for the relay contacts. Connect the two wires for the power input to each side of the 24 VAC RSX1000 terminals #1 and #2. Connect one of the two wires for the relay to terminal #16 (COMMON) and the other wire to #4 terminal (RADIO OPEN) or #3 terminal (ALTERNATE) of the RSX1000 control panel. The choice of

WIRING A KEYPAD, CARD READER OR TELEPHONE ENTRY SYSTEM

These devices activate the RSX1000 by a relay contact closure within the device. Typically, two wires or terminals are provided by the device to operate the gate. Follow the manufacturers instructions on locating these connections. If one of the connections at the device is labeled as COMMON, then connect this to Terminal #16 of the RSX1000 control panel. Connect the other contact to Terminal #5 (FREE EXIT). If no identification of the connections is noted at the device, then the two wires may be connected to terminal #16 and Terminal #5 (FREE EXIT) in any order. See Figure 16 below.

Keypads, Card Readers and Telephone Entry Systems are typically located remotely from the RSX1000. The wiring used is low voltage CLASS 2. Be sure to run an independent conduit for this wiring from the entry device to the RSX1000. The wire size should be 16 or 18 AWG stranded wire for ease of handling.

the BLUE motor wire is on the capacitor terminal post with the RED wire from the high voltage wire harness. The high voltage wire harness is now configured for left-hand operation. Left-hand conversion is now complete.

Locate the limit switches as shown in Figure 19. As shipped from the factory the switches are wired for right hand operation (red/ white on the lower switch and yellow/white on the upper switch). To reconfigure the limit switches for left hand operation reroute the yellow wire to the lower switch and the red wire to the upper switch. The limit switches are now configured for left-hand operation.

MOUNTING THE LIMIT CAMS

Before turning on the main power, the limit cams must be mounted to the chain in their approximate positions. See Figures 19 and 20. Figure 19 illustrates a view of the RSX1000 Control Box/ Mechanical Unit that faces the gate which depicts the Output Drive Sprocket components.

Figure 20 shows how to install the Limit Cams to the chain. NOTE: IT IS

IMPORTANT TO INSTALL THE CAMS AROUND THE WHOLE LINK AS ILLUSTRATED AND WITH THE STUD/NUT IN THE PROPER ORIENTATION AS OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS.

110501A2

Manually push the gate all the way closed. Following the procedure shown in Figure 20, mount the Limit Cam on the chain link that was marked with chalk in the previous step, the link should now be parallel with the ground and approximately 4 to 5 feet from the end of the gate. The cam MUST BE mounted such

that the lobe is DOWN (TOWARD THE GROUND).

NOTE: IF RIGHT-HAND OPERATION (STANDARD) MOUNT THE CAM WITH THE STUD/NUT POINTING AT THE GATE, IF LEFT-HAND OPERATION MOUNT THE CAM WITH THE STUD/NUT POINTING AWAY FROM THE GATE.

As depicted in Figure 19 locate and mark with chalk the proper chain link (depending on Right-Hand or Left-Hand operation) for CLOSE Limit operation.

At this time recheck the Toggle Limit Switch ACTUATORS for proper positioning to accept the limit cams. See Figure 19.

Manually push the gate all the way open again. Following the procedure shown in Figure 20, mount the Limit Cam on the chain link that was marked with chalk in the previous step, the link should now be parallel with the ground and approximately 4 to 5 feet from the end of the gate. The cam MUST BE mounted such

that the lobe is DOWN (TOWARD THE GROUND).

NOTE: IF RIGHT-HAND OPERATION (STANDARD) MOUNT THE CAM WITH THE STUD/NUT POINTING AWAY FROM THE GATE, IF LEFT-HAND OPERATION MOUNT THE CAM WITH THE STUD/NUT POINTING AT THE GATE.

NOTE: ENSURE THAT WHEN THE CAMS ENTER THE LOWER IDLER SPROCKETS THEY ARE ORIENTED PROPERLY AS FOLLOWS: WHEN THE CAM ROUNDS THE INSIDE SPROCKET (CLOSEST TO THE PEDESTAL) ITS STUD/NUT SHOULD BE POINTING TOWARDS THE PEDESTAL, WHEN THE CAM ROUNDS THE OUTSIDE SPROCKET (FARTHEST FROM THE PEDESTAL) ITS STUD/NUT SHOULD BE POINTING AWAY FROM THE PEDESTAL.

The limit cams are now roughly adjusted. If the gate should stop short of fully opened or closed, or if it bangs against the end stops during operation, the limit cams can be fine-tuned after the operator is powered up. (See FINAL SETTING OF THE LIMIT CAMS, page 18)

WARNING!

Manually push the gate all the way open. As depicted in Figure 19 locate and mark with chalk the proper chain link (depending on Right-Hand or LeftHand operation) for OPEN Limit operation.

