SETTING THE CLOSE TIMER
To adjust the amount of time the close timer will hold the gate open,
use the lower leftmost trimmer potentiometer next to the relay on the
controller board. Review Figure 19, Page 17.
Close timer delay is adjustable between 2 and 100 seconds. Turning
the potentiometer counterclockwise increases the delay; turning it
clockwise decreases the delay.

The obstruction detection sensitivity was preset before turning on the
main power to prevent the operator from "self-tripping" during testing.
To set the sensitivity, start the gate in motion and turn the overload
potentiometer counterclockwise until the OVERLOAD light turns on.
Then back the potentiometer off 10 degrees in the clockwise direction.
Review Figure 19, Page 17.
Restart the gate and give the leading edge a firm blow with the heal of
your palm. Don't stand directly in the gate's path while testing the
obstruction sensitivity. The obstruction detection should respond
immediately to the blow. The overload potentiometer must be adjusted
to the most sensitive setting possible without causing "self-tripping"
due to the gate's inherent friction or to variations in the track. Try
readjusting the potentiometer several times by small increments, testing
the gate in both directions of travel, until you are satisfied.
TESTING THE OPERATOR LOCK
STANDARD LOCK
The Operator is equipped with an operator locking mechanism. The
lock is engaged when the gate is stopped and the lock action light is on.
When the main power is off, the operator lock remains engaged. The
key lock on the side of the operator may be used to disengage the lock
to allow the gate to be pushed open manually.
DROP OUT LOCK
The operator lock is engaged when the gate is stopped and the lock
action light is on. When the main power is off, the lock is not
energized and the gate may be pushed open manually.
MAXIMUM RUN TIMER (MRT)
The control board has a non-adjustable maximum run timer circuit.
The MRT is preset to approximately 45 seconds maximum run time at
the factory. If the operator initiates an OPEN or CLOSE cycle and for
any reason that cycle is not completed within this time, the MRT will
immediately stop the gate. Valid commands received during the cycle,
such as activation of the SAFETY input or a new input command, will
automatically reset and restart the MRT. If the MRT has stopped the
gate, the operator will respond to a new input command.
BI-PARTING INSTALLATION FINAL SETTINGS
LIMIT SWITCHES - Push both gates together in the center of the
driveway to set the closed limits. Push each gate open an equal amount
to set the open limits. After cycling the gates the settings can be fine
tuned to insure that the gates stop in their open positions at the same
time.
SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS - Make sure the three dip
switches are set identically on both control boards.
CLOSE TIMER - If the close timers are enabled, set the adjustment
potentiometers to approximately the same position on each control
board. Cycle the gates several times making slight adjustments to one
of the potentiometers until the gates timeout and begin closing at
exactly the same time.
When properly adjusted, the two operators will perform as if they were
a Master/Slave installation. If the motor overload circuit in one
operator should respond to an obstruction not encountered by the other,
the gates will temporarily get out of sync. If Switch 1 is in the OFF
position in both operators, synchronization will be restored after the
next input command cycle
