Tips for proper ground installation

A good ground in a gate operator installation will minimize or prevent damage to the operator cause by natural events such as lightning strikes.

The following will provide a guideline for proper grounding:

1. Use a ground rod to provide a ground reference.

2. Consult your city code and be aware of under-ground services in the site of the gate operator to prevent inconveniences.

3. Use always a single bonding point for grounding.

4. All ground wires must be as short and as thick as possible.

5. Prevent unnecessary turns or loops in all ground wires.

Caution – Do not connect the power harness to the board until the installation is ready for verification.

Continuously Wind Wire in Loop Slot for the Required Number of Loops (2 Loops Shown)

Guidelines for Vehicular Loop Detector 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 installation manual and the manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector).

• Gate size,

• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire;

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

When connecting the Radio Receiver carefully verify the proper connections.

The maximum voltage that the control board provides for external accessories is the maximum voltage of the battery, which is about 28 volts.

In the event of an electrical short the board will protect itself by shutting down and will remain shut down until the short is corrected.

The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can control the gate:

Open-Stop-Close

1. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer OFF (see page 26):

Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follow: a) First command opens the gate, b) Second command stops the gate and c) Third command closes the gate d) Any subsequent commands will continue

in the same order to control the gate.

This type of configuration is not recommended for a commercial installations.

Open Only

2. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open Timer ON (see page 26):

Each command of the radio transmitter is ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND to the gate.

The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions in the path of the traveling gate. The Trim Pot for the Obstruction Sensor adjusts the sensitivity level that triggers the Sensor.

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.

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

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

1. Stop the gate’s movement.

2. Bring the gate to a resting position.

3. Disable the Gate Operator.

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 the “Stop” Button is pressed (see page 8 for remote installation of a “Stop” Button).