PRESETTING THE OBSTRUCTION DETECTION / SENSITIVITY

The operator is equipped with an obstruction detection circuit which will detect MOST obstructions in the gate's path. See Figure 21. The sensitivity can be independently adjusted for OPEN and CLOSE with the potentiometers on the controller board labeled, "OVERLOAD FORCE". Turning a potentiometer clockwise decreases the sensitivity and turning it counterclockwise increases the sensitivity.

FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

1. Use a voltmeter to assure the service voltage to the operator is 115 VAC. Connection to 220 VAC service is the most common cause of board failure in new installations and is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!

2. No accessory equipment is installed in the control box.

3. All wires attached to the 11 position terminal strips are well clear of the moving parts under the unit cover.

4. The junction box cover is securely fastened .

D: STARTING THE OPERATOR

Figure 21: Location of OL Force Adjustments

The RSX1000 is shipped from the factory with the potentiometers at their most sensitive setting. Turn the potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise to prevent the overload circuit from tripping due to the gate's inherent friction.

(See FINAL SETTING OF THE OBSTRUCTION DETECTION SENSITIVITY, Page 18)

TIMER TO CLOSE SETTING

The Timer to Close is controlled by the setting of the “AUTO CLOSE TIMER” potentiometer on the control board, see Figure 22. When the pot is adjusted fully counter-clockwise the Timer-To-Close is disabled. Turning the pot approximately 1/4 turn clockwise will enable the Timer To Close function with a delay of approximately 2 seconds between the gate reaching the full open position and automatically closing. To increase the time delay continue to turn the pot in the clockwise direction to a maximum delay of 60 seconds (one minute).

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT AUXILIARY ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES BE INSTALLED WHENEVER THE TIMER TO CLOSE OPTION IS ENABLED.

PRE POWER-ON CHECKLIST

The following checklist should be used before turning on power to the operator:

1. THE VOLTAGE TO POWER THE UNIT IS 115 VOLTS AC

2. The proper Left- or Right-hand Mode has been selected;

3. The Limit Cams have been mounted to the chain;

4. The Overload Sensitivity has been preset.

When the PRE POWER-ON CHECKLIST has been completed, turn on the main power switch located on the control panel next to the Control Wiring Terminal Strips, see Figure 11. Give the operator a push button input command with a jumper wire attached to terminal #16, COMMON, on the terminal strip and touched briefly to terminal #3, ALTERNATE to START the gate. If the gate was fully open, as left in the previous step "MOUNTING THE LIMIT CAMS" the gate will start in a close direction. If the gate was in any other position but fully open, the gate will start in the open direction.

Give the operator an ALTERNATE input command. The operator should stop if OPENING or CLOSING. A subsequent ALTERNATE input command will cause the gate to begin moving in the opposite direction. See BASIC OPERATIONAL GUIDE page 22.

Page 18

D: STARTING THE OPERATOR

FINAL SETTING OF THE LIMIT CHAIN CAMS

If the gate stops short of being fully open or closed or if it bangs against the end stops, turn off the main power and move the appropriate limit chain cam. Each whole link on the chain represents about 1" of gate travel. The cams should only have to be moved one or two whole links in either direction to fine tune the gate's limits of travel. When final adjustment has been completed, insure that the cam nuts are properly tightened. Review Figurez19 & 20.

WARNING!

RISK OF ENTRAPMENT.

THE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT MUST BE SET

MORE PRECISELY PRIOR TO COMPLETING

THE OPERATOR INSTALLATION

FINAL SETTING OF THE OPERATOR SENSITIVITY

The obstruction detection sensitivity was preset before turning on the main power to prevent the operator from "self-tripping" during testing. To set the OPEN sensitivity, start the gate in motion in the Open direction and turn the overload potentiometer counterclockwise until the gate stops and reverses. Then back the potentiometer off 10 degrees in the clockwise direction. Review Figure 21, Page 17.

Repeat for the Close sensitivity.

CAUTION: During this process the alarm will sound if the overload sensor is activated two sequential times before the gate reaches a limit (open or close). To reset the alarm sensor use constant pressure on a control button connected to the OPEN or CLOSE input and move the

gate to a fully open or closed position or turn off and restore the power to the operator.

Restart the gate and give the leading edge a firm blow with the heal of your palm. Don't stand directly in the gate's path while testing the obstruction sensitivity. The obstruction detection should respond immediately to the blow. The overload potentiometer must be adjusted to the most sensitive setting possible without causing "self-tripping" due to the gate's inherent friction or to variations in the track. Try readjusting the potentiometer several times by small increments, testing the gate in both directions of travel, until you are satisfied.

SMART™ Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer

The RSX1000 has a thermal cutoff switch to protect the motor and capacitor from sustaining damage. If the gate has been operated for an excessive number of consecutive cycles the thermal cutoff switch will open and the power will be turned off to the motor and control circuitry. After a cooling off period the thermal cutoff switch will automatically reset and the gate can be operated once again.

FINAL SETTING OF THE CLOSE TIMER

To alter the amount of time that the Close Timer will hold the gate open, adjust the timer potentiometer located on the control board. See Figure 22, page 17.

The Close Timer is adjustable from 2 to approximately 60 seconds. Turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the delay; turning it counterclockwise decreases the delay.

