Press the red commissioning button located next to the inverter and mode switch. (note-there should not be a present input on the open terminal from field wiring, this will prohibit the gate from closing, a momentary pulse is all that is required). Ensure the direction the gate first travels is toward the fully open position, if the gate first travels towards the closed position then turn the power off and reverse two of...
AFETY RECAUTIONS WARNING! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE SAFETY PRECAUTIONS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH AND OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT Appropriately licensed and competent personnel only should install the automation equipment. • The operators are designed specifically to open and close sliding gates or doors and should not be used for •...
GENERAL INFORMATION General Information regarding the “PLC” type operators • These operators incorporate a combined Invertor/PLC in one for the driving and control of the gate. • There is no need for any limit switches, proximity switches or motor encoders as the PLC control system utilises ‘Advanced positioning control’, meaning the PLC always knows where the gate position is as it is driving.
Electrical Connections PERATORS 20mm conduit for mains voltage and conduit for low voltage cabling can enter from either side (see cut out • positions on cover) or preferably from the spacing between plate & operator cover. Wire the mains voltage cabling straight to the motor terminals and connect both the shield and earth to the •...

Input/Output functions Pedestrian Input: The pedestrian input allows for the gate to be opened to a certain % of the full gate opening distance (20%-80% range). The % can be adjusted via the keypad from the N22 setting (see notes that follow). Open/Initialise Input: This input is used to commission the drive, and also used to open and close the gate.
Variable Speed Drive Unit The variable speed drive unit will, ramp up the speed of the operator, run at a predetermined fast speed and • then ramp down prior to closing. For approximately the last 500mm the gate will drive slowly into the stops. The acceleration and deceleration times have been set in the factory for the normal installation but can be •...
Commissioning Tighten knurled knob at back of slider, very firmly, by hand so gate will drive. • Power up board and with gate in the half way position, press transmitter or manual control switch • (manufacturer has provided a push button for open/closing/commissioning next to PLC inverter) so operator drives gate.
6. F AULT INDI NG In the event that the operator does not function due to a fault or unmet condition, there is a simple and effective way of ascertaining where the probable fault may lie. As the invertor is a combination PLC that provides the logic for executing the running of the gate motor, the inputs and their status are very important.
7. M AI NTENANCE ETAI LS WARNING! Failure to maintain equipment may result in injury or death and/or damage to property and equipment Recommended maintenance to be performed on the operator and gate are as follows:- Operator performs over 150 cycles a day each month Operator performs between 100-150 cycles a day every 2 month...
