5. Test that the gate responds correctly to commands from the new remote
button or keypad. When you are finished pairing and testing, replace the
motor’s covers and fasteners.
For community gates, where multiple commands may accidentally be sent at the
same time, it is recommended that DIP1 on the circuit board be set to its UP
position. This will cause the device to only process commands from wireless
controls to open; it will not process any commands to pause or close the gate.
When this mode is used, DIP2 and DIP3 must be set to one of the automatic
close options or the gate will require a remote control or manual assistance
to close again.
Note
Do not fret if the power is accidentally cut; the pairing will remain.

3. Prepare the necessary length of conduit to run from this point to the
control box. 4. Dig a hole for the wand running parallel to your driveway. It
should be about 2 feet (60 cm) long,
at least 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, and about 1 foot (30 cm) deep.
44
5. Dig a trench about 1 foot deep between your hole and the control box,
making sure it will be able to easily accommodate your wiring conduit.
6. Place the wand in its hole and the conduit in its trench but do not cover
them yet.
Note
The location has to be: · On the same side of your gate as the control box for
your opener · No farther than 2 feet (60 cm) from the side of your driveway,
allowing its sensor to detect
vehicles across the width of your drive while minimizing the risk of
accidental damage · At least be 13 feet (4 m) from any public road and from
the fully open position of your gate,
minimizing the risk of accidental activation. · Be no further than 45 feet
(13.7 m) from the gate

7.5.3 Testing
1. Remove any vehicle or large potentially moving metal object from the area
around the exit wand. 2. Reconnect the gate opener and its control box to
their power source. Wait at least 60 seconds
while the system calibrates. 3. Drive your vehicle into the exit wand’s
sensing boundary to see if your gate automatically begins
to open.
Note
If the wand does not detect the vehicle, increase its sensitivity by a.
disconnecting it from power b. turning the range adjustment knob
counterclockwise c. reconnecting power, and d. waiting 60 seconds for the
system to recalibrate.
Range Adjustment If you want to limit the ability of other objects–such as
riding lawnmowers or bicycles–to automatically open the gate, test them in the
same way. Use the range adjustment knob to decrease sensitivity in the same
way as before, but turning it clockwise. Continue testing and adjustment until
you find the best sensitivity setting for your needs.
7.5.4 Wrapping UP
1. Check that the range adjustment board is still securely placed in or near the control box and will be protected against the elements.
2. Check that all electrical connections are secure and no wiring remains exposed.
3. Replace the control box cover and tighten its fasteners.
7
4. Cover the wiring trench and the exit wand’s hole, tamping down the soil by foot.
5. Test that the exit wand still works properly once covered.
