Preparing to install the IQ-500
Consider the following when installing an IQ-500:
•
Survey the desired location for the gate. Make sure that the opening is far
enough away from a main road or heavy traffic. Be sure to allow enough
distance away from the road so that a vehicle can approach the gate
without obstructing traffic. Twenty-five feet from the road should be
sufficient, but compliance with local codes should be observed.
•
Keep power requirements in mind. The IQ-500 is capable of operating
with a supply of power from a solar panel that consists of at least 20 watts.
AC power is recommended to consist of 110 to 220 volts. AC power is the
preferred method of supply.
•
Depending on soil conditions, set the concrete pad at least 2 feet in the
ground with an abundance of concrete. Check and conform to local codes.
•
Install the gate with the incline of the road in mind. For proper operation,
the gate must swing back and forth at a level plane.
For Master / Slave Applications
:
•
The recommended installation of a master/slave or bi-parting swing gate is
to pull motor and limit switch wires across the road to the “master”
operator. This kind of setup allows for easy programming and servicing of
the gate operators. If it is desired to have a Motor Board in each operator,
the required number and gauge of wires will remain the same.
The following is the preferred master/slave wiring requirements:
