ADJUSTMENTS
RIGHT OR LEFT HAND OPERATION: UNIT SHIPS AS RIGHT-HAND
Method 1: To change the direction of travel from a RIGHT to a LEFT HAND OPERATOR you will need to turn S1-7ON
o before turning on any power to unit. If you make a mistake you MUST turn off the AC and BATTERY power, reset the
switch for the desired operation, then turn power back on.
Note: The OPEN (OLS-D7) and CLOSE (CLS-D3) LEDs on the left of the board
will have reversed meanings with this method!
For RIGHT HAND OPERATION you will leave S1-7 in OFF position. (AS DEFAULT)
For
LEFT HAND OPERATION will put S1-7 in the ON position.
(IF YOU SWITCH S2-7 TO THE "ON" POSITION DO NOT USE METHOD #2)
Method 2: Reverse the BLUE and ORANGE wire from the motor and at J4 from the limit switches. With this method
DO NOT switch S1-7 to the ON position-leave in OFF position.
(SEE PAGE 8A FOR WIRING REVERSAL)
(Wires are read from left to right)
RIGHT HAND OPERATION the motor (J4) and limit switch (at J2) wires will be BLUE then ORANGE
(NOTE: RIGHT HAND OPERATION IS THE DEFAULT SETTINGS FROM THE FACTORY)
LEFT HAND OPERATION - the motor (J4) and limit wires (at J2) will be ORANGE then BLUE.
(SEE PAGE 8A)
As a RIGHT HAND OPERATOR the LIMIT SWITCH closest to the gear box is the CLOSE LIMIT.
As a LEFT HAND OPERATOR the LIMIT SWITCH closest to the gear box is the OPEN LIMIT.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS:
It is advised to set limit switches as close as possible BEFORE connecting power. After mounting operator and
connecting drive arm to gate, remove the release pin so you walk the gate through it entire motion. You can fine tune to
open and close stop points by adjusting the tube in the secondary arm. Next walk the gate to full open, then adjust limit
open limit switch, then do the same for the close limit switch. At closed position, arm must be in a straight line, elbow
MUST not be BENT. After initial settings connect power then run gate open and close to fine tune settings.
INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD):
The instant reverse device is an internal circuit that continuously monitors the motors current for increased draw. While
running gate open and closed, turn IRD1 fully to the left (CCW) then back to the right (CW) in small increments while
obstructing the gate in the closing motion. Set sensitivity to a level that will only reverse gate when an obstruction is
encountered. If obstructed while closing, gate will stop and reverse to the open position, time out (using the time delay
set at S-2 switches 1-5) and then close. If gate is opening when obstructed, gate will stop its open travel. If inputs are
present gate will remain stopped. If no inputs are present or existing are cleared, gate will time out and close.
WARNING - INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD) SHOULD BE TESTED WEEKLY TO INSURE
PROPER
OPERATION. IF ADJUSTMENTS ARE REQUIRED, REFER TO ABOVE PARAGRAPH.
