OPERATION GATE OPERATOR SETUP EXAMPLES The following are example setups for the gate operator. Your specific site requirements may be different. Always setup the operator system to the site requirements, including all necessary entrapment protection devices. RESIDENTIAL: One to four residential homes sharing a gated entrance/exit, allowing vehicle access trumps security concerns COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS: A residential community (more than four homes) having one or more gated entrances/exits, allowing vehicle access trumps security concerns COMMERCIAL: Business site where security (gate closed) is important INDUSTRIAL: Large business site where security is required SETTING Quick Close switch setting AC Fail switch setting RESIDENTIAL Normally set to OFF. Normal gate close (timer or control). COMMERCIAL/GENERAL ACCESS Normally set to OFF. Normal gate close (timer or control). Normally set to BATT. Run on battery if AC power fails. Normally set to BATT. For local jurisdiction requirement, set to OPEN so that the gate will open approximately 15 seconds after AC power fail. COMMERCIAL Normally set to OFF. Normal gate close (timer or control). Normally set to BATT. Run on battery if AC power fails. INDUSTRIAL Set to ON, so that gate closes immediately after vehicle passes interrupt loop. Normally set to BATT. Run on battery if AC power fails. Low Battery switch setting Anti-Tail switch setting Normally set to OPEN. If powered from battery and battery is low, gate automatically opens and stays open. Normally set to OPEN. If powered from battery and battery is low, gate automatically opens and stays open. Normally set to OFF. Normally set to OFF. Interrupt loop Interrupt loop reverses a reverses a closing gate. closing gate. Bipart Delay switch setting Aux Relay Out - Open Limit Switch For DUAL-GATE site, set to ON for gate that delays upon opening. Typically not required. For DUAL-GATE site, set to ON for gate that delays upon opening. Use with SAMS (Sequence Access Management System). Aux Relay Out - Typically not required. Close Limit Switch Typically not required. Aux Relay Out - Gate Motion Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system). Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system). Aux Relay Out - Pre-Motion Delay Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system). Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system). Aux Relay Out - Power Attach visual alert to know when system is charging batteries (i.e. not running on batteries). Attach visual alert to know when system is charging batteries (i.e. not running on batteries). Aux Relay Out - Tamper Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system) to indicate if gate is manually tampered with by being pushed off of close limit. Attach alert signal (audible or visual alert system) to indicate if gate is manually tampered with by being pushed off of close limit. Cycle Quantity Feedback Use during servicing only to determine operator cycles. Use during servicing only to determine operator cycles. Fire Dept Open input Typically not required. Connect emergency access system (Knox box switch, SOS system, etc.) 27 Normally set to CLOSE. If powered from battery and battery is low, gate stays closed. Normally set to CLOSE. If powered from battery and battery is low, gate stays closed. Set to ON. In attempt to prevent vehicle tail-gating, interrupt loop pauses a closing gate. Set to ON.
