PROGRAMMING THE MOTOR
The motor must be programmed to the gate in order to operate correctly. Once the motor has been pro-
grammed to the gate, the program is held in the memory on the microchip, there is no need to re-program
the motor after the initial program.
It is important to note that the following points should be checked before the gate is programmed.
•
Gear box is filled with the gearbox oil.
•
Motor is level.
•
Rack is secure to the gate and engaged with the pinion gear.
•
The gate has adequate end stops. (DO NOT automate a gate without end stops.)
•
The gate runs freely and does not jam at ANY part of travel.
•
The magnet is mounted correctly.
TO PROGRAM THE MOTOR. Ensure that all power is removed from the board.
The L.C.D. screen is designed to assist with the programming of the motor.
Step 1. Manually open the gate 1m -1.5m This will be the pedestrian opening distance.
Step 2. Lock the gate in place. (Operational mode.)
Step 3. Insert the program jumper (link) over the two pins on the P.C. Board labeled “prog”.
Step 4. Apply the battery power. The three L.E.D. will flash rapidly. And the L.C.D. will say -
“ PROGRAM MODE PRESS TEST BUTTON”
Step 5. Apply the 16v AC from the transformer.
Step 6. Press the trigger button. on the P.C.BOARD. The gate will automatically do the following
A) Close slowly until the end stop is struck.
B) Open slowly until the end stop is struck.
Step 7. When the motor is fully open. Remove the jumper (link) from the prog motor pins.
The motor is now fully programmed and ready for normal use.
In Step (6 A) the gate must close first. If the gate opens first, then the motor wires must be reversed.
This will change the motor direction. {See Setting the motor direction}
Do not connect any other trigger wires to the board until the motor is fully programmed.
