- Initial Power-Up: Once all connections are secure, restore power to the system.
- Configuration: Follow the specific programming instructions for your Ramset gate operator to configure limits, safety features, and operational parameters.
- Testing: Thoroughly test all gate functions, including open/close cycles, safety reversals, and accessory operations, before putting the gate into service.
Operating Instructions
The Ramset Intelligate Control Board 800-65-61 manages the operation of your gate operator. Once properly installed and configured, the gate system can be operated using various methods, depending on your setup:
- Remote Control: Press the designated button on your remote transmitter to open or close the gate.
- Keypad Entry: Enter your programmed access code on the keypad to activate the gate.
- Intercom/Call Box: Use the intercom system to signal the gate to open.
- Loop Detectors: Vehicles passing over an inductive loop will trigger the gate to open.
- Safety Devices: Photoelectric sensors or safety edges will stop or reverse the gate if an obstruction is detected.
Always ensure the gate path is clear before and during operation. Do not attempt to force the gate manually unless the power is disconnected and the manual release mechanism is engaged.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your gate system. While the control board itself requires minimal maintenance, periodic checks of the overall system are crucial.
Recommended Maintenance Schedule:
- Monthly:
- Test all safety devices (photoelectric sensors, safety edges) for proper function.
- Inspect the gate path for any obstructions.
- Check for smooth gate movement and listen for unusual noises.
- Annually (by a qualified technician):
- Inspect all wiring connections for corrosion or looseness.
- Check the control board for any signs of damage or wear.
- Verify proper voltage supply to the control board.
- Lubricate mechanical parts of the gate operator as per its specific manual.
Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance inside the control box.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter. For complex problems, contact a qualified gate technician.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not respond to commands. | No power; remote battery dead; safety device obstructed; control board fault. | Check power supply; replace remote battery; clear safety device path; inspect control board for visible damage (with power off). |
| Gate opens but does not close. | Safety device obstruction; close limit switch issue; wiring fault. | Check safety devices; inspect close limit switch; verify wiring connections. |
| Gate reverses unexpectedly. | Obstruction detected by safety device; force settings too sensitive. | Clear obstructions; adjust force settings (refer to gate operator manual). |
| Control board indicator lights are off. | No power to the board; blown fuse. | Check main power supply; inspect and replace fuses on the control board (if applicable, with power off). |
