A photo electric cell may be fitted to detect obstructions in the path of the Gate.  The Light Industrial 
Operators will check for obstructions during the closing cycle only.  If an obstruction is encountered the 
gates will reverse to the open position. 
If the Automatic Close mode is set the gates will remain open or return to the open position until the 
obstruction is cleared. 

 

Wires for the photo electric cell should be attached to the appropriate connection block (Figure 12)

This may occur for several reasons:- 

 

The first thing to check is the battery in the transmitter.  Power may be low even if the transmitter light 
or buzzer is functioning. 

 

The antenna wire may be damaged or not fully extended. 

 

Another cause is interference from external radio sources (electric fences, baby monitors, other local 
transmitters).  Here the best solution is to remove the external source.  If this is not possible, the problem 
may sometimes be solved by using special frequency transmitters and a matching receiver.  These may 
be ordered through your supplier.

A spanner is provided to disconnect the operators and allow manual operation of the gates.  The spanner is 
used to unscrew the bolt on the output shaft of the unit.  There is no need to fully remove the bolt as it is 
loosened the arm will drop away and allow the gate to swing freely.

NSECTS

 

The Light Industrial Operators have been designed to minimise infestation by insects.  Additional protection 
is recommended by spraying of a Surface Spray to the area surrounding the unit every 3 months.

UBRICATION

 

The gears and shafts are greased on assembly.  They should not require further lubrication during their 
service life.
