ENTRAPMENT INPUTS

 Check if AC POWER ON/OFF SWITCH (on MAX toroid box) is ON.

 Check if power cable is plugged into back of MC-200 “Power In” input.

 Check wiring between Matrix 1 RS4

5 (+,-, gnd) and MC-200 RS4

8

5 (+,-, gnd) terminals. Connect [(+) to 

  (+)], [(-) to (-)] and [GND to GND].

 Check if limit switches are plugged into MC-200 “LIMIT SWITCH” input on back.

 Check if gate is binding against catch post or bracket in opened or closed position.

 Check if gate moves manually with low resistance throughout its full range of motion.

 Check if chain is installed inline with idle wheels in both OPEN and CLOSED positions.

 Gate may be too heavy for operator (check manual for maximum gate weight for your model operator).

 An entrapment event has occurred, check an entrapment sensor was triggered (see if ERD, EDGE 1, EDGE 2, or 

  PHOTOCELL LED is on).

 An ERD event may have occurred. Check for gate obstruction.

 ERD sensitivity is too high for application. Re-adjust ERD setting on MC-200, (see     ).

 Sensor on EDGE 1 input (photocell or edge) may have detected an obstruction while closing the gate.

 Photocell on EDGE 1 input is misaligned with reflector.

 Sensor on EDGE 1 input (photocell or edge) may not be wired properly, (see     ).

 Sensor is NOT a N.C. monitored sensor that is UL325 2016 compliant.

 Sensor is damaged or malfunctioning.

 Sensor might need to be re-learned.

 Jumper between EDGE 2 and GND is missing or broken (jumper is required if a sensor is not present).

 Sensor on EDGE 2 input (photocell or edge) may have detected an obstruction while opening or closing the gate.

 Photocell on EDGE 2 input is misaligned with reflector.

 Sensor on EDGE 2 input (photocell or edge) may not be wired properly, (see     ).

 Sensor is NOT a N.C. monitored sensor that is UL325 2016 compliant.

 Sensor on EDGE 2 is damaged or malfunctioning.

 Sensor might need to be re-learned.

 Jumper between PHOTOCELL and GND is missing or broken (jumper is required if a sensor is not present).

 Sensor on PHOTOCELL input (photocell or edge) may have detected an obstruction while opening or closing gate.

 Photocell on PHOTOCELL input is misaligned with reflector.

 Sensor on PHOTOCELL input (photocell or edge) may not be wired properly, (see     ).

 Sensor is NOT a N.C. monitored sensor that is UL325 2016 compliant.

 Sensor on PHOTOCELL is damaged or malfunctioning.

 Sensor might need to be re-learned.

 MOST sensitive setting for ERD entrapment detection. Select a less sensitive setting (recommended level 13 thru 16)
