Service manual
NOTE 1: MAXIMUM AMBIENT TEMPERATURE FOR INSTALLATION, 140 F.
NOTE 2: FOR AUTOMOTIVE USE ONLY, NO MOTORCYCLES, BICYCLES OR PEDESTRIANS.
WIRING AND HOOKUP (Only by a qualified electrician/installer!)
120 VAC
Be sure your main power (120vac) is OFF before attempting hookup. The 120 volts AC supply should be
terminated to the wires below the duplex receptacle. Connect the 120 VAC to BLACK wire, Neutral to the
WHITE wire and Ground the GREEN wire.
Warning- Do not connect any 120 VAC wires directly to the
terminal strips on the electronic control board. Only U.L. approved 14 AWG ( or larger) 600 volt insulated
wire should be used. A separate UL approved 10 amp circuit breaker should be used for each MEGA-SWING-
UL operator.
BATTERIES MUST BE INSTALLED AFTER 120VAC POWER IS TURNED ON.
See BATTERY
at page 3 and 120 VAC wiring on page 4.
INPUT COMMANDS (Use common & normally open contacts from devices connected to these inputs)
JP2 INPUT- THIS INPUT WILL STOP THE GATE AND ACTIVATE THE SIREN.
This input is for connection to wired contact edge sensors at pinch points and photo beams that run along
either side the gate panel when in open position (if dead panel is present one beam should run along it)
INPUT COMMANDS-J5 CONNECTOR BLOCK AT TOP OF CONTROL BOARD.
Control wire connections at low voltage terminal strip will be at the top of the electronic control board. Make
connections to the appropriate points for the desired operation. Wires should be U.L. approved 600 volt rated
and at least 18 awg. They are to be routed through the Nylon wiring loops on the right side of the chassis. All
external control devices must have normally open dry contacts.
DO NOT
CONNECT ANY DEVICE WHICH
WOULD DELIVER ANY VOLTAGE OF ANY KIND TO THESE TERMINALS.
Terminals 9, 10, 11, 12 are the commons (0 VDC) used to activate the following inputs.
1, 2, 3 OPEN- These inputs will trigger gate open when pulsed or hold gate open with maintained contact.
When released gate will close if closing timer is on or if close input is given.
4, AUXILIARY OPEN-(THIS IS THE WIRED LINE OF SIGHT, INTENDED MANUAL RESET INPUT)
Use this input to reset the unit after a 2nd sequential obstruction is sensed and gate is locked
with siren is running. This input normally functions as listed below.
Acts same as 1,2,3, above with S2-6 off. With S2-6 ON this will operate as a pulse-open, pulse-close.
Note: Pulse to close will only work when gate is at full open position.
Version 6.34 or higher only, SIREN will run for 5 minutes after 2nd sequential obstruction, then turn its self
off, however operator will require a reset signal the to J5 #4 to re-activate gate. In addition, cycling the AC
power switch will also reset unit.
5, SAFETY- Safety edge(s) and safety loop input. This function will make the gate reverse and go back to
the open position if it was closing. Input is for all NORMALLY OPEN contact safety devices. This input is
disabled when gate is in the full closed position.
6, CLOSE- ANTI-TAIL GATE close input. When using a vehicle detector, you must use the presence contacts
(N.O. & C.) This input will QUICK close gate after input is applied and then removed. It will stop the open cycle
and reverse gate to close. (Example: Car crosses over close loop before gate reaches full open position- gate
will reverse and close). (Note: The close input also acts as a safety-stop in that if gate is closing and a tail-
gater is sensed at the close input, the gate WILL STOP its closing motion and not continue to close until the
close input is removed (car backs up) or gate is re-opened).
