PRE INSTALLATION NOTES increase in motor current above that normally required to move the gate. THE OVERLOAD DETECTION POINT IS AN ADJUSTABLE SETTING THAT MUST BE DETERMINED AT THE TIME OF INSTALLATION. THIS SETTING MUST BE TESTED PERIODICALLY TO ENSURE PROPER OPERATION. THE MORE FREELY THE GATE WILL MOVE THE MORE SENSITIVE THIS SETTING CAN BE MADE. See Page 17. The Allstar HDSLG 1000 Vehicular Gate Operator will provide convenience and assurance to the ultimate users for many years.
A: IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES WARNING! TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS! GATE SYSTEM DESIGN AND INSTALLATION SAFETY CHECK LIST: • DO NOT locate any device (key switch, switch, key pad, card reader, etc.) in a position where it may be activated by a person reaching through the gate or while touching the gate in any manner.
A: IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES (operator reversing feature, edges, photocells) ARE OPERATING and install VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS AND VEHICLE DETECTORS for protection of user vehicles. Read the manual for information on the installation of these devices. IF VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED TO PREVENT THE GATE FROM CLOSING ON A VEHICLE, INSTRUCT THE USER TO PERIODICALLY CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE DETECTORS.
B: PREPARING THE SITE THE CONCRETE OPERATOR PAD If a suitable concrete base already exists for mounting the operator it will be necessary only to drill mounting holes. 3/4" mounting holes are located on each side of the operator. Four redhead bolts, 3/8" or 1/2" in diameter, should be used for mounting the operator. The bolt pattern is 10" wide by 16-3/4" long.
B: PREPARING THE SITE obstruction sensing adjustment to prevent one operator from overloading the other. The electrical hookup is made in the junction box located in the right front corner of the frame. See Figure 7, Page 7. 104888 Figure 7: Service Conduit NOTICE: The Installer is responsible for guarding the The AWG wire size for the electrical service depends on the distance of post mounted Idler Sprocket in back drive installations. the operator from the breaker panel.
B: PREPARING THE SITE Figure 10: Loop Diagrams 104886 WARNING! RISK OF ENTRAPAMENT VEHICLE DETECTOR LOOPS WILL NOT DETECT SMALLER VEHICLES SUCH AS MOTORCYCLES OR GOLF CARTS, OR BICYCLES OR PEDESTRIANS. PHOTOELECTRIC DETECTORS, EDGE DETECTORS AND SEPARATE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS MUST BE INSTALLED. Wiring from external controls such as guard shack, telephone entry, keypad or card reader systems should be brought to the operator by a conduit separate from the 115 VAC electrical hookup.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR TOOLS REQUIRED The following tools and materials are required for proper installation of the operator: 3. Wire cutter, stripper and crimping tools. (For attaching accessory equipment to the control box barrier strip.) 4. Standard screwdriver. (For junction box face plate.) 5. Very small standard screw driver. (For adjusting controller board trimmer potentiometers.) 6. Phillips head screwdriver. (For control box face plate.) Two 3/4" wrenches.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR NOTE: The control board comes equipped with a built-in surge protector which MAY prevent damage to the controller board in the event of a nearby lightning strike or a surge in the power lines. For the surge protector to function, and as a general precaution, the operator must be properly grounded. The third wire for the ground must be installed . ADDITIONAL LIGHTNING PROTECTION For those areas where a high probability of ground lightning strikes exists (Florida, Georgia, etc.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT HOOK-UP 104890 104891 Figure 12: Wiring a 4-Wire Receiver Figure 11: Wiring a 3-Wire Receiver All accessory equipment is hooked-up to the 11 position terminal strip located in the control box. See Figure 11. NO ACCESSORY EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE INSTALLED IN THE CONTROL BOX! If local electrical codes permit, use the operator's bottom plate for mounting accessory components. Otherwise, install the accessory equipment in an appropriate electrical box.
C: INSTALLING THE OPERATOR ancillary equipment such as a radio, loop detector or card or key pads. WIRING RADIO RECEIVERS An auxiliary transformer mounted on the AC input junction box IF THE AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER IS USED TO POWER A RADIO RECEIVER, THEN, NO OTHER EQUIPMENT MAY BE CONNECTED TO THE AUXILIARY TRANSFORMER. When a radio receiver is connected to the transformer for power, one end of the receiver relay must be connected to the common terminal on the barrier strip.

D: STARTING THE OPERATOR 107033 Figure 16: Left Hand vs. Right Hand Installation AUXILIARY transformer. (See Figure 11.) Terminal #2 of the receiver is normally the relay contact in the receiver. Connect a wire from terminal #2 of the receiver to terminal #3 (RADIO OPEN). A wire from terminal #3 of the receiver (sometimes labeled RADIO PWR) is connected to the opposite side of the auxiliary transformer winding that is labelled 24 VAC. See Figure 11 for wiring a 3-wire receiver.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR Figure 12 for connecting 4-wire receivers. BI-PARTING APPLICATION WARNING! In a bi-parting application, two operators are required, one operating in a left-hand mode, the other in a right-hand mode. Both must be wired for AC power (as previously described) but share a common set of input controls.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR LEFT- OR RIGHT-HAND INSTALLATIONS SWITCH 1 - OBSTRUCTION DETECTION • Switch 1 OFF Open Direction - The gate will stop, move in the close direction for 1/2 second and park. The operator can be configured for left- or right-hand gate installations. See Figure 16. On a normal drive installation, when standing inside the gate and facing outwards, if the operator is on the right side of the gate, it's a right-hand installation.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR T h e until it disengages the slots on the limit nut. Then, rotate the open limit nut until it engages the leaf on the open limit switch when approached from the center of the threads on the limit nut threaded shaft. Listen carefully for the "snap action" of the limit switch. It may be necessary to try this operation several times until the "click" of the limit switch is clearly identified.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR tuned to insure that the gates stop in their open positions at the same time. SETTING THE CLOSE TIMER To adjust the amount of time the close timer will hold the gate open, use the lower leftmost trimmer potentiometer next to the relay on the controller board. Review Figure 19, Page 17. SWITCH SELECTABLE OPTIONS - Make sure the three dip switches are set identically on both control boards. Close timer delay is adjustable between 2 and 100 seconds.
D: STARTING THE OPERATOR 5. FUSE F3 - 1 Amp, 250 Volt. INSTALLING THE SPROCKET GUARD The sprocket guard must be properly installed before leaving the installation. It is designed to be trimmed by the installer as needed to best fit the type of installation. For standard installations use this cut-out, one each side. Remove shaded area only. WARNING: DO NOT TRIM THE SPROCKET GUARD COVER MORE THAN IS NECESSARY TO CLEAR THE ENTRANCE AND EXIT OF THE CHAIN.