E: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE

To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s Gate Operator:

Thank you for choosing the RSX1000 gate operator product. We are confident you will have many years of use and satisfaction with your gate operator.

Our Gate Operator is part of your unique gate operating system, which may consist of a variety of components, including the gate, the gate tracks, posts, and electronic features. These components combined present certain risks and safety issues of which you, the end user, must be aware.

Each unique system presents a unique set of hazards which we cannot possibly address individually. These instructions will help you to identify the potential risks and safety issues your gate operator system presents, and guide you as you make your system as safe as possible for everyone who uses it.

Your first step is to consider the intended use of the gate system, who will be using the gate system, and in what manner the system is installed. You should have a clear understanding of how often the gate will be opened, who will be opening it, whether children and the general public will be near the gate system, and how close the gate system is to public property. Once you have answered these questions, you are ready to decide what safety measures must be taken to prevent injury.

ALL APPROPRIATE SAFETY FEATURES MUST BE

INCORPORATED INTO YOUR GATE SYSTEM.

To minimize the risk of entrapment in your gate system, install the following safety features:

• Electric gate edges

• Enclosed tracks

• Vertical guard posts

• Protective screen mesh

• Photoelectric sensors

• Instructional and precautionary signs

• Covers for exposed rollers

Each safety feature is a separate component in your gate system. Read and follow all instructions for each of the components of your unique system. Ensure that all instructions for mechanical components,

safety features of the RSX1000 Gate Operator System are available for everyone who will be using your gate system.

The two warning signs shipped with your Gate Operator (See Figure 4, Page 5 of this manual). They must be installed in prominent positions on both sides of your gate. Keep them clean and legible.

Read and follow the safety points on this and the following page which present the basic guidelines for the safest operation of your gate operator system.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS !

PRECAUTIONS FOR PEDESTRIAN TRAFFIC OR RESIDENTIAL AREAS

The internal operator overload sensor may not be adequate entrapment protection in all situations to prevent arm, leg, or hand injuries. Padded electric gate edges, roller guards, pneumatic gate edges, or photoelectric sensors are therefore necessary when automatic gates are used near pedestrian traffic. See the figure below.

Use of pedestrian walk gate is mandatory where there is nearby pedestrian traffic.

E: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION & SAFETY GUIDE

AVOID ENTRAPMENT: Stay away from the path of the gate

and all moving parts (gate leafs, etc.) at all times. Do not place

arms or legs through the gate. Keep clear of the pinch points identified in Figure 24 below. Install guards or other safety features to prevent access to pinch point areas. Install guards on open rollers. The force of the gate can cause serious personal injury or death.

NEVER ALLOW A CHILD TO OPERATE GATE

CONTROLS. Do not allow anyone to “ride” a gate, or play in

the area of a gate. Install and store all controls out of children’s reach. Do not stand near or on the gate. Gate may be activated without notice. Install a pedestrian gate in applications where pedestrians need access. This entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use a separate entrance.

KEEP GATE IN SIGHT: Never activate the gate unless it is in

sight. Install mounted controls in full view of the gate. Be sure the gate area is clear before activating the gate, and watch the gate and gate area as the gate is in motion. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE.

LOCATE MANUAL CONTROLS SAFELY: A manual

control such as a pushbutton or keyswitch must be included in your gate system design to be used if automatic controls such as radio controls or loop detectors do not function. Carefully consider the placement of the manual control: It must be out of reach of the gate so that no one pushing the button or inserting the card is in the path of the gate or moving parts; it must also be within sight of the gate so that the operator can watch the gate and gate area during operation. The recommended minimum

distance between the gate or fence and manual control accessory is 10 feet.

INSTALL SAFETY DEVICES: In residential applications or in

areas where pedestrians may be present, or if your gate closes automatically, be sure an electric edge(s) and/or a photoelectric sensor(s) has (have) been installed and is/are operating properly. These features are intended to detect pedestrian traffic and prevent injury or entrapment. Loop detectors may be installed to detect vehicular traffic and prevent vehicular damage.

MAINTAIN THE GATE AND GATE HARDWARE: A

damaged gate or one that cannot be easily opened and closed manually must be repaired before installing a gate operator. A poorly operating gate may cause the load sensing device of the operator to fail, causing a risk of entrapment. Never over tighten the clutch or load sensing device to compensate for a poorly operating slide gate. Correct all mechanical problems on the gate and gate hardware before installing the gate operator. Have a qaulified service technician make repairs to the gate and gate hardware.

MAINTAIN ALL COMPONENTS OF GATE SYSTEM:

Follow all maintenance instructions included with the gate, the gate operator, and the safety features and/or accessories that make up your gate gate operator system. Have a professional service technician perform any adjustments or maintenance to the components. Fully test all safety

features monthly. If faulty equipment is discovered or suspected, discontinue the use of the gate operator SYSTEM immediately, and have the equipment repaired or replaced. The gate must reverse on

contact with a rigid object or when an object activates the non-contact sensor. After adjusting the force or limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
