17. Connect to Terminal #7, Close: Same as above Sequence
#6.Connect to Terminal #13, Close Contact Sensor: Note that
the Close Contact Sensor light comes on & remains on until the
connection is removed. Observe that the both Motor Open and
Motor Close lights are momentarily ON, then the Motor Close
light goes out and the Motor Open light stays on for
approximately 1 second then goes out.
CHECK OF THE INDICATOR LAMPS HAS BEEN COMPLETED.
IF THE INDICATOR TEST PERFORMED SATISFACTORILY,
TURN OFF THE AC POWER SWITCH AT THE LPX1000
CONTROL BOX AND RECONNECT THE WHITE HIGH
VOLTAGE HARNESS CONNECTOR TO THE CONTROL
BOARD. RESET THE SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS (S1,
S2, S3) ACCORDING TO FUNCTION DESIRED (SEE PAGE 14
AND 15).
FINAL SETTING OF THE LIMIT SWITCHES
If the gate stops short of being fully open or closed or if it bangs against
the end stops, turn off the main power and reset the appropriate limit
switch nut. Each slot on the limit nuts represents about 1" of gate
travel. The nuts should only have to be turned one or two slots in either
direction to fine tune the gate's limits of travel. When final adjustment
has been completed, insure that the detent plate is firmly seated in the
slots. Review Figure 18, Page 16.
FINAL SETTING OF THE CLOSE TIMER
To adjust the amount of time the close timer will hold the gate open,
use the trimmer potentiometer on the controller board. Review Figure
21, Page 17.
Close timer delay is adjustable between 2 and 60 seconds. Turning the
potentiometer clockwise increases the delay; turning it
counterclockwise decreases the delay.
FINAL SETTING OF THE
OBSTRUCTION DETECTION OVERLOAD
FORCE
The Obstruction Detection Overload Force was preset before turning on
the main power to prevent the operator from "self-tripping" during
testing. To set the OPEN Overload Force, start the gate in motion in
the Open direction and turn the overload potentiometer
counterclockwise until the gate stops and reverses. Then back the
potentiometer off 10 degrees in the clockwise direction. Review Figure
19, Page 16.
Repeat for the Close Overload Force.
CAUTION: During this process the alarm will sound if the overload
sensor is activated two sequential times before the gate reaches a limit
(open or close). To reset the alarm sensor use constant pressure on a
control button connected to the OPEN or CLOSE input and move the
gate to a fully open or closed position or turn off and restore the power
to the operator.
Restart the gate and give the leading edge a firm blow with the heal of
your palm. Don't stand directly in the gate's path while testing the
Overload Force. The obstruction detection should respond immediately
to the blow, the gate will pause and reverse approximately two inches.
The overload potentiometer must be adjusted to the least force setting
possible without causing "self-tripping" due to the gate's inherent
friction or to variations in the track. Try readjusting the potentiometer
several times by small increments, testing the gate in both directions of
travel, until you are satisfied. Additional allowance must be made for
high wind area applications.
TO THE END USER: Test your obstruction detection overload force
on a monthly basis and have a qualified technician readjust for least
force setting as necessary.
TESTING THE OPERATOR LOCK
For LPX1000 models without “S” suffix the operator lock is only
active when the operator is powered and the GATE CLOSED light is
on (gate is fully closed).
When power is OFF, the lock is not energized and the gate may be
pushed open manually.
For LPX1000 models with “S” suffix, the lock mechanism engages
whenever the operator is not moving the gate (Fail Secure Lock).
Manual operation of the gate requires mechanically disengaging the
lock, see page 24.
SMART™ SETTING - SELF ADJUSTING
MAXIMUM RUN TIMER
The LPX1000 is equipped with a Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer,
SMART™, that will turn the LPX1000 OFF if a Limit Switch
command is not received within a few seconds of the time required to
fully Open or Close the gate. Valid commands received during the
cycle, such as activation of the OVERLOAD or a new input command,
will automatically reset and restart the MRT.
To set the SMART™ Maximum Run Time and check that the limits
are properly adjusted, fully open and close the gate five (5) times. The
control board will sense the time required and add approximately two
seconds.
W A R N I N G !
RISK OF ENTRAPMENT
OVERLOAD SENSITIVITY HAS NOT BEEN SET.
DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE NEAR THE GATE AND DO
NOT LEAVE GATE AND LPX1000 UNATTENDED
UNTIL THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURES HAVE
BEEN COMPLETED.
