Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions To ensure the safety of people, it is important that you read all the following ATTENTION instructions. Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the product could cause serious harm to people. The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last person on the site that can ensure that the operator is safely installed, and that the whole system can be operated safely.
The Vector control card has been designed to be easy and intuitive to use with helpful instructions on the status of the operation during and after the installation. It also has a built - in diagnostic procedure that can verify every aspect of the control card on site.

Site Considerations Site Considerations In order to ensure a reliable and durable installation thought should be given to: Strength of the pillar For reliable operation it is important to ensure that the way the operator is secured to the wall takes into account the strength of the pillar, the size of the gate, and how frequently the gate would be used: High security kit together with a...

Operator Installation Operator Installation 1. Determine gate opening angle and direction of operator (inward or outward). CLOSED Alternatively the swing angle can be deter- mined more accurately with the process detailed on page 37. 120° 60° 70° 110° 100° 90° 80° 2.
4. Secure the bracket to the wall with the most appropriate means. See page 14 for site considerations. Determine the gate bracket position Start with the operator fully retracted. Turn out the actuator tube one or two turns. 5. Fit the gate bracket to the operator. 1 OR 2 TURNS 6.
Page 20
Unlock the operator and swing the gate closed. 9. Remove the pin and the operator from the bracket, check that there are at least one or two turns of the actuator before it is fully extended. If it becomes obvious that the operator does not have enough stroke, reduce either the A or B distances by moving the wall bracket.
12. Fit operator, gate bracket pins and snap rings As an alternative to the snap ring, fit a padlock. Adjust origin clamp (NB - Not required for outward swinging gates) 13.Unlock the operator and open the gate fully 14. Slide the origin clamp along the actuator tube, right up to the operator.

Electrical Set-up Electrical Set-up WARNING 1. Always check that the isolator in the mains supply to the gate is in the OFF position, before doing any work. 2. Ensure that all low voltage systems (Less than 42.4V) are suitably protected from damage, by disconnecting all sources of power such as chargers and batteries before doing any work.
4. Check that the charger and battery are connected to the controller. Ensure the battery polarity is correct. Aux 12V Com Saf Light Light 5. Switch on the mains supply (via isolator).

“CONTROLLER FEATURES”. When setting up the VECTOR system via the LCD display , all the steps that have to be followed are clearly provided via the display. It is only necessary to note the following: To get into setup mode, press the (oblong) button for 3 seconds and follow the instructions provided from there.
Controller Features Controller Features § Refer to Table 1 on page 39 for Schedule of Factory Defaults for each feature described below. SAFETY (COLLISION FORCE) - MENU 2 MTRM/S COLLISION FORCE If the gate is obstructed, the internal collision circuitry will activate. The response of the system to a collision will vary, depending on the Operating Standard (eg CE, UL325) selected.
