6 - ACCESSORY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS
GATE OPERATOR ACCESSORY INPUTS:
Auxiliary Inputs 1 (16) and 2 (18): These digital inputs may be connected
to the digital outputs of accessories and programmed to activate or contr
ol
the gate operator in a number of different modes. Shorting the pins thr
ough a
dry contact activates the pr
ogrammed settings for these inputs. These inputs
are programmed in the “FUNCTION Auxiliary I/O” menu.
SAFETY LOOP Input:
(22) Dry contact input that can be pr
ogrammed for an
inductive safety loop or photo-eye detector. Shorting pin 22 to GND r
everses
a closing gate to the full open position. The opened gate is held opened for
as long as the LOOP input is active.
SHADOW (LOOP 1) Input:
(24) Dry contact input that can be pr
ogrammed
for an inductive safety loop or photo-eye detector
. Shorting the LOOP 1 input
(24) to GND maintains an OPEN gate fully open and a CLOSED gate fully
closed until deactivated.
Setting the LOOP1 input to “Photo Mode” causes the moving gate to stop,
then r
eopens the gate when the LOOP1 input is deactivated.
ENTRAPMENT (LOOP 2) Input:
(26) Dry contact input that can be
programmed for an inductive safety loop or photo-eye detector
. Shorting the
LOOP2 input (26) to GND while the gate is opening cause the gate to close
to the fully closed position. This loop input is intended for use with safety
sensors to pr
event entrapment between the opening gate and an adjacent
wall or structure.
Edge Input:
measure 8200ohms. When the input is activated it stops the gate regar
dless
of direction of travel, momentarily reverses it then stops.
Exit Input:
(30) Dry contact input for a vehicle exit sensor. Shorting this
input to GND opens gate fr
om the closed position and holds gate open with
maintained input or reverses gate if closing.
Fir
e Input:
the gate and holds the gate open until the contr
ol switch is deactivated. This
input is “hold to run”. Auto-close is disabled when this input is activated. Also
clears hard shutdown.
GUARD ST
ATION
Guard Station Open: (34) Dry contact input for a guar
d station open switch.
Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND opens the gate to the full open
position with the subsequent auto-close feature enabled.
Guar
d Station Stop: (35) Dry contact input (Normally Closed) for a guard
station stop switch. Momentarily opening this input stops the opening gate at
its current position. While this input is activated, all other inputs are disabled
and ar
e not functional.
Guard Station Close: (36) Dry contact input for a guar
d station close
switch. Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND closes the gate (master
and slave).
RADIO
Radio Open: (39) Dry contact input for an accessory radio open switch.
Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND opens the gate to the full open
position with the subsequent auto-close feature enabled.
Radio Close: (40) Dry contact input for an accessory radio close switch.
Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND closes the gate.
Radio Input:
Open/Close: (39 and 40) If you tie open and close together the
unit will operate as a Step by Step command each time the input is shorted
to GND, it will either OPEN, STOP or CLOSE.
FIGURE 6 -1 BOARD OUTPUTS
GATE OPERATOR ACCESSORY OUTPUTS:

• Disconnect power to the gate operator by manually opening its dedicated
circuit breaker before making any mechanical or electrical adjustments.
• Use a 20 Amp dedicated circuit breaker for each installed gate operator.
• Open dedicated circuit breaker supplying power to this gate operator
installation of this gate operator.
•
• Run individual circuits in separate U.L. listed conduits. Do not combine
high voltage (120VA
C) power wiring and low voltage (+12VDC to +24VDC)
control wiring in the same conduits.
• Use the information in table 1 to determine high voltage wire size
requirements. The distance shown in the chart is measured in feet from the
operator to the power source. If power wiring is greater than the maximum
distance shown, it is recommended that a service feeder be installed.
When large gauge wire is used, a separate junction box must be installed
for the operator connection. The wire table is based on stranded copper
wire. Wire run calculations are based on a 110 VAC power source with a
3% voltage drop on the power line, plus an additional 10% reduction in
distance to allow for other losses in the system.
The gate operator system should be grounded through the earth ground
in the AC mains wiring system (GREEN WIRE). This ground connection will
prevent dangerous currents from appearing on the metal control box, the
actuator, or the gate itself.
DO NOT WIRE AC MAINS POWER TO THE METAL CONTROL BOX
