Outlet Leads Note: Eliminate outlet leads. Hookup your electrical 15 amp wires direct to outlet. Gate travel is adjusted by loosening the limit cams and positioning them until proper gate travel has been achieved.

RAMSET SENSOR INSTALLATION WARNING A non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or equivalent) and a contact sensor (edge device or equivalent) is required on each individual installation to comply with UL325. RAM 300 Ramset Gate Operators should not be installed without non-contact sensing devices such as Loop Detectors, photo electric sensors or the equivalent. Reversing Loops on the ground floor, prevents gate from closing when vehicle is in loop area.
RAMSET PUSHBUTTON CONTROLS Three pushbuttons are located under the dip switches for operation of the gate (see Figure 11). The opening, stop and closing buttons can be utilized to set limit switches and verify proper system operation when installing or servicing an operator. L.E.D.’s light up when Opening, Closing or Stopped Stop Pressing this button will cause the gate to stop moving. Figure 11 RAM 300 Opening Pressing this button will cause the gate to open.

RAMSET SAFETY Terminal strip Connection RAM 300 Figure 14 14 www.ramsetinc.
RAMSET Terminal strip Connections Terminal # 2 - Rev loop: Stops the gate from closing. If the gate is open, it holds the gate open. If the gate is closing, it stops and reopens the gate. If the gate is closed, the gate will remain closed. The function can be altered with Dip Switch “C” 4 (see “Dip Switch Configuration”). Used with loop detectors, photo eyes, safety edges…etc. Becomes active with a closed contact to common. Terminal # 3 - Close Closes the gate.
RAMSET ramset “Intelligate” Control Board RAM 300 Introduction Ramset’s “Intelligate” Control Board works with Sliding, Swinging and Overhead vehicular gate operators. It is controlled by a programmable microprocessor that reads and precisely executes all functions of the Control Board. The Control Board is powered by a separate mounted 24 VAC transformer. This allows no necessary board modifications between 110 VAC and 220 VAC single-phase applications.
RAMSET Wire board connections JP3 - 3 Button: 1) Open 2) Stop 3) Close 4) Common Used with a 3-button station to open, stop, and close the gate. The open and close are normally open connections and the stop is a normally closed connection, remove jumper wire when connecting 3 button station. Common and stop are also used with a photo eye used to protect the backplane of the operators. JP11 - Foot Pedal Plug: Stops the motor from running while the foot pedal is engaged.

Replace 1/2 amp. fuse. 3. Return Control Board for repair. GATE MOVES A COUPLE OF FEET AND THEN REVERSES. 1. E.R.D. too sensitive. 1. A) for 1/2 hp motors: turn dip switch “A” 4 ‘On’. B) for 3/4 hp motors: turn dip switch “B” 8 ‘On’. “EXIT” L.E.D. IS ALWAYS ‘ON’. 1. Faulty accessory connected to the “Exit”. 1.
RAMSET Gate entrance Safety Precautions RAM 300 Not following these instructions may cause severe injury or death to persons 1. Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the controls away from children. 2. The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians should use a separate entrance. 3. Always keep people, children and objects away from the gate while the gate is in operation. No one should cross the area of a moving gate. 4.
RAMSET RAM 300 IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR THE HOMEOWNER Ask your technician about all the features of our new Ramset operator. Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving & power is turned off to the unit. Safety devices, such as reversing loops, phantom loops, photo eyes, or miller edges must be installed on your gate before the operator may be used. Ask your technician which safety devices best suit your safety needs.
