MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS OF UGP-712 PERFORMED BY THE END USER/HOME
OWNER
The following services need to be periodically performed:
•
Check and adjust the gate operator for force, speed, and sensitivity.
•
Make sure all power (AC/DC ) connections are corrosion free.
•
Check all batteries for proper voltage of the intended use. A fully charged battery must be 26 VDC
minimum.
•
Check the incoming line voltage and confirm it is within 10% of its rating (115 or 230 volts).
•
Verify battery backup functionally by turning off the power source (115 VAC and 230 VAC). Don’t forget
to restore power after testing.
•
Check gate hinges and operator/arm mounting brackets and lubricate them with heavy-duty,
high-performance lubricant and avoid spillage.
•
Test (use caution) all contact and non-contact sensors, all vehicle detectors, keypad, telephone entry
system or other control devices applicable.
•
Test the manual release feature on the operator/arm.
Installation, all connections, programming, repair and modifications must be done by a qualified professional
gate operator installer. End users/home owners must call a qualified professional gate operator installer for
programming changes, repairs and modifications.
Although all Platinum Access Systems’ gate operators are virtually maintenance free to an end user/home
owner, minimal maintenance is recommended to ensure a smooth operation of this unit.
End users/home owners:
•
Perform maintenance every six months, or when strenuous noise from gate hinges and/or operator/
arm mounting brackets is detected. Lubricate them with heavy-duty, high-performance lubricant and
avoid spillage.
•
DO NOT take the cover off the operator/arm and/or the electrical control box to perform maintenance.
•
Make sure there are no cars in the path of the gate while performing maintenance.
•
Make sure the person performing maintenance is the only person in control of all control devices in
order to avoid possible involuntary activation of the gate operator.
•
Keep spraying water hoses and sprinkler systems away from the gate, gate operator/arm and the elec-
trical control box at all times. Keep that general area as clean as humanly possible.
•
Test (use caution) all non-contact sensors, all vehicle detectors, keypad, telephone entry system or
other control devices applicable.
