A. Balancing a Gate:
Four months after installation, then annually. It is recommended to check the balance of your VPL
Operator. It is mandatory to re-check the balance if you change spring(s). You can monitor it on the
amp meter installed on the control box door. It is recommended to follow the instructions below for
accurate balancing numbers using a commercial grade AMP meter.
1. Remove the wire nut on the RED motor lead and hook up one Amp Meter lead to the RED
wire and the other Amp Meter lead to the ORANGE wire. Cycle the gate up and down and
record the highest amp reading in both directions (reading should be in the 2.0 to 6.0 range).
The highest reading for both the up and down cycles should be very close to the same. If not,
you will have to adjust the SLIDE ASSY. (see Dwg. # 107).
2. Loosen the 1 1/8” nuts on either side of the Slide Assy. Angle on the Threaded Rod. If the
gate Amps are too high in the OPEN mode, move the Slide Assy. UP to help it OPEN . (This is
the most common adj. Made). If the gate is flying open and struggling to close, move the Slide
Assy. DOWN. Only adjust the Slide Assy. 1/4” (3 to 4 turns) at a time when adjusting. After
each adjustment, check your amp readings.
3. When you have the gate back in balance (within a half amp (.5) is minimal), tighten both nuts
on Slide Assembly threaded rod.
B. Board Replacement
1. Turn ALL power off (AC & DC) to the board.
2. Remove (slide off) J2 “Open & Close” Limit Switch Terminal strip.
3. Remove (slide off) Accessories 1 through 12 Terminal strip.
4. Carefully remove the wires for the 24vdc Acc. Power, Battery Power, AC Power & Motor wires.
5. Take the board off the Standoffs and remove the (2) mounting bolts and replace with your NEW
circuit board and put all wires & connections back in the same place.
6. Double check the D.I.P. switch settings to be sure they are the same as your original board.
