2 - SAFETY ACCESSORY SELECTION All UL325 PPA compliant gate operators will accept external entrapment protection devices to protect people from motorized gate systems. UL325 requires that the type of entrapment protection correctly matches each gate application.
4 - IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING This equipment is to be installed and serviced by a professional gate operator technician only. It is important that the specialized installer follow all instructions given in this manual. To Reduce the Risk of Severe Injury or Death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS Never let children operate or play with door controls.

Install the earth ground rod as near as possible to the operator. 9 - CONCRETE PAD Build a concrete base, so that the highlighted guidance (eg "13.78" K1, "13.78" Brasso and "15.75" Barrier) is located towards the curb (street, vehicle pass), following the dimensions suggested: CONDUIT OF 3/4"...
10 – BARRIER INSTALATION To fix the barrier note that the cabinet inspection door should face the side of the road or place of vehicular pass. INSPECTION DOOR Positioning / align the cabinet on the base and make the spot of the holes, so that the front of the barrier (side of the inspection door) it is located towards the curb (street, passing vehicles) Remove the cabinet to the base and do the drilling in the places previously marked PS: Do 04 holes with a drill of Ø...

Feed / energize the barrier with 120 V. PS: Use wire 0.1 inches². Use a dedicated circuit breaker, ie a circuit breaker which is connected only to barrier. Check / set the alignment of the barrier (opening and closing). Use this situation to the mechanical stops, moving them as needed STOPS FOR OPENING AND CLOSING ADJUSTMENT The barrier will be in good working order at closing, when the barrier / spear is under the following conditions shown in the picture...

Barrier balancing and belt check Remove the gear motor cabinet, leaving the free belt, make sure that the barrier remains in about 45° position. Other wise the adjustment will be made through the spring bolt, dropping it or squeezing it until you find the ideal setting. Then, replace the gear box and belt, check that it is taut and ready for operation.

The barrier is ready to operate. Turn on the breaker, press the "+" button of the electronic board and the barrier will move PS: On the first triggering, the barrier will move slowly in the direction of opening, as will be making the path reading, after reading the operation is normalized starting to operate in default speed manufactory for more accurate settings see options electronic board.
It is endowed with an EEProm2 memory which stores the acquired remote controls’ codes in a encripted way. This memory can be removed to be used in another compatible PPA product, such as PPA’s loose receiver ‘Alcance’ and vice versa. The control board is also compatible to rolling code remote controls, with PPA’s protocol.
12.2 - Power Supply The power supply must be connected to the ‘R’ and ‘S’ inputs on the power terminal blocks, the CN7 Connector. WARNING Be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position before attempting to connect any wiring to the control board.
12.5 - ‘TRAVA’ In Barrier mode this output can be configured to signal “Arm Open”. 12.6 - ‘LUZ’ courtesy light connection In case one opts to use the courtesy light, the ‘Optional Relay Module’ must be connected to this connector. The courtesy light will be always enabled.
13 - ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION SYSTEMS 13.1 - Internal Entrapment Protection System (Type A) This operator contains an inherent entrapment protection system (position sensor and current sensor) that allows the equipment to detect the presence of obstacles during the closing cycle. The barrier will reverse the arm direction if an obstruction is detected.
13.4 - ‘ABR’ Connection for an external command to open the barrier arm. Terminal block 1: GND (-); Terminal block 5: ABR (N.O. Contact). 13.5 - 'FEC' Connection for an external command to close the barrier arm. Terminal block 1: GND (-); Terminal block 6: FEC (N.O.
WARNING It is important to properly locate the opening and closing stops so that the gate can be automated. 15 - INVERTER PARAMETERS PROGRAMMING 15.1 - Operator model selection The control board can operate, by using the same firmware, in both gates / doors and barriers. To select the model, just remove the TST jumper and close the pines C/P (Cancel/Gate).

ENABLING FOLLOWER (MIRRORED) PHOTOCELL. In some facilities, such as gated communities, it is necessary to the gate to close automatically as soon as the vehicle gets out from the gate path. In order to do so, one must install one photocell and enable the 'follower' (AKA mirrored) function.
In Barrier mode: SETUP “BOT” FOR OPENNING ONLY. Press “-“ button to disable this function (Led OSC blinking). “FOP” (Switch #6) Press “+” button to enable this function (Led OSC ON). Whe this function is enabled, the “BOT” input will never trigger a closing command, so any command through “BOT”...
18 - ACCESSORIES The electronic control unit allows the installation of other accessories (NOT INCLUDED) that add functions to operator and give more comfort and safety to the user: 18.1 - Garage Light Turns the light from the garage where the operator is installed, so that it is activated to open, allowing check for any individual near the residence.
19.5 - Open end-of-stroke indication 'FC' LED blinks when the gate is on an open end-of-stroke area. 19.6 - Close end-of-stroke indication 'FC' LED keeps lit when the gate is on a closed end-of-stroke area. 19.7 - Capacitor load indication 'BUS' LED indicates that the high voltages capacitors are charged.
21 – METHODS OF TRIGGERING BARRIERS WARNING The described options below, vary according to the specific necessities for each location, defined in the act of purchase and installing of the product Some forms of triggering are: Inductive loop: Device installed below the floor through which vehicles whose function is to detect the presence of a metal body (vehicle), automatically triggering the opening of the barrier.
22 – PROCEDURES FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Before cleaning or doing any maintenance on the barrier, always switch off the power as follows: When the barrier is switched directly to the the power grid: To disable it, do the shutdown of bipolar breakers in the power input clock. That way all the power of the place will be switched off.
