For Master/Slave wiring, refer to Installation and Operation of the SL 1000, SW 2000, BG 3000, and BG 3100-X1 Master/Slave Configurations, document number 6001376. WARNING Route but do not connect input wires at this time. If inputs are connected now, the gate operator may activate at random during installation, potentially injuring installation personnel.
Page 12: Using Manual Controls
If the STOP terminal is disconnected from the COMMON terminal, the gate is prevented from moving and no command will affect the gate. G. GATE ARM INSTALLATION A sixteen foot wishbone arm is supplied with every BG 3100-X1. If a longer arm is desired, an extension may be added. 1. WISHBONE ARM EXTENSION FABRICATION Figure 7.
Page 13: Figure 8. Gate Arm Installation
CAUTION The total weight of the gate arm must not exceed thirty-two (32) pounds. The lighter and/or shorter the gate arm, the longer the life of the gear reducer and motor. 2. ARM ATTACHMENT Figure 8. Gate Arm Installation. Attach left and right arms and arm clamps to the hub flanges using hardware provided (Figure 8 x). Bolt counterweights to ends of arm clamps using hardware provided (Figure 8 y).
Page 14: Gate Arm Adjustment For Typical Installation
H. GATE ARM ADJUSTMENT FOR TYPICAL INSTALLATION Although preset at the factory, the turnbuckle may have to be adjusted to ensure the gate arm is level. If required, adjust the turnbuckle as follows: Make sure the unit power switch is off. Rotate the gearbox pulley by hand until the crank arm is parallel with the turnbuckle shaft at its highest point of travel (see Figure 9).
Page 15: Figure 10. Gate Sensitivity Adjustments Location
Figure 10. Gate Sensitivity Adjustments Location. 1. TYPICAL INSTALLATION ADJUSTMENTS “Left Reverse” Adjustment (R160) Initiate opening the gate. Wait 1 to 2 seconds, then lightly “tug” against the edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle. If the gate does not stop or back up, reclose the gate and adjust the pot slightly counterclockwise. Repeat steps 1-3 until the gate stops or backs up when tugged and has the desired sensitivity.
Page 16: Power Fail Operation Option Connection
