SYNCHRONOUS OPERATION (MASTER/SLAVE)
Two RS1000 units in a bi-parting situation (one wired right-hand and
one wired left hand, see above) can be configured to operate in a
synchronous manner. The units can be wired together to operate as one
system, with one unit controlling the movement of both. Additionally,
the installer can customize the installation of the external entrapment
protection devices. These devices can be wired to the primary
(controlling) operator or alternately to the individual units as the
situation dictates or the end user requires.
When an external entrapment protection device is wired to the primary
unit (such as would be recommended for a photoeye across the entire
opening) both units will react to the detection of an obstruction,
regardless of the location of the obstruction. An edge device (or
similar) protecting an entrapment zone
particular to the secondary unit could be
wired to that unit only and would react
individually to the detection of an
obstruction. Synchronous movement
would resume once the obstruction is
cleared and an open or close command
is received by the primary operator.
To obtain synchronous operation (4
Steps):
1. Wire the Primary Operator Terminal
#14 to Terminal #6 in the Secondary
Operator.
2. Wire the Primary Operator Terminal
#15 to Terminal #7 in the Secondary
Operator.
3. Place the Master/Slave Jumper on the
Primary Operator motor control board to
the primary position. See Figure 19, Page 16.
4. Place the Master/Slave Jumper on the Secondary Operator motor
control board to the secondary position. See Figure 19, Page 16.
MOUNTING THE LIMIT CAMS
Before turning on the main power, the limit cams must be mounted
to the chain in their approximate positions. See Figures 16 and 17.
Figure 16 illustrates a view of the RS1000 Control Box/
Mechanical Unit that faces the gate which depicts the Output Drive
Sprocket components.
Figure 17 shows how to install the Limit Cams to the chain.
NOTE: IT IS IMPORTANT TO INSTALL THE CAMS
AROUND THE WHOLE LINK AS ILLUSTRATED AND
WITH THE STUD/NUT IN THE PROPER ORIENTATION
AS OUTLINED IN THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS.
Manually push the gate all the way open. As depicted in Figure 17
locate and mark with chalk the proper chain link (depending on
Right-Hand or Left-Hand operation) for OPEN Limit
operation.
Manually push the gate all the way closed. Following
the procedure shown in Figure 17, mount the Limit
Cam on the chain link that was marked with chalk in
the previous step, the link should now be parallel with
the ground and approximately 4 to 5 feet from the end
of the gate. The cam MUST BE mounted such that
the lobe is DOWN (TOWARD THE GROUND).
NOTE: IF RIGHT-HAND OPERATION
(STANDARD) MOUNT THE CAM WITH THE
STUD/NUT POINTING AT THE GATE, IF LEFT-
HAND OPERATION MOUNT THE CAM WITH
THE STUD/NUT POINTING AWAY FROM THE
GATE.
As depicted in Figure 16 locate and mark with chalk
the proper chain link (depending on Right-Hand or
Left-Hand operation) for CLOSE Limit operation.
At this time recheck the Toggle Limit Switch
ACTUATORS for proper positioning to accept the
limit cams. See Figure 16.
