Diagram: Transformer Wiring

This diagram illustrates the wiring for a transformer-powered gate system. It shows connections for the battery, fuses, power input, motors (Motor A and Motor B), 12V lamp relay, safety beams, light sensor, and a close-only port.

Key Components and Connections:

• Battery: Connected to the control board.
• Fuses: For power protection.
• POWER: Input for the transformer.
• Motors (Motor A, Motor B): Connected via wires (Red, Black, Blue). Specific connections for 'Pull to Open' and 'Push to Open' are detailed for MTA and MTB terminals.
• 12V Lamp Relay: For connecting a lamp.
• Safety Beams (Remove wire): For safety obstruction detection.
• Light Sensor: For ambient light detection.
• Remote Control Receiver Box: Connections for activating gates with remote buttons. Grey & Yellow wires are used for 2 gates ([2SIDE]) or a single gate ([1SIDE]).

Important Notes:

• Warranty is voided if the transformer is hardwired; it must be connected to a physical power point.
• Do not connect both solar and transformer inputs simultaneously.
• The receiver and battery must be kept inside the control box, protected from weather.
• A note advises not to adjust the dial at the top of the board, as it is for battery charging voltage.
• Dip switch settings are referenced on page 28.

Solar Wiring Installation

SINGLE AND DOUBLE WIRING SETUP

Diagram: Solar Wiring

This diagram shows the wiring for a solar-powered gate system. It includes connections for the battery, fuses, power input, regulator, solar panel, motors (Motor A and Motor B), 12V lamp relay, safety beams, light sensor, and a close-only port.

Key Components and Connections:

• Battery: Connected to the control board.
• Fuses: For power protection.
• POWER: Input for the system.
• Regulator: Manages power from the solar panel.
• Solar Panel: Provides power to the system.
• Motors (Motor A, Motor B): Connected via wires (Red, Black, Blue). Specific connections for 'Pull to Open' and 'Push to Open' are detailed for MTA and MTB terminals.
• 12V Lamp Relay: For connecting a lamp.
• Safety Beams (Remove wire): For safety obstruction detection.
• Light Sensor: For ambient light detection.
• Remote Control Receiver Box: Connections for activating gates with remote buttons. Grey & Yellow wires are used for 2 gates ([2SIDE]) or a single gate ([1SIDE]).

Important Notes:

• Do not connect both solar and transformer inputs simultaneously.
• For double gates, gates open together but close one at a time to save battery power.
• The receiver, regulator, and battery must be kept inside the control box, protected from weather.
• A note advises not to adjust the dial at the top of the board, as it is for battery charging voltage.
• Dip switch settings are referenced on page 28.

Control Board - D1

The E8 D1 control board is designed for 12Vdc arm gate motors. It requires minimal maintenance and should be kept dry and insect-free. For optimal performance, mount the control box close to the actuator arm (max 10m cable) using a minimum 0.66mm² electrical cable to prevent voltage drop.

Setting the Dip Switches on the control board:

• [1] ON: Delay sequence for Double-Leaf gate with solenoid lock.
• [1] OFF: Gates open/close simultaneously (DC ONLY).
• [2] ON: Small reverse before opening (for solenoid lock).
• [2] OFF: Gate opens immediately without reverse.
• [3] OFF [4] OFF: Light ON during opening, OFF 1 min. after gate closes.
• [3] ON [4] OFF: Light ON when light sensor detects dark ambient; OFF 1 min. after sensor detects light. (Do not use on solar systems).
• [3] ON [4] ON: Light ON when gate is moving.
• [5] ON: Single Gate Operation (Motor A only).
• [5] OFF: Double Gate Operation (Motor A & Motor B).
• [6] OFF: Not in use.
• [7] OFF [8] OFF: Disable Auto Close.
• [7] OFF [8] ON: 30 sec. Auto Close.
• [7] ON [8] OFF: 60 sec. Auto Close.
• [7] ON [8] ON: 120 sec. Auto Close.

