3.3 Automatic Open / Close Limit Adjustment The 9150’s open/close limits DO NOT have to be physically adjusted. Every time the 9150 is powered up, the first open command will automatically run “Multiple gate cycles” that will locate and remember the gate’s open and close positions. These positions are determined by the physical stops that have been installed (See section 1.2, page 10).
3.4 Clutch Adjustment In addition to the inherent reverse sensor, this operator is equipped with a mechanical slip clutch to further reduce the possibility of injury should an entrapment occur. DO NOT over tighten the clutch to compensate for a gate that is damaged, poorly constructed or too heavy. Over tightening the clutch would create a hazard which could result in serious injury or death to persons who may become entrapped.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION External Entrapment Protection Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, this operator has a UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 and/or reversing edges-Type B2 entrapment protection required by UL 325 standards. Install these devices where the risk of entrapment or a safety hazard exists, examples of which are shown below and the next 4 pages.
