11 - INSTALLATION PROCEDURES (CONT.)
2.
Using the MANUAL RELEASE, disengage the drive motor if this is not
already accomplished (see Figure 9). Ensure that the gate moves freely by
moving it manually to the fully opened and fully closed positions verifying
there is no binding or cause for resistance.
3. Put gate mid-way and using the MANUAL RELEASE HANDLE, move it
counter-clockwise to re-engage the drive system (see Figure 9) and then
stow handle.
Figure 9 - MANUAL RELEASE
4. Turn on the electrical power to the unit. The control board is already in the
“LEARNING MODE” when shipped (see Figure 10), but in order to select
the right kind of gate press FUNCTION, then LEARN then select SWING,
then select LIGHT or AVERAGE or HEAVY, then press ENTER.
5. Using the OPEN button on the front of the Control board, hold the OPEN
button down until the gate reaches the fully open position or where the
installer wants the gate to stop as FULLY OPEN (see Figure 12 steps 1-2-
3). If the gate moves the wrong direction, refer to Section 16.0 to reverse
the direction.
6. Once the gate is in the position where the gate is intended to be “FULLY
OPEN” the OPEN limit switch must be adjusted to inform the circuit board that
the gate is in the correct position to STOP at that position in the future. Use an
ALLEN WRENCH to loose the set screw that keeps the OPEN limit switch arm
in place and adjust it until the GEEN light illuminates on the front of the control
board (Figure 12, Steps 4-5-6). When done, to hold the limit switch firmly in
place tight the set screw (Figure 12, Step 7).
7.
Using the CLOSE button on the front of the Control Board, hold the
button down until the gate reaches the fully intended closed position. See
Figure 13, Steps 1-2-3.
8. Adjust the Closed Limit Switch as done for the Open limit: loosen the set
screw and move the arm for the close limit until the RED light illuminates
on the front of the control board (see Figure 13 steps 4-5-6-7). When the
CLOSED limit switch is set, tighten the set screw to hold it in place (see
Figure 13, Step 7.
11.5 - Step five-arm assembly
Connect the main arm assembly to turret assembly and test gate for free
movement. (Should move freely in both directions) Push the gate by hand to
the full movement in each direction to ensure it does not bind or catch in any
manner. Connect gate arm to gate bracket. Connect bracket to gate. Put
the gate in fully closed position and placed bracket against gate with arms
completely straightened. Gate operator should now be wired, installed and
connected to the gate.

11.6 - Learning and programming features
These steps begin the basic “Learning” programming of the gate opener unit.
Most all of the features and programming are pre-set and already set up for
most standard installations. The installer most often will only be required to
plug the unit into electrical power, and then “learn” the unit by setting the
limits on the gate movement. In most cases this is the extent of the basic
programming procedure. If the unit is not in LEARNING MODE see Section
6.9 to place the unit into this mode.
NICE has taken great care to simplify the installation, operation and safety
of this device and to ensure longevity and reliability of the unit over time. The
learning procedure consists of the following steps.
11.7 - How to set up the system for first use
1. Install electrical power connections to the gate opener unit. Ensure the
power switch is in the OFF position prior to touching any of the power
connections. Install all gate accessories such as Photo-Eye’s, Sensors,
Loops and other safety devices.
