So Before We Get Started.....................
Ensure sure you have access to 230v
power feed from your property to the
control panels junction box. Cable used
must be 3 core armoured and should be
placed inside a conduit and buried
underground to reduce risk of trip and
accidental cutting hazard.
Once the motor has been fixed into location, and you have power accessible to the control board, we next
look at getting your motor physically operational and ensure it is communicating efficiently with the control
board.
Linking Essential Terminals
In order to activate the gate control board, an essential “link” must be fitted. A “link” in this instance, is a
piece of wire that connects terminals together so that a voltage charge can be distributed from one terminal
to another in order to complete a circuit. Links are placed between terminals on occasions to complete a
circuit to “fool” the control board some equipment is there when it is not.
If you do not have an EMERGENCY STOP button fitted, a link must be placed between terminals 18 & 21
(illustrated below)
The EMERGENCY STOP function is
an ESSENTIAL SAFETY FEATURE
and is a continuous circuit. The
quickest way to STOP the gates if
ever an accident was to occur is to
cut all power to the motors
– like
tripping a fuse. Of course you may
not be in a position to “disconnect the
power” to the control board and this is
never recommended.
For Emergency Stop button - Gate Motors push button switch can be fitted into terminals 18 & 21 (
optional
accessory
). As soon as the push button is pressed, this breaks the circuit and the control board sees the
broken circuit and IMMEDIATELY STOPS the motors during their operation.
If you
do not
have an EMERGENCY STOP button and you do not place a link between these two
terminals, the control board
“thinks” you have pressed a STOP button and, of course, will halt all operations
– regardless to any command you may give it. Be sure to tighten the terminals screws to ensure good
contact is made.
