issues
Diagnose vehicle detector and loop faults
Handle General Maintenance issues
CONNECTING A RADIO RECEIVER FOR
REMOTE OPEN
Take the following steps to mount a commercial
style 24VDC radio receiver (external antenna type):
1.
Install the receiver in the channel of the chassis
on either side of the control box.
2.
Route the wires to the area marked RADIO
OPTIONS. Only three wire connections are
needed because the common wire and one
radio output wire are connected together.
Figure 65 shows additional wires from a two
channel receiver.
3.
Make sure to observe polarity and crimp
together the black radio common wire and
one of the radio output wires using a ¼-inch
spade connector.
4.
Fasten the two crimped wires to the COM
terminal.
5.
Connect the red wire to the +24V spade and
connect the other radio output contact wire to
the spade marked OPEN.
NOTICE
This terminal is the same as the input terminal
labeled RADIO OPEN along the left edge of
the Smart DC Controller.
ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
6.
Mount an external antenna onto the top of a
fi
xed fence post near the operator.
7.
Connect the antenna into the socket on the
radio receiver.
8.
Set the “DIP” switches in the receiver to match
the same code used in the transmitter.

INSTALLING A MAGLOCK OR SOLENOID
LOCK
To provide additional gate security, a maglock or
a solenoid lock can be used and connected to
the Smart DC Controller. The Smart DC Controller
releases the lock prior to initiating gate movement.
Before installing the lock, be sure to:
Determine the electrical power requirements of
your lock (maglock or solenoid lock). Electronic
board and peripheral connections differ
between high voltage and lower voltage gate
operators.
Determine the current required. Up to 1A is
available from the 24VDC, or 12VDC power
supply. If the peripherals attached to the
terminals need more than 1A, a separate power
supply is required. Refer to "Overview Of The
Smart DC Controller" on page 72and Figure
57.
