Safety Installation Information

1. READ and FOLLOW all instruction.

2. The gate opener is intended for use with Class I vehicular swing gates.
   Class I denotes a vehicular gate opener (or system) dwellings, or a garage or parking area associated therewith.
   Install the gate opener only when the opener is appropriate for the construction and the usage class of the gate.

3. Gate opening system designers, installers and users must take into account the possible hazards associated with each individual application. Improperly designed, installed or maintained systems can create risks for the user as well as the bystander. Gate system design and installation must reduce public exposure to potential hazards. All exposed pinch points must be eliminated or guarded.

4. A gate opener can create high levels of force during normal operation. Therefore, safety features must be incorporated into every installation. Specific safety features include safety sensors.

5. The gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions prior to the installation of the gate opener.

6. The gate must be installed in a location so that enough clearance is provided between the gate and adjacent structure when opening and closing to reduce the risk of entrapment. Swinging gates shall not open into public access areas.

7. The opener is intended for use only on gates used for vehicles. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate access opening. The pedestrian access opening shall be designed to promote pedestrian usage. The pedestrian access shall be located such that persons will not come in contact with the moving vehicular gate.

8. Pedestrians should never cross the pathway of a moving gate. The gate opener is not acceptable for use on any pedestrian gate. Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate pedestrian access.

9. For an installation utilizing non-contact sensors (safety sensors), see product manual on the placement of non-contact sensors (safety sensors) for each type of application.
   a. Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk of nuisance tripping, such as when a vehicle trips the safety sensor while the gate is still moving.
   b. One or more non-contact sensors (safety sensors) shall be located where the risk of entrapment of obstruction exists, such as the perimeter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

10. Never mount any device that operates the gate opener where the user can reach over, under, around or through the gate to operate the controls. Controls are to be placed at least 6’ (1.8m) from any part of the moving gate.

11. Controls intended to be used to reset an operator after 2 sequential activations of the entrapment protection device or devices must be located in the line of sight of the gate, or easily accessible controls shall have a security feature to prevent unauthorized use. Never allow anyone to hang on or ride the gate during the entire travel of the gate.

12. Each gate opener is provided with two safety warning placards. The placards are to be installed on the front and back of the gate where they are plainly visible. The placards may be mounted using cable ties through the four holes provided on each placard.
    All warning signs and placards must be installed where visible in the area of the gate.

13. To AVOID damaging gas, power, or other underground utility lines, contact underground utility locating companies BEFORE digging.

Dual Gate Overview

Single Gate Overview

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.
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 Gate Opener on the Gate

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 M10 x 35 bolt through the center hole of the post bracket and post pivot bracket as shown. Place a ￠10 washer , ￠10 lock washer and M10 nut on the bottom of the bolt and hand tighten.
2. Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assembly to the opener by inserting a clevis pin. Secure the clevis pins using the hairpin clips.
3. Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90° clockwise. This releases the motor and allows the push-pull rod to be manually extended and retracted. To restore normal operation, turn the key 90° counterclockwise.
4. With the opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation) or fully closed position (for Push-to-Open installation), place the gate opener with the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket on the gate post and the gate. Position the Post Bracket Assembly and Gate Bracket so that the gate opener is level. While holding the gate opener in the level position, temporarily secure it with two C-clamps.
5. Make sure that there is a minimum clearance of 2.5cm between the gate and the opener and that the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are not binding in both the gate-open and gate-closed positions. If there is not at least 2.5cm of clearance or if the opener and the Post Pivot Bracket are binding, rotate the Post Pivot Bracket and/or move the Post Bracket Assembly to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding. When the minimum clearance has been obtained and any binding has been eliminated, place the M8 x 30 bolt through the aligned holes in the Post Bracket and the Post Pivot Bracket.
6. Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate bracket and gate. Do this by placing a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket assemblies and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the post bracket. Then remove the post bracket and gate bracket by taking off the C-clamps.
7. Drill 10.5 mm diameter holes through the post and the gate at the marked locations.
8. Attach the post bracket assemblies to the gate posts by inserting M10 x 200 bolts through each post bracket assembly and the drilled holes in the gate post. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 washer, one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
9. Attach the gate brackets to each gate by inserting two M10 x 75 bolts through the gate brackets and the drilled holes in the gates. Fasten each bolt with one ￠10 lock washer, and one ￠10 nut.
10. Cut off any part of the bolts that extend beyond the tightened nuts.
11. With the gate opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation) or fully closed position (for Push-to-Open installation), attach the gate opener to the Post Bracket Assembly and the Gate Bracket by inserting a clevis pin through the gate opener and the Post Pivot Bracket and another clevis pin through the gate opener and the Gate Bracket. Secure each clevis pin with a hairpin clip.
12. Open the release hole plug on the top of the gate opener, insert the release key, and turn the key 90° counterclockwise. This restores normal operation.

NOTE: The setting of the PULL/PUSH TO OPEN of the control board should be in accordance with the installation.

