press the button again. Both gates
will move together
9. Sensitivity adjustment (via potentiometers
can be made to increase or decrease the
amount of resistance the gates will
encounter before shutting down. This has
been preset at the factory and should not
need changing. Reasons for changing
would be to overcome extreme wind loads
on large gates or limited resistance on very
small gates. There are two potentiometers
on the control panel, one for each gate.
They are small round discs in the control
box with a screwdriver slot and marked
“GATE 1” and “GATE 2”. (See figure E1)
a. To increase sensitivity, turn the
adjusting screw clockwise
b. To decrease sensitivity, turn the
adjusting screw counter-clockwise
C. Control Box Wiring & Terminal Functions
1. When Wiring items into the terminal block
strip approximately ¼” of insulation from the
wire and cautiously insert the wire below the
terminal screw. Be sure that the screw secures
all wire strands. If some of the strands are not
secured they may cause a malfunction in the
system.
2. There are 18 terminals in the terminal block.
The following describes their function.
a. SOL AC/AC – Input for solar
panel or supplied AC power
transformer. Recommended input
voltage is between 12-volt and 18-
volts at 1ampere. Polarity input is
not critical. USE OF VOLTAGE
HIGHER THAN 18-VOLTS
MAY CAUSE MALFUNCTION.
DO NOT CONNECT 110-VOLT
ELECTRICAL CURRENT TO
PANEL.
b. Battery – This is where the 12-volt
battery is connected. Polarity is
critical. Attach the positive wire to
the “+” side and the negative wire
to the (-) side.
c. Switch – System power switch is
used to turn the system on and off.
It will also reset the system. Upon
power up the system is reset and
will initialize to the gate being
fully closed and locked.
d. CSF (Contact Strip Front of Gate)
– Input for contact safety edge
installed on front of gate.
Activated input will prevent the
gate from closing, and reverse the
gate direction if the gate was
closing.
e. CSB (Contact Strip Back of Gate)
– Input for contact safety edge
installed on back of gate.
Activated input will prevent the
gate from opening, and reverse the
gate direction if the gate was
opening.
f. EMER. VEH. (Emergency
Vehicle Opener) – Input for
emergency vehicle opener.
Activation will open gate.
Continuous activation will prevent
gate from automatically closing.
See your local police, fire, and
emergency response teams for
required usage.
g. EXIT DET. (Exit Detection) –
Input for devices to be used to
only open the gate. Activated
input will start the gate opening
procedure if gate was not moving.
Input while gate is moving will
have no effect.
h. Keypad – Input for wired keypad,
or other fixed input device in sight
of the gate. Activation will
function same as the remote
transmitter
i. STOP (NON-CONTACTING
INPUT) – Input for non-
contacting safety sensors such as
an optical sensor, with a normal
open input. Activated input will
stop gate instantly and return gate
to fully open position.
j. SPARE 12-VOLT – There are
three of these on the terminal
block. These provide access points
for 12_Volt DC power that may be
used to power peripheral
accessories and safety devices.
These terminals
may be left
unused.
CAUTION! Do NOT
connect ANY voltage feed
source to these terminals. Doing
