Gate 1 Plug
Terms and Definitions
LED
-Light Emitting Diode - small red lights on control board below J2 Terminal plug.
Control board
- Located inside the control box in the upper right corner.
Linear Actuator
- Connected to gate and hinge post - contains the motor, gearbox, rotary
potentiometer and extension tube.
Dip Switches
- Small switches, which are located on the control board. SW1 and SW2, is located in the
upper center of the control board.
Sensitivity adjustments
- Located on the control board. These adjustments are the primary safety
feature. If the gate comes in contact with an object it will stop and reverse. These adjustments
control the amount of force applied to an object before reversing the gate.
Battery Controller
- Located inside the control box. This is the battery charger. The input power for this
device can be either from a transformer or from a solar panel.
DC Adaptor
- This device connects to a 110 VAC electrical outlet and converts it to a low DC voltage
that can be connected to the controller to provide continuous charging of the battery.
Entrapment Siren
- If the control board sensitivity circuit senses an obstruction it will reverse the gate
and if a second obstruction is detected before the gate reaches a fully open or close limit the
control board will shut down the operator and sound the entrapment alarm for five minutes or until
the “Reset” button is pressed.
Low battery alarm - if battery voltage falls below 10.5 vdc the siren will emit 3 quick burst and
repeat every 5 seconds.
