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 following illustration shows a dual gate configuration with a
decorative overlapping piece on the outside of the gate.
SET THE BIPART DELAY (DUAL CONTROL BOX)
BIPART DELAY/SYNCHRONIZED CLOSE
The LOCK/BIPART DELAY switch is used with dual control box
applications and serves two functions:
•
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 LOCK/BIPART
DELAY switch ON will delay from the close limit when opening and be
the first to close from the open limit.
•
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 LOCK/BIPART DELAY
switch to ON for both control boxes.
