  • Page 5 Normally closed devices are connected to terminals 6 and 7 at plug 2 after removing a jumper on the AGS 105 and 106 circuit board to cause the gate operator to stop in any position. This stop input can be used as a simple interrupt device for pedestrian doors which may interfere with the gates operation and help prevent possible injury to a pedestrian.
  • Page 6: Features

    PULSE OPEN INPUT The Pulse Open input feature is an open input on the circuit board which will increase the security of the AGS 105 and 106 gate operator system. When an open input device such as a radio receiver is connected to the Pulse Open input, and the radio transmitter is pressed, the gate operator will activate but will then ignore the input if the input is prolonged.

  • Page 10 The pad size and location in the illustration at left gives general dimen- sions that will accomodate both the AGS 105 and AGS 106 swing gate operators. Because this pad size applies to both gate operators it is not the smallest pad that can be made.
  • Page 11 If the AGS 105 is being installed, the wrench used will be a 5/8" box/open end wrench or socket. If the AGS 106 is being installed, the wrench used will be a 3/4"...
  • Page 12 Attach the remaining swivel joint to the gate bracket using the flat washer on top of the gate bracket and the lock washer and nut on the bottom. Tighten the nut firmly. When the remaining swivel joint has been attached to the gate bracket, place the gate bracket against the gate above the mark that was made on the gate so that the center of...
  • Page 13 Slide one end of the second- ary arm into the swivel joint that is attached to the primary arm and the other end into the swivel joint on the gate bracket. Tighten the set screws lightly on both of the swivel joints. Place a level on top of the secondary arm.
  • Page 14 Once the open and closed measurements are the same from steps 14 and 15, the length of the secondary arm can be determined. The length that the secondary arm will be cut is found by taking the equal distance that is found in steps 14 and 15 and then adding three inches.
  • Page 15: Electrical

    Electrical CAUTION: Before making any electrical connections, make sure that the power is OFF. The AGS 105 and AGS 106 swing gate operators are supplied with fittings for 1/2" Liquidtite flexible conduit. If another type of electrical conduit will be used, the installer must provide fittings for that type of conduit.
  • Page 16 Electrical continued... CONNECTIONS TO AVOID POSSIBLE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT DO NOT MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WHILE POWER IS ON OPEN INPUT: Any device that is used to open the REVERSE INPUT: Any device that is used to gate from a closed position is an open input device. The open and/or hold open the gate while the gate is in a non- device used must provide normally open contacts.

    Fine Tuning If auto close timer is used, move the AUTO CLOSE TIMER switch to the ON position. To set the auto close time to a desired length between 0-45 seconds, turn the timer adjust- ment "pot" clockwise to increase the amount of time and counter- clockwise to decrease.
  • Page 18 Fine Tuning continued... In order for the gate operator to function properly the Right/Left Side operation switch LEFT SIDE OPERATION must be set correctly. (See page 17 for Right/Left Side switch setting.) The illustration at left shows the difference between a right and left side installation.
  • Page 19: Maintenance And Safety

    Maintenance and Safety The AGS 105 and 106 are designed to be MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should be taken. SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS 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.

    Options AUXILLIARY INDICATOR LIGHT The control board has a special terminal that is specifically for connect- ing an auxiliary light which can be placed typically inside of the residence or building to indicate if the gate is in motion (opening or closing). It is recommended that an LED (Light Emitting Diode) be used as the auxiliary light and that a 1000 ohm...
  • Page 21 Options continued... MANUAL RELEASE The superARM can be used in place of the standard primary arm that is normally supplied. This nonelectronic release device will allow entry even when there is a power failure by pushing a release lever located on the superARM or by pulling an externally located cable handle.
  • Page 22: Master/Slave

    & Connect 115 Volts AC to each AGS 105/106 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 23: Reversing Edge

    Reversing Edge Remove the reversing edge from its package and slide the rubber edge out of the C-Frame channel. Attach the C-Frame to the end of the gate using screws. The C-Frame should be placed as low as possible on the gate because the reversing edge will be most effective when covering the lower part of the gate.

  • Page 25: Trouble Shooting

    EXPLANATION OF VISUAL FEEDBACK LED's The AGS 105 & 106 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 integrated devices such as limit switches or from peripheral devices such as radio receivers or loops.
  • Page 26 Trouble shooting continued... TRANSMITTER DOES NOT WORK Check the battery inside of the transmitter and/or try another transmitter. Make sure that the DIP switches inside of the transmitter are set exactly like the DIP switches inside of the receiver. Check to see which LED’s are illuminated on the circuit board.
  • Page 27 Trouble shooting continued... GATE WILL NOT STOP OR REVERSE WHEN IT MEETS AN OBSTRUCTION Adjust the sensitivity. The operator needs to be adjusted for more sensitivity. This is done by turning the open and close sensitivity adjustments clockwise for more sensitivity. (See page 17). GATE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED Make sure that the Right/Left side operation switch is in the correct position (See page 17).
