Page 21
Power Mode 3 Use AC Electricity Only The specification of the power cord is 2C×0.75mm (18AWG). Connect the live wire (black) and neutral wire (white) of the power cord to the “AC-INPUT L” “AC-INPUT N” terminals of the control board, respectively.
Connection between the Master and Slave Gate Opener In a dual gate opener system, the slave gate opener is controlled by the master gate opener. To enable communication between them, connect the slave gate opener to the master gate opener using a 2-core shielded twisted-pair wire, minimum wire size is 2C x 0.5mm (20AWG).
WARNING Before operating your gate opener, ensure that the Left / Right Open setting on the control board matches the opening direction of the gate. If the opener is installed on the left side of the driveway and the gate opens to left, set the opener to Left Open.
B functions the same as button A. Buttons C and D can be programmed separately to operate additional sliding gate openers by adding extra ERM12 External Receivers (available on the TOPENS website www.topens.com) to each control board, allowing for standard operation without midway mode.
WARNING Before making any adjustments, disengage the clutch of the gate opener to prevent the gate from moving unexpectedly. Ensure that the lower magnet bracket is always positioned on the left side and the higher magnet bracket on the right side when viewed from inside the property. Leave some space at both ends of the gate for proper buffering.
Page 26
For Right Open Gate Adjusting the Open Limit Position Use the remote control to open the gate. If the gate stops halfway and fails to get to the desired open position, disengage the clutch. Use an adjustable wrench to loosen the screw of the lower (left) magnet.
WARNING Ensure that the gate opener is powered off when making any adjustments. Keep away from the gate while setting up the gate opener system to avoid unexpected gate movement. Carefully adjust the DIP switches to prevent the risk of damaging the gate opener and causing injury or death.

Potentiometer B: Adjust the Open and Close Stall Force of the Gate Opener Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the stall force, and counterclockwise to decrease ...
Fine Tune the Stall Force This force should be high enough to ensure the gate reaches both open and close limits without reversing unnecessarily or causing frequent interruptions, but low enough to prevent injury if an obstruction is encountered. The appropriate stall force settings depend on the gate's length and weight, so fine-tuning may be required.

Step 2 Check Photocell Sensor Function: If a photocell sensor is used as a secondary entrapment prevention device, ensure its beam is not blocked.
Page 45
Symptom Possible Solution(s) Step 1 Confirm Magnet Installation: Ensure that the lower magnet is positioned on the left side and the higher magnet on the right side when viewed from inside the property. Step 2 Verify Magnet Position: Check if the magnet has been installed incorrectly.
Page 46
Symptom Possible Solution(s) Step 1 Check DIP Switch Setting: Set DIP Switch #8 to ON for a left-opening gate and OFF for a right-opening gate. Step 2 Verify Magnet Position: Check if the limit switch is properly sensed by the closing magnet when the gate is fully closed. Adjust the Midway mode function magnet's position to ensure accurate sensing.
