FINAL SETTING OF THE MOTOR OVERLOAD SENSITIVITY

The motor overload sensitivity was preset for each direction before turning on the main power to prevent the operator from "self- tripping" during the preliminary adjustment period.

Adjust the Open Overload Force potentiometer, see Figure 20 fully counter-clockwise then approximately 1/16 of a turn in the clockwise direction. Start from the closed gate position and give the GS4000 an open command and observe the Gate. If the gate stops and reverses anywhere in the cycle turn the Open Overload potentiometer approximately 1/16 in the clockwise direction. Repeat this process until the gate will open without the Open Overload tripping and with the Open Overload potentiometer in the most counterclockwise direction. (Make sure the gate swings easily and there are no obstructions in the path of the gate.)

Repeat the above adjustment procedure for the close direction.

CAUTION: During this process the alarm will sound if the overload sensor is activated two sequential times before the gate reaches a limit (open or close). To reset the alarm sensor use constant pressure on a control button connected to the OPEN or CLOSE input and move the gate to a fully open or closed position or turn off and restore the power to the operator.

When you are satisfied that you have the best settings, test these settings by striking the gate a sharp blow with the palm of your hand in both the open and close direction. The OVERLOAD should respond immediately to your blow. If the Torque Limiter slips before the overload is detected, the Torque Limiter will need to be tightened. The purpose of the Torque Limiter is to protect the mechanical components of the GS4000 (primarily the Gear Box). The Torque Limiter should be adjusted so that the OVERLOAD will be activated before slippage occurs.

IMPORTANT ! THE OVERLOAD POTENTIOMETERS MUST BE ADJUSTED TO THE MOST SENSITIVE POSITION POSSIBLE WITHOUT CAUSING "SELF- TRIPPING" DUE TO THE GATE'S INHERENT FRICTION OR TO VARIATIONS IN THE GATE HINGE. TRY ADJUSTING THE POTENTIOMETERS SEVERAL TIMES BY SMALL INCREMENTS, TESTING THE OVERLOAD BY STRIKING THE GATE WITH YOUR PALM IN BOTH DIRECTIONS OF TRAVEL. REPEAT THIS TEST UNTIL YOU ARE SATISFIED YOU HAVE THE MOST SENSITIVE SETTING OF THE POTENTIOMETERS.

Disconnect the crank arm from the output shaft to permit re- installation of the cover on the mechanical unit. Install the operator cover and secure it to the frame with (2) 1/4-20 hex bolts. Remember to re-install the rain seal on the output shaft. Re-connect the gate arm on the GS4000 and secure it with the padlock provided. Complete the installation by replacing the cover on the Control box.

Review the Installation Notes in Section A of this manual and

describe the gate system operation to the end user. Review the Gate Operator System Operation and Safety Guide in Section F of this manual with the end user.

You are now ready to install and connect the ancillary

equipment. INSTALLATION STEPS DETAILED IN SECTIONS A, B, C AND D MUST BE COMPLETE BEFORE PROCEEDING.

1. Installing Entry Devices

After you are satisfied that all the loops are functioning properly, proceed with the installation of any additional entry devices, such as a Radio Receiver, Telephone Entry or Key Pad. Connect the Radio Receiver and observe the precautions regarding radio receivers described on page 15. Other entry devices MUST be connected to the appropriate terminal(s) as their functions warrant as described on pages 17 through 19.

2. Installing a Magnetic Lock

The GS4000 can (as an option) be configured and wired to provide a closed contact to control the power to a Magnetic Lock. This option must be ordered at the same time as the operator or as a kit installation after the original installation.

The magnetic lock must be powered by an external source, the operator provides only a contact to energize and de-energize the lock.

Note: the Allstar GS1000 (slide gate operator) uses the same Control Board as the GS4000, except for the configuration of the LOCK circuitry. If the LOCK is energized when the gate is opening or closing, a GS1000 Control Board has been accidentally installed in your GS4000 operator. It must be replaced with a GS4000 BOARD.

The Magnetic Lock will be released by the GS4000 about 100 milliseconds prior to giving the gate an Open Command. This time delay is to allow the magnetic field in the Magnetic Lock to decay and release the Lock prior to starting the gate.
