Installation Overview

PULL-TO-OPEN GATE

Preparation for Installation

• There are two installation types for the gate opener, Pull-to-Open and Push-to-Open.
• In the Push-to-Open installation, gate opens out from the property. A Push-To-Open Bracket (PSO part) is required to be used for each gate.
  • NOTE: Ensure the gate does not open into public areas. One more person will help when installing.
• The gate opener is mounted to the gate and to the gate post. Both round and square posts can be used because the Post Brackets are curved. When mounting the Post Brackets, use bolts long enough to pass through the entire post. M10 x 200 bolts are included. Concrete anchors are not provided.
• When mounting the Post Brackets to wooden posts, a larger-size washer or metal plate should be used between the bolts and the wooden post to ensure the stability of the fastening hardware. If the post is smaller than 6″ diameter or square, it should be made of metal and set in cement to ensure its stability.

Install the Opener on the Gate – for Pull to Open

• The position of Post Bracket is very important. The following illustrations and tables are required to determine the proper mounting position for the Post Bracket.
• The tables show the maximum opening angle of the gate for a given A and B. For example, if A is 16cm and B is 14cm, the maximum opening angle of the gate is 110°
• Pull-to-Open Installation — Gate in Closed position (Moving-Rod is extended)

1. Insert the bolts through the holes of post bracket and post pivot bracket as shown. Place washers and nuts on the bottom of the bolts and hand tighten.

• You must set switch #5 to ON to enable the photocell function if you want to use the photocell with the gate opener. The factory default setting is OFF.

Potentiometers
There are 5 potentiometers located in the control board. They are used to adjust the soft stop period, auto-close time, open interval and close interval time between master gate opener and slave gate opener, and the stall force.

• Potentiometer A is used to adjust the soft stop period of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the soft stop period, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the soft stop period. The soft stop period can be adjusted gradually from 1 to 5 seconds.
• Potentiometer B is used to adjust the auto-close time of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the auto close time, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the auto close time. The auto close time can be adjusted gradually from 3 to 120 seconds.
• Potentiometer C and potentiometer D are used to adjust the open interval and close interval time between the master gate opener and the slave gate opener respectively. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the interval time, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the interval time. The interval time can be adjusted gradually from 1 to 9 seconds.
• Potentiometer E is used to adjust the stall force of the gate opener. Turn the potentiometer clockwise to increase the stall force, and turn it counter-clockwise to decrease the stall force.

Maintenance

Warning: Disconnect power before servicing.

1. Using a clean, dry cloth to wipe the gate opener shaft, and then apply a silicone spray to reduce its friction. In cold climates where temperatures reach 1°C (30°F) or less, spray silicone on the actuator every 4~6 weeks to prevent freeze up.
2. Regularly check gate hinges to make sure the gate is swinging smoothly and freely. Grease hinges if needed.
3. Check your installation periodically, as hardware and posts will shift. Brackets may need to be adjusted or hardware may need to be tightened.
4. Maintain the area around your gate. Keep the areas free of objects that can prevent the gate from swinging freely.

NOTES:

1. Inspection and service should always be performed anytime a malfunction is observed or suspected.
2. It is suggested that while at the site voltage readings be taken at the operator. Using a Digital Voltmeter, verify that the incoming voltage to the opener it is within ten per cent of the opener’s rating.
3. Refer to the instructions on how to check gate force and sensitivity adjustments.

Troubleshooting

Status of LED(s) & Trouble Shooting

and fastening.

2.     Make sure the UPS01 power supply has been plugged into the AC main socket or the batteries (2*12V batteries connected in series) have been connected to the UPS01 well.

3.   Battery is over-discharge if you only use batteries with the UPS01 to power up the gate opener. The voltage of the battery should above 22V to make the  gate  opener  work

| | | | normally. Please wait the battery to be charged above 22VDC.

4.       Check the output of UPS01. If the output of UPS01 is measured below 21VDC and the voltage of the batteries is above 22VDC or the power cord has been plugged into the socket well, then the UPS01 is defective.

5.     Check the fuse in the control board. Replace the fuse if it was burnt out.

6.   Check the control board. Replace the control board if necessary.

Both of the gates do not move when operating| OFF| Flash(1 Blink every second)| OFF| 1.     Make sure the remote has been programmed to the control board before using.

2.        The battery of the remote may be exhausted. Replace the battery and try it again.

3.    The control board could be faulty. Replace the control board as necessary.

The gate reverse when on the way of opening or closing| Flash(1 Blink every second )| Flash quickly until the gate stop running| Flash(1 Blink every second)| 1. Ensure that the gates swing freely without any binding.

2. The stall force is adjusted too small. Turn the Potentiometer E to increase the force.

3. Ensure the photo beam is not blocked when a

2.        Replace    the       control board as necessary.

One gate runs normally but the other one does not move| Flash(1 Blink every second )| Flash(1 Blink every second)| Flash(1                  Blink every second)| 1.         Exchange the wire connection of the 2 arms and check what will happen to the 2 arms. If the faulty arm is still faulty, then the arm itself is faulty. If the failure changes to the other arm which worked normally before, then the control board is faulty.

2.    If the arm is confirmed faulty by step 1, you can connect the RED & BLACK wire of the arm to the output of UPS01 direclty to check if the arm could run normally (Exchange the RED & BLACK wire to the

| | | | polarity of the output of power supply will change the running direction of the arm). If so, then the limit switch of the arm is faulty. If the arm still can’t run, then the motor part which is inside the arm is faulty.
