Operation; Gate Operator Setup Examples - Chamberlain LA500UL Installation Manual

Gate operator setup examples

The following are example setups for the gate operator. Your specific site requirements may be different. Always setup the operator system to the site
requirements, including all necessary entrapment protection devices.
RESIDENTIAL: One to four residential homes sharing a gated entrance/exit, allowing vehicle access trumps security concerns
COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS: A residential community (more than four homes) having one or more gated entrances/exits, allowing vehicle access
trumps security concerns
COMMERCIAL: Business site where security (gate closed) is important
INDUSTRIAL: Large business site where security is required
SETTING RESIDENTIAL
Quick Close switch Normally set to OFF. Normal gate
setting close (timer or control).
AC Fail Open switch Normally set to BATT. Run on
setting battery if AC power fails.
Low Battery switch Normally set to OPEN. If powered
setting from battery and battery is low,
gate automatically opens and stays
open.
Anti-Tail switch setting Normally set to OFF. CLOSE
EYES/Interrupt loop reverses a
closing gate.
Bipart Delay switch For DUAL-GATE site, set to ON for
setting gate that delays upon opening.
Aux Relay Out – Open Typically not required.
Limit Switch
Aux Relay Out – Close Typically not required.
Limit Switch
Aux Relay Out – Gate Attach alert signal (audible or
Motion visual alert system).
Aux Relay Out – Pre- Attach alert signal (audible or
Motion Delay visual alert system).
Aux Relay Out – Power Attach visual alert to know when
system is charging batteries (i.e.
not running on batteries).
Cycle Quantity Feedback Use during servicing only to
determine operator cycles.
Fire Dept Open Input Typically not required.

OPERATION

COMMERCIAL/GENERAL

OPEN so that the gate will open
approximately 15 seconds after AC
power fail.
Normally set to OPEN. If powered
from battery and battery is low,
gate automatically opens and stays
open.
Normally set to OFF. CLOSE
EYES/Interrupt loop reverses a
closing gate.
For DUAL-GATE site, set to ON for

COMMERCIAL
Normally set to OFF. Normal gate
close (timer or control).
Normally set to BATT. Run on
battery if AC power fails.

from battery and battery is low,
gate stays closed.
Set to ON. In attempt to prevent
vehicle tail-gating, CLOSE EYES/
Interrupt loop pauses a closing
gate.
For DUAL-GATE site, set to ON for
gate that delays upon opening.
