Page 3: General Information
Another possibility for supplying power to the operator is with the low voltage battery back-up version of the AGS 104. To supply power to the AGS 104 battery back-up, wire as small as 16 gauge can be run as far as 300 feet from a charger that is plugged in remotely. -
Page 4: General Information
Mounting: There are two ways to mount the AGS 104 operator. One way to mount the operator is to attach it with bolts to a concrete surface using the optional concrete mounting stand and sleeve anchors. In some cases there will already be an existing concrete surface or pad available to bolt the operator to. -

AGS 104 is some inexpensive low voltage burial cable. If the cable is 16 gauge it can be run as far as 300 feet. For solar versions of the AGS 104, no power needs to be run to the operator. -
Page 6: Features
Pulse Open Input The Pulse Open input feature is an open input on the circuit board which will increase the security of the AGS 104 gate operator system. When an open input device such as a radio receiver is connected to the Pulse Open input, and the radio transmitter is pressed, the gate operator will activate but will then ignore the input if the input is prolonged. -

Page 9: Installation
Installation For post mount installation, install the posts onto the the gate operator. The posts are first insterted up into the bottom the gate operator. The posts are secured by tightening u-bolt nuts from the outside. For optional concrete pad mount installation, short posts are installed onto the gate opener and secured by tighten- ing the u-bolt nuts from the outside. - Page 10 Installation Continued... mate location so that the center of the shaft is located along the line that was previously drawn. Allow some clearance for the gate so the gate will not run into the gate opener during operation. When the gate operator location has been determined, make two post holes at the location of the posts.

Use the measurement from adjusting the primary arm to determine the length of the secondary pipe arm. Take the previously determined measurement and add 3 inches. -
Page 14: Electrical
Electrical Before making any electrical connections be sure that the power is switched off. If the gate operator is a standard 115 Volt model, run conduit from the 115 Volt power source into the gate operator. The gate operator is provided with a 90 degree flexible conduit fitting for installations where the electrical box is relatively close. - Page 15 Electrical continued... Connect the other end of the burial cable from the operator to the float charger. Be sure to match the positive and negative terminals of the charger to the positive and negative terminals of the battery. Once the connections are made, plug the charger into a 115 Volt outlet.
- Page 16 ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Electrical continued... STANDARD CAPABILITY SAFETY NOTES: Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate.
- Page 17 ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Electrical continued... FULL SYSTEMS CAPABILITY TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT DO NOT MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WHILE POWER IS ON SAFETY NOTES: Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls.
- Page 18 Electrical continued... OTHER COMMON ACCESSORIES NOTE: All open and safety devices muse provide normally open contacts. For devices requiring power, refer to the specific diagram for that particular device. NOTE: Because on the standard capability circuit board open and close are the same, a vehicle open device must be connected so that the device can only activate the gate when it is fully closed.

Page 19: Fine Tuning
Fine Tuning This step is for sensitivity adjustment on the standard capability control board. To make the adjustment, use a small screw driver and turn the adjustment "pot" counter clockwise for less sensitivity or clockwise for more sensitivity. Try applying force against the gate while it is moving both open and close to test the setting (Caution: Do not stand directly in the path of the gate... -

Master/Slave Wiring AGS104 Standard Capability 11/21/01 NOTE: If the gates stop before they get to the fully open or fully closed position, move the violet wire from terminal 3 to terminal 1 on the master and move this same wire from terminal 1 to terminal 3 on the slave. -

Page 27: Secondary Entrapment And Warning Placard Installation
Secondary Entrapment and Warning Placards The primary arm is designed to clamp onto the output shaft in such a way that the arm will slip on the shaft in the event that an obstruction exists in the path of the gate. The bolts for securing the primary arm should be tightened to a torque that will cause the gate to push with minumum force. -
Page 28: Options
Options If it is desired that the driveway illuminate when the gate is activated, a light delay timer may be installed. The light delay timer will switch power on to the light for two minutes, then shut power back off. The timer relay is capable of switching up to 10 Amps which will handle most flood or spot lights available. -
Page 29: Maintenance & Safety
Maintenance and Safety The AGS 104 is designed to be MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken. SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS The most important thing to maintain on any gate is the safety equipment. As the gate becomes older, the amount of force necessary to move the gate will vary. -

Standard Capability Explanation Of Visual Feedback Led's The AGS 104 Full Systems Capability circuit board has been equipped with Visual Feedback LED's to simplify installation and troubleshooting. These are small lights which are located directly beside the input terminals. These LED's give visual information to the installer or service technician indicating what commands are going into the circuit board from devices such as limit switches or from peripheral devices such as radio receivers or safety loops. -

Full Systems Capability Troubleshooting continued... Gate Begins To Open Or Close, Then Stops Or Reverses Adjust the gate sensitivity (See page 17). If the gate sensitivity adjustment is too sensitive, the gate may stop in mid-travel or reverse. It may be necessary to lubricate any mechanical parts on the gate such as wheels and clean the gate track of any debris. -
