SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING PRIMARY & SECONDARY
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION
This unit is equipped with one (1) INTERNAL means of entrapment protection. (SEE UL 325 SECTION 30A)
Gate Operator shall provide one (1)
INTERNAL (INHERENT) AND one (1) EXTERNAL entrapment feature.
INTERNAL :
(TYPE A) – Inherent entrapment sensing systems – operator will reverse direction when the inherent TYPE A
device senses an obstruction.
EXTERNAL:
(TYPE B1) – Provision for connection of a non-contact sensor (Photoelectric or equivalent)
(TYPE B2)— Provision for connection of a contact sensor (Edge devise or equivalent).
NOTE : Unit ships with S1-6 ON & S1-8 OFF. DO NOT change these settings (see page 12 for illustration).
PRIMARY PROTECTION
-
TYPE A INHERENT PROTECTION:
The unit will reverse direction when an obstruction is sensed while moving either direction. Sensitivity is
adjusted at the IRD1 on the control board while closing. If an obstruction is sensed by the primary inherent
sensor, the gate will reverse and open to the full open position. The gate will remain open until a close
command is received or will close by timer (if activated) after a new input is received. In order for the gate to
close by timer, a new input on the terminals J5-1-8 must be given. If an input is still present when the gate HAS
reached the full open position, this input will need to be renewed or removed and another input given before
the close timer will close the gate.
ENTRAPMENT ALARM:
Will activate upon the primary inherent sensor sensing a second obstruction before reaching a limit switch.
Once activated, the gate will remain at rest and an alarm will sound. The alarm can only be cleared by an input
applied to J5#4. The wiring used to reset the operator
MUST be in the line of sight and MUST be an
“INTENDED” reset. Access control devices of any kind that require an intended activation may be
used for this reset. Devices that will cause an incidental reset should not be used, these include;
vehicle detectors, probes, timers, motion sensors, photo beams. Turning off the DC battery power
AND turning off the AC power at the GFCI service outlet will also reset the control board.
WARNING!
FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS REQUIREMENT MAY RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
