28 - PROGRAMMING QUICK START
28.1 - Learning the gate
1. Install electrical power to the gate opener unit.
2. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors, Loops and
other safety devices.
3. Turn on the electrical power to the unit.
4. Using the MANUAL RELEASE HANDLE, disengage the drive motor.
5. Move the gate manually (with your hands) to ensure that the gate travels
to the fully open and fully closed positions with no binding or problems.
Gate should move freely.
6. Using the MANUAL RELEASE HANDLE, re-engage the drive system and
stow the handle.
7. Using the open button on the front of the Control board, hold the button
down until the gate reaches the fully open position.
8. Adjust the Open Limit Switch until the GREEN light illuminates on the
EQNMSNESGDBNMSQNKAN@QC3GD%4++8./$-KHLHSRVHSBGHRMNVRDS
9. Using the CLOSE button on the front of the Control Board, hold the but-
ton down until the gate reaches the fully closed position.
10. Adjust the CLOSED Limit Switch until the RED light illuminates on the
front of the control board. The fully CLOSED limit switch is now set.
11. The control board is already in the “LEARNING MODE” when shipped. (If
not in LEARNING MODE see section 28.3) Press “OK” to allow the con-
trol board to scan for attached items, such as sensors, photo-eye’s and
other safety devices.
12. The gate will open partially, then stop. This is being done, so that the
control board can sense the type and operational condition of the drive
motor. The gate will then run to the closing limit, so that it can properly
sense where it is located.
13. The control board will then OPEN the gate slowly to establish travel and
limits.
14. Once the gate reaches the fully OPENED limit switch, the control board
will now increase gate travel speed to the highest speed allotted, and will
now travel to the fully CLOSED position at full speed.
15. The gate opener is now programmed for basic usage.
28.2 - Gate direction reversal
WARNING: GATE DIRECTION REVERSAL CAN ONLY BE ACCOM-
PLISHED IN LEARNING MODE
If for some reason, the installer were to install the opener on the opposite
side of the gate from which the unit is programmed, and when you press the
“OPEN” button, the gate actually CLOSES, the installer will need to REVERSE
the direction of travel to match the buttons on the control board.
Press “OPEN” and note if the gate actually opens. If it does not, and instead is
traveling in a CLOSING direction follow the below steps to correct:
1. Press FUNCTION
2. Scroll through the options to reach “ADVANCED SETTINGS”
3. Press ENTER
4. Scroll through selection to reach “DIRECTION OF MOTOR”
5. Press ENTER
6. The direction arrows on the display begin to blink
7. Choose the appropriate direction of travel
