Owner's Manual

PRESETTING THE OBSTRUCTION DETECTION /
SENSITIVITY
The operator is equipped with an obstruction detection circuit which
will detect MOST obstructions in the gate's path. See Figure 21. The
sensitivity can be independently adjusted for OPEN and CLOSE with
the potentiometers on the controller board labeled, "OVERLOAD
FORCE". Turning a potentiometer clockwise decreases the sensitivity
and turning it counterclockwise increases the sensitivity.
The RSX1000 is shipped from the factory with the potentiometers at
their most sensitive setting. Turn the potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise
to prevent the overload circuit from tripping due to the gate's inherent
friction.
(See FINAL SETTING OF THE OBSTRUCTION DETECTION
SENSITIVITY, Page 18)
TIMER TO CLOSE SETTING
The Timer to Close is controlled by the setting of the “AUTO CLOSE
TIMER” potentiometer on the control board, see Figure 22. When the
pot is adjusted fully counter-clockwise the Timer-To-Close is disabled.
Turning the pot approximately 1/4 turn clockwise will enable the Timer
To Close function with a delay of approximately 2 seconds between the
gate reaching the full open position and automatically closing. To
increase the time delay continue to turn the pot in the clockwise
direction to a maximum delay of 60 seconds (one minute).
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT AUXILIARY
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES BE INSTALLED
WHENEVER THE TIMER TO CLOSE OPTION IS ENABLED.
FINAL INSTALLATION CHECKLIST
1. Use a voltmeter to assure the service voltage to the
operator is 115 VAC. Connection to 220 VAC service is
the most common cause of board failure in new
installations and is NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY!
2. No accessory equipment is installed in the control box.
3. All wires attached to the 11 position terminal strips are
well clear of the moving parts under the unit cover.
4. The junction box cover is securely fastened .
PRE POWER-ON CHECKLIST
The following checklist should be used before turning on power to
the operator:
1. THE VOLTAGE TO POWER THE UNIT IS 115 VOLTS AC
2. The proper Left- or Right-hand Mode has been selected;
3. The Limit Cams have been mounted to the chain;
4. The Overload Sensitivity has been preset.
When the PRE POWER-ON CHECKLIST has been completed,
turn on the main power switch located on the control panel next to
the Control Wiring Terminal Strips, see Figure 11. Give the
operator a push button input command with a jumper wire attached
to terminal #16, COMMON, on the terminal strip and touched
briefly to terminal #3, ALTERNATE to START the gate. If the
gate was fully open, as left in the previous step "MOUNTING
THE LIMIT CAMS" the gate will start in a close direction. If the
gate was in any other position but fully open, the gate will start
in the open direction.
Give the operator an ALTERNATE input command. The operator
should stop if OPENING or CLOSING. A subsequent
ALTERNATE input command will cause the gate to begin
moving in the opposite direction. See BASIC OPERATIONAL
GUIDE page 22.
