WIRING VEHICLE DETECTORS
There are three connections that need to be made; 1) the AC power to
the vehicle loop detector module, 2) the control connection (“Presence”
or “Relay” output of the vehicle loop detector module) to the RSX1000,
and 3) the connections to the actual loop. All these connections will be
made at the vehicle loop detector modules (provided by others). Follow
the wiring instructions provided by the vehicle detector manufacturer.
Connect the actual loops to the vehicle loop detector modules as shown
in Figure 14. If two reversing loops are used to detect vehicles in the
path of the gate wire them in series as shown in Figure 14a.
VEHICLE DETECTOR POWER
Vehicle detectors may be ordered for 115 VAC or 24 VAC operation.
Allstar recommends that a 115 VAC Vehicle Detector be used. The 115
VAC may be obtained from the electrical service to the RSX1000
operator .
WIRING A VEHICLE DETECTOR TO THE RSX1000
For a REVERSING LOOP connection of the vehicle loop detector
module, the "relay" or "presence" output of the loop detector module
will be connected to Terminal #11 (REV LOOP) of the RSX1000 and
the COMMON wire will be connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON) of
the RSX1000, see Figure 14. As long as a relay closure is present on
these two lines, the RSX1000 will not allow the gate to close. If the
gate is opening, the gate will continue to open. If the signal is removed
before the Timer to Close times out, the gate will close after the Timer
to Close has completed its cycle.
For a FREE EXIT loop connection of a vehicle loop detector module,
the RELAY or PRESENCE output signal will be connected to
Terminal #5 (FREE EXIT) and the RELAY COMMON signal
connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON) of the RSX1000, see Figure
14. DO NOT CONNECT THE FREE EXIT OUTPUT SIGNAL TO
ANY OTHER TERMINAL, SUCH AS RADIO RELAY, BECAUSE
THE GATE WILL
CLOSE AFTER REACHING THE OPEN LIMIT
AND THE TIMER TO CLOSE HAS COMPLETED ITS CYCLE,
EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE HAS NOT EXITED THE FREE
EXIT LOOP.
WIRING RADIO RECEIVERS
THREE TERMINAL RECEIVERS
If a three wire receiver is to be used, the #1 terminal of the receiver is
normally COMMON to both the auxiliary transformer (power input)
and the radio relay. Most radio manufacturers label this terminal as 24
VAC. Connect a wire from the #1 terminal of the radio receiver to
terminal #1 on the operator. The #2 terminal of the radio receiver is
normally the relay contact of the receiver. Connect a wire from this #2
terminal of the radio receiver to the #4 terminal (RADIO OPEN) or #3
terminal (ALTERNATE) of the RSX1000 control panel. The choice of
Radio Open or Alternate is determinate on the function desired, review
the Reference Chart on pages 12 and 13. The #3 terminal of the radio
receiver is usually labeled RADIO POWER and is connected to 24
VAC. Connect to terminal #2 of the RSX1000 control panel.
FOUR WIRE RECEIVERS
Four wire receivers replace the "spade" terminals on the RECEIVER
with 4 wires. These wires are typically color coded. The instructions
with the receiver must be carefully followed to properly connect the
receiver. For any 4 wire receiver, two of the wires will be for power
input and two will be for the relay contacts. Connect the two wires for
the power input to each side of the 24 VAC RSX1000 terminals #1 and
#2. Connect one of the two wires for the relay to terminal #16
(COMMON) and the other wire to #4 terminal (RADIO OPEN) or #3
terminal (ALTERNATE) of the RSX1000 control panel. The choice of
