RIGHT OR LEFT HAND OPERATION
UNIT SHIPS AS RIGHT-HAND
Method 1:
No longer used as of August 16, 2003. The S1-7
switch will be redefined.
Method 2:
Reverse the BLUE and ORANGE wire from the
motor and at J4 from the limit switches. With this method
DO NOT switch S1-7 to the ON position – leave in OFF position.
RIGHT HAND OPERATION
the motor (J4) and limit switch (J2)
wires will be
BLUE
then
ORANGE
NOTE:
Right hand operation is the default setting from the
factory.
LEFT HAND OPERATION
the motor (J4) and limit wires (at J2)
will be
ORANGE
then
BLUE.
As a
RIGHT HAND OPERATOR
the
LIMIT SWITCH
closest to the
gear box is the
CLOSE LIMIT.
As a
LEFT HAND OPERATOR
the
LIMIT SWITCH
closest to the
gear box is the
OPEN LIMIT.
LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENTS
Disconnect power from operator. In order to adjust limit nuts, the
detent plate must be pushed down to allow free movement.
Spinning the nut closer to the switch will cause the gate to stop
sooner when approaching that switch. Spinning it away will delay
the nut in reaching that switch. With power disconnected,
(batteries and ac power) gate can be pushed open and closed to
assist in limit switch adjustments. After initial settings connect
power then run gate open and close to fine tune settings.
Remember to set the fast run timer (page 13) to allow gate to run
at the fast speed for as much of the gate travel as possible, but
still ensuring that it will slow down just before reaching the
closed position.
INSTANT REVERSE DEVICE (IRD)
The reverse device is an internal circuit that continuously
monitors the motor’s current for increased draw. This operator
has been shipped with the IRD1 set to a typical setting that will
likely move the gate from limit to limit. If necessary, the
sensitivity of this device can be adjusted by turning the IRD1 to
the right (CW, more sensitive) or left (CCW, less sensitive) in
small increments.
ADJUSTMENT
While running the gate open and closed, verify that the gate
travels as expected. Verify that the operator reverses off a rigid
obstruction located 1' from both the open and close limit. If the
operator does not reverse, adjust the IRD1 CW (more sensitive)
in small, 1 hour increments until the gate reverses off the 1'
obstruction. The gate should continue to travel from the open and
closed limits as expected.
If the gate did not complete the full open and closed travel, the
IRD1 setting should be incremented CCW (less sensitive) in
small, 1 hour increments until the gate travels the full distance.
Verify that the operator reverses off a rigid obstruction located 1'
from both the open and closed limit.
Seasonal ambient temperature changes may make IRD1
adjustments necessary. If during the setup, a double entrapment
condition occurs, refer to the troubleshooting section to rest the
gate.
A D J U S T M E N T S
To prevent possible SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH:
• After ANY adjustments, verify that the operator reverses off a
rigid obstruction located 1' from both the open and close
limits.
• Test instant reverse device (IRD) monthly.
• Adjustment MUST be made by qualified service personnel.
