Allstar Products Group ANSI/UL 325 Starting the Operator Final Settings, PRE Running Checklist

D: STARTING THE OPERATOR - FINAL SETTINGS

WARNING!

RISK OF ENTRAPMENT

OVERLOAD SENSITIVITY HAS NOT BEEN SET. DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE NEAR THE GATE AND DO NOT LEAVE GATE AND GS4000 UNATTENDED UNTIL FOLLOWING PROCEDURES HAVE BEEN COMPLETED.

USE CAUTION DURING THIS FINAL

ADJUSTMENT PERIOD.

PRE RUNNING CHECKLIST

Before running the GS4000, make sure:

1.The proper Left-or Right-hand or Bi-Parting wiring has been completed (if applicable).

2.The Limit Switch Cams have been preliminarily set.

3.The Overload Sensitivity has been preset.

4.The Switch Selectable Options have been set.

5.The Gate has been positioned in the center of it's travel.

6.The Torque Limiter is properly adjusted.

7.No other devices should be connected to the terminal strip until the powering-up procedures are completed.

RUNNING THE GS4000

Turn ON the main power switch. The Power Lamp will come on. The Alarm will sound for 1/2 second (a brief chirp), the Alarm indicator lamp will flash for 1/2 second. The gate should not move. If the gate moves in either direction turn off the power and call Factory Service for assistance.

1.Give the GS4000 a command to open by connecting the jumper wire from Terminal #16 (COMMON) to Terminal #6 (OPEN). The gate should move to the fully open position.

2.If the TIMER TO CLOSE option has been selected, the timer will activate the gate to close within a maximum of 60 seconds depending on the setting of the TIMER TO CLOSE potentiometer (See Figure 23, Page 20).

3.If the TIMER TO CLOSE is not to be used on this installation, activate the gate to Close by connecting the jumper wire from Terminal #16 (COMMON) to Terminal #7 (CLOSE). The gate should move to the fully closed position.

4.Allow the gate to close and note the position of the gate.

IF THE GATE HITS THE OPEN OR CLOSE STOPS OR EITHER THE MOTOR OPEN OR CLOSE LIGHT REMAINS ON AFTER REACHING THE MECHANICAL STOPS AND THE LIMIT SWITCH LIGHT IS "ON", TURN OFF THE

MAIN POWER SWITCH. IF THE GATE HITS THE MECHANICAL LIMIT AND THE LIMIT SWITCH LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, THE LIMIT CAM OR THE STOP WILL NEED TO BE READJUSTED.

If the gate stops short of the desired fully open or closed position or if it bangs against the end stops, TURN OFF THE MAIN POWER and reset the appropriate Limit Switch Cam. After you have attained the final adjustment, run the GS4000 open and closed several times to ensure that the positions set will be retained.

SMART™ SETTING - MAXIMUM RUN TIMER

The GS4000 is equipped with a Self adjusting MAximum Run Timer, SMART™ , that will turn the GS4000 OFF if a Limit Switch command is not received within five seconds of the time required to fully Open or Close the gate. The purpose of the Maximum Run Timer is to turn off the GS4000 if the gate should become jammed when opening or closing. In this case, the Limit Switch will not be activated. Should this occur, the Torque Limiter will slip and the pads will be worn out prematurely. The Maximum Run Timer will prevent this by turning OFF the GS4000. Once the obstruction is removed, any command will reactive the GS4000.

To set the Smart™ Maximum Run Time fully open and close the gate five (5) times. The control board will sense the time required and add approximately four seconds.

WHEN CHECKING OPERATION OF THE LIMIT SWITCHES, BE CERTAIN THE MOTOR IS BEING TURNED OFF BY THE LIMIT SWITCH AND NOT THE MAXIMUM RUN TIMER. SHOULD THE GATE REACH THE OPEN OR CLOSED POSITION AND THE RESPECTIVE LIMIT SWITCH LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON BUT THE MOTOR STOPS RUNNING, THEN THE MAXIMUM RUN TIMER IS TURNING OFF THE MOTOR. TURNING THE GS4000 OFF BY THE MAXIMUM RUN TIMER WILL CAUSE THE TORQUE LIMITER TO SLIP FOR AN UNNECESSARY AMOUNT OF TIME EACH TIME THE GATE IS OPERATED. THE TORQUE LIMITER PADS ARE NOT CAPABLE OF LONG LIFE UNDER THESE CONDITIONS. PREMATURE WEAR WILL OCCUR AND FREQUENT ADJUSTMENT OF THE TORQUE LIMITER WILL BE NECESSARY.

FINAL SETTING OF THE CLOSE TIMER

To alter the amount of time that the close timer will hold the gate open, adjust the timer potentiometer located on the Control Board. See Figure 23, page 20.

The Close Timer is adjustable from 2 to approximately 60 seconds. Turning the potentiometer clockwise increases the delay; turning it counterclockwise decreases the delay.
