#NAME
DESCRIPTION
13 CLOSE EDGE
Momentary or continuous signal.
This input is active only when referenced to the closing direction, it
has no effect on the gate when opening or about to open. If
activated when the gate is closing the gate will stop, pause and
reverse in the open direction for 1/2 second (approx. 2 inches) and
stop. Continuous activation will prevent the gate from moving in
the close direction. Continuous activation while the gate is open will
prevent the Timer-To-Close function (if enabled) from automatically
closing the gate. If a second activation occurs before the limit
switch is activated the gate will stop and a require a renewed,
intended input to move in the close direction and before an
automatic activation device (timer, etc.) will operate. This input is
intended for Electric Gate Edge systems and other minimum-
contact devices as appropriate. Connect here and to terminal #16
COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected in parallel.
14 MASTER OPEN
Momentary or continuous signal. Master
(output configuration)
This terminal is used to coordinate two independent systems (two
control box/mechanical unit combinations controlling separate gate
leaves). Connects to terminal #6 (OPEN) in the companion control
box and controls the direction of movement in the companion box
(Switch Jumper Position diagram, Figure 19, Page 18).
15 MASTER CLOSE
Momentary or continuous signal. Master
(output configuration)
This terminal is used to coordinate two independent systems (two
control box/mechanical unit combinations controlling separate gate
leaves).Connects to terminal #7 (CLOSE) in the companion control
box and controls the direction of movement in the companion box
(Switch Jumper Position diagram, Figure 19, Page 18).
16 COMMON
Common connection for low voltage
signal inputs, terminals 2 through 15.

DESCRIPTION
10 CLOSE PHOTO
Momentary or continuous signal.
This input is active only when referenced to the closing
direction, it has no effect on the gate when opening or about to
open. If activated when the gate is closing the gate will stop,
pause and reverse in the open direction for 1/2 second
(approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous activation will prevent
the gate from moving in the close direction. When the input is
removed normal operation is resumed. . Continuous activation
while the gate is open will prevent the Timer-To-Close function
(if enabled) from automatically closing the gate. This input is
intended for photoelectric eye systems and other non-contact
devices as appropriate. Connect here and to terminal #16
COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected in parallel.
11 REV LOOP
Momentary or continuous signal.
This input is active only when the gate is closing or when it’s
fully open and the Close Timer is operative. All stand-alone
vehicle detectors, photo-eyes and active edges should be
connected here and to terminals #3 or #13 COMMON.
Multiple devices may be connected in parallel.
12 OPEN EDGE
Momentary or continuous signal.
This input is active only when referenced to the opening
direction, it has no effect on the gate when closing or about to
close. If activated when the gate is opening the gate will stop,
pause and reverse in the close direction for 1/2 second
(approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous activation will prevent
the gate from moving in the open direction. If a second
activation occurs before the limit switch is activated the gate
will stop and a require a renewed, intended input to move in
the open direction and before an automatic activation device
(timer, etc.) will operate. This input is intended for Electric Gate
Edge systems and other minimum-contact devices as
appropriate. Connect here and to terminal #16 COMMON.
Multiple devices may be connected in parallel.
SETTING THE LIMIT SWITCHES
Once the gate arm has been installed to the gate and operator, the limit
switches can be adjusted and set. BE CERTAIN TO TURN THE
MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE OPERATOR “OFF” BEFORE
PROCEEDING.
The instructions in this manual describe a right hand gate installation,
as shown in Figure 10. A right hand gate installation is defined as a
gate which swings inward and to the right to an open position, with
the operator on the right, as viewed from inside of the gate area facing
out. The RS4000 as shipped is configured for a right hand installation.
If a left hand installation is required, the limit switch wires and motor
wires must be swapped. This is fully defined in the right hand/left
hand wiring schematic illustrated in Figure 13.
Assuming a right hand gate installation, swing the gate to position it a
few inches short of the fully closed position. In this right hand
installation, the “closed” gate limit will be located on the left side of
the output shaft (see Figure 18).
The limit mechanism consists of a spring loaded flipper toggle which
activates a micro switch. These are installed on a bracket which pivots
around the output shaft. A trigger pin, installed on the large output
pulley, is used to flip the toggle and thus activate or de-activate the
micro switch. With this mechanical combination, the switching action
is positive and precise. This accuracy is not diminished by repeated
operations of the gate.
Identify the small trigger pin mounting hole closest to the “close”
limit located toward the front
side of the pulley between the “open”
and “close” limit brackets. Manually swing the gate open until this
mounting hole is positioned directly above the clearance notch
