General Safety Rules WARNING! READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS Work Area 1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite accidents. 2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes. 3.
9. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “WA” or “W”. These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and reduce the risk of electric shock. Personal Safety 10. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury. 11. Dress properly.
21. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. 22. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool. Service 23. Gate Opener service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
Installation Instructions Warning: Installation of the Gate Opener requires knowledge of mechanical and electrical concepts and experience. If you do not have these, you should contract a qualified technician to do the installation. Electrical supply wiring must be done by a licensed electrician. Preparation 1. Verify that the gate wings swing open easily, and without obstructions such as scraping the ground. See illustration below. 2. Verify that each gate wing does not weigh over 550 pounds. 3.
Providing a Power Source 1. Find a 110 VAC, fused, electrical box nearest the placement of the Control Box (B). If none exists, a licensed electrician will have to run new cable (14 AWG) and conduit from the electrical distribution box to the Control Box (B). 2. If an outdoor electrical outlet is near enough to use as a power source, a licensed electrician will have to run new cable and conduit from this outlet to the Control Box.
The Actuator Arm (A) must be parallel to the Gate Wing and to the ground. The placement of the Pivot T-bracket (G) should be on a Gate Wing cross member (if there is one), about 1/3 to 1/2 the distance from the ground. 8. Using a pencil, mark the outline of the Arm Mounting Bracket (F) on the Mounting Post. 9. Mark the outline of the Pivot T-bracket (G) on the Gate Wing cross member. 10. Close the Gate Wing completely. See illustration below. 11. Pull out the Actuator Arm (A) piston. 12.
14. Close the Gate Wing again, push in the Actuator Arm (A) piston, and hold up the Actuator Arm against the new marked outline on the Wing Gate and the marked outline on the Mounting Post. See the illustration under step 9, page 9. It may be necessary to move the Arm Mounting Bracket (F) farther or closer to the centerline of the Gate Wing hinge (dimension “X”). See illustration below.
Mounting the Control Box 1. Find a secure location for the Control Box (B) within two feet of the Actuator Arm (A). It has to be close because one of the Actuator Arm cables goes directly into the Control Box (B). See the illustration on page 9. 2. Open the Control Box and find the four mounting screw holes. Being careful not to touch the circuit board inside the box, hold the box against the surface where it will be mounted and make a drill mark on the mounting surface. 3.
Note: The far Actuator Arm (A) will need an extension cable splice to the Motor 34 inch cable of the same size and type (14 AWG stranded) to reach the Control Box (B). Route through conduit above or below the Gate Wings. 4. Turn off the circuit breaker that provides the power, check to ensure it is disconnected, and connect the 110 VAC wires last. See photo at the top of page 13. 5. When all the connections are made to the terminal strip, verify that each wire goes to the correct terminal number. 6.
For instructions below, refer to illustration on page 12. Emergency Battery A 12 VDC, 6.3 Ah, rechargeable battery (not supplied) can be installed to enable the Gate Opener when facility power is out. The switch-over to battery power is automatic. The Gate Opener will operate approximately 30 times on battery power. The battery is automatically recharged when facility power is restored. The Battery is connected to BATT pins + and –. See illustration on page 12.
Gate Settings Adjusting Motor Thrust If high winds or heavy Gate Wings keep the Gate Opener from working efficiently, the motor thrust strength can be adjusted. For safety, and to reduce needless wear on the product, adjust only to minimum thrust required. 1. Make certain that the gates are closed before changing the settings. Use a small slotted screwdriver (not included) to gently operate the controls. 2. Turn the TIME, MOT1, and MOT2 controls counterclockwise completely. 3. a.
Programming The Remote Control (C) transmitter comes pre-programmed from the factory. Changing the transmitting codes should only be done if absolutely necessary. The Remote Control Transmitter has two buttons. The T1 button is used to open and close both of the Gate Wings. The T2 button can be programmed and used to open one Gate Wing. Both buttons are used to program the Remote Control transmitter.
the old codes: press and hold the P1 button on the Control Board for ten seconds until the red LED light begins to flash. (When the P1 button is released the red LED light will turn off.) 2. Then press the P1 button one more time; the red LED will turn on and remain lit. 3. Next press and hold the T1 button on the remote transmitter until the red LED light blinks once and the gates begin to open. Now the Control board is re-programmed to open both gate wings (M1, M2) by pressing the T1 button.
Operating Instructions Note: During operation, keep all persons and vehicles away from gate wing movement. “Manual” Mode 1. To open both Gate Wings, press T1 on the Remote Control. The warning light will flash rapidly and the gates will open. 2. To close the gate wings, press T1 again. The warning light will flash slowly and the gates will close. 3. To stop the Gate Wings at any time, press T1 once. “Automatic” Mode 1. To open both Gate Wings, press T1 on the Remote Control.
Troubleshooting Symptom Possible Cause Gate does not open when Remote Control T1 is pressed. One Actuator Arm opens, while the other closes. Remedy 1. Remote Control battery dead. 1. Replace battery. 2. No power to Control Box. 2. Check power source and all fuses. 3. Remote Control program wrong. 3. Reprogram Remote Control. Incorrect wire connections to M1 and M2 on the circuit board. Check Actuator Arm connections as shown on page 12. 1. Blown Fuse inside Control Box. 1.
