DJUSTMENT

The gate operator is equipped with a built-in automatic timer to close feature.  This feature should be set to the OFF position 
until proper safety and reverse devices have been installed.  CAUTION:  Turning on the Close Time Delay without proper 
safety and reverse devices can cause serious injury, death, and property damage.  The Close Time Delay can be set to from 1 
to 90 seconds.  When active, the Close Time Delay will hold the gate open until the internal timer has timed out and then 
allows the gate to close.  To turn OFF/ON and adjust the Close Time Delay:  

1. To turn OFF the Close Time Delay, move DIP SWITCH 4 to the Left. 

2. To turn ON the Close Time Delay, move DIP SWITCH 4 to the Right. 

3. Turn power Off and back On to reset DIP Switch settings. 

4. Rotate the TIME DELAY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the delay. 

5. Rotate the TIME DELAY adjustment counter-clockwise to DECREASE the 

delay.

The DIP Switches located on the top right face of the controller are used to set several different functions.  This list gives a 
brief description.  The factory setting is in bold print.  Please review each individual section in this manual for more detail.

Function 

Description 

1 Alarm 

OFF

:  Sounds the built-in alarm in shutdown applications only. 

ON:    Beeps while gate is moving.  Sounds the alarm in shutdown applications. 

2 Anti-Tailgate 

OFF

:  Gate opens and closes normal. 

ON:    Uses loops to control vehicles individually. 

Master / Slave 

OFF

:  Operator is set as a Master (Primary). 

ON:    Operator is set as a Slave (Secondary). 

4 Close 

Timer 

OFF

:  Time Delay Close feature is inactive.  Command to open, command to close. 

ON:    Time Delay Close feature is active.  Gate opens, times out, closes. 

Power Fail Cycle / Open 

OFF

:  During power failure, gate will cycle using BBU until batteries are too low to function. 

ON:    During power failure, gate will open and remain open until AC power is restored. 

Open Left / Right 

OFF

:  Opens the gate Left.  (Standing inside looking out at operator) 

ON:    Opens the gate Right. (Standing inside looking out at operator) 

7 Quick 

Close 

OFF

:  Gate opens and closes normal. 

ON:    Gate opens until loops are cleared.  Then closed gate even if gate did not reach full open position.  

Stop (NO / NC) 

OFF

:  Allows a NO Stop Switch to be used.   

ON:    Allows a NC Stop Switch to be used.  Stop Switch must be installed for this setting to be ON. 

9 Battery 

Cycle 

OFF

:  Cycles gate until batteries are too low and stops.  Switch 5 must be OFF. 

ON:    Cycles gate until batteries are too low and then opens gate.  Switch 5 must be OFF. 

10 

Mag / Solenoid Delay 

OFF

:  No delay - activates gate immediately 

ON:    Delays 2 seconds before activating gate.  Allows time for Maglock to discharge. 

11 Tamper 

Detect 

OFF

:  No action - not used on FSW900 

ON:    Activates Tamper Detect Feature - not used on FSW900 

12 Hard 

Start 

OFF

:  Normal Soft Start, Soft Stop mode. 

ON:    Operator starts with 40% motor power for more starting torque.  Normal start = 5% motor power. 

Gently rotate each adjustment.  Turning the 

adjustment POT too hard will break the 

adjustment.
