Dual Slide Gate Installations
• Determine which operator will be the primary. Set DIP
switch #4 in this operator’s control box to the OFF
position.
• The other operator is the secondary. Set DIP switch #4
in this operator’s control box to the ON position.
• Connect the two operators with a 3-wire cable (18
AWG minimum) as shown in fig. 12.
NOTE: All accessories must be wired to the primary
operator.
Obstruction Sensitivity Set-up
IMPORTANT: For safety reasons the obstruction setting or
stall force on the Polaris Automatic Gate Operator control
board comes from the factory set at minimum, (turned all
the way counter-clockwise). In many gate installations, this
setting will need to be adjusted to overcome the weight and
size of the gates.
The STALL FORCE potentiometer on the circuit board
controls the obstruction sensitivity (or the amount of
force the operator will apply to an obstruction) before
it automatically stops and reverses direction of the gate.
Adjust the sensitivity beginning at the factory default
counter-clockwise position. Continue to incrementally
increase the force until the gate can open and close
without obstructing under its own weight by turning the
potentiometer clockwise.
NOTE: The adjustment of the STALL FORCE
potentiometer will cause the bank of LED’s to temporarily
act as a meter.
NOTE: The OBSTRUCT LED will light to indicate an
obstruction is sensed.
For dual gates: the obstruction force setting must be
set for each operator independently. The OBSTRUCT LED
will light in the operator of the gate which experienced
the obstruction.
