1. Safety Precautions Installing the YG‐5602/1 Gate Opener requires installation of standard 110V or 230V electrical wiring. This work should only be performed by a trained technician. Mis‐wiring could cause personal injury or DEATH. To prevent the risk of electrocution, be sure to turn off all power to the YG‐ 5602/1 until installation is complete. Please keep hands, fingers and loose clothing away from moving parts as they may be dragged into moving parts. The gate may move at any time. Ensure all persons are clear of the gate when it is moving to avoid the risk of injury. Do not touch the gate while it is in operation. Do not attempt to go through the gate while it is still in motion. This opener is intended for vehicular use only. Do not allow children or pets near your gate. Keep the remote controls away from children. Place controls where they cannot be accessed by reaching through the gate. To avoid electric shock, unplug unit before opening case. Make sure the battery inside the opener is charged fully before using. Before installation, the clutch should be unlocked. The auto‐reverse function must be checked during installation to ensure that the gate can auto‐reverse in the event of obstruction, and it should be inspected regularly. The automatic gate opener must be grounded. Install the gate opener on the inside of the property; DO NOT install it on the outside of the property where the public has access to it! Additional safety equipment such as photoelectric sensors, safety edges, roller guards and warning signs must be installed to prevent injury. In the event of power failure, an emergency release key allows you to operate the gate manually. ...

8. Electrical Installation CONTROL BOX DIAGRAM 8.1 ‐ Connecting the AC Power The control box should be equipped with a single‐phase breaker (15A). Make sure that the power is OFF before making any electrical connections. Remove the cover of the control box, perform the wiring and replace the cover again. Wire your AC line into the AC IN terminal at the top of the control box near the transformer. Wire the ground (usually green) to the terminal on the left. Wire the hot (usually black) wire to the middle terminal. Wire the neutral (usually white) wire to the terminal on the right. Verify that all electrical connections are waterproof by installing electrical outlets into exterior grade boxes with waterproof covers. Make sure that whenever an electrical connecter enters or exits a box it is sealed. If using solar, verify that all connections are waterproof. Please Note the system cannot execute the learning mode (remote control) by battery power only. Once your breaker is activated, the LED should light. ...
8.2 ‐ Wiring the Battery (see Fig.7b) Inside the control box, connect the red battery lead to ‘BAT+’ terminal of control board, and black battery lead to ‘BAT‐’. Use terminal J8 for the battery. Battery RED WIRE TO POSITIVE+ BLACK WIRE TO POSITIVE- Figure 7b.

After the LED light is turned off, the receiver module will go back to the “normal mode” and the system can be operated normally. ...
10. External Interfaces 10.1 ‐ Keypad/ Button Switch The YG‐5602 is equipped with an interface for an external switch or keypad. The interface type is a NO (Normally Open) momentary switch to ground. To activate the opener, the keypad or other device must short the ‘GND’(12) and ‘Push Button 2’(10) terminals momentarily on Box J4. This type of switch is very common. To install the device, attach one lead of your keypad to the ‘Push Button (10)’ terminal and the other to the ‘GND’ (12) terminal. If your keypad requires 12Volts DC, then you can connect the 12V+ to (9) and the –V DC to (12). The keypad will function in single channel mode just like the RF remote. If the gate is closed, then activating the keypad will open the gate. If the gate is open, then activating the keypad will close the gate. If the gate is moving, then activating the keypad will stop the gate. Consult your device manufacturer’s documentation for details. The keypad device can be obtained through your dealer. To find a dealer, go to www.gatekeeperltd.com/dealers 10.2 ‐ Loop detector A magnetic loop detector detects vehicles that are within proximity to the gate. A magnetic loop detector can be used to open the gate when a car pulls up either from the inside or the outside depending on which side of the gate you install it. A magnetic loop is usually buried under the ground, and the wires run to the gate opener control board. Magnetic loops usually require DC power, using the + and – DC terminals. Connect the 12V+ to (9) and the –V DC to (12). They provide a normally open momentary switch interface to the control board and its ground or common interface. Wire the magnetic loop’s normally open trigger wire to terminal (10) and the normally open ground or common to GND (12) both on block J4. Consult your device manufacturer’s documentation for details. See Figure 4 for a diagram of external interface connections. The Loop Detector device can be obtained through your dealer. To find a dealer, go to www.gatekeeperltd.com/dealers ...
10.3 ‐ Safe guard (Infrared device or Photocell) It is recommended that the installer install the included infrared photocell for additional safety. Photocells work by inhibiting the movement of the gate if the beam is broken. Infrared safety devices may be required by law in some areas. If the infrared beam is broken during closing, the gates will reverse and open immediately. During opening, the beeper will ring. Infrared photocells come in active and passive varieties. Active photocells require power on both sides of the driveway, whereas passive photocells employ a reflector plate so that power is only required on one side of the driveway. Most photocells will provide DC power input wires + and ‐, and 2 normally closed switch wires. To install the photocell, remove the short circuit wire between Terminals (14) and (15). Attach the normally closed wire to (14) and the other common normally closed wire to (15) (COM). Attach the +12VDC power for the photocell to (13) and the –DC power to (15). The signal wires are not polarized so they can be interchanged without issue, but the power wires must be wired correctly to prevent damage. Consult your device manufacturer’s documentation for details. In the closing phase, if an obstacle breaks the infrared beam of the photocell, then the gate will stop and reverse after approx 3 seconds. In the opening phase, the function of the photo sensor can be selected between active or passive. If the photo sensor is set for the active mode, and the infrared beam is broken, then the system will stop and wait for a new command. The infrared device is included in your kit, additional devices can be obtained through your dealer. To find a dealer, go to www.gatekeeperltd.com/dealers ...

