1.2 MOUNTING POSITION The 1601 and 1602 operators are designed to be mounted in either a left hand or right hand mounting position. Care should be taken to be sure that the access door to the operator is opposite the traffic lane.
1.3 PAD CONSTRUCTION The 1601 and 1602 operators are designed to be mounted directly to a concrete pad. The size of the pad specified below will allow four inches of clearance around the operator. This will prevent the pad from splitting or cracking when anchoring the operator to the pad.
1.4 OPERATOR MOUNTING Remove the operator from its shipping carton. Be sure to check the packing list against the shipment to be sure all necessary components are on hand. 1. Position the operator so that it is centered on the mounting pad and the door is facing away from the traffic lane.
1.5 ARM MOUNTING HARDWARE INSTALLATION The 1601 barrier gate operator is designed so that the arm can be mounted on either side of the cabinet. The 1602 arm is attached on both sides of the operator. 1. Determine which side of the cabinet that the arm is to be mounted. Remove the hole plug from the side of the cabinet to expose the drive shaft.
SECTION 2 – ELECTRICAL Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor perform such work. Since building codes vary from city to city, we highly recommend that you check with your local building department prior to installing any permanent wiring to be sure that all wiring to the operator (both high and low voltage) complies with local code requirements.

Connect the DOWN loop to terminals TB-1 and the ARMING loop to terminals TB-2. • If the optional arming loop is not used, use a 9406 detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board and connect the DOWN loop to terminals TB-1 on this detector.
2.4.2 EXIT LANE APPLICATION • Use a 9406 detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board and connect the DOWN loop to terminals TB-1 on this detector. • Use a second 9406 detector plugged into the UP port on the 1601 circuit board and connect the EXIT loop to terminals TB-1 on the detector.
2.4.3 TICKET SPITTER APPLICATION • Use a 9405 loop detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board. Connect the DOWN loop to terminals TB-1 and the TICKET EJECT loop to terminals TB-2. • The timer (SW-1, switch 7) should be OFF. The arm will rotate down after the vehicle clears the down loop.
2.4.4 TWO-WAY LANE APPLICATION • Plug a 9406 loop detector into the UP loop port on the 1601 circuit board and connect the EXIT loop to terminals TB-1. • Use a 9405 loop detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board. Connect the DOWN loops, wired in series, to terminals TB-1 and the ARMING loop to terminals TB-2.
2.4.5 TIMER DOWN APPLICATION • Use a 9405 loop detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board. Connect the REVERSE loops, wired in series, to terminals TB-1 and the ARMING loop to terminals TB-2. • If the optional arming loop is not used, use a 9406 detector plugged into the DOWN port on the 1601 circuit board and connect the REVERSE loops, wired in series, to terminals TB-1 on this detector.
PAMS applications. Activation of this input will rotate the arm to the up position one time, and activates the enable up input. ENABLE UP input. This input is used when sequencing the 1601 with a slide or swing gate operator in PAMS applications.
SECTION 3 – ADJUSTMENTS The switch settings and adjustments in this chapter should be made after your installation and wiring to the operator(s) is complete. Whenever any of the programming switches on the circuit board are changed, power must be shut-off, and then turned back on for the new setting to take effect. 3.1 CIRCUIT BOARD ADJUSTMENTS •...
SW 2 (BOTTOM SWITCH) SWITCH FUNCTION SETTING DESCRIPTION Operator Switch must be set OFF for model 1601 operators. Model Switch must be set ON for model 1602 operators. Spare These switches are un-used at this time. Leave in the OFF position.
3.3 MAGNETIC LIMIT ADJUSTMENT This barrier gate operator uses magnetic limits that are preset at the factory to rotate the arm 90°. No adjustment of the limit magnets are be necessary when the operator is used in a normal configuration. If it becomes necessary for the arm to rotate less than 90°, follow the steps below to adjust the magnetic limits.
3.4 REVERSE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT The barrier gate operator is equipped with an Electronic Reversing Device (ERD) which will cause the barrier arm to reverse direction of travel should an object be encountered during the down cycle. The amount of force required for the arm to reverse direction is dependent on the setting of the reverse sensitivity potentiometer.
3.5 OPERATING TESTING Be sure that power to the barrier operator is OFF before changing any programming switches, or wiring any control devices to the operator. Be sure that the barrier arm(s) ARE NOT INSTALLED AT THIS TIME! 1. Set the programming selection switches on the circuit board for the desired operation. Anytime the programming switches are changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF, and then turned back ON for the changes to take affect.
2 in this section. 2. Turn power to the operator OFF. 3. Remove the plastic cover from the 1601-010 circuit board. 4. Flip the magnet over. NOTE: Each magnet has a small indent on one side. If the indent is facing out, flip the magnet so that it is facing in, or if the indent is facing in, flip the magnet so that it is facing out.
4.1.2 ARM MOUNTING HUB INSTALLATION Follow these instructions to install the arm mounting hub onto the 1601 and 1602 operators. The 1602 operator requires a mounting hub on each side of the operator housing to accommodate the wishbone style arm.
Follow these instructions to install the barrier arm onto the 1601 operator. The illustrations below show the three different arms that can be installed on the 1601 operator; wood, plastic or aluminum. If the operator is going to be equipped with a folding arm kit for low headroom applications (wood or plastic arms only), follow the installation instructions that come with the folding arm kit.
1. Be sure that the shaft rotation has been checked as described in 4.1.1. Install the two (2) arm mounting brackets (p/n 1601-069) onto the arm hubs on each side of the operator using eight (8) 3/8-16 x 2 hex head bolts and 3/8 lock washers. Do not tighten the bolts at this time.
If the operator is equipped with the square plastic arm (p/n 1601-071), it may not be necessary to install the reversing edge on the bottom of this arm since it is soft enough to bend out of the way should it meet an obstruction.
4.2.2 HEATER KIT INSTALLATION The optional heater kit is recommended for usage in areas where temperatures will routinely drop below 40°F (4°C). This is necessary to keep the oil in the gearbox from freezing. 1. Be sure that power to the operator is OFF at the circuit breaker panel since connections will be made to the high voltage terminal strip.
4.2.3 FAN KIT INSTALLATION Use the optional fan kit in areas where hot humid climates are the norm. The fan kit prevents a build up of moisture inside the cabinet in this type of environment. 1. Be sure that power to the operator is OFF at the circuit breaker panel since connections will be made to the high voltage terminal strip.
SECTION 5 – MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING 5.1 MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE MONTHLY SCHEDULE INTERVAL Check for cracks or weathering. Repair or replace as necessary. Belt Check for alignment, tightness and wear. Check the electronic reversing device for proper operation. Adjust sensitivity if necessary. Fire Dept.
5.2 TROUBLE SHOOTING Have a good VOM meter to check voltages and continuity. A Meg-Ohm meter capable of checking up to 500 meg-ohms of resistance is necessary to properly check the integrity of the ground loops. When a malfunction occurs, isolate the problem to one of three areas: 1) the operator, 2) the loop system or 3) the keying devices.
