INSTALLATION
Install entrapment protection devices according to the UL 325 Entrapment
Protection Requirements section, see page 3. Use the Site Planning Safety
Checklist in the appendix, to identify entrapment zones that will result from
the installation. See Accessories for approved entrapment protection devices.
Requirements
- Install entrapment protection devices for ALL entrapment zones. This operator has an inherent entrapment protection device built-in. The installer MUST provide one additional entrapment protection device for each entrapment zone.
- The operator will NOT run unless a minimum of two external devices are connected; one in the open direction and one in the closed direction.
- Test ALL entrapment protection devices AFTER installing the operator, refer to the manual provided with your entrapment protection device. Test the inherent entrapment protection by following the Obstruction Test instructions page 23.
See Wire Entrapment Protection Devices page 14.
The illustration is for example only; your site may have additional entrapment
zones which MUST be protected.
Wire Entrapment Protection Devices
There are three options for wiring external entrapment protection devices
depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to
the manual included with your entrapment protection device for more
information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored
devices, which include pulsed photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors,
and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may
be wired to each input. Additional monitored entrapment protection devices may
be wired to the expansion board.
NOTE : Board inputs for entrapment protection devices are yellow.
**Control Board
**
CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric sensor
entrapment protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed
during gate closing the gate will open to the full open position and resets
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment protection
for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during gate closing the
gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging the Timer-to-Close.
This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or edge
sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an obstruction is
sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4 seconds then stop. This
input will be disregarded during gate closing.
Expansion Board
EYE ONLY and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors, the functionality is based on
the switch settings (located next to the terminals)
Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed
Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is sensed
EYE/EDGE and COM
Open or Close Direction Photoelectric Sensors or Edge Sensor, the
functionality is based on the switch settings (located next to the terminals)
Switch set to CLOSE: gate reverses fully when an obstruction is sensed
Switch set to OPEN: gate reverses 4 seconds when an obstruction is sensed
**WIRELESS EDGE
**
Connection for wireless edge receiver.
NOTE: ONLY one wireless edge receiver may be connected to an operator. Up to 4 wireless edge transmitters, LMWETXU may be programmed to the receiver.
Earth Ground Rod
Use the proper earth-ground rod for your local area. The ground wire must be a
single, whole piece of wire. Never splice two wires for the ground wire. If
you should cut the ground wire too short, break it, or destroy its integrity,
replace it with a single wire length.
NOTE: If the operator is not grounded properly the range of the remote
controls will be reduced and the operator will be more susceptible to
lightning and surge damage.
Power Wiring
To reduce the risk of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH:
- ANY maintenance to the operator or in the area near the operator MUST NOT be performed until disconnecting the electrical power (AC or solar and battery) and locking-out the power via the operator power switch. Upon completion of maintenance, the area MUST be cleared and secured, at that time the unit may be returned to service.
- Disconnect power at the fuse box BEFORE proceeding. Operators MUST be properly grounded and connected in accordance with national and local electrical codes. NOTE: The operator should be on a separate fused line of adequate capacity.
- ALL electrical connections MUST be made by a qualified individual.
- DO NOT install ANY wiring or attempt to run the operator without consulting the wiring diagram.
- ALL power wiring should be on a dedicated circuit and well protected. The location of the power disconnect should be visible and clearly labeled.
- ALL power and control wiring MUST be run in a separate conduit.
The operator can be wired for either 120 Vac or 240 Vac or a solar panel (not
provided). Follow the directions according to your application. An optional
Transformer Kit (Model 3PHCONV) can be used to change the input voltage
(208/240/480/575 Vac) to an output voltage of 120 Vac (refer to Accessories).
For dual gate applications, power will have to be connected to each operator.
The main power supply and control wiring MUST be run in separate conduits.
NOTE: If using an external receiver use shielded wire for the connections
and mount the receiver away from the operator to avoid interference from the
operator.

All control wiring used to connect external devices to Class 2 circuits of the
operator must be (QPTZ) Power-Limited Circuit Cables, Type CL2, CL2P, CL2R, or
CL2X or other cable with equivalent or better electrical, mechanical, and
flammability ratings.
-
Turn off the AC power from the main power source circuit breaker.
-
Run the AC power wires to the operator.
-
Make sure the operator AC switch is in the OFF position, see page 16.
-
Remove the junction box cover from the electrical box by loosening the screws and sliding the cover to the side.
-
120 Vac: Factory default is 120 Vac. Skip to 6.
240 Vac: Unplug the power wiring connector from the 120 Vac socket (factory default location) and plug it into the 240 Vac socket. NOTE: The accessory outlets are disabled and cannot be used with the 240 Vac option. -
Connect the incoming green wire to the earth ground nut.
-
Connect the white wire to NEUTRAL using a wire nut.
-
Connect the black wire to HOT using a wire nut.
-
Replace the junction box cover. Ensure the wires are not pinched.
AC Power Switch
The AC switch on the operator turns the incoming 120/240 Vac power ON or OFF.
The AC switch ONLY turns off AC power to the control board and DOES NOT turn
off battery power.
Battery Switch
The battery switch turns the battery power on or off.
