6.6 - Learning and programming features These steps begin the basic “Learning” programming of the gate opener unit. Most all of the features and programming are pre-set and already set up for most standard installations. The installer most often will only be required to plug the unit into electrical power, and then “learn” the unit by setting the limits on the gate movement. In most cases this is the extent of the basic programming procedure. If the unit is not in LEARNING MODE see section 6.

8 - ACCESSORY INPUTS AND OUTPUTS LOOP 1 Input: (24) Dry contact input that can be programmed for an inductive safety loop or photo-eye detector. Activating the LOOP 1 input maintains an OPEN gate fully open and a CLOSED gate fully closed until deactivated. 8.1 - Outputs Setting the LOOP1 input to “Photo Mode” causes the moving gate to stop, then reopens the gate when the LOOP1 input is deactivated.
O-View Software Suite. This unit, when matched with the OVIEW Bluetooth or GSM modules, enables remote control and management of the gate controller. Remote control functions include all programming functions that are available at the front panel LCD on the control board as well as software updates. OVBT: Bluetooth module for OVIEW and the “O-View Software Suite” application for PC, PDA, or Smartphone for localized wireless control of the gate controller.
9 - WIRING AND CONNECTIONS WARNING Permanent wiring is to be employed for the installation as required by local codes. This swing gate operator uses an inherent entrapment sensing system as well as external type sensors. Use only U.L. listed (or equivalent) non-contact sensors. Inputs from the photo-beam to the circuit board are Normally Open (N.O.). Use only U.L. listed (or equivalent) non-contact sensors. Connect the non-contact sensors.

11 - INSPECTION AND OPERATION Proper inspection of all equipment is required to ensure continuous functionality, safety and to ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions. Inspect electrical assemblies and wiring installations for damage, general condition, and proper functioning to ensure the continued satisfactory operation of the electrical system.

26 - MECHANICAL ADJUSTMENT OF GATE CLOSING POSITION This procedure allows slight mechanical adjustment of the gate’s closing angle by extending or retracting the main arm. 1. Using a 2.5mm or 3/32 hex key, turn the locking bolt on the side of the arm counter-clockwise to release the adjustment knob. 2. Rotate the knob as shown to increase or decrease the length of the main arm. NOTE: Do not extend the main arm more than 2"! 3. Using a 2.
- PROGRAMMING QUICK START 28.1 - Learning the gate 1. Install electrical power to the gate opener unit. 2. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors, Loops and other safety devices. 3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit. 4. Using the MANUAL RELEASE HANDLE, disengage the drive motor. 5. Move the gate manually (with your hands) to ensure that the gate travels to the fully open and fully closed positions with no binding or problems. Gate should move freely. 6.
- INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Left box is for installer check off and the right box is for customer check off. T T 1. The gate has been checked to make sure it is level and moves freely in both directions. T T 2. Potential pinch areas have been guarded so as to be inaccessible OR have contact and/or non-contact obstruction sensing devices installed. T T 3.
