PRE INSTALLATION NOTES The Allstar Standby Power Supply is designed to provide backup power to a gate operator when the main AC supply voltage is interrupted or disconnected. It eliminates the need for a separate motor and control circuit to be mechanically attached to the gate operator. The SPS-50 will provide the power and a signal to the gate operator to open the gate and leave it open until the main power is restored.
INSTALLING THE SPS-50 The SPS-50 is not weather proof and must be protected from exposure. Ideally, the unit should be located inside the operator, away from where water might infiltrate the operator. If there is no suitable space inside the operator, it may be located in an electrical enclosure outside the operator. The battery pack must be connected to the SPS-50 control box with the leads provided. Do not route low voltage wires in the same conduit as high voltage wires.
INSTALLING THE SPS-50 Applying Power and Connecting the Battery Pack Connecting the AC Line Voltage (Main Voltage) The SPS-50 is designed to provide back-up power to the gate operator ONLY. Auxiliary devices such as loop detectors, card readers, phone entry systems, etc., must NOT be connected to the output of the SPS-50. These devices may overload the capacity of the SPS-50 and prevent proper gate operation.
INSTALLING THE SPS-50 Installing the Warning Labels Final Installation Check List The warning labels should be placed to notify service personnel that the gate operator is connected to a back-up power supply unit.
RISK OF ENTRAPMENT. THE SPS-50 IS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE POWER TO A GATE OPERATOR WHEN THE MAIN AC POWER IS TURNED OFF. A GATE OPERATOR CONNECTED TO THE SPS-50 MAY START UNEXPECTEDLY WHEN THE MAIN AC POWER IS TURNED OFF.
