  • Page 16: Gate Sensitivity Adjustments

    J. GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS The gate operator monitors both average and peak motor current. When the gate encounters an obstruction, the gate operator senses the change in motor current and reverses the gate. Three sensitivity adjustments must be set for each installation: Right gate motion (R69) •...
  • Page 17 "OPEN TO LEFT" ADJUSTMENT PROCEDURES Left Gate Motion Adjustment (R160) 1. Initiate opening the gate. 2. Wait 4 to 5 seconds, then lightly "tug" against the edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle. 3. If the gate does not stop or back up, reclose the gate and adjust the pot slightly counterclockwise.
  • Page 18 K. BASIC GATE OPERATOR PROGRAMMING Even if you plan to program the gate operator by telephone, you may want to enter some immediate instructions during installation. The following list of instructions will help you set basic controls so the gate will operate properly until you have time for full programming, either directly or by telephone.

CONTROLS KEYPAD The 12-key keypad is used for local operation, programming and service.
  • Page 35 FUNCTIONAL INPUTS ! The term "activation" means closing an input circuit (via a relay or switch), and NOTES: may be momentary or continuous. Momentary activations are superceded by any command. Continuous activations are superceded only by an overriding command. $ Activating any command when gate is at the open limit stops the Reclose Timer.
  • Page 36 INSIDE/OUTSIDE INTERRUPT LOOP DETECTOR (TB16) IF GATE TYPE IS SWING OR LINEAR (ATG IS NOT FUNCTIONAL): Inside Interrupt Loop: Activation stops an opening or closing gate and deactivation opens the gate. Outside Interrupt Loop: Activation opens a closing gate. IF GATE TYPE IS SLIDE OR BARRIER AND ATG IS OFF: Inside Interrupt Loop: Activation opens a closing gate.
  • Page 37 RADIO RECV Convenience terminals provide power and contact connection for a radio receiver. Activation is the same as CYCLE. OBSTRUCTION ALARM (TB17) Relay contacts close to provide 24VDC alarm power if the gate has two consecutive obstruction faults. LOW BATTERY/ NO AC POWER (TB18) LOW BATTERY Activation fully opens or closes the gate, depending the setting of Switch S3.
