D. Features and Adjustments
1. Dipswitches can be adjusted to make some
additional functionality. Switching the
dipswitches should be done with a sharp
wooden lead pencil. An automatic close
feature can be created by dipswitch
adjustment as shown below (figure AF1).
This will have the gate close after a
specified period of time being open.
a. Dipswitch # 4 will make the gates
open simultaneously or
sequentially. When in the
sequential mode the first gate will
move about 5-7 seconds prior to
the second gate If only one gate is
used this switch should be closed
for simultaneous operation.
Double drive systems with a
power bolt lock may use either
method. If the double drive system
has a magnetic lock the switch
must be in the open position for
sequential operation.
b. Dipswitch #5 will select the power
bolt activation when in the closed
position and the magnetic lock
when in the open position.
c. Dipswitch #6 will disable the
power bolt lock in the closed
position. This switch must be in
the open position to have either
the power bolt or the magnetic
lock enabled
2. Low voltage (12-volt) lights can be wired
into the control panel. There is a terminal
marked for lights. The lights will turn on
when the system is activated. Lights will
remain on for approximately 30 seconds
after the cycle is completed.
3. The Power Bolt Lock is designed to close 4
seconds after the gate close cycle is
complete. The gate open cycle will also not
begin till the power bolt has unlocked.
Polarity is critical for the power lock.
a. Wires must be run through the
gate to the location that the Power
Bolt Lock is to be attached. Holes
have been predrilled for wire. This
is easiest to accomplish prior to
hanging the gate. (see figure ML2)
b. Before attaching the lock to the
gate extend the bolt by touching
the lead wire to the bolt to a 12-
volt power source. Reverse the
wires if the bolt does not extend
on first contact. Lay the lock with
the bolt extended on the ground.
c. Be sure the dipswitches are set so
that the bolt lock is functional and
enabled (Switch #5 closed and
switch # 6 open).
d. Activate the gates. The bolt should
retract before the gates begin
moving and extend 4 seconds after
the gates fully close.
e. If the bolt activation is not correct
in this sequence, reverse the bolt
lock wires on the terminal and try
again. When the bolt lock is in
sync with the gates attach the bolt
to the gate. If wires are
disconnected when the bolt lock is
attached note where each wire was
attached on the terminal and return
them to the same terminal.
