The Allstar Standby Power Supply is designed to provide back- up power to a gate operator when the main AC supply voltage is interrupted or disconnected. It eliminates the need for a separate motor and control circuit to be mechanically attached to the gate operator. The SPS-50 will provide the power and a signal to the gate operator to open the gate and leave it open until the main power is restored. Once the main power is restored, the SPS-50 will provide a signal to the gate operator and the operator will close (if a timer to close is used). It is not designed to continuously cycle the gate operator. Many local building codes require this type open only back-up vs. a continuos cycle back- up.

NOTICE

BEFORE ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION, READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FEATURES OF THE ALLSTAR STANDBY POWER SUPPLY AND ITS PROPER INSTALLATION.

The SPS-50 consists of control box and a battery pack. The SPS-50 control box senses the main power, charges the battery pack, converts the DC battery voltage to AC voltage (to power the operator) and provides control signals to activate the operator when the main power is interrupted. Additionally, the SPS-50 control box has a set of relay outputs that are activated if a low battery capacity is detected. These contact may be connected to an alarm system to alert the end user that battery maintenance is required.

Gate operators are designed to start and move gates weighing as much as 1000 pounds or more and are capable of producing high levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate system that designers, installers and users be aware of the hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design, installation and use of vehicular gate systems and gate operators.

PRE INSTALLATION NOTES

As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You also have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL possible operational hazards have been considered and eliminated. YOU MUST ADVISE and WARN the purchaser and the ultimate user of ANY HAZARDS that you have not been able to eliminate.
