Owner's Manual
TURN ON THE MAIN POWER SWITCH
Using the Basic Operational Guide on page 24, activate the gate
operator to move to the full open position, full close position and any
intermediate positions necessary to complete the following final tests
and settings.
On three phase units, incorrect phasing of the power supply will cause
the motor to rotate in the wrong direction (open when CLOSE button is
pushed and vice versa). To correct this, remove power (at the circuit
breaker box service box) and interchange any two of the incoming three
phase conductors in the operator’s high voltage AC line connection
Box.
Ensure to test the Contact and Non-Contact entrapment protection
devices (edges and any photoelectric devices) that are part of this
system for proper operation.
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 19, Page 16.
SETTING 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 20, Page 17.
Repeat for the Close Overload Force setting.
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
obstruction overload force. The obstruction detection should respond
W A R N I N G !
