FINAL SETTING OF THE LIMIT CHAIN CAMS
If the gate stops short of being fully open or closed or if it bangs
against the end stops, turn off the main power and move the
appropriate limit chain cam. Each whole link on the chain
represents about 1" of gate travel. The cams should only have to
be moved one or two whole links in either direction to fine tune the
gate's limits of travel. When final adjustment has been completed,
insure that the cam nuts are properly tightened. Review Figurez16
& 17.
FINAL SETTING OF THE OPERATOR
SENSITIVITY
The obstruction detection sensitivity was preset before turning on the
main power to prevent the operator from "self-tripping" during testing.
To set the OPEN sensitivity, start the gate in motion in the Open
direction and turn the overload potentiometer counterclockwise until
the gate stops and reverses. Then back the potentiometer off 10 degrees
in the clockwise direction. Review Figure 18, Page 15.
Repeat for the Close sensitivity.
CAUTION: During this process the alarm will sound if the overload
sensor is activated two sequential times before the gate reaches a limit
(open or close). To reset the alarm sensor use constant pressure on a
control button connected to the OPEN or CLOSE input and move the
gate to a fully open or closed position or turn off and restore the power
to the operator.
Restart the gate and give the leading edge a firm blow with the heal of
your palm. Don't stand directly in the gate's path while testing the
obstruction sensitivity. The obstruction detection should respond
immediately to the blow. The overload potentiometer must be adjusted
to the most sensitive setting possible without causing "self-tripping"
due to the gate's inherent friction or to variations in the track. Try
readjusting the potentiometer several times by small increments, testing
the gate in both directions of travel, until you are satisfied.
SMART™ Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer
(Patent Pending)
The RS1000 has a Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer, SMART™
(patent pending). The amount of time for the first few cycles of
operation are registered and averaged within the motor controller
circuitry. After the first few initial cycles, if the gate is activated and no
other command is given or an end limit (open or close) is not reached in
the previously counted cycle time plus approximately 2 seconds, the
operator will be turned off.
The RS1000 has a thermal cutoff switch to protect the motor and
capacitor from sustaining damage. If the gate has been operated for an
excessive number of consecutive cycles the thermal cutoff switch will
open and the power will be turned off to the motor and control circuitry.
After a cooling off period the thermal cutoff switch will automatically
reset and the gate can be operated once again.
FINAL SETTING OF THE CLOSE TIMER
To alter the amount of time that the Close Timer will hold the gate
open, adjust the timer potentiometer located on the control board. See
Figure 19 below.
The Close Timer is adjustable from 2 to approximately 60 seconds.
Turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the delay; turning it
counterclockwise decreases the delay.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR
You are now ready to install and connect the auxiliary
equipment. INSTALLATION STEPS DETAILED IN
SECTIONS A, B, C AND D MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
1. Vehicle Detectors: If a Vehicle Detector (Reversing
Loop) is to be a part of this installation, start with this
first. Connect the vehicle detector to AC power and the
loop in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
and the information contained in this manual. Do not
connect to the terminal strip of the RS1000 at this time.
Test the vehicle detector independently using the presence
lamp on the front panel of the detector and a metal plate
over the loop. When you are satisfied that the detector is
working properly, connect the output wires to terminals 4
and 5 on the control panel of the RS1000.
Give the gate an open command and allow the close timer
to start the gate to close. Place the metal plate over the
loop and observe that the gate stops and reopens.
2. Installing other entry devices: After you are satisfied that all the
loops are functioning properly, proceed with the installation of the
additional devices, such as a radio receiver or deluxe wall station.
Connect the radio receiver as described on page 10.
