TO

CLOSE

CURRENT SENSITIVITY

TIMER TO CLOSE ADJUSTMENT

Rotate clockwise to increase time before gate closes.

Rotate counter clockwise to decrease time before gate closes. If program switch #3 is on, the gate must activate the open limit switch in order for the timer to close to operate.

CURRENT SENSITIVITY

Rotate clockwise to decrease sensitivity (more force). Rotate counter clockwise to increase sensitivity (less force). WARNING: The CURRENT SENSITIVITY should be adjusted to prevent injury in the event of someone being entrapped in the gate. This feature should be periodically tested to assure proper operation. Refer to SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.

LED ENABLE

LED ENABLE

Enables LEDs for installation and troubleshooting (must be de- pressed to observe LEDs).

Fuses

There are 4 standard automotive type fuses on the 635/636 circuit board. The EMERGENCY BY-PASSplug is protected by a 15 Amp fuse. The remaining three fuses (one for each of the 12 Volt outputs) are 3 amp.
