Before installing the gate operator , make sure the gate’s slide
is free and level throughout the entire opening distance. If the
gate does not seem to operate properly , it may affect the op­erator performance or greatly shorten the life of the unit. The
gate should be designed so that airflow through the fabric is
ample to prevent wind resistance and drag.

1. Read the yellow “Safety Instructions” brochure enclosed
with the packet of information. If you do not have one,
please call OSCO at 1-800-333-1717 to request one. Read
and follow all instructions.

2. All electrical connections to the power supply must be
made by a licensed electrician and must observe all
national and local electrical codes.

3. A separate power-disconnect switch should be located
near the operator so that primary power can be turned off
when necessary .

4. Install the enclosed warning signs on both sides of the
gate. Each sign must be plainly visible from the side of
the gate on which they are mounted.

Y ou’ll find the complete electrical circuit print inside the operator cover . The power supply must be ample and not taken from an
overloaded line, as faulty operation will result. The supply must be of correct voltage and phase. For proper wire gauge, refer to
“Wiring Specifications” on Page 32.

Proper thermal protection is supplied with the operator. The motor contains a thermal overload protector (single phase) to protect
from overheating the motor due to overload or high-frequency operation.

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTLIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTLIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

(For Right Hand Operation, Left Hand Opposite)

Refer to the photo on page 7 when following these instructions.

Adjust the limit nuts by depressing the detent plate and turning the nuts in the desired direction of travel. To allow for additional
travel in the open direction, for instance, rotate the open limit nut so that it moves to the left on the shaft. To allow for greater
travel in the close direction, rotate the close limit nut so that it moves to the right on the shaft.

Special Notes for Setting Speeds using LSO-2 & LSC-2:

Limit switches LSO-2 and LSC-2 control when the operator accelerates to maximum speed and decelerates to minimum speed.
It is recommended that LSO-2 and LSC-2 are adjusted first* so the gate slows to near stop before hitting LSO-1 or LSC-1 as
these will apply the brake upon activation.

* These are adjusted by slightly loosening the two screws which hold them in place and sliding toward or away from the center
of the limit box. Care must be taken not to adjust too close to the center as the limit nut may travel past the switch and start
accelerating at the end of the cycle.

Before adjusting the torque limiter, make sure the gate is in good working condition. One person should be able to move the gate
by hand. Be certain the gate moves freely and without binding throughout its entire travel.

The torque limiter is set light at the factory . It must be adjusted during inst allation and checked on a regular basis.

NOTE:The torque limiter should be set tight enough so that when the operator starts the torque limiter does not slip, but loose

enough to slip if the gate is obstructed.

TURN OFF POWER TO THE

OPERA TOR BEFORE

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS!

1. Loosen the set screw on the the adjustment nut.

2. To increase the output, turn the adjustment nut clock­wise one flat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired output is
obtained.

WARNING: Do not overtighten.The torque limiter must

slip if the gate is obstructed.

T o reduce the output, turn the adjustment nut counter­clockwise one fIat, or 1/6 turn, at a time until desired
output is obtained.

NOTE: A properly adjusted torque limiter will not slip

during normal operation.

3. Retighten the set screw on the adjustment nut.

CHAIN SUPPORTSCHAIN SUPPORTS

CHAIN SUPPORTS

CHAIN SUPPORTSCHAIN SUPPORTS

When necessary, due to the length of the gate and chain, chain supports should be added to the gate at equally spaced
distances to allow the chain to sag as little as possible. A bolt located one inch below the chain line should be adequate.

OSCO gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under normal operating conditions, will require
only minimal maintenance.

To ensure that your unit is ready for operation at all times — and to preclude serious damage or failure — inspect the unit
systematically . Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.

LUBRICATIONLUBRICATION

BEARINGS. Pillow block bearings are equipped with fittings and should be lubricated twice each year.
MOTOR. Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after several years of

operation, bearings should be replaced.
DRIVE CHAIN AND SPROCKET. The main drive chain and sprockets should be inspected, cleaned, and lightly oiled every six

months. Do not oil chains inside the operator.

Auto Close Timer Adjustment: This 270-degree adjustable potentiometer will signal the operator to close automatically,

provided no open, reversing or obstruction signals are present from the fully-open position. This timer is adjustable from 0 to 124
seconds. This feature is turned on or off using dip switch #1.