12. Auto-reverse function It is very important that you tune the safety reverse function on your gate opener. Power the control box if it is not already and verify that you have completed the remote programming exercise and self learning. When properly adjusted, the gate should close and stop when it hits the stop block without overly forcing the gate, and reverse if it strikes an object before it reaches its stop. An alarm should sound if it activates the auto‐reverse. Use a screw driver to rotate the Over Current Adj. knob. Rotating clockwise will increase the resistance needed to trip the safety reverse function. Rotating counter‐ clockwise will decrease the resistance. If the gate does not move when activated, or auto‐reverses without striking an obstacle, then the resistance setting may be too little. If the gate does not stop when an obstruction is placed in its path, then the setting may be too high. Start with just above the minimum value, and tune it to use the minimum setting for which the gate will function. WARNING: Do not attempt to tune the gate by placing your hand, arm or other body part in the path of the gate. This could result in serious injury. Also placing a heavy immovable object in the path to test with could cause damage to the gate opener motors. Instead, place a light object in the path, preferably something like a chair or trash can which will be pushed out of the way if the setting is still too high without causing damage to the gate motors. Note, this auto‐reverse function should be regularly inspected and adjusted if necessary. Once this step is complete, replace the cover and install the rubber caps over the screws. OVER CURRENT SENSITIVITY: The limit of Over‐Current can be adjusted from Min 3.5Amp to Max 7 Amp. ...
13. Auto‐close function This feature can be selected to make the gate stay open for some time before it automatically closes, The auto‐close time can be adjusted to 12, 25, or 50 seconds. AUTO CLOSE1: The function of auto close or without auto close can be selected AUTO CLOSE2: The function of auto close or without auto close can be selected DIP4 (Auto close1) DIP5 (Auto close2) Function OFF Without auto close function OFF Auto close On, waiting time 50 seconds ON Auto close On, waiting time 25 seconds ON Auto close On, waiting time 12 seconds ...
SLOW DOWN SPEED: The final speed can be set when the gate is moving at slow‐down speed ON: The final speed = 55% normal speed. OFF: The final speed = 70% normal speed. Pedestrian Start Feature: The System can open only one side of the gate for pedestrian traffic: For a dual gate, connect the motor cables for both terminals J1 & J2. Press the green button of the transmitter to activate Pedestrian Start. For single gate, connect the motor cable for terminal J1 only. Press the black button of transmitter to activate Pedestrian Start. 15. Operation Notes on the Gate Opener System When the gate is travelling at normal speed, if the motor encounters an over current condition (because of obstruction), the gate will stop immediately in opening phase but for the closing phase, the gate will stop and reverse back for approx. 2 sec. If any command (transmitter, keypad or photocell or other abnormal case) interrupts the leaf’s motion before it moves to the end of travel, the gate can only be operated with slow down speed for the rest of the cycle. The function is guaranteed for the maximum safety during the operation. Kickback / extra–push This is usually employed to help the electric lock insertion and release during bad weather conditions (wind, ice, etc.). ...
