15.1 Model 1045 Card Rack Installation

The card slot in the Model 1045 Card Rack is
dedicated to a Model 1000 phase selector. The
edge connector is wired to the connector on the
card rack front panel, and the terminal strip which
is also on the card rack front panel.
WARNING
Installation of this equipment by a person who is
not properly trained or skilled for installing gate
opening systems may cause improper operation of
the gate opener. To avoid this problem, only
persons trained in the installation of gate opening
systems should install this equipment. Improper
system operation may result in system/device
failure leading to a delay of the emergency
vehicle.
WARNING
Improper or incomplete programming of the
Gate Opener may cause improper operation
of the gate opener. To avoid this problem,
verify that the operation of the gate opener
is appropriate for your needs before, during,
and after actuation of the priority control
inputs. Improper system operation may
result in system/device failure leading to a
delay of the emergency vehicle.
Rear outputs 1 and 2 from the phase selector are
connected to the relay inside the card rack. The
outputs of the relays are then connected to the
terminal on the front of the card rack. These
terminals are intended to be connected to the gate
opener to activate the gate. Consult the manual for
your gate opener to determine the proper
connections. See Figure 15-1 for a typical
mounting location of the Gate Opener Card rack in
a gate opener cabinet.
