INSTALL THE GATE OPERATOR ONLY WHEN:
•
The operator is appropriate for the construction of the gate and the usage
Class of the gate,
•
All exposed pinch points are eliminated or guarded,
•
The operator is intended for installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must supplied with a separate access opening,
•
The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is
supplied between the gate and adjacent structures when opening and
closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open
into public access areas,
•
The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior

to the installation of the gate operator. Do not over-tighten the operator
clutch or presure relief valve to compensate for a damaged gate.
FOR GATE OPENERS WITH HOLD-TO-RUN CONTROL:
•
The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view
of the gate area when the gate is moving,
•
A sign with the message "WARNING" must be positioned near the
controls. The characters for the writing should be at least 6.4 mm high.
The following statement should also be indicated: "Moving Gate Has the
Potential of Inflicting Injury or Death - Do Not Start Gate Unless Path is
Clear".
•
An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similare
device) shall not be employed
•
No other activation device shall be connected.
Controls must be far enough from the gate so that the user is prevented
from coming in contact with the gate while operating the controls. controls
intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the
entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line-of-sight
of the gate. Outdoor or easly accesible controls shall have a security feature
to prevent unauthorized use.
All warnings signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area
of the gate.
FOR GATE OPENERS PROVIDED WITH SENSOR FOR CONTACT-FREE
DETECTION:
•
See instructions on the placement of non contact sensor for each type
of application,
•
Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as
when a vheicle, trips the sensor while the gate is still moving, and
•
One or more non-contact sensor shall be located where the risk of
entrapment or obstruction exist, such as the perimeter reachable by a
moving gate.
FOR GATE OPENERS PROVIDED WITH CONTACT DETECTION (RUBBER
EDGE OR SIMILAR):
•
On or more contact sensor shall be located at the pinch point of a vehicular
vertical pivot gate.
•
A hardwired contact sensor shall be located and its wiring arranged so
that the communication between the sensor and the gate operator is not
subjected to mechanical damage.
•
A wireless contact sensor such as one that transimts radio frequency
(RF) signals the gate operator for entrapment protection functions shall
be located where the transimission of the signals are not obscrtucted or
impeded y building structure, natural landscaping or similar obstruction.
A wireless contact sensor shall function under the intended end-use
conditions.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNINGS: to reduce the risk of injury or death:
•
Read and follow all instructions.
•
Never let children operate or play with gate control. Keep the remote
control away from children.
•
Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD
CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
•
Test the gate operator montly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with
a rigid object activates the non-contact sensor. After adjusting the force
or the limit of travel, reset the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest
the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.
•
Use the emergency realease only when the gate is not moving.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the owners manual.
•
Have a qualified service person make repairs to gate hardware.
•
The entrance is for veichles only. Pedestrians must use separate entran-
ce.
•
Save these instructions.
1) General outline
This control unit with microprocessor has been designed to control one or
two motors with a power up to 375 W.
The control unit is equipped with Dip-switches and trimmers which allow the
configuration and calibration of the unit respectively.
The functions of the Dip-switches and trimmers as well as the effects ge-
nerated by the alteration to the initial setting are described in the following
paragraphs while their arrangement on the board is shown in the diagram
of figure 1.
To facilitate maintenance and replacement operations, the board features
a removable terminal board with 40 terminals. The wiring diagram of the
board is shown in figure 2.
