SECTION 2 - AC POWER TO OPERATOR(S) Before attempting to connect any wiring to the operator, be sure that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position. Permanent wiring must be installed to the operator as required by local electrical codes. It is recommended that a licensed electrical contractor perform this work.
2.2 High Voltage Terminal Connection • Route incoming AC power wire through the high voltage conduit and run wire in the operator electronic box as shown. • Be sure wiring is installed in accordance with local codes. Be sure to color code all wiring. • It is recommended that a surge suppressor be installed on the high voltage power lines to help protect the operator and circuit board from surges and power fluctuations. • Dual operators (Primary/Secondary) require AC power to EACH operator.
SECTION 3 - ADJUSTMENTS The switch settings and adjustments in this chapter should be made after your installation and wiring to the operator(s) is complete. Whenever any of the programming switches on the circuit board are changed, power must be shut-off, and then turned back on for the new setting to take effect. 3.1 4404 Circuit Board Description and Adjustments LEDs Indicates that low voltage power is applied to the circuit board.
3.2 DIP-Switch SW 1 and SW 2 Settings The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board are used to program the operator to operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF and then turned back on for the new setting to take affect. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator. Typical Settings SW 1 - Right 8 Switches ON 1 2 3 4 ON SW 2 is Upside-Down on Circuit Board.
3.2 Continued The two DIP-switches located on the circuit board (Upside-Down )are used to program the operator to operate in various modes and to turn on or off various operating features. Whenever a switch setting is changed, power to the operator must be turned OFF and then turned back on for the new setting to take affect. Check and review ALL switch settings prior to applying power to the operator.
Check the polarity: Position the gate half way open. Give open command and while gate is opening, activate the appropriate limit switch with your finger. Gate should STOP. If it does not, activate the other limit switch. If this STOPS the gate, AC power wires must be changed (Reverse the connection of any 2 wires and re-check limits). 3.
3.4 Inherent Reverse Sensors Adjustment 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.
3.6 AC Module Adjustment 9500s are equipped with an AC module that allows you to adjust the speed of the gate from 0 to 2 ft/ sec or 0 to 4 ft/sec on the high speed models. To adjust the speed, simply rotate the speed control knob clockwise to increase the gate speed, or counterclockwise to decrease the gate speed. The digital readout on the AC module will display the gate speed. 10 HP AC Module L1 L2 Min Max Speed 1 ft/s .5 ft/s 15 HP AC Module L3 1. 0 EPM L1 2 ft/s 1.5 ft/s 1 ft/s L3 3.
SECTION 4 - ENTRAPMENT AND SAFETY PROTECTION Secondary Entrapment Protection Devices: In addition to the inherent reversing sensor system, the Model 9500 has a 6-pin UL 325 terminal for the connection of photo sensors-Type B1 and reversing edges-Type B2 secondary entrapment protection devices required by UL 325 standards. Entrapment protection devices must be installed to reduce the risk of injury. Install these devices where the risk of entrapment or obstruction exists while the gate is moving.
4.2 Secondary Entrapment Protection Device Locations Typical UL Photo Sensor mounting height and distance away from gate. 5” or Less Outside Property Reversing Edge (Open Contact Sensor) Note: Additional photo sensors can be added above the 27.5” height.
