The gate operator is designed to work differently while opening then while closing to optimize safety, so the direction of the operator will need to be set. Setting the operator direction is done by flipping the right/ left side switch located at the top of the circuit board. For a left side installation flip the switch to the left and for a right side installation, flip the switch to the right (see illustrationabove).
If it is desirable to have the gate close automatically after the gate has opened, flip the auto close timer switch to the ON position. Adjust the amount of time the gate stays open by turning the timer adjust- ment pot counter clockwise for less time or clockwise for more time. The range is roughly 0~45 seconds.
For protection of the over all system there are two "sensitivity" adjustments on the circuit board for the open and close direc- tions. Turning the pots clockwise "increase" will cause the gate to stop or reverse more easily if there is an obstruction preventing the gate from moving. Turning the pots counter- clockwise "decrease" will cause the gate to push harder before it stops or reverses. If adjusted properly, the sensitivity will cause the gate to reverse if the gate meets an obstruction. Additionally, if the gate again meets an obstruction before reaching a limit, the gate will stop, remain stopped, and will sound an alarm until reset with an open input at terminal 5. If no reset is given, the alarm will sound for approximately 5 minutes. If adjusted too sensitive the gate may stop or reverse under it's own weight, without being obstructed and the sensitivity will need to be slightly decreased. Temperature, wind, and other environmental factors may also effect the sensitivity, so the setting should be made with these factors in mind. Before finalizing an installation always test the sensitivity by applying pressure against the gate while it is moving to make sure it will stop or reverse.
