Solid Gate-Stops
must be fitted in the center of driveway to give a solid pressure
point between the stop and the end of each gate. Place a gate stop at the fully open
position if desired.
Arm Condensation Drain Hole :
Always mount arms with condensation drain holes
facing down or water will enter motors and damage the electrics voiding the warranty.
This is indicated on your arm with the
“THIS SIDE DOWN
” marking.
Wiring Double Gates:
Connect your arms to block [MT A] and [MT B]. We
recommend 1.5mm wire or greater. Lighter cable
will
restrict the performance of the
system. Use a suitable electrical junction box to protect cable joints from moisture
damage.
Check Motor Rotation Direction:
After power supply has been connected to the
Control Panel, make sure the gate swings in the correct direction. The system will
initiate an OPEN signal (green LED on board) the first time the remote is pressed.
The second time the remote is pressed the system initiates a CLOSE function (red
LED on board). Both gates should either OPEN or CLOSE in tandem.
This is important as wrong direction will cause the system work in the reverse
manner.
Hint:
Check the LED lights above [MT A] and [MT B]. Green indicates an OPEN
cycle and Red a CLOSE cycle. To reverse the direction of the motor, reverse the wire
polarity at the control panel.
Safety infrared beams:
Observe the [IR BEAM terminal] on the D1 board.
Connect the 12V of Photobeam to [PWR] and Common of Photobeam to [COM].
Connect the NC (normally closed) output of the photobeam to [COM] and [NC] on
the D1 board
Note: When installing the photobeam, you will need to remove the small loop /
jumper wire that is pre-positioned on your D1 board at [COM] and [NC]. Replace the
loop / jumper wire when beams are not in use.
Lock:
Used when a 12Vdc lock is used to keep gates from being forced open when fully
closed.
Connect to solenoid lock cables to the [LOCK] terminals on the D1 board.
Set DIP switch [1] & [2] to ON position. This allows for the gate to have a slight
reverse movement just prior to the disengaging of the solenoid lock.
