Force and Timer to Close

FORCE ADJUSTMENT

The operator is equipped a with an obstruction sensing feature. If the gate encounters an obstruction the operator will automatically reverse direction and stop. Based on the length and weight of the gate it may be necessary to make force adjustments. The force adjustment should be high enough that small objects such as branches or wind will not cause nuisance interruptions but low enough to prevent serious injury to a person or a vehicle.

To adjust the force:

Using the 3-button remote or the Single Button Control (SBC) button on the control board, open and then close the gate. If the gate stops or reverses before reaching the fully open or closed position increase the force by turning the force control slightly. Run operator through a complete cycle.

NOTE: Weather conditions can affect the gate movement, so seasonal adjustment may be required. The force control is factory set to the mid position.

TIMER-TO-CLOSE (TTC)

The TIMER TO CLOSE feature can be set to automatically close the gate after a specified time period. The TTC is factory set to OFF.

If the TTC is set to the OFF position, then the gate will remain open until the operator receives another command from a remote control or SBC.

To set the TIMER TO CLOSE:

Rotate the TIMER TO CLOSE dial to the desired setting. The range is 0 to 180 seconds, 0 seconds is OFF.

NOTE: Any radio command, SBC, or CLOSE command on the control board prior to the TTC expiring will close the gate. The TTC is reset by any signals from the loops, close edges, and close safety sensors (IR’s).

Without a properly installed safety reversal system, persons (particularly small children) could be SERIOUSLY INJURED or KILLED by a closing gate.

•Too much force on gate will interfere with proper operation of safety reversal system.

•NEVER increase force beyond minimum amount required to close gate.

•NEVER use force adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.

•If one control (force or travel limits) is adjusted, the other control may also need adjustment.

•After ANY adjustments are made, the safety reversal system MUST be tested. Gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid object.
