NAME

DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

7

CLOSE

Momentary or continuous signal. On/

 

 

Off mode set by Switch #1

 

WITH SWITCH 1 OFF: Once activated the gate will

 

close fully. Activation while the gate is opening has no

 

effect. Continuous signal required to move the gate

 

when in the alarm mode.

 

WITH SWITCH 1 ON: Gate does not respond to

 

pushbutton input when in the normal mode. Continuous

 

signal required to move the gate when in the alarm

 

mode.

 

8

STOP

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

 

 

 

Overrides all other signals. Once activated, the gate will

 

immediately stop and await a new command. If the

 

STOP input is continuously activated, the gate will not

 

move.

 

9

SHADOW LOOP

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

 

 

 

This input is active only when the gate is at rest in the

 

fully OPEN or CLOSED position, it has no effect on the

 

gate when closing or opening. Continuous activation will

 

prevent the gate from moving in the open or close

 

direction (depending on gate position). When the input

 

is removed normal operation is resumed. This input is

 

intended for a vehicle loop detector to sense a vehicle in

 

the gate path. Connect here and to terminal #16

 

COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected in

 

parallel.

 

10

CLOSE PHOTO

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

 

 

 

This input is active only when referenced to the closing

 

direction, it has no effect on the gate when opening or

 

about to open. If activated when the gate is closing the

 

gate will stop, pause and reverse in the open direction

 

for 1/2 second (approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous

 

activation will prevent the gate from moving in the close

 

direction. When the input is removed normal operation

 

is resumed. If the Timer-To-Close function initiated the

 

close movement and Switch S2 (Re-close) is ON, the

 

gate will automatically re-close from a partially closed

 

position after the input to Close Photo is removed.

 

Continuous activation while the gate is open will prevent

 

the Timer-To-Close function (if enabled) from

 

automatically closing the gate. This input is intended for

 

photoelectric eye systems and other non-contact devices

 

as appropriate. Connect here and to terminal #16

 

COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected in

 

parallel.

 

11

REV LOOP

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

 

 

 

This input is active only when the gate is closing or when

 

it’s fully open and the Close Timer is operative. All

 

stand-alone vehicle detectors, photo-eyes and active

 

edges should be connected here and to terminals #3 or

 

#13 COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected in

 

parallel.

12

OPEN EDGE

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

This input is active only when referenced to the opening

 

direction, it has no effect on the gate when closing or about to

 

close. If activated when the gate is opening the gate will

 

stop, pause and reverse in the close direction for 1/2 second

 

(approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous activation will

 

prevent the gate from moving in the open direction. If a

 

second activation occurs before the limit switch is activated

 

the gate will stop and a require a renewed, intended input to

 

move in the open direction and before an automatic

 

activation device (timer, etc.) will operate. This input is

 

intended for Electric Gate Edge systems and other minimum-

 

contact devices as appropriate. Connect here and to

 

terminal #16 COMMON. Multiple devices may be connected

 

in parallel.

 

13

CLOSE EDGE

Momentary or continuous signal.

 

This input is active only when referenced to the closing

 

direction, it has no effect on the gate when opening or about

 

to open. If activated when the gate is closing the gate will

 

stop, pause and reverse in the open direction for 1/2 second

 

(approx. 2 inches) and stop. Continuous activation will

 

prevent the gate from moving in the close direction.

 

Continuous activation while the gate is open will prevent the

 

Timer-To-Close function (if enabled) from automatically

 

closing the gate. If a second activation occurs before the

 

limit switch is activated the gate will stop and a require a

 

renewed, intended input to move in the close direction and

 

before an automatic activation device (timer, etc.) will

 

operate. This input is intended for Electric Gate Edge

 

systems and other minimum-contact devices as appropriate.

 

Connect here and to terminal #16 COMMON. Multiple

 

devices may be connected in parallel.

14

MASTER OPEN

Momentary or continuous signal. Master

 

 

(output configuration)

 

 

 

 

This terminal is used to coordinate two independent systems

 

(two control box/mechanical unit combinations controlling

 

separate gate leaves). Connects to terminal #6 (OPEN) in

 

the companion control box and controls the direction of

 

movement in the companion box (Switch S3 ON).

15

MASTER CLOSE

Momentary or continuous signal. Master

 

 

(output configuration)

 

 

 

 

This terminal is used to coordinate two independent systems

 

(two control box/mechanical unit combinations controlling

 

separate gate leaves). Connects to terminal #7 (CLOSE) in

 

the companion control box and controls the direction of

 

movement in the companion box (Switch S3 ON).

16

COMMON

Common connection for low voltage

 

 

signal inputs, terminals 3 through 15.
