IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS. Installation should be performed by a professional installer. Required welding should be performed by a qualified welder. Should electricity be required, use a certified electrician only. Any device that requires 120 Volts AC should be U.L.
APPLICATIONS The H12-ETL-1K Swing Gate Operator is designed to handle a swing gate up to 10 feet in total length and 400 pounds. Apollo Operators are available only through qualified dealers with an out- standing reputation in the fence and gate industry. These dealers will be able to recommend the prop- er equipment for particular applications.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST The following check list should be used before beginning installation: Verify that the proper operator has been selected for this application. Verify proper installation and operation of the gate. 1. Are the hinges serviceable? 2. Does the gate swing free and level? 3.

4 - OUTPUTS & INPUTS Commercial Gate Operator Accessory Out- puts: OUT1 and OUT2: Individual, isolated relays provide COMMON, NORMALLY OPEN, and NORMALLY CLOSED dry contacts for switch- ing accessories based on programming of the “Auxiliary IO” function. These outputs are pro- grammed in the “FUNCTION Auxiliary I/O”...
4.1 - Gate Operator Accessory Inputs (Continued) Guard Station Open: (34) Dry contact input for a guard station open switch. Momentarily shorting the digital input to GND opens the gate to the full open position with the subsequent auto-close feature enabled.
4.2.2 - Programming the plug-in receiver and remote controls SMXI/A Plugin Receiver: The SMXI/A 433Plug-In Receiver provides up to 15 channels for specific control of individual gate functions. The receiver includes built-in programming functions for adding or removing Nice FloR/A wireless remote con- trols to/from a gate installation.
4.2.3 - OVIEW REMOTE CONTROL OVIEW (see page 6 for Picture of OVIEW) Programming and diagnostic unit which connects directly to the gate controller and is part of the Nice “Opera” control system. The unit can be used in “stand-alone” mode via its front-panel keypad, or it may be accessed via a Bluetooth or cellular-enabled PDA, PC, or Smartphone when used with the O-View Software Suite.
6 - OPTIONAL INPUTS/OUTPUTS 6.1 - Fire dept. connection 32 FIRE 33 GND Dry contact input for a fire department control switch. Normally Open (NO) contact must be shorted to ground through a switch to open the gate. Figure 25 - FIRE DEPT. INPUT 6.2 - Exit and edge inputs wiring diagram 28 EDGE 29 GND...
6.4 - Magnetic lock connection 7 NC 8 Com (Common) 9 NO 10 GND 11 V+ This connection is used to install the magnetic lock. In this instance a gate can be locked magnetically to prevent a forced opening. Consult lock manual for specifics on installation and wiring.
9 - ACCESSORIES AND SENSORS EXTERNAL ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION: Non-contact and contact sensors must be installed individually or in combination with each other to provide external entrapment protection. Care should be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehi- cle trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and one or more non-contact sensors shall be located where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists, such as the perim- eter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.
10 - BOARD DIAGRAM Figure 32 - GENERAL BOARD OVERVIEW THE PROGRAMMING BUTTONS INDICATED IN THE ABOVE REFERENCE SHOULD BE USED ONLY AFTER UNDERSTANDING THE MANUAL AND ITS RELATION TO THE PROGRAMMING SEQUENCES SHOWN ON THE FOLLOWING PAGES. CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN WHENEVER CHANGES ARE IMPLEMENTED TO ENSURE PROPER FUNCTIONALITY AND SAFETY.
11 - PROGRAMMING BUTTONS 11.1 - Force Static: Set sensitivity to constant force on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the most sensitive). Dynamic: Set sensitivity of sudden impact force to the moving gate on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being most sensitive).
11.5 - Function Learn: Puts the gate operator into learning mode for a Swing or Slide gate and Blue BUS peripherals. Learning mode for a Swing or Slide style gate involves selecting the gate type (Light, Average, Heavy), then fully opening and closing the gate to sense the limits. Selecting the gate type selects precalculated values for the FORCE, SPEED, and ACCELERATION settings.

16 - APOLLO H12-ETL-1K PROGRAMMING QUICK START Learning H12-ETL-1K Actuator 1. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors, Loops and other safety devices. 2. Disengage the mechanical release and move the gate manually (with your hands) to ensure that the gate travels to the fully open and fully closed positions with no binding or problems.
18 - INSTALLATION CHECKLIST Left box is for installer check off and the right box is for customer check off. 1. The gate has been checked to make sure it is level and moves freely in both di- rections. 2. Potential pinch areas have been guarded so as to be inaccessible OR have con- tact and/or non-contact obstruction sensing devices installed.
