Connecting Accessories
The ACCESSORY terminal block is the connection point for accessories such as push buttons, safety loops,
intercoms, etc. The ACCESSORY terminal marked GRN (green) is the common ground for all accessories. GRN
is paired with the terminals shown below when connecting accessories to the control board.
IMPORTANT: Make sure to twist exposed wires tightly and insert them into the terminals without loose
strands. Tighten set screws against exposed end of wires. A dab of household petroleum jelly in each terminal will
help prevent corrosion.
WHT (white) used with GRN
(green):
Functions as a normally open contact. This is the most frequently
used pairing for a doorbell button, keypad, or key switch.
First contact will start the gate.
Second contact will stop the gate.
Third contact will reverse the gate.
NOTE: Never use a lighted doorbell button!
It will discharge the battery and the gate operator
will fail to operate.
BLU (blue) used with GRN
(green):
Functions as a normally open contact. This pairing is
typically used for free entry and free exit devices.
First contact will open the gate.
NOTE: If the gate is in the open position and begins to close,
the activation of the accessory device will reopen the gate. In
communities where the use of a emergency entry device is
mandatory, it should be connected to these terminals.
ORG (orange) used with GRN
(green):
Functions as a normally open contact. This pairing is frequently
used for safety loops.
This connection will not open your gate. The safety loop will
activate only while the gate is in use. When using this combination,
the gate will remain open or reopen if it is closing.
Make sure the control box power switch is OFF before connecting accessories.
