Important Safety Instructions Important Safety Instructions To ensure the safety of people, it is important that you read all the following ATTENTION instructions. Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the product could cause serious harm to people. The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last person on the site that can ensure that the operator is safely installed, and that the whole system can be operated safely.
General Description General Description The Vector operator has been designed to safely and cost-effectively automate a wide variety of swing gates, from single light domestic swing gates to heavy industrial double swing gates. The fail-safe and fully redundant position and collision detection system has been designed and tested to set the standard in safety of operation and to provide an unparalleled level of reliability and durability in operation.

Site Considerations Site Considerations In order to ensure a reliable and durable installation thought should be given to: Strength of the pillar For reliable operation it is important to ensure that the way the operator is secured to the wall takes into account the strength of the pillar, the size of the gate, and how frequently the gate would be used: High security kit together with a...

Operator Installation Operator Installation 1. Determine gate opening angle and direction of operator (inward or outward). CLOSED Alternatively the swing angle can be deter- mined more accurately with the process detailed on page 45. 120° 60° 70° 110° 100° 90° 80° 2.
4. Secure the bracket to the wall with the most appropriate means. It is critical that the wall bracket is securely mounted. See page 14 for site considerations. Determine the gate bracket position Start with the operator fully retracted. Turn out the actuator tube one or two turns. 5.
Page 19
Unlock the operator and swing the gate closed. 9. Remove the pin and the operator from the bracket, check that there are at least one or two turns of the actuator before it is fully extended. If it becomes obvious that the operator does not have enough stroke, reduce either the A or B distances by moving the wall bracket.
12. Fit operator, gate bracket pins and snap rings As an alternative to the snap ring, fit a padlock. Adjust origin clamp (NB - Not required for outward swinging gates) 13.Unlock the operator and open the gate fully. 14. Slide the origin clamp along the actuator tube, right up to the operator.

Electrical Set-up Electrical Set-up WARNING 1. Always check that the isolator in the mains supply to the gate is in the OFF position, before doing any work. 2. Ensure that all low voltage systems (Less than 42.4V) are suitably protected from damage, by disconnecting all sources of power such as chargers and batteries before doing any work.

How to set up additional features How to set up additional features on the Vector Controller on the Vector Controller Figure 10 provides the full menu of features that can be set up on the system. Explanation of each Figure 10 provides the full menu of features that can be set up on the system. Explanation of each feature is provided in the section “CONTROLLER FEATURES”.
Controller Features Controller Features § Refer to Table 1 on page 39 for Schedule of Factory Defaults for each feature described below. SAFETY (COLLISION FORCE) - MENU 2 MTRM/S COLLISION FORCE If the gate is obstructed, the internal collision circuitry will activate. The response of the system to a collision will vary, depending on the Operating Standard (eg CE, UL325) selected.

AUTO-CLOSE ON OPEN - will automatically close the gate if it has reached the fully open. AUTO-CLOSE ON PARTLY OPEN - will automatically close the gate if it is stopped while opening, but before the reaching the fully opened position. AUTO-CLOSE ON PARTLY CLOSED - will automatically close the gate if it is stopped while closing, but before reaching the fully closed position.

RAMP DOWN DISTANCE Sets the ramp-down distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when stopping. This setting applies to both motors. CRAWL DISTANCE Sets the final crawl distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when reaching an endpoint. This setting applies to both motors. PUSH FORCE LIMIT Sets the maximum push force delivered by the motors.

PEDESTRIAN OPENING – MENU 7 This feature is associated with the PED input on the controller. When activating this input, the system will open one of the gates (selectable in a double swing gate installation) to the pedestrian open position, and then automatically close after the pedestrian auto-close time lapses. The gate will open only after the adjustable pre-opening delay time.

It can also be turned on for the same timed period by momentarily connecting the LIT input to COM.(eg activating a pushbutton connected to these terminals) Via the same pushbutton connected across LIT and COM, it can also be turned ON permanently by application of an impulse longer than 3 seconds.

Installation Handover Installation Handover Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is important for the installer to explain the operation and safety requirements of the system. NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE AN AUTOMATED GATE. Even if the user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how to SAFELY operate it.
