38 12V 

39 OPEN 

40 CLOSE 

41 GND 
The customer supplied radio receiver allows the gate operator to be operated 

via remote, such as wireless key-card readers or user remote controls. 

Connecting the Open (39) and Close (40) pins together with the relay of a 

receiver enables step by step gate control. This configuration allows a single 

button to control the gate in the following sequence: 

Press - Gate Open 

Press - Gate Stop 

Press - Gate Close 

Press - Gate Stop 

Proper inspection of all equipment is required to ensure continuous 

functionality, safety and to ensure reliable operation in all weather conditions. 

Inspect electrical assemblies and wiring installations for damage, general 

condition, and proper functioning to ensure the continued satisfactory 

operation of the electrical system. Adjust, repair, overhaul, and test electrical 

equipment and systems in accordance with the recommendations and 

procedures in the gate operator system and/or component manufacturer’s 

maintenance instructions. 

Replace components of the electrical system that are damaged or defective 

with identical parts, with manufacturer’s approved equipment, or its 

equivalent to the original in operating characteristics, mechanical strength, 

and environmental specifications. A partial list of suggested problems to look 

for and checks to be performed are listed below: 

22.1

  Damaged, discolored, or overheated equipment, connections, wiring, 

bearing caps and installations. 

22.2

  Excessive heat or discoloration at high current carrying connections. 

(look for bluing or heat affected metal). 

22.3

  Misalignment of electrically driven equipment. (Causes strain on 

pulley assemblies and bearings). 

22.4

  Poor electrical bonding (broken, disconnected or corroded bonding 

strap) and grounding, including evidence of corrosion. 

22.5

  Dirty equipment and connections. Clean equipment and connections. 

22.6

  Improper, broken, inadequately supported equipment, wiring and 

conduit, loose connections of terminals, and loose ferrules. 

22.7

  Poor mechanical or weld joints. Broken welds. 

22.8

  Condition of circuit breaker and fuses. Ensure that they are of the 

correct type and amperage. 

22.9

  Insufficient clearance between exposed current carrying parts 

and ground or poor insulation of exposed terminals. All exposed 

connections must be covered (prevent arcing between exposed 

parts, and electrical shock). 

22.10

  Broken or missing wire, connectors, etc. 

22.11

  Operational check of electrically operated equipment such as 

motors, inverters, generators, batteries, lights, protective devices, 

etc. Ensure proper functionality of all systems during inspections. 

22.12

  Ensure safety placards and warning signs are present as specified 

within this document. Ensure proper functionality of all safety devices 

as specified. Non-functioning or malfunctioning safety devices should 

be replaced immediately.

When the control board is in standby mode, power is still present at terminals 

10 and 11. If standby mode is to be used (especially in a solar application) 

You may use the terminals 10 and 11 to provide power to accessories. 

Please note that the output voltage of terminal 11 is the same as the highest 

incoming voltage (on battery OR main power) to the control board. 

For example:

If you are using a 12VDC battery to power to the control board connected to 

the Battery input, and the voltage of the battery is 13.5VDC - terminal 11 will 

have a 13.5VDC output.

If you are using a power supply input of 32VDC to the control board 

connected to the Main Power input - terminal 11 will have a 32VDC output.

If you are using a power supply connected to Main Power (at 32VDC) and 

also using a battery connected to the Battery input (at 13.5VDC) - terminal 11 

will have an output of 32VDC.
