INSTALLATION
Wire the secondary operator arm to the control board:

1. Choose a knockout in the bottom of the control box.
2. Insert the extension cable through the watertight connector.
3. Insert the extension cable and watertight connector into the
knockout.
4. Slide the connector nut onto the operator cable.
5. Connect the extension cable wires to the connector according to the
colored label on the connector (white to white, red to red, etc.).
6. Plug the connector into the GATE 2 terminal on the control board as
shown.
7. Tighten the connector nut.
Set the bipart delay (single control box):

Occasionally in dual gate installations, one gate will need to open first
and close second. This would happen if there was an ornamental
overhang on one gate or if using a solenoid lock, for example. This gate
is called the Primary gate and needs to be connected to Gate 1
connections on the control board. Thus, it is preferred that the control
box be installed on the same side as this gate. If there is no appropriate
location on that side for the control box, then mount the control box on
the opposite side, but connect the operator closest to the control box to
the Gate 2 connector and the operator on the opposite side to the Gate 1
connector.
1. The BIPART DELAY switch on the control board needs to be set to
the ON position.
The illustration shows a dual gate configuration with a decorative
overlapping piece on the outside of the gate.
Set the bipart delay (dual control box)

The BIPART DELAY switch is used with dual control box applications
and serves two functions:
l BIPART DELAY: The BIPART DELAY is used in applications where a
mag-lock, solenoid lock, or decorative overlay would require one
gate to close before the other. The control box with the BIPART
DELAY switch ON will delay from the close limit when opening and
be the first to close from the open limit.
l SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE: The BIPART DELAY is also used in
applications where one gate travels a longer distance than the other.
To synchronize the closing of the gates, set the BIPART DELAY
switch to ON for both control boxes.

Wire Entrapment Protection Devices

There are three options for wiring the entrapment protection devices depending on the specific device and how the device will function. Refer to the specific
entrapment protection device manual for more information. These entrapment protection device inputs are for monitored devices, which include pulsed
photoelectric sensors, resistive edge sensors, and pulsed edge sensors. Only one monitored entrapment protection device may be wired to each input.
Additional entrapment protection devices may be wired to the expansion board.
Control Board
CLOSES EYES/INTERRUPT
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EYES/INTERRUPT input is for photoelectric
sensor entrapment protection for the close direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate closing the gate will open to the full
open position and resets the Timer-to-Close. This input will be
disregarded during gate opening.
CLOSE EDGE
(2 Terminals) The CLOSE EDGE input is for edge sensor entrapment
protection for the close direction. When an obstruction is sensed during
gate closing the gate will reverse to the full open position, disengaging
the Timer-to-Close. This input will be disregarded during gate opening.
OPEN EYES/EDGE
(2 Terminals) The OPEN EYES/EDGE input is for photoelectric sensor or
edge sensor entrapment protection for the open direction. When an
obstruction is sensed during gate opening the gate will reverse for 4
seconds then stop. This input will be disregarded during gate closing.

ADJUSTMENT
Initial Limits and Force Adjustments

For dual gate applications the limits will have to be set for each
operator. The gate MUST be attached to the operator before setting
the limits and force.
If a mistake is made while programming the limits press the reset button
to start over.
1. Set the GATE switch to the 1 position.
2. Press and release the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons
simultaneously to enter limit setting mode.
3. Press and hold the MOVE GATE buttons to move the gate to the
open or close limit.
4. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set.
5. Press and hold the MOVE GATE button to move the gate to the other
limit.
6. Press and release the SET CLOSE or SET OPEN button depending
on which limit is being set. The operator will exit limit setting
mode.*
7. Cycle the gate open and close using the TEST BUTTONS. This
automatically sets the force.
8. For dual gates set the Gate switch to the 2 position and repeat steps
2-7.
When limits are set properly the operator will automatically exit limit
setting mode.
* Dual Gates ONLY: When the limits are set on the secondary gate first
the control board will not exit the limit setting mode until the limits are
set on the primary gate.
24
ADJUSTMENT
Fine Tune the Force

Once the initial limits have been set, the REVERSAL FORCE DIAL on the
control board is used for fine tuning the force where wind or
environmental changes may affect the gate travel. The REVERSAL FORCE
DIAL is set to minimum at the factory.
Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make
additional force adjustments. The force setting should be high enough
that the gate will not reverse by itself nor cause nuisance interruptions,
but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person. The force setting is
the same for both the open and close gate directions.
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS.
2. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed
position, increase the force by turning the force control slightly
clockwise.
3. Perform the “Obstruction Test” after every limit and force setting
adjustment (see below).
Adjust the Limits

After both limits are set and the operator is ready to run, one limit can be
adjusted independently from the other by following steps 1-3 of the
Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section.
Obstruction Test
The operator is equipped with an inherent (built in to the operator)
obstruction sensing device. If the gate encounters an obstruction during
motion, the operator will reverse direction of the gate and then stop. The
following procedure will test ONLY the inherent (built in to the operator)
obstruction sensing device:
1. Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the
gate is stopping at the proper open and close limit positions.
2. Place an object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Make
sure that any external entrapment protection devices will NOT be
activated by the object.
3. Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse
upon contact with the object. If the gate does not reverse off the
object, reduce the force setting by turning the force control slightly
counter-clockwise. The gate should have enough force to reach both
the open and close limits, but MUST reverse after contact with an
object.
4. Repeat the test for the open direction.
Test the operator after any adjustments are made.

Solar Zones
Solar panel recommendations are based upon the average solar radiation and the temperature effects on batteries in the given zones as shown on the map
below. Local geography and weather conditions may require additional solar panels. Solar powered gate operator installations are not supported in
northern climates due to cold weather and a reduced number of hours of sunlight during the winter months. The cycles/day ratings are approximations.
Ratings vary based on gate construction, installation, and temperature. Solar panels cannot be installed in areas that experience long periods of heavy fog,
lake effect snow, or rain.

Position
The location of the panel(s) is critical to the success of the installation. In general, the panel(s) should be mounted using the provided angle bracket facing
due south. The solar panel(s) should be mounted in an area clear of all obstructions and shade from buildings and trees. If the panel(s) is not casting a
shadow, the battery is not being charged.
NOTE: Tall trees or buildings that do not shade the solar panel(s) in the summer could shade the solar panel(s) during the winter months when the sun sits
lower in the sky.
Installation
Solar panel(s) MUST be installed facing south. Use a compass to determine direction. Below are general instructions for installing the solar panel(s). Your
installation may vary slightly depending on the solar panel purchased.
1. Position the mounting bracket on the mounting surface. Mark and drill holes.
2. Secure the solar panel to the mounting bracket using the hex bolts, hex nuts and washers provided.
3. Secure the solar panel to the mounting surface using lag screws provided.
