  • Page 33: Shutdown Conditions

    6.2 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 34: 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), to silence the alarm, press the alarm reset button. • Before resetting a hard shutdown, determine why the shutdown occurred. Inspect the gate for any obstructions along its path that could have activated the inherent entrapment sensing system.

    Manual Release Unlock the cover and rotate sliding door. Never attempt to manually push open any gate with an operator attached to it until you have verified that ALL power to the operator has been shut-off. Remove release tool and place where shown.

  • Page 36: Section 7 - Maintenance And Troubleshooting

    SECTION 7 - 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. 7.1 Maintenance When servicing the gate operator, always check any external reversing devices (loops, photo sensors, etc.) for proper operation. If external reversing devices cannot be made operable, do not place this operator in service until the malfunction can be identified and corrected.

  • Page 37: Troubleshooting

    7.2 Troubleshooting Have a good VOM meter with Min/ Max test button 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.

  • Page 38: Built-In Diagnostics

    Symptom Possible Solution(s) • Check the input LEDs. Any ON will hold the gate open and indicates a problem with a keying device. Gate opens but will • Check the external safety devices. Any activated will hold the gate open and indicates a problem not close.
