INTRODUCTION
UNIT OVERVIEW
The DC SOLUTIONS model MEGA-SWING-UL swing gate operator is unique in the industry.
Setting the MEGA-SWING-UL apart are many features that make it the front runner in its class. With
standard features like:
• Built in battery backup - inherent 24 VDC backup power with regulated 24VDC for accessories.
• High torque 1/2 HP 24 volt Permanent Magnet DC motor .
• Full service controller with eight inputs and LED indicators for loops, card reader, radio, etc...
• Continuous duty operation for most types of gates.
• Reversible gate direction for right or left handed operation.
• Instant Reverse Device (IRD) monitor senses obstructions going open and close.
• Automatic open of gate when power is lost if desired (With 15 sec. delay selection).
• ANTI-TAIL GATE with QUICK CLOSE feature STOP gate in close travel if tail-gating is sensed
• Upon complete system failure (lightning, surges, etc...) gate can opened by emerg. release pin.
• All rust proof aluminum construction with baked on powder coat enamel.
• Molded Polyethylene UV stabilized cover never needs wax or paint.
• Unique Clam-Shell cover design. Cover is removed with out disconnecting the drive arm.
• Double reduction gear reducer eliminates internal chains & gears.
• Microprocessor (RISC) based electronics with watch dog reset timer.
• State of the art MOSFET motor drive technology, NO contactors or relays.
• Dynamic motor braking for precision stopping at open & closed positions.
• Soft start and stop in open and close travel motions.
• Non-Entrapment arm design, arm does not scissor over its self.
• High reliability micro switches actuate through durable limit cams on a precision ground shaft.
• Maximum Run Timer for motor (MRT) with anti-tamper protection in closing direction.
• Each unit configurable as master or slave operator.
• Safe 24 VDC low voltage motor and control wiring.
• Open architecture PCB with space for OVERDRIVE CPU for future expanded options.
• LED diagnostic center for easy on-site trouble shooting.
• Closing timer adjustable from 1-33 seconds with on / off selection.
• Tranzorb diodes on all inputs for protection against transient voltage spikes.
• Capable of being powered by 120 VAC, 220 VAC or Solar power, standard.
• Duplex outlet gives convenient supply of 120 VAC for transformers and 120 VAC accessories.
• Maximum weight of 650 lbs. Maximum length of 18 feet. (Free moving operation, NO BINDING)
• 5 year perforation warranty on cover and chassis with 1 year on electronics and mechanism.
• Input for safety edge device to reduce the possibility of entrapment -recommended.
• Input for non-contact sensing device (photo beam) for secondary entrapment protection.
• UL Listed device. (Standards certified by UL are UL-325, UL-991)