Solar or Battery Power Note: When running on solar or backup battery power, gates open together but close one at a time.

OTHER ACCESSORIES

Long Range Receiver

TO PROGRAM REMOTES TO THE RECEIVER

1. Press and hold the remote button that triggers the opener. Keep it held from step 1 to step 3.
2. Place the jumper over the two LEARN pins on the PC Board for 2 seconds.
3. Remove the jumper from the two pins.
4. Release the button on the remote. The button is now programmed.

TO ERASE ALL REMOTES

1. Place the jumper across the two ERASE pins.
2. The LED will flash 4 times, then stay solid red, indicating remotes are erased.
3. Remove the jumper when the LED is solid.

MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATIONS AND COMMENTS

1. For optimum range, place the receiver at least 2 meters vertically from the gate motor (e.g., top of gate posts).
2. Ensure the cable entry point faces downwards when the receiver is outside the control box to prevent water ingress. The housing is splash-proof but not protected against direct spray. Silicon the cable entry hole to prevent insect infestation.
3. Ensure no wires are exposed outside the receiver.
4. Placing the receiver inside the motor housing may reduce its range.
5. Range can be affected by other signals or interference.
6. Physically number remotes and keep a record when coding multiple remotes.
7. Range is dependent on line of sight and interference.

Photocells/Eyebeams - Wired

INSTALLATION

1. Best installation height: more than 20cm.
2. Installation distance: not less than 1m.
3. The infrared protection device should be placed vertically and in the same horizontal line.
4. Install the receiver first, then the transmitter. When aligned, the OFF light on the receiver should go out.

AVOID DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Diagram: Wired Photocells/Eyebeams

This diagram shows the wiring of wired photocells to the E8 SWING CONTROL BOARD. It involves removing a bridge wire from the control board's IR BEAM Block COM and NC terminals and connecting the photocell's OUT, COM, and power (+/-) terminals.

Keypad - Wired

After wiring, check keypad operation using the factory code 2580. For double gates, follow the 'Double gate setup' procedure. You can enter over 100 pin codes.

We recommend sealing the cable entry hole to prevent insect infestation.

Electric Gate Lock

DOUBLE GATE LOCK SETUP

Diagram: Double Gate Lock Setup

This diagram shows the wiring for an electric gate lock on a double gate system. It indicates that Dip Switches 1 and 2 on the control board must be UP/ON. Power is picked up from available sources (battery, control board, regulator).

Connections are made from the control board (MTB, MTA, LOCK terminals) through a relay to the automatic gate lock.

SINGLE GATE LOCK SETUP

Diagram: Single Gate Lock Setup

This diagram illustrates the wiring for an electric gate lock on a single gate system. Similar to the double gate setup, Dip Switches 1 and 2 on the control board must be UP/ON. Power is sourced from available options, and connections are made to the automatic gate lock.

Other Information

Important Notice

Auto gate systems enhance convenience but do not prevent burglary and are not a substitute for security practices or insurance. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified professionals.

Note to Installers

Installers must inform users about the system's limitations and operational instructions.

Systems Failures

While designed for effectiveness, systems may fail due to circumstances like fire, burglary, or other emergencies. Potential failure points include:

• Inadequate Installation: Proper installation by a security professional is crucial.
• Criminal Knowledge: Security features may be circumvented over time, requiring periodic review and upgrades.
• Power Failure: Control units need adequate power. Battery issues (failure, charging, condition) or AC power interruptions can cause inoperability. Voltage fluctuations during power interruptions can damage equipment. Test the system after power interruptions.
• Failure of Replaceable Batteries: Battery life varies with environment and usage. Low batteries can cause system malfunctions. Regular testing and maintenance are essential.
• Compromise of Radio Frequency (Wireless) Devices: Signals can be affected by metal objects, jamming, or interference.
• Component Failure: Despite efforts for reliability, component failure can occur.
• Inadequate Testing: Regular testing and maintenance are key to preventing problems. Test weekly and after any security incident or environmental event.