Maximum Run Timer Adjustment: This 270-degree adjustable potentiometer will signal the operator to stop running once it
counts down, unless a limit switch is reached or an input is received first. Each time the motor starts, this timer will begin
counting. This timer is adjustable from 15 to 100 seconds. If the timer expires, the unit locks out and the emergency alarm
sounds.

Open Direction Current Sense Adjustment: This multiturn potentiometer is used to calibrate the built-in current sensing
feature for detection of obstructions while running in the open direction.

Close Direction Current Sense Adjustment: This multiturn potentiometer is used to calibrate the built-in current sensing
feature for detection of obstructions while running in the closed direction.

Master/Slave Connection Block: This terminal block is used in conjunction with two operators to configure two gates to open
and close together.

Dip Switches:

# 1 This switch turns the auto close timer off/on.
# 2 This switch is used in conjunction with alarms and flashing lights that may be added to the operator. When the switch is

in the ON position, these devices will start approximately two seconds prior to the operator starting. In the OFF position,
the devices will only work while the operator is running.

# 3 This switch is used in conjunction with single-button controls and radio receivers. In the ON position, successive inputs

will cause signals in the order of OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP. In the OFF position, inputs will cause an OPEN signal
unless the gate is fully open, in which case it will signal CLOSE.

#4 This switch determines right-hand vs. left-hand behavior . When looking from inside the protected area toward the gate, the

side of the drive the operator is on determines its hand of operation. In the OFF position, the operator is set for right-hand.
# 5 When turned ON, this switch will allow a one-second delay for solenoid locks to unlock before the motor starts.
# 6 In the ON position the reverse delay is three (3) seconds. In the OFF position the reverse delay is one and a half (1 1/2)

seconds.
# 7 Not used at this time.
# 8 This switch is used to set Master/Slave configuration. Operators which are stand-alone or master units should be set to

OFF, while only slave units should have this switch set to ON.

This is typically used with a loop and loop detector to keep a large swing gate open

while vehicular traffic is passing through.

Depending on dip switch #2, these devices will either begin three seconds before

the operator starts, or only while the motor is running. (See page 10 for details.)

Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the side of the gate operator.

Do not adjust the circuit board current sensing feature too high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the
gate from falsely triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to operate. Do not defeat the
purpose of this function!

CURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTSCURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTS

CURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTS

CURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTSCURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTS

Because gates vary in construction and may have different force requirements in the open and close directions to move, the
OSCO control board has separate Multi-turn potentiometers for adjusting in both directions independently. The adjustment
should be set light enough to maintain minimal force (50-75 lbs.) should an obstruction occur , but high enough to keep the gate
moving under normal conditions without interruption.

Prior to adjusting the operator current sensing functions, make sure the gate moves freely in both directions. A badly aligned or
poorly maintained gate may cause false triggering of the current sensor . Refer to page 10 when following the instructions below.
A factory adjustment tool has been supplied to make these adjustments easier . This tool has been taped to the control box for
your convenience.

CLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENTCLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT

CLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT

CLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENTCLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT

When the gate operator leaves the factory, it has been preset for a relatively light gate function and will require additional
adjustment. Begin by starting the gate going closed. If the operator stops and reverses, turn the close direction potentiometer
(see page 10) one turn higher , press the STOP button, and try again. Repeat this process until the gate no longer causes false
tripping of the current sensor . Note that each time the gate operator reverses, the STOP button must be pressed. Next, turn the
close direction potentiometer lower slowly while the operator is running the gate closed until the gate operator stops and
reverses again. From this point, turn the close direction potentiometer higher by 1 1/2 turns for all 1 15 V olt AC and 24 V olt DC
operators, and by 3/4 of a turn higher for all 230 Volt AC operators. Additional fine adjustment by 1/4 turns may be necessary to
eliminate false triggering.

Repeat the same process with the open direction potentiometer while running the gate in the open direction. Once this is done,
run the gate through several complete cycles and make sure the gate does not false trip in either direction.

INSTALLATION OF MASTER/SLAVE APPLICATIONSINSTALLATION OF MASTER/SLAVE APPLICATIONS

When setting up Master/Slave gate operators, it is best to make adjustments and run each operator individually. To do this,
simply:

a. Set Dip Switch #4 to proper hand of operation (right-hand or left-hand)
b. Set Dip Switch #8 as Master (off)

Run each operator making current sensing adjustments as necessary , as indicated on the Control Board Adjustments page of
this installation guide. When both operators have been adjusted, turn power off, then turn on Dip Switch #8 in the operator
chosen as the Slave.

