ADJUSTMENT FINE TUNE THE FORCE The FORCE DIAL on the control board is used for fine tuning the force in cases where wind or environmental changes may affect the gate travel. 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 force setting adjustment (see below). ADJUST THE LIMITS If the limits have already been set the operator will exit the limit setting mode after resetting each limit. Each limit is set separately by following steps 1-3 of the Initial Limit and Force Adjustment section. LIMIT AND FORCE ADJUSTMENT + OBSTRUCTION TEST 1 XMITTER NETWORK OPEN CLOSE STOP RESET ALARM NETWORK 2 60 180 MIN MAX BATT LOW ERASE LIMITS 1 To erase the limits, press and hold the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE buttons simultaneously (5 seconds) until both the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs blink rapidly and the operator beeps. 2 Release the buttons and the SET OPEN and SET CLOSE LEDs will blink slowly indicating the limits will need to be set. OBSTRUCTION TEST The operator is equipped with an automatic obstruction sensing feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction during motion, the operator will automatically reverse direction of the gate for a short time and then stop the gate. After any adjustments are made, test the operator: 1 Open and close the gate with the TEST BUTTONS, ensuring that the gate is 1 stopping at the proper open and close limit positions. 2 Place a solid object between the open gate and a rigid structure. Ensure that the gate, the solid object, and the rigid structure can withstand the forces generated during this obstruction test. 3 Run the gate in the close direction. The gate should stop and reverse upon contact with the solid object. If the gate does not reverse off the solid 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 a solid object. 4 Repeat the test for the open direction. 22 SET OPEN SET CLOSE BIPART DELAY OFF PRESS & RELEASE TO BEGIN RESET ALARM RESET ALARM ! 2 ProInpseirdtye PrOopuetsritdye ! 3 ProInpseirdtye PrOopuetsritdye
