BATTERY BACK-UP

BATTERY BACK-UP

 If the gate operator is already factory equipped with battery run, only the Right/Left Side switch and the Mode switch need to be set. The Right/Left switch simply needs to be set in the same position as the Right/Left switch on the main control board. (See page 17 for correctly setting the Right/Left switch on the control board) The Mode switch can be set in either the Mode 1 or Mode 2 position. This choice between Mode 1 or Mode 2 depends on how the installer or end user would like the gate to behave when power is lost.

 Mode 1: Gate will continue to operate when power is lost. When battery

power gets low, the gate will open and stay

open until power is restored. (Fail Secure)  Mode 2: Gate will open immediately

when power is lost and remain open until power is restored. (Fail Safe)

 If the gate operator did not come from the factory equipped with battery run, field installation of battery run is very simple. The illustration at left shows additional wiring required for battery run that is not part of the standard wiring.

 First turn power off to the gate operator.

 Disconnect the brown and red wires from terminals 13 and 14 and insulate the ends of the wires.

 Secure the charger board to the main control board by attaching to the 14 screw terminals on the left side of the control board.

 Connect a green wire from terminal 2 to terminal 15 of the control board.

 Attach an orange wire from terminal D of the charger board to terminal 18 of the main control board.

 Finally, attach a red wire from terminal A to battery positive and a black wire from terminal B to battery negative.
