Dual Gate Installations
Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The
operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire
COMM LINK terminals.
When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection
signals the other operator to activate. Each operator
functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring
its inputs and accessories.
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect
two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N
2500-1982, per foot.
q
NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM
LINK terminal “C” in both operators.
Three of the programming functions available are only used
for dual gate installations:
• Dual Gate Enable
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
• Stagger Mode
The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator
has a delayed open or a delayed close.
• Stagger Delay Time
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the
Stagger Mode.
See Pages 12, 14, & 15 for details on these three dual gate
programming functions.
