3.4 Inherent Reverse Sensors Adjustment

Test the operator reversing sensitivity:

Momentarily jumper a wire across terminals 1 and 4 to OPEN the gate.

After opening gate reaches full speed, slowly rotate the OPEN reverse sensor clockwise until the LED

lights up and gate reverses direction. Rotate the OPEN reverse sensor back counter-clockwise

approximately 1/8 turn to decrease the sensitivity (LED will turn off). The gate will assume a soft

shutdown so momentarily jumper a wire across terminals 1 and 4 to cycle the operator.

Momentarily jumper a wire across terminals 1 and 4 to CLOSE the gate.

After closing gate reaches full speed, slowly rotate the CLOSE reverse sensor clockwise until the

LED lights up and the gate reverses direction. Rotate the CLOSE reverse sensor back counter-

clockwise approximately 1/8 turn to decrease the sensitivity (LED will turn off). The gate will assume

a soft shutdown so momentarily jumper a wire across terminals 1 and 4 to cycle the operator.

Cycle the gate a few times to be sure that it cycles completely. The current sensor may

need to be adjusted if gate will not reverse properly (See 3.5 below)

Place an immobile object along the gate path, allowing the gate to strike it while in the open and close cycles. The gate must

reverse direction after striking the object. If it does not, increase the OPEN and CLOSE reverse sensitivity (steps and )

and repeat this testing until the correct sensitivity has been achieved in BOTH directions. The operator will assume a soft

shutdown after striking and reversing the gate which will require a momentary jumper wire across terminals 1 and 4 to cycle

the operator again.

3.5 Current Sensor Adjustment

This vehicular gate operator uses a current sensing device to detect any obstructions in the path of the opening or closing gate.

The current sensor uses a sensing coil with a given number of turns through it to monitor the current flow into the operator.

Each time the wire passes through the coil, it is considered a turn. The number of turns through the sensing coil is dependant

on the operating voltage of the operator, the speed of the gate and the weight of the gate.

In general, light weight gates may require additional turns of wire through the current sensor, while heavier gates may require

less turns. In addition, the speed of the gate can affect how the current sensor works. Gates running at a higher speed may

require less turns of wire through the sensor. CAUTION – HIGH VOLTAGE: Be sure power is turned OFF before changing the

number of wire turns to the current sensor. If you are setting the reverse sensors (section 3.4 above) and reach the full sensitive

position without activating the reversing function, add an additional turn of wire through the current sensor. If you are decreas-

ing the sensitivity and the gate will not run properly, reduce the number of turns through the current sensor.

Note: Each operator must be

individually adjusted if dual

operators have been installed.

This vehicular gate operator is equipped with an inherent adjustable reversing sensor (Type A) used as the primary entrapment

protection system according to UL 325 standards. The gate will reverse direction after “physically” encountering an

obstruction in either the opening or closing gate cycle.

If the Auto-Close Timer (DIP-switch SW 1, switch 2) is ON and the gate physically encounters an obstruction during the

CLOSING cycle, it will reverse to the open position and HOLD the gate at this position (Soft shutdown condition). Another input

command is needed before the gate will reset and close again.

If the Partial Open Feature is being used and the gate physically encounters an obstruction during the CLOSING cycle, the gate

will only reverse to the FULL open limit switch setting and NOT the partial open setting.

For the reverse system to function correctly, the gate must be properly installed and work freely in both directions and the limit

switches must be properly adjusted before adjusting these sensors. The ideal adjustment will allow the operator to move the

gate through its entire travel cycle without reversing, but will reverse upon contact with an obstruction with no more than 40

Lbs of force. This force can be measured with a gate scale, P/N 2600-225.
