Obstruction Sensor (Primary Entrapment Protection)
!
IMPORTANT: The appropriate “ODS” setting is dependant upon the gate installation
and construction. Set this feature accordingly. Additional Safety equipment should
be used to reduce possible risk of injury or vehicle damage.
“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)
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.
3.
Sound the UL Alarm
4.
A STOP command must be provided
to disable the alarm and continue
operation.
! TECHNICAL TIP: The Status LED for the
“ODS” will indicate the following
when it has been triggered.
A.
Solid: Obstruction.
Detected a sudden or abrupt increase
in gate resistance.
B.
Flashing: Overload.

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.

Relays In General
APPENDIX (A)
NOTE:
controls. 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
Glossary of Terms

Terminal: Wire Connections.
2.
Input Terminal: On the Viking
control board, the terminal which is
labeled for a specific command (ReOpen, Exit, Radio, etc.). The N.O.

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.
