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.

10. 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.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. 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.

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

16. Do not permit children to play on or around the gate and keep all controls out of their reach.

NOTE:

• TOPENS Gate Operator can be used for driveway gates made by steel, wood, vinyl, and shaped as panel, tube, and chain-link. While use on solid surface gates is NOT recommended.
• Solid surface gates have a high resistance to the wind. If the wind is strong enough, the operator will obstruct and stop.

Installation Overview

Important:
The second gate opener cable should be put into the PVC conduit (not provided) which is buried underground .This protects the cable from lawn mowers and string trimmers.

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.
2. Attach the gate bracket and post bracket assy. 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), place the opener with the Post Bracket Assy. and Gate Bracket on the gate post and the gate. 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 Assy. to obtain the minimum clearance and eliminate the binding.
6. Sign the bolt-hole point on the gate post and gate. Do this by placing a punch or a sign in the middle of each bolt slot on the post bracket and the gate bracket. It allows slight adjustments to the post bracket. Then remove the opener and brackets assy. 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 post by inserting M10 x 200 bolts through each post bracket assy. 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 opener fully retracted and with the gate in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation), insert a clevis pin through the gate opener and the Post Pivot Bracket and insert another clevis pin through the gate opener and the Gate Bracket. Secure each clevis pin with a hairpin clip.

Each time you press and release the “INC” button, the figure increases by 1, and the timing increases by 1 second. Each time you press and release the “DEC” button, the figure decreases by 1, and the timing decreases by 1 second.
• When the timing is “00”, the automatic closing function is shut off and the gate will stay open. (Factory set is 60 seconds)
• Press the “FUNC” button to store the data when the desired automatic closing time is set. The Digital Display will indicate “Pb”.
• Important Note: When the auto close function is enabled, the photocell sensor is highly recommended to be installed with the gate opener for safety.

Set the Period of Soft Start

• When the Digital Display indicates “Pb”, the gate opener is ready for setting period of soft start.
• You can press the “INC” or “DEC” button to set the period of soft start. There is 1-9 seconds available in setting. Press the “FUNC” button to store the data when the period is set.
• The Digital Display will indicate “PC”. (Factory set is 3 seconds)

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 (FRP).
• E.g. When the Soft Start Period (STP) is set at 3 sec, and the GRP is 23 sec (you can calculate the GRP period by yourself, from” the arm actuator starting to move on the fully open position” to “the arm arriving at the fully close position”), 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).

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”.
• 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

• Note: Before adjusting the limit switch, refer to the chapter of “Install the Opener on the Gate”, and make sure that the rod is fully retracted when the gate is in the fully open position (for Pull-to-Open installation), or in the fully closed position (for Push-to-Open installation). Make sure that currently the rod is fully retracted.
• Note: The position of Limit Switch A was fixed in factory, do not adjust it again.

1. For Pull-to-Open Installation, adjust the limit switch B to determine the closed position:
2. Turn on power to operate the gate opener, then the arm extends to close the gate.
3. If the arm closes over the desired closed position, press the remote control to stop the opener. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw of the limit B, slightly slide the limit switch B inwards.
4. If the arm closes halfway and fails to get to the desired closed position, slightly slide the limit switch B outwards.
5. Please repeat the above steps, until the arm could arrive and automatically stop at the desired close position. Then tighten the screw firmly.
6. Limit setting for master gate is finished now. The slave gate is totally the same.
7. For Push-to-Open Installation, adjust the limit switch B to determine the open position:
8. Turn on power to operate the gate opener, then the arm extends to open the gate.
9. If the arm opens over the desired open position, press the remote control to stop the opener. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw of the limit B, slightly slide the limit switch B inwards.
10. If the arm opens halfway and fails to get to the desired open position, slightly slide the limit switch B outwards.
11. Please repeat the above steps, until the arm could arrive and automatically stop at the desired open position. Then tighten the screw firmly.
12. Limit setting for master gate is finished now. The slave gate is totally the same.

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 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 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 the instructions on how to check gate force and sensitivity adjustments.

Trouble Shooting

Opener does not run. Digital Display indicator is not on.

1. Check if the power is on. Check the input voltage at the terminal. It should be local AC power. If the voltage measures 0 suing the voltmeter, the power cable may be damaged.
2. Check if the output voltage of the transformer is 24Volts AC. If the voltage measures 0, the transformer may be overheated or damaged. Turn power off and allow transformer to cool for several minutes then reset. Replace the transformer if the symptom still exists.
3. Check the fuse in the control board. Replace the fuse if necessary.

Opener powers up but does not run.

1. Check if the arm cable is loosening. Verify that all of the wires of the arm are secure to the terminals of the control board.
2. Arm is incorrectly installed. Disconnect the motor housing from the arm and check if the arm moves freely.
3. Gate is excessively heavy or hinges are bad. Check 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.
4. Bad control board. Call technical support for help with replacement parts.

Gate stops immediately after it starts moving.

1. Obstruction sensed. Check safety devices and gate for obstructions.
2. 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.
3. Check if the MRT period is too short.

Gate opens but does not close.

1. Photocell (PBS) function is enabled in control board setting but is not equipped (optional). Please cancel the PBS setting (P9 set to 00).
2. Obstruction blocking close photo eyes, Check eyes for alignment and verify all connections and operation for safety devices.
3. Remove the BLUE&GREEN&YELLOW wires of the arm from the control board and use a jumper wire to short the ULT&COM&DLT terminals of the control board which for connecting the three wires and then try it again. The limit switch of the arm is faulty if the arm could run normally.

Gate ignores the limit switches

1. Check that the wires of the limit switch (BLUE&GREEN&YELLOW wires of the arm) are not shorted.
2. Limit switch of the arm is faulty. Replace the limit switch as necessary.

Gate opens, closes or stops on its own
Please make sure the wire connection of the arm is according to the installation of “PULL TO OPEN” or “PUSH TO OPEN”.
