TEST
NOTE:
Refer to the Model LA500 operator manual for
programming or installation instructions.
Bench test the arm.
1. Connect the arm into an LA500 control box for testing.
a. Wire the cables from the arm to the arm one connector of
the LED circuit card in the LA500, following the wire colors
listed on the board and shown on the connector.
b. If the model of the ebox requires entrapment protection,
connect a set of photoelectric sensors to the board to the
close eyes input, and align the photoelectric sensors on the
bench top.
c. Place timer to close in the OFF position (fully
counterclockwise).
d. Place the reversal force setting to 1 o’clock.
e. Disconnect the expansion board.
2. Learn
arm
limits.
a. Clear previous limits from the board by pressing and
holding the set open and set close buttons simultaneously
until the operator beeps. Both the set open and set close
LEDs should be flashing.
b. Place the gate toggle switch into the arm1 position.
c. Using the move gate buttons, move the travel assembly to
the outer limit of the arm. Press set close.
d. Using the move gate buttons, move the travel assembly to
the inter limit of the arm. Press set open.
e. Make sure that both the set open and set close buttons are
extinguished.
f. If the arm fails to set limits, or presents an error code
during this operation, there is either a problem with the
assembly of the arm, or an additional failure within the
arm.
3. Perform a complete open and close cycle to the arm, making
sure that no unusual noise is heard, and that the trolley
smoothly moves from open to close limits and vice versa.
a. Press the close button.
• The travel assembly should move towards the outer
limit.
• The blue LEDs on the arm top should illuminate.
b. Press the open button.
• The travel assembly should move towards the inter
limit.
• The blue LEDs on the arm top should illuminate.
c. Listen to the trolley in motion to ensure that there are no
interference or nuisance noises from the arm while the
travel assembly is in motion.
d. The blue LEDs on the arm top should illuminate.
4. If the arm passes these steps, it is ready for field placement.
