WIRING CONNECT BATTERIES CONNECT BATTERIES 33AH BATTERIES The batteries are charged in the circuit by the integrated transformer. The batteries are for battery backup or solar installation. The 33AH application requires the 33AH battery harness (Model K94-36596) and an additional battery tray (Model K1036183) to allow more space in the enclosure. The heater option cannot be used with the 33AH battery application. Remove the outlet housing from the chassis by removing the screws (2).
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH: • Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a moving gate. • Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system. • NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to move gate. • NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
ADJUSTMENT LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT + OBSTRUCTION TEST FINE TUNE THE FORCE 1 The FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough that the gate will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions, but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person.
PROGRAMMING REMOTE CONTROLS + ERASE ALL CODES REMOTE CONTROLS A total of 50 Security✚ 2.0™ remote controls and 2 keyless entries (1 PIN for each keyless entry) can be programmed to the operator. NOTE: When the memory is full the operator will exit programming mode and the remote control/keyless entry will not be programmed.