   (Factory set is 3 seconds)

7. Set the Fast Running Period (FRP) to Achieve Soft Stop Function (SPP)
   When the Digital Display indicates “PC”, the Fast Running Period for opening or closing gate is adjustable by pressing “INC” and “DEC” buttons respectively, and the Soft Stop Function is achieved simultaneously.
   The Soft Stop means the gate opener runs at slow speed during the last period before the gate completely closes. The Soft Stop Period is unavailable by direct adjust but available through adjusting the Fast Running Period.
   There are two running speeds designed in program, i.e. Fast Running Speed and Soft Running Speed. The Fast Running Period is adjustable from 1 to 28 sec. Factory default setting is 15 sec.
   Since the GATE OPENING OR CLOSING RUNING PERIOD (GRP) = SOFT START PERIOD (STP) + FAST RUNNING PERIOD (FRP) + SOFT STOP PERIOD (SPP), the SPP could be extended by shortening the FRP when the GRP and STP are fixed. In other words, SPP = GRP–STP–FRP.
   Similarly, the Soft Stop Period (SPP) can be shortened through extending the Fast Running Period (FPP).
   E.g. When the Soft Start Period (STP) is set at 3 sec, and the GRP is 23 sec, how can we get 4 sec of Soft Stop Period (SPP) to meet the requirement? The answer is clear, i.e. we may set the Fast Running Period (FRP) at 16 sec (23 – 3 – 4 =16 sec).

8. Return to Factory Set
   When the Digital Display indicates “Pd”, press and release the “INC” or “DEC” button. All data will return to factory set, the Digital Display indicates “dF”.

9. If all of data is set and no other change needed, press “FUNC” Button. “- -” appears on the Digital Display, and the opener enters standby mode.

Indicate Illustration on the Digital Display When Gate Opener is Running

The left image on Digital Display symbolizes motor of gate opener 2 when the gate opener is running. The right image on Digital Display symbolizes motor of gate opener 1.
When the motor is run to gate -open direction or gate -close direction, the image on Digital Display indicates “n” or “u” respectively.
When the motor is not running, the Digital Display indicates “- -”.

Adjusting the Limit Switch

The position of Limit Switch A was fixed in factory, do not adjust it again.
Plug on the power to running gate opener, use a screwdriver to loose the screw of Limit Switch B, slide Limit Switch B to the desired closed position and fix it.
Limit setting for Gate 1 is finished now.
NOTE: Always place the magnetic ring between the Limit Switch A and B.

How to Operate

The user may operate the opener once all adjustment setting is finished.
With the gate in its closed position, press and release the remote control, the gate will move to the programmed opening position and stop.
With the gate in its opened position, press and release the remote control, the gate will move to the programmed closing position and stop.
While the gate is moving, press and release the remote control, the gate will stop moving immediately. The next command from the remote will reverse the gate direction and the gate will stop at its programmed opening/closing position.
The gate will stop in case of obstruction during opening. The command from the remote control will reverse the gate direction and the gate will stop at its programmed closing position.
The gate will reverse in case of obstruction or stall force during closing, and it will move to the programmed opening position.
NOTE: The Obstruction Sensitivity /Stall Force is adjustable in 9 levels.

Maintenance

Warning: Disconnect power before servicing.

1. Using a clean, dry cloth, 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 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 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 percent of the opener’s rating.
3. Refer to Page 21 for instructions on how to check gate force and sensitivity adjustments.

Trouble Shooting

1. Opener does not run. Digital Display indicator is not on.
   • Check if all motor are properly connected and color coded. Make sure the AC input is connected.
   • Check if the fuse in control board is bad.

2. Opener powers up but does not run.
   • Arm cable loose or disconnected. Verify that all of the wires going to the arm are secure and that the connector is properly mated to the header.
   • Arm is incorrectly installed. Disconnect the motor housing from the arm and verify that the arm moves freely.
   • Gate is excessively heavy or hinges are bad. Verify that the gate is within the ratings for this product.
   Disconnect the arms and verify that both gates swing easily. Lubricate or replace hinges as necessary.
   • Bad control board. Call technical support for help with replacement parts.

3. Gate stops immediately after it starts moving.
   • Obstruction sensed. Check safety devices and gate for obstructions.
   • Force set too low. Adjust FORCE setting until gate completes a full open/close cycle without stop. The force setting may need to be adjusted in cold weather, as the gate will not move freely.
   • Check if the MRT period is too short. Refer to page 21.
   • Incorrect power.

4. Gate opens but does not close.
   •Photocell (PBS) is set in Control Board but is not equipped (optional). Please cancel the PBS set. Refer to page 22.
   • Obstruction blocking close photo eyes, Check eyes for alignment and verify all connections and operation for safety devices.

5. Gate ignores the limit switches
   • Check that the limit switch is not faulty
   • Check that wires to the limit switch are not shorted.
   • Ensure that the motor cable is away from sources of electrical interference, such as electric fences, power lines etc.

6. Gate opens, closes or stops on its own
   •Ensure that the key for manual release is in the lock position. Please refer to Step 3 of the section “Install the Gate Opener on the Gate”.
