  • Page 4 The AGS 2000 uses the Full Systems Capability circuit board, a powerful control system which is used on many other AGS gate operators. This circuit board operates on 12 ~ 18 Volts and can deliver power to the motor through high power switching. The limit switch input terminals require the use of normally open type limit switches.

  • Page 5: Features

    Features OPERATION The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability can operate in a AUTO CLOSE TIMER (TIMER ON) or a PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE (TIMER OFF) mode of operation. In the AUTO CLOSE TIMER mode of operation the operator is given a command to open the gate and hold it open until the input is released and until the auto close timer has elapsed at which point the operator will close the gate automatically.

  • Page 8 INSPECT PACKAGING Remove the gate operator from it's package and make sure that all parts are included. Refer to General Information and Parts Identification. If any parts appear to be missing, contact a dealer. Temporarily plug the operator into 115 Volt outlet or extension cord. TEST OPERATOR Before beginning installation, test the gate operator by running the operator...

  • Page 9: Installation

    Installation continued... GATE PREPERATION Disconnect Power from the gate operator! The tail end of the gate should extend approximately 24" beyond the edge of the driveway. If this is not the case, an extension tail will need to be added to the gate.
  • Page 10 Installation Continued... POSITION GATE OPERATOR If the steel mounting stand was used, simply bolt the gate operator to the stand. If the operator will be mounted to a concrete surface or pad, place the shortest edge of the operator 4" away from the edge of the driveway.
  • Page 11 Installation Continued... ATTACH CHAIN TO GATE Attach the gate bracket to the gate as shown using the round or square u-bolts for round or square gate frames respectively. Attach the chain to the gate brackets using the chain bolt and master link as shown. If necessary, the chain may be easily short- ened using a chain breaker.

  • Page 12: Alternate Installation

    To prepare the AGS 2000 for a rear mount installation, remove one or both idler sprockets from the opera- tor.

  • Page 13: Electrical

    Electrical CONDUIT ROUTING Make sure that power is OFF before making any electrical connections! The operator is provided with two knockout holes on each side. Run 1/2" liquidtite flexible conduit through one of the four knockout holes and into the handy box where the receptacle is located.
  • Page 14 Electrical Continued... BATTERY BACK-UP equipped with battery back-up, only the Right/Left Side switch and the Mode switch need to be set. The Right/Left switch simply needs to be set in the same position as the Right/Left switch on the main control board. (See page 17 for correctly setting the Right/ Left switch on the control board) The Mode switch can be set in either the Mode 1 or...
  • Page 15 Electrical Continued... OPEN INPUT: Any device that is used to open the gate from a closed position is an open input device. The device used must provide normally open contacts. These normally open contacts are con- nected to terminals 5 and 6. These open input termi- nals will cause the gate operator to open and/or close if the timer switch is in the OFF position.
  • Page 16 Wiring Diagrams, Button Controls One button, two button and three button controls may be board. Connect the Close button NO terminal of the push button control to Close connected individually or together as shown below. Most button (terminal 10) on the gate operator control board. If the stop button has normally controls have a common "buss bar"...

  • Page 17: Fine Tuning

    Fine Tuning ADJUST TIMER The gate operator is designed to work differently while opening then while closing to optimize safety, so the direction of the operator will need to be set. Setting the operator direction is done by flipping the right/left side switch located at the top of the circuit board.
  • Page 18 AGS 2000 MASTER/SLAVE Connect 115 Volts AC to each AGS 2000 gate operator. Connect the six Master/Slave wires from the master circuit board to the slave circuit board as shown below. Any operator can be used as either a master or a slave. All accessories will be connected to the master operator so the decision of which operator will be the master and which operator will be the slave is a matter of convenience.

  • Page 21: Safety Edge

    Safety Edge Installation Place the safety edge against the surface of the gate to get an idea of where it will be permanently attached. It is best to attach the safety edge at a height that will cover the area that is most likely strike an obstruction.
  • Page 22 Safety Edge Installation Attach the radio receiver inside of the gate operator in a place where the antenna may be extended out of the operator enclosure. This may lead to many possible locations so a suggestion would be to place the receiver beside the receiver that already exists (if equipped).
  • Page 23 If it is desired that the driveway illuminate when the gate is activated, a light delay timer may be installed. The light delay timer will switch power on to the light for two minutes, then shut power back off. The timer relay is capable of switching up to 10 Amps which will handle most flood or spot lights available.

  • Page 25: Maintenance And Safety

    Maintenance and Safety The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability is designed to be MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken. GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS FOR SYSTEM PROTECTION The most important thing to maintain on any gate is the safety equipment. As the gate becomes older the amount of force necessary to move the gate will vary.

  • Page 26: Trouble Shooting

    Trouble Shooting EXPLANATION OF VISUAL FEEDBACK LED's The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability circuit board has been equipped with Visual Feedback LED's to simplify installation and troubleshooting. These are small lights which are located directly beside the input terminals. These LED's give visual information to the installer or service technician indicating what commands are going into the circuit board from devices such as limit switches or from peripheral devices such as radio receivers or safety loops.
  • Page 27 Trouble Shooting GATE BEGINS TO OPEN OR CLOSE, THEN STOPS OR REVERSES Adjust the gate sensitivity (See page 17). If the gate sensitivity adjustment is too sensitive, the gate may stop in mid-travel or reverse. It may be necessary to lubricate any mechanical parts on the gate including wheels and rollers and clean the track of any debris.
  • Page 28 For a personal copy of this manual, please contact an AGS distributor. NOTE: All open and safety devices must have normally open contacts.
