Warning

ONLY A QUALIFIED EXPERIE CED GATE TECHNICIAN SHOULD INSTALL, MAINTAIN OR SERVICE THIS OR ANY GATE OPERATOR

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING -To reduce the risk of injury or death:

READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
Never let children operate or play with gate controls. Keep the remote control away from children.

Always keep people and objects away from the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.
Test the gate operator monthly. The gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object or stop when an object activates the non-contact sensors. After adjusting the force or the limit of travel, retest the gate operator. Failure to adjust and retest the gate operator properly can increase the risk of injury or death.

Use the emergency release only when the gate is not moving.
KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED. Read the user’s manual. Have only qualified service persons make repairs to gate hardware.
The entrance is for vehicles only. Pedestrians must use separate entrances.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

ENTRAPMENT & SAFETY PROTECTION

WARNING

ALL ENTRAPMENT AREAS NEED TO BE PROTECTED BY A MONITORED ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICE.

Every slide gate operator requires a minimum of 2 entrapment protection devices in both directions. One m each direction is covered by the enherent ERD system (Type A).
Therefore, at least one additional photo eye, edge sensor or equivalent is required to be added, by the installer, in each direction.
Since every installation is different, it is up to a qualified, trained technician to make sure that ALL entrapment areas are protected by an entrapment protection device.
It is also up to a qualified, trained technician to determine what types and how many devices are needed.
A Maximum of 10 monitored entrapment devices may be connected to your operator, depending on direction of travel and type of device.
Horizontal slide
Entrapment protection types A, B1, B2 or D

Note – The same type of device shall not be utilized for both entrapment protection means.

Type A	Inherent entrapment protection system.
Type B1	Non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or the equivalent).
Type B2	Contact sensor (edge device or the equivalent).
Type D	Actuating device requiring continuous pressure to maintain opening or closing motion of the gate.

Minimum Quantity of Entrapment Protection Means
	Opening	Closing
Horizontal Slide Gate	2*	2*

“The Inherent ERO System (Type A) counts as 1 entrapment protection device in each direction. Therefore, a minimum of one more exterior entrapment protection device (type B1 or B2) needs to be installed in each direction.

tf both ‘A’ 4 & ‘A’ 5 are in the up position then there will be a closed contact on the con/pre warn outputs for 3 seconds before and as the motor is running.

DIP SWITCH ‘B’

DIP SWITCH ‘C’

Type D device -A pushbutton or equivalent that required a maintained pressure for activation.

For gale operators utilizing Type D protection:

The gate operator controls must be placed so that the user has full view of the gate area when the gate is moving,
The placard as required by UL3.25 – 62.1.6 shall be placed adjacent to the controls.
An automatic closing device (such as a timer, loop sensor, or similar device) shall not be employed, and
No other activation device shall be connected.

PUSHBUTTONS

E.P. LEARN

Monitored Entrapment Protection Learn Button

Activates the monitored entrapment protection learning process. This button is to be pressed after the entrapment protection devices are connected to the board. During this process, the LEDs will blink. The processor will check for devices connected. Once this process is complete, the LEDs will return to normal operation and the processor will monitor for the
‘learned’ devices connected. (For further information, see the Entrapment Protection section of this manual.)

SLOW LEARN

Sets gate travel for slow stop feature Used during initial setup. After setting the limit switches, push and hold this button for 2 • 3 seconds. The gate will open to the open limit, stop, and then close to the closed limit. This sets up the gate travel, which in turn, allows the control board to know where the gate is at all times.

ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DIP SWITCHES & PLUGS

DIP SWITCH ‘D & E’

LOGIC BOARD PLUGS

REV LOOP • Used to stop the gate from closing. Holds the gate open when maintained. This is a non-monitored connection. Monitored devices should be connected to the entrapment protection plugs.
FIREBOX• Used to open the gate for emergency vehicles. Requires a maintained signal. Overrides all safety devices.
ONLY USE FOR EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
EXIT • Used to open the gate and/or hold the gate open.
PHANTOM • Used to hold the gate open when it’s on the open limit. Once the gate starts to close this has no effect. Works with a loop detector or photo eye to cover the area that the gate travels over.
RADIO – Used to open, stop and close the gate. Full control.
INSIDE DET – Stops a swing gate from hitting an obstruction when opening. When triggered, the gate will stop and wait until the detector is cleared. Once the detector is cleared, the gate will continue to open.
MAG/SOL – Used with a magnetic lock or solenoid. See dip switch ’84’. This is a relay output. A seperate transformer or power source is needed to work with this connection.
- MAG: The relay is closed when the gate is closing or closed.
- SOL: The relay is closed for 3 seconds as it begins to open, then releases.
SEC XCOM • 3-wire conductor, preferably shielded, used to communicate between the primary and secondary units.
