Step 4
Remove the bottom cap by first removing the three 1/4-inch screws. Remove the cap by
gently tapping the lip.
Step 5
Remove the cable tie and tape and uncoil the armored cable at the top of the Telegate tube.
Be careful because when you uncoil the cable the weight can fall to the bottom of the
Telegate tube. Hold the armored cable and gently lower the weight to the bottom of the tube.
Step 6
With the weight at the bottom of the tube, remove the screw and cable attached to the
bottom of the weight.
Step 7
Gently pull on the armored cable to verify that the weight is moving freely in the tube.
Step 8
Replace the bottom cap using the three 1/4-inch screws. You may wish to store the shipping
bolts and cable in the cap in case you ever have to remove and ship the Telegate.
Step 9
The Telegate is ready for installation.
Attach the Telegate to the support post using the two stainless steel bands provided. See Figure 45.
Locate each band approximately as shown. Aim the cable outlet located at the top of the Telegate so
the armored cable will pay out straight to the gate. Each band must be tight enough to hold the
Telegate in place but not distort the Telegate enclosure.
Open the gate to the maximum opening and attach the Telegate armored cable to the gate using the
insulated shackle furnished. The shackle should connect to an eyebolt or other similar device attached
to the gate at or near a point that keeps the cable pull horizontal as shown. Leave a minimum 1 foot
pigtail for terminating the armored cable to the transducer cable being installed on the gate.
CAUTION:
The armored cable is not insulated and must not be allowed to touch any
grounded metal parts. If wind conditions force the armored cable to contact the fence,
secure a short section of insulating material such as PVC pipe to the fence fabric to
prevent contact.
Before making any further connections, operate the gate from full open to full closed making sure that
the Telegate armored cable is extended and retracted correctly. Make required mechanical adjust-
ments before Telegate electrical connections.
Two short sections of nonsensitive cable are furnished with each Telegate to make connections.
Terminate the nonsensitive cable running from the top of the Telegate to a TSK mounted on the fence
as shown in Figure 45. Route nonsensitive cable from the TSK to the bell box as shown. Fill all TSKs with
Dow Corning 4 silicone grease, or equivalent, before sealing.
Terminate the armored cable to the transducer cable being installed on the gate using a TSK located
approximately as shown. Install the transducer cable on the gate in the same manner as the fence.
Terminate the other end of the gate mounted transducer cable with another TSK. To maintain supervi-
sion of all transducer cable in the zone, the TSK at the end of the gate mounted transducer cable must
contain a 2 Megohm resistor, and the TSK at the end of the FPS zone must also be a 2 Megohm resistor
to maintain the net 1 Megohm supervision of each FPS zone.
CAUTION:
Use only factory supplied or 1% metal film EOL resistors. Carbon and other
resistors are not stable and must not be used.
