GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION Limits Setup STEP 1 STEP 2 Instal the Positive Stop for the open limit Instal the Positive Stop for the close limit and adjust the open limit position. and adjust the close limit position. ! IMPORTANT: Each of the Positive Stops are designed for a specific limit position. The Positive Stop locations illustrated below are for Open Left swinging gates.
ECU BOX INSTALLATION Mounting the ECU Box ! WARNING: If the control box is not mounted properly it may fall, causing damage and/or injury. The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) weight is approximately 40 lbs. Be sure that the substrate being mounted to and the fasteners being used are appropriate to support the weight of the control box.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION High Voltage Supply Option ! Caution: Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT connect the “Power Harness” to the Control Board until the electrical installation is complete and ready for verification. STEP 1 ! WARNING: SINGLE PHASE AC ONLY At the “EMI Board”:...
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION Low Voltage Supply Option TIP: As an alternative to high voltage, the operator can be powered by 24VAC. It is recommended to use Vikings Modular Power Box (part # VNXMPB) as the source. ! Caution: Always turn off power breakers when working with high voltage. DO NOT connect the “Power Harness”...

CONTROL BOARD SETUP Obstruction Detection Sensor (ODS) ! IMPORTANT: The appropriate “ODS” setting is dependant upon the gate installation and construction. Set this feature accordingly. Additional Safety equipment should be used to reduce possible risk of injury or vehicle damage. “ODS”...
CONTROL BOARD SETUP Viking Heater The operator has an integrated heater. Activate this feature when the operator is used in application temperatures down to -20°F (-29°C). Disabled when “Solar Mode” is ON. To set the heater to turn on at the Close Limit: HEATER 1.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Re-Open (Monitored Input Terminal) (Monitored Input Terminal) The “Re-Open” input terminal protects The “UL” input terminal protects against against entrapment in the closing entrapment in both the opening and direction ONLY. Input will reverse the closing directions. Input will reverse the gate momentarily in the opposite gate all the way to the Open Limit when...
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Radio Receiver (Typical) ! IMPORTANT: The Hold Open “Timer” setting (page 25) affects how the gate will respond to the radio receiver command. The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can control the gate: 1.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Anti-Tailgate, Open Commands & Guard Station TECHNICAL TIP: For more information regarding accessory connections and terminal functions, refer to “Appendix (A)” on pages 42-43. Open Commands “Exit ”, “Fire” and “Strike” input terminals all provide an open command to the control board.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Viking Loop Rack TIP: This operator may be equipped with a pre-wired Loop Rack that plug-in type loop detectors can be connected to. This provides a convenient alternative to the box type loop detectors that would need to be wired to the control board. Viking does not provide either type of loop detectors.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Guidelines for Loop Installation 1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor. 2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide. 3.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Magnetic Lock, Lock Solenoid Lock Solenoid Magnetic Lock Power for the Locks: Do not use the 24VDC power supplied by the control board. An external power supply, or plug-in transformer, must be used for the magnetic lock or lock solenoid.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS Barrier Arm Synchronization NOTE: The Control Board provides a convenient solution for applications that require synchronized operation with the Barrier Arm Operator. This type of application opens and closes in the following pattern: 1. Open Command is provided only to the Barrier Arm operator. 2.
