Installation and Setup
Safety First: Before beginning any installation or replacement, ensure that the power supply to the gate opener system is completely disconnected. Failure to do so may result in electric shock or damage to the equipment.
- Preparation: Carefully remove the old control board from its housing. Note the position and connection of all wires before disconnecting them. Taking photos can be helpful.
- Replacement: Install the new TOPENS EKPKMJ1B control board into the designated slot. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Wiring: Reconnect all wires to their corresponding terminals on the new board. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in your specific TOPENS gate opener manual for accurate connections. Pay close attention to power, motor, and accessory connections.
- DIP Switch Settings: The board features DIP switches (labeled "ON DIP" in the image) for configuring various operational parameters. Consult your gate opener's instruction manual to set these switches correctly for your specific gate type and desired functions (e.g., auto-close, soft stop).
- Initial Power-Up: Once all connections are secure and DIP switches are set, restore power to the gate opener system.
- Testing: Perform initial tests of the gate's open and close functions. Adjust any settings as needed according to your gate opener's manual.
For detailed wiring diagrams and specific programming instructions, always refer to the comprehensive manual provided with your TOPENS A5(S), A8(S), A5131, A8131, AT6131(S), or AT12131(S) swing gate opener.
Operation
The EKPKMJ1B control board is an integral part of your TOPENS swing gate opener system. Its operation is directly controlled by the gate opener's remote controls, keypads, or other access devices. The board processes these commands to control the gate motor(s).
- Indicators: The board includes LED indicators (e.g., POWER, FULL, CODE) that provide visual feedback on the system's status. Refer to your gate opener manual for the meaning of each indicator.
- Control Buttons: Small push buttons (e.g., AUTO CLOSE, SOFT STOP) are present on the board for direct configuration or testing. These are typically used during initial setup or troubleshooting.
For specific operational procedures, including remote control programming and setting gate limits, please consult the user manual for your complete TOPENS swing gate opener system.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable performance of your control board and gate opener system.
- Keep Dry: Ensure the control board's enclosure remains sealed and dry to prevent moisture damage.
- Cleanliness: Periodically inspect the board for dust or debris accumulation. If necessary, gently clean with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. Do not use liquids.
- Connection Check: Annually, or if issues arise, inspect all wire connections to the board to ensure they are secure and free from corrosion.
- Fuse Inspection: The board contains a fuse (labeled "Fuse in the holder") for circuit protection. If the gate opener loses power unexpectedly, check this fuse. Replace it only with a fuse of the identical type and rating.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your gate opener system after installing the EKPKMJ1B control board, consider the following general troubleshooting steps:
- No Power: Verify the main power supply to the gate opener. Check the fuse on the control board.
- Gate Not Responding: Ensure all wiring connections are secure. Check remote control batteries. Verify DIP switch settings are correct.
- Erratic Behavior: Re-check all wiring and DIP switch configurations against your gate opener's manual.
- Refer to Gate Opener Manual: For specific error codes or detailed diagnostic procedures, always consult the troubleshooting section of your TOPENS swing gate opener's main instruction manual.
If problems persist after following these steps and consulting your gate opener manual, contact TOPENS technical support for assistance.
