Next, you can set the fully opened and fully closed
positions for the gate leaf. You may set the limit
switches in either order, but be sure to set both limit
switches.
Caution:
If you have not removed the plastic
tab, you cannot set the limit switches for the
fully opened or fully closed positions.
Set the Opened Limit
Caution:
Before setting a limit switch, verify
that your gate does not exceed the limits for
which your operator is designed. Refer to the
technical data on page 4.
Set the opened limit switch by doing the following.
Move the gate leaf by hand to the fully opened position.
After the gate is in the fully opened position, locate the
FCA and RESET buttons on the control panel. Press the
FCA button and hold it. Then also press the RESET
button. Pressing both buttons, hold them down for a
couple of seconds. Then release only the RESET button
and continue to press down on the FCA button.
You should then hear one click from the panel and see
the ADL status indicator LED blink once. Also, the
FCA LED should go out to further confirm that you
have set the opened limit. Now you can release the FCA
button. You have set the limit switch for the fully
opened position.
If
after
releasing the FCA button and
before
you move
the gate you hear continual clicking and the ADL light
blinks continually, proceed to set the closed limit.
Set the Closed Limit
Caution:
Before setting a limit switch, verify
that your gate does not exceed the limits for
which your operator is designed. Refer to the
technical data on page 4.
To set the closed limit switch, do the following. Move
the gate leaf by hand to the fully closed position. After
you have the gate in the fully closed position, locate the
RESET and FCC buttons on the control panel. Press the
FCC button and hold it down. Then also press the
RESET button. Pressing both buttons, hold them down
for a couple of seconds. Then release only the RESET
button, continuing to press down on the FCC button.
You should then hear one click from the panel and see
the ADL status indicator LED blink once. Also, the
FCC LED should go out to further confirm that the
closed limit has been set. Now you can release the FCC
button. You have now set the limit switch for the fully
closed position.
If
after
releasing the FCC button and
before
you move
the gate you hear continual clicking and the ADL light
blinks continually, proceed to set the opened limit.
Note that you will not need to reset the limit switches if
there is a power failure. The limit switch module
remembers the limit switch settings.
Relocating the Midpoint
Do not relocate the midpoint on your gate unless it is
absolutely necessary. Relocating the midpoint of the
gate leaf's travel is sometimes necessary: when an
especially long gate leaf does not open or close far
enough or when you are installing the operator on a
different gate. An especially long gate leaf makes it
possible to misjudge the midpoint of the leaf's travel.
To relocate the midpoint, disengage the drive of the
operator (turn the Manual Release Lever clockwise)
with the main power on. Then move the gate leaf by
hand until the ADL light illuminates. (The ADL light is
on when the operator is at its midpoint.) Now turn the
main power off so that you can re-install the plastic tab.
WARNING!
Turn the main power off before
you re-install the plastic tab.
To re-install the plastic tab, first turn off the main power
to the operator. Then, reach inside the operator from the
gate leaf side and find the spring-loaded shaft that is
below the Limit Switch Module. Press the spring loaded
shaft away from the gate leaf while you insert the
plastic tab down and over the other end of the shaft.
Release the end of the shaft you were pressing so that it
will grab the plastic tag and thus re-install it. If the shaft
springs back toward the leaf, you have not properly
installed the plastic tab.
Once the plastic tab is re-installed, you can re-establish
the midpoint of the gate's travel as described above.
Then you need to set both the opened and closed limits.
