CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION

1. Decide the installation position of control box first, it is suggested to be installed near the gate and should be protected from possible damage. Be aware of the motor cable length before deciding the installation position.

2. Remove the cover by unscrewing the four screws on the cover. See Figure 1(1).

3. Use a screwdriver to puncture the holes beneath the bottom of the control box. See Figure 1(2).

4. Secure it on the wall. See Figure 1(3).

5. Wiring Connection: Prepare all the wires of the accessories beforehand and connect the wires to the gear motors and accessories on the PCB as shown in Figure 1(4). All of the wiring connections of the accessories are not requested to distinguish the positive (+) and the negative (-) polarity.

1). Flashing Light: Connect the two wires from the flashing light to the terminal L+ and L- on the PCB.

2). Electric Latch: Connect the two wires from the electric latch to the terminal Lo + and Lo- on the PCB.

3). Gate openers: Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the wires separately to the terminals on the PCB. Motor 1: Connect the motor wire (White +) to the terminals Mo1 +, and (Yellow -) to the Mo1-. Motor 2: Connect the motor wire (White +) to the terminals Mo2 +, and (Yellow -) to the Mo2 -.

Notes:

For gates opened outward, Motor 1: Connect the motor wire (Yellow -) to the terminals Mo1 +, and (White +) to the terminals Mo1-. Motor 2: Connect the motor wire (Yellow -) to the terminals Mo2 +, and (White +) to the terminals Mo2 -.

4). Photocells: See Figure 1(4) (A) installed one set Photocell to FO1, SW3 setting as below:

! CAUTION: Before proceeding to system learning, the transmitter memorizing process has to be completed.

! Beware: The system learning process for single gate takes more than dual gate for around 1 min, wait for the gate to complete the learning process.

2.4 TRANSMITTER MEMORIZING PROCESS

Press “RF-learn” button for 2 seconds, and the Blue LED is on; then press the transmitter (A) button;

the Blue LED will blink twice and then be off. The system learning is complete.

2.6 GATE OPERATION

Press the button “A” on the transmitter for dual-gate operation.

Press the button “B” on the transmitter for single-gate operation in either single-gate or dual-gate installation.

2.7 GATE-MOVING LOGIC

(A) In gate-opening phase: The gates stop if the transmitter/push button/key selector is activated, and close when the transmitter/push button/key selector is reactivated. (B) In gate-closing phase: The gates stop if the transmitter/push button/key selector is activated, and open when the transmitter/push button/key selector is reactivated. (C) In gate-opening or gate-closing phase: For safety purpose, the gates stop if encountering obstacles.

Overheated Back-up Batteries The gate doesn’t move when pressing the button of the transmitter

The gate only moves a little distance when pressing the button of the transmitter. The transmitting distance is too short

The gear motors run very slowly The Flashing light does not work The leaves shall be closed instead of opening

The leaves suddenly stop during moving

The leaves does not move or only move toward one direction

The master gate closes to the end first and the slave gate stops, the flashing light blinks fast for five seconds.

The gear motors does not run and the relay is noisy when operating the gate opening and closing

Check the wiring connection of the batteries.

1. Check if LED3 or 4 is “ON”.

2. Check if the voltage of the batteries is below 22V.

3. Check if LED1 is “ON”.

4. Make sure all the wiring connections are firmly connected to the terminals on the PCB.

5. Make sure the fuse is workable. Make sure the wiring connection of the hall sensor is firm.

Make sure the connecting terminals of the Antenna is firm. Check the dip switch setting of the speed adjustment. Check if the wiring connection of the flashing light is correct. Change the polarity connection of the positive (+) with the negative (-) of the gear motors.

1. Check if the “RESET” socket is activated.

2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm.

3. Make sure the hall sensor wiring connection is firm.

4. The GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB must be short-circuited if no photocells installed.

5. Make sure the fuse is workable.

1. Check if the “RESET” socket is activated.

2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm.

3. Make sure the hall sensor wiring connection is firm.

4. The GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB must be short-circuited if no photocells installed. Cut off the AC input power and the output of the batteries. Release the master gate and slave gate manually, then open the master to the end and close the slave gate to the end by hand, then power the whole unit by connecting the AC and battery terminals. Check if the fuse is burned.

3. TROUBLE SHOOTING

CONTROL BOX

The safety photocells are security devices for control automatic gates. Consist of one transmitter and one receiver based in waterproof covers; it is triggered while breaking the path of the beams.

INSTALLATION:

Wire Connection of PH-2 Photocells

TX: Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the transmitter with the terminals G and +12V on the PC170 PCB.

RX: Connect terminals 1, 2 and 4 on the receiver with the terminals G, FO+ and FO1 on the PC170.

And use an extra wire to connect terminals 2 and 5 on the receiver as a bridge.
