Preparing to install the IntelliSlide-5000-S
Consider the following when installing an IQ-5000-S:
•
Survey the desired location for the gate. Make sure that the opening is far enough away from a main
road or heavy traffic. Be sure to allow enough distance away from the road so that a vehicle can
approach the gate without obstructing traffic. Twenty-five feet from the road should be sufficient, but
compliance with local codes should be observed.
•
Keep power requirements in mind. The IQ-5000-S is capable of operating with a supply of power from a
solar panel that consists of at least 20 watts. AC power is recommended to consist of 110 to 220 volts.
AC power is the preferred method of supply.
•
Depending on soil conditions, set the concrete pad at least 2 feet in the ground with an abundance of
concrete. Check and conform to local codes.
•
Install the gate with the incline of the road in mind. For proper operation, the gate must slide back and
forth at a level plane.
For Master / Slave Applications
:
•
It is recommended that a total linear footage distance of 90 feet is not exceeded when running the power
and communication wires between the master and slave operators. When using larger gauge wires, a
junction or terminal block (not included) may be required. If the wire run distance is to exceed 90 feet,
please consult IQ Gate Systems for other options.
•
Be sure to provide a ¾” conduit between the two gates if they will be set up as bi-parting.
•
When programming the IQ Control Board for a Master / Slave application, be sure to change the number
of operators in the “Motor Drive Menu” to 2 operators. Also, make note of what operator is Motor 1 and
what operator is Motor 2 when selecting the on board slide switch on the motor board labeled “M1 – M2”.
Utilizing the new “Interface Board”, a Master/Slave installation requires 5 (five) wires between the Master
operator and the Slave operator. AC power or Solar power is required at each operator. The 5 (five) wires will
be connected in parallel from operator to operator on the following terminals on the Interface Board:
Rx+ to Rx+
Rx- to Rx-
Tx+ to Tx+
Tx- to Tx-
GND to GND
