DJUSTMENT
:
The gate operator is equipped with an inherent (Type A) entrapment sensing system. The sensor detects obstructions in both
the open and close path of the gate. There is an OPEN SENSITIVITY Adjustment and a CLOSE SENSITIVITY Adjustment.
To adjust the sensitivity:
1. Activate the gate to open.
2. While the gate is running open, slowly rotate the OPEN SENSITIVITY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the
sensitivity until the gate stops in mid-travel.
3. Gently rotate the OPEN SENSITIVITY adjustment counter-clockwise 1/8 turn to DECREASE the sensitivity.
4. Activate the gate to close.
5. While the gate is running closed, slowly rotate the CLOSE SENSITIVITY adjustment clockwise to INCREASE the
sensitivity until the gate stops in mid-travel.
6. Gently rotate the CLOSE SENSITIVITY adjustment counter-clockwise 1/8 turn to DECREASE the sensitivity.
7. Operate the gate a few times to be sure it fully cycles without stopping.
8. Place an immobile object in the open path of the gate to stop the gate while in travel. The gate should stop and enter
a Soft Shutdown upon striking the object.
9. Place an immobile object in the closed path of the gate to stop the gate while in travel. The gate should stop and
enter a Soft Shutdown upon striking the object.
10. Repeat steps 2 - 6 until the correct sensitivity adjustment is found.

HUTDOWN
:
Upon a first obstruction, the reverse sensor should:
1. Stop the gate and reverse it approximately two (2) inches.
2. Disable the Timer To Close Feature until the gate operator receives a new command = Soft Shutdown.
3. Any standard input can reactivate the gate and return it to normal operation.
Upon a second consecutive obstruction before the gate reaches either limit, the reverse sensor should:
1. Stop the gate.
2. Disable the gate operator = Hard Shut Down.
3. Sound the audio alarm for five (5) minutes or until the operator has been reset.
4. Only resetting the operator will reactivate the gate and return it to normal operation.
5. To reset the operator in a Hard Shut Down situation: Press the reset button on the left side of the controller or turn
the power switch OFF and back ON.
For the Reverse Sensor to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions.
Repair or replace worn hardware. DO NOT use sensitivity to compensate for a gate in need of service.
!
Clockwise Turn:
INCREASE
Sensitivity
(Reverse the gate more easily)
Counter-Clockwise Turn:
DECREASE
Sensitivity
(Reverse the gate less easily)
Gently rotate each
adjustment. Turning
the adjustment POT
too hard will break the
adjustment.
