3. With a voltmeter on the proper scale, check that the line voltage on
the GS6000 control board is the voltage that is expected. Check the
voltage at the power outlet for 115 VAC, uncover the wire nuts for
230 VAC. Connection of a 115 VAC GS6000 to an unexpected 230
VAC line is a common occurrence. This will cause readily
identifiable board failure that

WARRANTY
.
4. Manually move the gate to the center of the gate opening.
5. Make sure the Torque Limiter is properly adjusted to slip under a
load when a moderate amount of force is applied to the gate in the
center of its travel. If the adjustment is too loose, the overload
sensitivity will not function properly and the Torque Limiter may
slip when the gate is under a wind loading. Start by tightening the
large nut on the Torque Limiter to 35 ft-lbs./in. To fine tune,
increase or decrease this by approximately 5 ft-lbs./in. increments.
When a satisfactory setting is found, tighten the set screws in the side
of the large nut.
6. Set all the Switch selectable options switches ON for the test
mode.
7. Make sure that the overload sensitivity potentiometers (Open and
Close) are set to their preliminary start up position.
8.
Temporarily remove the white high voltage connector from
the control board and go to next section - “Checking the
Indicator Lamps” (below).
CHECKING THE INDICATOR LIGHTS
There are 16 indicator lights on the control board of the GS6000.
See Figure 21. These lights are used to verify proper operation of the
GS6000.
TURN ON THE MAIN POWER SWITCH TO THE GS6000.
•
Note that the “POWER” lamp is lighted. This indicates that
power is applied to the control board and the power supply is
functioning
1. Connect one end of a short piece of wire (not supplied) to terminal
#16 (COMMON).
2. With the other end of this wire, (make sure that this loose end is
free of insulation), touch the following terminals and observe the
noted response of the lamps.
3. Connect to Terminal #17, Close Limit Switch: Close Limit
Switch light is ON.
4. Connect to Terminal #18, Open Limit Switch: Open Limit
Switch light is ON.
5. Connect to Terminal #4, Radio Open.: Radio Open light is ON,
Motor Open light is ON.
6. Remove wire from Terminal #4, Radio Open. Radio Open light
goes OUT, Motor Open light stays ON.
7. Connect to Terminal #8, Stop : Both Motor Open and Motor
Close lights are momentarily ON, then both Motor Open and
Motor Close lights go OUT. The Stop Pushbutton light is ON as
long as the wire is held on the terminal and the goes OUT when
the wire is removed.
8. Connect to Terminal #7, Close: Observe that the Motor Close
light comes ON and the Close Pushbutton light is ON. Remove
the wire from terminal #7 and observe that the Close Pushbutton
light goes OUT and the Motor Close light stays ON.
9. Connect to Terminal #3, Alternate: Observe that both Motor
lights are ON momentarily and then the Motor Close light goes
OUT and the Motor Open light stays ON.
10. Connect to Terminal #8, Stop,: Same as above, Sequence 5.
11. Connect to Terminal #6, Open: Observe that the Motor Open
light comes ON and the Open Pushbutton light is ON. Remove
the wire from terminal #6 and observe that the Open Pushbutton
light goes OUT and the Motor Open light stay ON.
12. Connect to Terminal #12, Open Contact Sensor: Note that the
Open Contact Sensor light comes on & remains on until the
connection is removed. Observe that the both Motor Open and
Motor Close lights are momentarily ON, then the Motor Open
light goes out and the Motor Close light stays on for
approximately 1 second then goes out.
13. Connect to Terminal #7, Close: Same as above Sequence #8.
14. Connect to Terminal #10, Close Non-contact Sensor: Note that
the Close Non-contact Sensor light comes on & remains on until
the connection is removed. Observe that the both Motor Open
and Motor Close lights are momentarily ON, then the Motor
Close light goes out and the Motor Open light stays on for
approximately 1 second then goes out.
15. Connect to Terminal #7, Close: Same as above Sequence #8.
16. Connect to Terminal #13, Close Contact Sensor: Note that the
Close Contact Sensor light comes on & remains on until the
connection is removed. Observe that the both Motor Open and
Motor Close lights are momentarily ON, then the Motor Close
light goes out and the Motor Open light stays on for
approximately 1 second then goes out.
