    3.4 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The 6050/6100’s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. The gate open and close positions are determined by the physical stop “Flange” on the elbow assembly (See below). The arms MUST already be in the correct closed configuration (See Section 1.7 on page 11).

  • Page 26: Clutch Adjustment

    3.5 Clutch Adjustment This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable clutch “Type C” that can be used as an entrapment protec- tion device. If the clutch is intended to be used as such, it must be adjusted to NOT open or close the gate with a sustained force greater than 40 lbs at the leading edge of the gate, except for the first 10 degrees of arc travel after any initiation of movement.

  • Page 32: Shutdown Conditions

    5.2 Shutdown Conditions Under various entrapment conditions the operator will assume either a soft or hard (alarm) shutdown. To determine what type of reset action is required, you will need to understand how the different entrapment conditions affect the gate operator.

  • Page 33: Manual Gate Operation

    Resetting a Hard Shutdown When the operator is in a hard shutdown condition (audio alarm activated or audio alarm “chirps” every 5 seconds), the only way to reset the gate operator and return it to normal operation is to activate the alarm reset input (auxiliary terminals 2 and 3).
  • Page 34 FAIL-SAFE Manual Operation The FAIL-SAFE manual operation system is the most reliable and safest method for placing an automated gate in manual operation and is the preferred method of emergency gate operation under worse case conditions by many Fire Chiefs and Building Inspectors and is typically used in CLASS I and CLASS II applications. This system requires no keys, cranks or tools for manual gate operation and is completely automatic.

  • Page 35: Section 6 - Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    SECTION 6 - MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Inspection and service of this gate operator by a qualified technician should be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected. High cycle usage may require more frequent service checks. 6.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any (external) safety devices (loops, photo eyes, etc.) for proper operation. If external safety devices cannot be made operable, do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.

  • Page 36: Troubleshooting

    6.2 Troubleshooting 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, 3) the keying devices.
