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).

✓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. In dual swing gate installations, typically one operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is programmed for delayed close.

•Stagger Delay Time

The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.

See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate programming functions.

Gate Operation

Open Button

Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended until the OPEN button is released.

Close Button

Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if the gate is in the process of opening.

Stop Button

Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.

Single Input

Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open (open-close programming option). Activating the input while the gate is moving will reverse the gate.

Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is moving (open-stop-close programming option).

Fire Department Input

Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button to release the lockout.

Open Input

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Open Obstruction

While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout, and sound the emergency alarm.

Close Obstruction

Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.

Reverse Input

If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will close when the Auto Close Timer expires.

Open Loop

Functions the same as the OPEN button.

Reverse Loop

Functions the same as the reverse input.

Shadow/Reset Loop

Only used with Swing Gates. Holds the gate fully open or fully closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately when cleared.
