Proper inspection of all equipment is required to ensure continuous functionality, safety and to ensure reliable op-
eration in all weather conditions. Inspect electrical assemblies and wiring installations for damage, general condi-
tion, 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 manufactur-
er’s approved equipment, or its equivalent to the original in operating characteristics, mechanical strength, and en-
vironmental specifications. A partial list of suggested problems to look for and checks to be performed are listed 
below: 
 

 

Damaged, discolored, or overheated equipment, connections, wiring, bearing caps and installations. 

 

Excessive heat or discoloration at high current carrying connections. (look for bluing or heat affected metal). 

 

Misalignment of electrically driven equipment. (Causes strain on pulley assemblies and bearings). 

 

Poor electrical bonding (broken, disconnected or corroded bonding strap) and grounding, including evidence of 
corrosion. 

 

Dirty equipment and connections. Clean equipment and connections. 

 

Improper, broken, inadequately supported equipment, wiring and conduit, loose connections of terminals, and 
loose ferrules. 

 

Poor mechanical or weld joints. Broken welds. 

 

Condition of fuses. Ensure that they are of the correct type and amperage. 

 

Insufficient clearance between exposed current carrying parts and ground or poor insulation of exposed termi-
nals. All exposed connections must be covered (prevent arcing between exposed parts, and electrical shock). 

 

Broken or missing wire, connectors, etc. 

 

Operational check of electrically operated equipment such as motors, inverters, generators, batteries, lights, pro-
tective devices, etc. Ensure proper functionality of all systems during inspections. 

 

Ensure safety placards and warning signs are present as specified within this document. Ensure proper function-
ality of all safety devices as specified. Non-functioning or malfunctioning safety devices should be replaced im-
mediately. 

7 - INSPECTION AND OPERATION 

6.5 - Radio receiver connection (third party) 

38 12V 
39 OPEN 
40 CLOSE 
41 GND 
The customer supplied radio receiver allows the gate opera-
tor 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 a receiver enables single-
button 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 
Terminal #38 (12V) is off when the board goes into standby.  
Disable standby when using a third party receiver.

6.4 - Magnetic lock connection 

7 NC 
8 Com (Common) 
9 NO 
10 GND 
11 V+ 
This connection is used to install the magnetic lock. 
In this instance a gate can be locked magnetically to 
prevent a forced opening.  
Consult lock manual for specifics on installation and 
wiring. 
 

Note: 

Terminal 11 voltage is equal to system input 

voltage.
