NG WARNING W IRING N WARNING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST not be performed until disconnecting the electrical power and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service. • Disconnecting power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding.
WIRING ON/OFF SWITCH POWER WIRING NOTE: Before running power wiring refer to wiring specifications on page 15 for correct wire gauges. Secure all electrical power connections inside the disconnect switch electrical box. Refer to electrical wiring diagrams on pages 31-33. IMPORTANT: On three phase operators, power connections must be properly phased. If phased incorrectly, the gate operator will run reversed.
WARNING WARNING ADJUSTMENT PROGRAMMING THE RADIO RECEIVER CAUTION WARNING SET SECURITY MODE The Universal Receiver can be used with up to 15 315 MHz rolling code remote controls or PINs in HIGH security mode. Alternately, it can be used with up to 31 of any type 315 MHz remote control in NORMAL security mode, including any combination of rolling code, billion code, or dip switch remotes. The jumper must be set at the HIGH position for the receiver to operate in HIGH security mode.
ADJUSTMENT WARNING LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT CAUTION NOTE: For limit location and configuration refer to Figure 1. 1. Before turning on power, disconnect extension arm from gate bracket so gate is no longer connected to operator. Push manual release pin(s) up through the control arm, slide clevis pin in place and secure with a cotter pin. 2. The (3) collars are held to shaft by set screws. The collars should now be loose on the shaft. If not, loosen all set screws until collars are moving freely on shaft.
ADJUSTMENT RPM SENSOR (HALL EFFECT) ADJUSTMENT WARNING NOTE: Normally the RPM sensor (hall effect) does not need adjustment, but may go out of alignment due to shipping vibration or rough handling. To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • Disconnect power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments. CAUTION These operators use an internal entrapment protector system. This system consists of the control board, magnet, and RPM sensor. It may become necessary to adjust the sensor for correct alignment.
ADJUSTMENT SEQUENCED ACCESS MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (SAMS) 3. Once the barrier is open the vehicle may pass through the SAM system. At this point you have two options in how you would like to initiate the SAM systems closure. You may chose to: a. Use a timer to close system to automatically close the barrier gate after a preset amount of time or b. Use a loop system to close the barrier gate after the vehicle has passed through the SAM system. 4.
ADJUSTMENT ACCESSORY WIRING All inputs are normally open and momentary, except the stop (N.C.). The following instructions are based upon UL325, and include recommendations for significant increase in safety. We strongly recommend that you follow the UL guidelines presented throughout the manual. Refer to instructions shipped with optional control devices for mounting, wiring, programming and adjustment.
ADJUSTMENT ACCESSORY WIRING OBSTRUCTION OPEN (EDGE/PHOTO EYE INPUT) 5 Field Wiring Terminals 9 & 5 - Obstruction Open (Edge/Photo Eye Input) Edge Input: See Programming Section This input will reverse an opening gate to the close limit. Activating this input when the gate is closing will have no effect. NOTE: If upon reversal a second separate obstruction is detected (gate edge or RPM sensor), gate will stop and alarm.

ADJUSTMENT CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES MOTOR LEARN BUTTON MOTOR LEARN FUNCTION (FORCE PROFILE) This function is preprogrammed at factory. If either board or motor is replaced, the controller will need to be programmed to “LEARN” the specific motor RPM profile of your operator. Switch “S3” is provided for this. This is important for accurate force control. Failure to do so may result in improper and unsafe operation. To learn the motor: NOTE: Motor Learn must be performed in stand alone mode. 1.
ADJUSTMENT CONTROL BOARD PROGRAMMING AND FEATURES (CONTINUED) RELAY DRIVE TROUBLESHOOTING LEDS There are 5 troubleshooting LEDs on relay drives K1 through K5. These LEDs will be illuminated when the microcontroller relay drive is activated.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH S1) NOTE: For all S1, S2 and S4 switch settings to take effect, the Save Mode switch must be set to the off position. TIMER-TO-CLOSE TIMER-TO-CLOSE ENABLE This switch enables the auto close timer. The timer to close feature works in conjunction with the potentiometer located on the board.
PROGRAM SETTINGS (DIP SWITCH S2) EDGE/PHOTO OPEN EDGE/PHOTO CLOSE This switch (S2-3) selects edge or photo sensor for the gate opening protection input. Open Photo Eye (Pause): When the controller is configured for photo eyes, the input functions to pause the gate during the opening cycle. Once the input is cleared the gate continues to open.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM Operator fails to run. POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION No Stop Control. Check the green LED (D17) on control board. If the green LED is off, check to make sure a stop control has been installed across terminals J1-3 & J1-5 of the control board. Fault in the operator. Check the yellow diagnostic LED at the top right of the control board next to the programming dip switches. If the yellow LED blinks six times there is a master/second unit communication failure.
TROUBLESHOOTING continued SYMPTOM Master or Second operator is not functioning properly. Operator runs but then stops and reverses direction. POSSIBLE CAUSES SOLUTION Failure to cycle power after setup. The power to each unit must be cycled in order to initiate proper master/second communication if the operators were previously in stand-alone mode. The communication wiring may be damaged or improperly wired for dual gate operation.
O P E R AT O R M A I N T E N A N C E ING WARNING IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS ON WARNING To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: 1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. 2. NEVER let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children. 3. ALWAYS keep people and objects away from the gate.
