PRE INSTALLATION NOTES The RS1000’s built-in overload detector will activate if there is an increase in force above that normally required to move the gate. The sensitivity is independently adjustable for the OPEN or CLOSE direction. THE SENSITIVITY ACTIVATION POINTS ARE ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THE SETTINGS MUST BE TESTED PERIODICALLY TO INSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE RESPONSIVE THE SETTINGS CAN BE MADE.
A: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN / INSTALLATION WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS! 104949 GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK LIST: • The RS1000 operator may be installed only on a Class I Vehicular Slide Gate. See page 3 for an explanation of the different Class locations. See the last page of this manual for the operator specifications (voltage, maximum gate weight & length etc.).
A: GATE SYSTEM DESIGN / INSTALLATION • Pinch Points: Use protective measures (guards, padded edges, etc.) to protect people from the pinch points shown in Figure 3. Attach roller guards in cantilevered gate systems to minimize the risk of hands being caught between the top of the gate and the roller. MOVING GATE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH • DO NOT consider the built-in overload detector as the primary defense system. system design.
B: PREPARING THE SITE should be used for mounting the operator. The bolt pattern for the RS1000 is 11-1/2” wide x 4-1/8” deep on center (See Figure 6). The two rear bolts, (closest to the gate), should be no closer than 4-1/2" from the near side of the gate to allow sufficient clearance for the operator's cover. The rear bolts should also be no farther than 5-1/2" from the gate if the chain brackets provided with the operator are to be used.
B: PREPARING THE SITE Figure 7: Service Conduits ATTACHING THE CHAIN BRACKETMAXIMUM WIRE SIZE NOMINAL DISTANCE DISTANCE The chain brackets provided with the RS1000 operator should be #14 100’ mounted on the the gate with the centerline of the slot200’ 8" above the top of the operator end of the chain to the300’ gate and thread #12 pad. Attach one150’ the other end through the idler pulleys and drive sprocket. #10 250’ 500’ Attach the free end to the bracket on the gate and tension the chain.
B: PREPARING THE SITE Figure 9: Loop Diagrams 104886 C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR TOOLS REQUIRED The following tools and materials are required for proper installation of the operator: 3. Wire cutter, stripper and crimping tools. (For attaching accessory equipment to the control/mechanical unit enclosure terminal strip.) Two 3/4" wrenches. (For tightening hex nuts on the chain take-up bolts.) 4. Standard screwdriver. (For junction box face plate.) 5. Phillips head screwdriver. 6.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR PLACING THE RS1000 OPERATOR WARNING! The recommended procedure for attaching the operator to the concrete pad is first to locate and drill the hole for the right rear “redhead” anchor bolt. Review Figure 6, Page 6. After placing the anchor bolt in the hole, remove the cover and lower the operator over the bolt. Make sure the two rear mounting holes on the operator are exactly the same distance from the gate.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR Figure 10: Terminal Strip Locations 110488 If a three wire receiver is to be used, the #1 terminal of the receiver is normally COMMON to both the auxiliary transformer (power input) and the radio relay. Most radio manufacturers label this terminal as 24 VAC. Connect a wire from the #1 terminal of the radio receiver to terminal #1. The #2 terminal of the radio receiver is normally the relay contact of the receiver.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR WIRING A 3-BUTTON STATION CAUTION! NOTE: THREE BUTTON STATIONS MAY BE ORDERED WITH THE STOP BUTTON AS NORMALLY OPEN OR NORMALLY CLOSED. THE RS1000 WILL OPERATE ONLY WITH A NORMALLY OPEN STOP BUTTON. See Figure 12 for instructions on wiring a three button station. WIRING A KEYPAD, CARD TELEPHONE ENTRY SYSTEM READER USE THE 6-TERMINAL STRIP TO POWER A R ADIO RECEIVER O NLY .
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR CONNECTING A VEHICLE DETECTOR TO THE RS1000 For a REVERSING LOOP connection of the vehicle detector, the "relay" or "presence" output of the detector will be connected to Terminal #11 (REV LOOP) of the RS1000 and the COMMON wire will be connected to Terminal #0 or #16 (COMMON) of the RS1000. As long as a relay closure is present on these two lines, the RS1000 will not allow the gate to close. If the gate is opening, the gate will continue to open.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR TERMINAL STRIP REFERENCE CHART # DESCRIPTION NAME 12 OPEN EDGE # Momentary or continuous signal. This input is active only when referenced to the opening direction, it has no effect on the gate when closing or about to close. If activated when the gate is opening the gate will stop, pause and reverse in the close direction for 1/2 second (approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous activation will prevent the gate from moving in the open direction.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR similar) protecting an entrapment zone particular to the secondary unit could be wired to that unit only and would react individually to the detection of an obstruction. Synchronous movement would resume once the obstruction is cleared and an open or close command is received by the primary operator. 110502 SIDE VIEW CAPACITOR HV WIRE CAPACITOR CONNECTIONS To obtain synchronous operation (4 Steps): 1.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR The RS1000 is shipped from the factory with the potentiometers at their most sensitive setting. Turn the potentiometer 1/4 turn clockwise to prevent the overload circuit from tripping due to the gate's inherent friction. (See FINAL SETTING OF THE OBSTRUCTION DETECTION SENSITIVITY, Page 16.) 110503A1 WARNING! LOCATION OF OVERLOAD FORCE ADJUSTMENTS RISK OF ENTRAPMENT.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR FINAL SETTING OF THE LIMIT CHAIN CAMS SMART™ Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer (Patent Pending) If the gate stops short of being fully open or closed or if it bangs against the end stops, turn off the main power and move the appropriate limit chain cam. Each whole link on the chain represents about 1" of gate travel. The cams should only have to be moved one or two whole links in either direction to fine tune the gate's limits of travel.

TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL! sides of your gate. Keep them clean and legible. To the Owner/End User of Allstar’s Gate Operator: Read and follow the safety points on this and the following page which present the basic guidelines for the safest operation of your gate operator system. Thank you for choosing an Allstar product.
F: END USER INSTRUCTIONS GATE OPENER OPERATION AND SAFETY GUIDE AVOID ENTRAPMENT: Stay away from the path of the gate and all moving parts (gate leafs, etc.) at all times. Do not place arms or legs through the gate. Keep clear of the pinch points identified in Figure 21 below. Install guards or other safety features to prevent access to pinch point areas. Install guards on open rollers. The force of the gate can cause serious personal injury or death.