The timer to close and radio/single button behavior are set in the Master operator.
The following selections are set individually:

SURGE PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONSSURGE PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONS

SURGE PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONS

SURGE PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONSSURGE PROTECTOR INSTRUCTIONS

The optional surge protector should be connected
to any inputs that have an accessory connected to
it. This includes the 3-button station, so it must be
connected to 1, 2A and 3 in all cases. The green
wire connected to ground, which is electrically the
same as terminal 4. The red wires connect to
terminals 2A and 24VDC+. This will cause the
2 amp fuse to blow if this section of the module
becomes shorted. With any of the other inputs
connected to the surge protector, if their protection
line becomes shorted due to a surge over the rating
of the module, the corresponding LED on the main
board will remain lit, causing a constant signal to
the controller. If this is found, please replace the
entire surge protector with a new unit.

Do not simply unhook the shorted wire, as this
removes the protection from the circuit that was
saved by the protector in the first place!

1. Select from the chart at the bottom of this page corresponding to the

model, voltage and horsepower rating of your operator.

2. The distance shown on the chart is measured in feet from the opera-

tor to the power source. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM DIS-
TANCE. These calculations have been based on standard 115V and
230V supplies with a 10% drop allowable. If your supply is under the
standard rating, the runs listed may be longer than what your appli­cation will handle, and you should not run wire too near the upper
end of the chart for the gauge of wire you are using.

3. When large-gauge wire is used, a separate junction box (not sup-

plied) may be needed for the operator power connection.

4. All control devices are now 24VDC, which can be run considerable

distances. 24VAC is available for other devices, such as loop detec­tors and photo eyes.

5. Wire run calculations are based on the National Electrical Code, Ar-

ticle 430 and have been carefully determined based on motor inrush,
brake solenoids, and operator requirements.

USE COPPER WIRE ONLY!

MODEL VS-GSLG – SINGLE PHASEMODEL VS-GSLG – SINGLE PHASE

MODEL VS-GSLG – SINGLE PHASEMODEL VS-GSLG – SINGLE PHASE

6. Connect power in accordance with local codes. The green ground

wire must be properly connected.

7. Wire insulation must be suitable to the application.

8. Control wiring must be run in a separate conduit from power wiring.
Running them together may cause interference and faulty signals in
some accessories.

9. Electrical outlets are supplied in all 115VAC models for convenience
with occasional use or low power consumption devices only. If you
choose to run dedicated equipment from these devices, it will de­crease the distance for maximum run and the charts will no longer be
accurate.

mechanical action may form vapours, mists or fumes which may be irritating to the eyes, nose, throat and
lungs. Avoid breathing vapours or mists.
EYE CONTACT: Slightly irritating, but will not injure eye tissue.
SKIN CONTACT : Low toxicity . Frequent or prolonged contact may irrit ate the skin.
INGESTION: Low toxicity.
ACUTE TOXICITY DA T A: Based on animal testing data from similar materials and product s, the acute
toxicity of this product is expected to be:
Oral: LD50 > 5000 mg/kg (rat)
Dermal: LD50 > 3160 mg/kg (rabbit)
Inhalation: LC50 > 5000 mg/m3 (rat)
OCCUPA TIONAL EXPOSURE LIMIT :
ACGIH recommends: For oil mists, 5 mg/m3. Local regulated limits may vary.

5. FIRST AID MEASURES

INHALATION: V apour pressure of this material is low and as such inhalation under normal conditions is
usually not a problem. If overexposed to oil mist, remove from further exposure. Administer artificial respi­ration if breathing has stopped. Keep at rest. Call for prompt medical attention.
EYE CONTACT : Flush eyes with large amount s of water until irritation subsides. If irritation persists, get
medical attention.
SKIN CONTACT : Flush with large amount s of water. Use soap if available. Remove severely contaminated
clothing (including shoes) and launder before reuse. If irritation persists, seek medical attention.
INGESTION: If swallowed, DO NOT induce vomiting. Keep at rest. Get prompt medical attention.

