IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

! WARNING! Not Following these instructions may cause severe injury or death.

Monitored Entrapment Protection Requirements

IMPORTANT: MONITORED PROTECTION MUST BE INSTALLED

•

REQUIRED BY UL 325, an approved MONITORED entrapment protection sensor is REQUIRED to be installed in all areas accessible to potential entrapment and pinch points.

•

For a horizontal swing gate operator, at least one Monitored External Entrapment Sensor is required in each direction of travel. Except, if there is no entrapment zone in one direction of travel, it is not required to have a Monitored Entrapment sensor for that direction of travel.

! If there is a possible entrapment zone in the open direction, an external sensor MUST be

connected to the “UL” input or the installation will not comply with UL 325.

! An external sensor connected to the “ReOpen” input terminal will protect against

entrapment ONLY in the closing direction.

•

The installed sensor MUST be “10K Resistor Based”.

•

You may connect up to FOUR monitored sensors, wired in parallel, to either the “UL” and/or “ReOpen” terminals, for a total of 8 monitored sensors.

•

Failure to install the required monitored entrapment protection sensor(s) may render the gate operator INOPERABLE. The gate can be moved manually. Refer to page 11.

•

Consult the installation manual of the sensor for detailed information about the usage, installation and maintenance.

•

Use only UL Recognized Component Edge Sensors and Photoelectric Sensors. Refer to pg 7.

SWING GATE ENTRAPMENT ZONE – Locations between a moving gate or moving, exposed

operator components and a counter opposing edge or surface where entrapment is possible up to 1.8 m (6 ft) above grade. Such locations occur if during any point in travel:

a.

The gap between the bottom of a moving gate and the ground is greater than 101.6 mm (4 in) and less than 406 mm (16 in); or

b.

The distance between the center line of the pivot and the end of the wall, pillar, or column to which it is mounted when in the open or closed position exceeds 101.6 mm (4 in). Any other gap between a moving gate and fixed counter opposing edges or surfaces or other fixed objects is less than 406 mm (16 in) (examples are walls, curbs, berms or other immovable objects).

Obstruction Detection Sensor (ODS)

!

IMPORTANT: The appropriate “ODS” setting is dependant upon the gate installation and con-

struction. Set this feature accordingly. Additional Safety equipment should be used to reduce possible risk of injury or vehicle damage.

When the Obstruction Sensor detects an obstruction it will:

1.

Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it momentarily.

2.

Bring the gate to a resting position.

3.

Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the Gate Operator receives a new command.

If second obstruction is detected before the gate reaches either limit it will:

1.

Stop the gate’s movement.

2.

Disable the Gate Operator.

“ODS” Obstruction Detection Sensor

The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions in the path of the traveling gate. The dial sets the amount of force required to activate the operators inherent obstruction detection.

Setting the dial to “0” will require the least amount of force to activate;

Setting the dial to “100” will require the maximum amount of force to activate.

UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to go off after two consecutive entrapment events sensed by the Inherent Entrapment Protection of the Gate Operator.

The audio alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until a Stop command or the “Alarm Reset” switch has been actuated. (refer to page 12)

3.

Sound the UL Alarm

4.

A STOP command must be provided to disable the alarm and continue operation.

Guidelines for Loop Installation

1.

Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.

2.

Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide.

3.

Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.

4.

Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.

5.

Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.

6.

Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.

! IMPORTANT! Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the

vehicular loop detector.

Consult the manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector and/or loop wire.

• Gate size

• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire

• Distance of the loop sensor wire to the gate at either at the open or close position

Relays In General

NOTE:

These items can be purchases from your dealer or distributor.

In General

In regards to the Viking control board, all external safety devices and access controls contain, and are, simple relays that provide an input to the Viking control board when the device is activated.

When these devices are activated, their internal relays create a contact, or short, between the “C” and “N.O.” terminals. This contact is what provides the command to the Viking control board.

! TECHNICAL TIP: Viking uses the Normally

Open “N.O.” contact from the device, excluding “fail-safe” type photo beams. In such instances, the Normally Closed “N.C.” will be used instead.

Viking Access Systems does not provide the external safety devices and access controls.

Glossary of Terms

1.

Terminal: Wire Connections.

2.

Input Terminal: On the Viking control

board, the terminal which is labeled for a specific command (Re-Open, Exit, Radio, etc .). The N.O. contact from the access control device is to be connected to the Input Terminal.

3.

Terminal Block: On the Viking control

board, a removable block containing multiple terminals.

4.

Relay: The component of an access

control or safety device that provides an input or command to the Viking control board.

5.

“C” Relay Common Terminal: This is

the relay terminal that makes contact (a short) to the N.O. terminal when the device is activated. Always wire this relay

terminal to any “GND” terminal at the control board.

6.
