Wiring 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. • Disconnect battery and 34 Vdc transformer or solar panel BEFORE proceeding.
WIRING OPERATOR(S) TO CONTROL BOARD Single Controller WARNING CAUTION To prevent SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH from a moving gate: DO NOT connect the battery at this time. To ENSURE proper operation of external devices: • ENSURE bare wires make good contact inside removable terminal connections. • DO NOT let wire insulation interfere with connection. Master/Second Controller Water tight conduit not provided from the second operator.
DC POWER CONNECTION NOTE: Master/second control board shown to demonstrate proper conduit arrangement. The same connection sequence applies to the single control board. Plug in the transformer and connect the battery plug into the surge suppressor J1 battery plug. The “Timer” LED will flash “3 times”. After that, check the “Charge OK” LED...... ......it must be “ON”. If the board or charging LEDs are lit, replace the fuses ONLY with type and sizes specified. See page 35.
UL ALARM CONNECTION This UL alarm is required for UL-325. It will go off after 2 consecutive events on the reverse sensor or UL sensor occur. The UL alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes unless the Stop/Reset button is pressed or a new command is received by the Strike Input Connection. The reset button will shut off an activated audio alarm and reset the operator to function again. See page 32. If the audio alarm goes off, always check the gate area for: • Obstructions in the gate path.
WIRING ADDITIONAL INPUTS Strike Input #21 and #22 Wiring at #21 and #22 will be recognized as an Open Only command, and Will Not close the gate. To automatically Close the gate after an open cycle, the control board timer must be turned ON. See page 26 about timer control. Works as “Open Only” command. Separate Power for Device Separate Power for Device Input #23 and #24 To provide a Close command use #23 and #24. Wiring at #23 and #24 will be recognized as a Three Push Button command.
24 VDC EXTERNAL LOOP DETECTOR WIRING NOTE: Refer to the loop detector manual for more specific information. Part # A24 (Sold Individually) 24 Vdc “Center” Loop Detector - Allows gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing path. Caution: This option is for all vehicles including ones less than 14' long. Center loop system requires two safety loops. Center 24 Vdc “Safety” Loop Detector - Allows gate to stay open when vehicles are obstructing path. Caution: Suggested for vehicles 14 feet or longer.
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE Non-Contact Sensors (24 Vdc Photo Electric Sensors) To reduce the risk of injury, install photo electric sensors when the gate opens to less than 18” from a wall or any other object or potential entrapment installation.
MAGLOCK OR SOLENOID CONNECTION NOTE: ONLY the optional relay module will allow interface with the maglock or solenoid. The gate opening direction must be previously set, see page 26. Pin 1 is used when control board is set to Open Inside. Pin 3 is used when control board is set to Open Outside. The relay connection is the same on the master/second control board. CAUTION To ENSURE proper operation of external devices: • ENSURE bare wires make good contact inside removable terminal connector.
Adjustments CAUTION To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH: Disconnect power BEFORE performing ANY adjustments. SET GATE OPENING DIRECTION Inside Property Gate Opens Outward Gate Opens Inward Inside Property The opening direction works the same on the single or master/second control board. SETTING TIMER The timer works the same on the single or master/second control board. To use the automatic close for the gate system, the timer should be switched to the “ON” position.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS Remove operator cover and unlock the operator to adjust the gate’s traveling distance with the limit switches. Loosen the 2 screws of each limit switch armature. Position the second limit switches of each armature to stop the gate in the “full open” and “full closed” positions (See illustration below). Re-tighten armature screws when gate positions are correct. Replace operator cover with 4 screws when finished adjusting switches.
ADJUSTING REVERSE SENSOR Adjust the reverse sensor so when the gate hits any object while opening, it will STOP, and when the gate hits any object while closing, it will REVERSE. The reverse sensor must be adjusted while the gate is opening or closing. Sensor is too sensitive = if the gate stops in midcycle or reverses by itself. Sensor is not sensitive enough = if the gate hits an object and does not stop or reverse. Reverse sensor works the same on the single or master/second control board.
5 MHZ RADIO RECEIVER PROGRAMMING Setting Output Duration (M) or (C): The receiver is factory set at (M) Momentary. To verify, refer to the label next to jumper P2. (See illustration below) For commercial applications, the receiver can be set to either (C) constant or (M) momentary closure. With the jumper in the (M) momentary position, the contacts will close for 1/4 second regardless of the length of remote control transmission.
CLOSE DELAY FOR OVERLAPPING GATES Master/Second Gates with Overlap Overlap positioned on the Outside. Inside Property Inside Property Overlap positioned on the Inside. Gate’s Open Inside When “Close Delay” is turned ON, the Master operator will delay closing it’s gate to compensate for the gate overlap. It works for any opening direction and overlap position.
