Owner's Manual

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 LPX1700 models, 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 LPX1700 is equipped with a Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer,
SMART™, that will turn the LPX1700 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.
BI-PARTING INSTALLATION FINAL SETTINGS
LIMIT SWITCHES - Push both gates together in the center of the
driveway to set the closed limits. Push each gate open an equal amount
to set the open limits. After cycling the gates the settings can be fine
tuned to insure that the gates stop in their open positions at the same
time.
SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS - Make sure the selectable option
on Switch 5 is set in the OFF position for the primary operator and the
ON position for the secondary operator. Set the primary operator’s
other switches to the desired position according to the functions
required or desired. With the exception of Switch 2, set the secondary
operator’s other switch selectable options to the OFF position. Note on
Switch 2 that normally one of the operators installed in a bi-parting
application will be right-hand and the other left-hand.
When properly adjusted, the two operators will perform as a true
Master/Slave installation. If the motor overload circuit in one operator
should respond to an obstruction not encountered by the other, the gates
will temporarily get out of sync. Synchronization will be restored after
the next input command cycle.
OPERATIONAL TESTS FOR VEHICLE LOOP
DETECTORS AND AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT
You are now ready to test the auxiliary equipment. INSTALLATION
STEPS DETAILED IN SECTIONS A, B, C AND D (TO THIS
POINT) MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE PROCEEDING.
REVERSING LOOP VEHICLE DETECTOR
Reversing Loop Pre-test: Pre-test the vehicle detector independently
using the presence lamp on the front panel of the detector and a metal
plate over the loop. When you are satisfied that the detector is working
properly, proceed to the Reversing Loop Full Function Test (next).
Reversing Loop Full Function Test: Give the gate an open command
and allow the close timer to start the gate to close. Place a metal plate
over the loop and observe that the "REVERSING LOOP" light comes
ON the operator control board (see page 18) and the gate stops moving
close and re-opens.
FREE EXIT VEHICLE DETECTOR
Free Exit Pre-test: Move the gate to the Full Open Position. Test the
vehicle detector independently using the presence lamp on the front
panel of the detector module and a metal plate over the loop. When
you are satisfied that the detector is working properly, proceed to the
Free Exit Loop Full Function Test (next).
Free Exit Loop Full Function Test: Ensure the Timer-To-Close
function is ENABLED and move the gate to the Full Close Position.
Place the metal plate over the FREE EXIT LOOP and observe that the
gate opens to the fully open position. Leave the metal plate on the loop
for at least one minute. Observe that the gate does not close. Remove
the plate from the loop and observe that the gate closes. (Some vehicle
detectors will "tune out" a constant obstruction to the loop after 15 to
30 minutes.)
Testing other Auxiliary Equipment Devices: After you are satisfied
that all the loops are functioning properly, proceed with the testing of
the additional devices, such as a radio receiver, telephone entry or key
pad. Observe the precautions regarding radio receivers. Connect other
entry devices to the appropriate terminal determined by the function
desired per the chart pages 20 and 21.