6. PREVENTIVE AND CORRECTIVE MEASURES

PERSONAL PROTECTION: The selection of personal protective equipment varies, depending upon con­ditions of use. In open systems where contact is likely, wear safety goggles, chemical-resist ant overalls, and
chemically impervious gloves. Where only incidental contact is likely , wear safety glasses with side shields.
No other special precautions are necessary provided skin/eye contact is avoided. Where concentrations in
air may exceed the occupational exposure limits given in Section 4 and where engineering, work practices
or other means of exposure reduction are not adequate, approved respirators may be necessary to prevent
overexposure by inhalation.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: The use of local exhaust ventilation is recommended to control emissions
near the source. Laboratory samples should be handled in a fumehood. Provide mechanical ventilation of
confined spaces.

PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCEPREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT!

• Always disconnect power from operator before servicing.

• Keep clear of gate during operation.

GENERAL:

OSCO gate operators are designed for many years of trouble-free operation and, under recommended operating conditions, will
require only minimal maintenance. T o ensure that your unit is ready for operation at all times--and to preclude serious damage
or failure--inspect the unit systematically . Proper adjustments and lubrication should be made as recommended.

LUBRICATION :
Bearings. For models which have pillow block style bearings with greaseable fittings, lubricate at least twice a year with a

lithium complex based, petroleum oil NLGI 2 rated grease. Oilite and precision sealed bearings do not require additional
lubrication.

Motor. Motors have sealed ball bearings and do not require further lubrication. If bearing noise develops after several years of
operation, bearings should be replaced by a motor repair company , or the motor should be replaced if necessary .

Drive Chain and Sprocket (slide gate models only). The main drive chain and sprockets should be inspected for wear,
cleaned, and wiped down with a lightly oiled rag every six months.

Swing Gate Arm (swing gate models only). Check all bolts for proper tension and tighten if necessary. Make sure the arm
folds overextends itself slightly against the overtravel stop to reduce the chance that the gate can be backdriven open. Adjust the
close limit slightly if additional travel is required. Lightly lubricate all pivot points with a light machine oil.

Barrier Gate Arm (barrier gate models only). Check all bolts for proper tension and tighten if necessary . If the arm has been
warped or damaged, replace as necessary .

ADDITIONAL SIX MONTH PREVENT ATIVE MAINTENANCE:

1. For operators which utilize torque limiting clutches, check
for proper tightness. If there appears to be dust from wear
on the pads, inspect the pads and replace if necessary . If
the clutch cannot be adjusted tightly enough to move the
gate without slipping, the pads must be replaced.

2. For operators with V-belts, inspect for wear and replace
as necessary. Check for proper tension and adjust if re­quired. Check all pulley setscrews for tightness and tighten
if necessary .

3. For operators with internal chain drives, inspect chain and
sprockets for wear and replace if necessary. Check for
proper tension and alignment, and adjust if required. Check
all hub sprocket setscrews and tighten if required.

4. Check limit switches and limit actuators (cams, limit nuts,
etc.) for wear and replace as required. In rotary limit switch
assemblies, wipe the limit shaft clean and apply a light
coating of dry lubricant.

5. For operators with magnetic brakes, check for proper ad­justment. Brake disc must run free when the brake is en­gaged. For brake assemblies other than C-face style, the
brake should be adjusted so that the solenoid plunger throw
is between 3/8” to 1/2”. Too much throw will damage the
solenoid. If the solenoid emits a loud buzzing sound

when the motor is run, the brake must be adjusted.

6. In operators which have a disconnect handle, inspect dis­connect handle for proper function and lubricate if neces­sary . Use a lithium based grease on all moving parts.

7. Inspect all nuts and bolts for proper tightness and tighten
as necessary .

8. Check all reversing devices for proper function. Inspect all
contact edges for wear and replace if required. Check photo­eyes for proper alignment and function.

9. Check current sensing for proper adjustment when finished
with inspection and maintenance.

10.Inspect the installation area. Are all the warning signs in­tact and visible? If they are missing or need replaced, con­tact OSCO. Be sure there are no control stations mounted
within reach of the gate. Review safety literature with the
customer and advise them to remove any such stations
found.

For slide and swing gate operators, you must inspect
the gate for proper operation. The gate should move
easily without binding through its entire travel. If the
gate does bind, adjust or fix as required. Failure to
keep the gate in good working condition will have
adverse effects on the operator .
