m OPERATION
The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability can operate in a AUTO CLOSE TIMER (TIMER ON) or
a PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE (TIMER OFF) mode of operation. In the AUTO CLOSE TIMER
mode of operation the operator is given a command to open the gate and hold it open until the input
is released and until the auto close timer has elapsed at which point the operator will close the gate
automatically. In the PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE mode of operation each time a signal is
sent to the operator, it will cause it to do the opposite of what it did before. (i.e., If the gate is closed, it
will start opening, if it is open, it will start closing: If it is closing, it will REVERSE TO OPEN, if it is
opening, it will REVERSE TO CLOSE.)

m CONTROLS
The AGS 2000 Full Systems Capability works with the following control devices: Radio
transmitters and their receiver (specified by and available from the manufacturer). Key switches,
Push buttons (separate or intercom), numerical key pads and any peripheral equipment which can
supply normally open or normally closed contacts. These contacts can be connected to the operator
input terminals to perform the opening, close, safety, or the stop functions.

m AUTO CLOSE TIMER
The operator comes factory preset with the auto close timer turned OFF. The auto close timer
will close the gate automatically after a specific amount of time has elapsed. The amount of time can
be easily adjusted between 0 and 45 seconds by turning a small "pot" located on the right edge of the
circuit board (See page 17). The timer can be disabled or activated by flipping a single switch located
on the top right edge of the circuit board. If the timer will be used it is recommended that some type of
supplementary safety device be installed. If more time is required, there is an extended timer
available from the manufacturer allowing up to 100 min. (See Options)

m MANUAL RELEASE SWITCH
This simple on-off switch is built into the operator. In an emergency, EVEN WITH THE
POWER OFF, the gate can be pushed open manually after flipping the switch from Operate to
Release. This switch may also be removed and placed externally from the machine.

m GATE SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT FOR SYSTEM PROTECTION
The amount of force necessary to stop the gate can be adjusted to conform to the various
sizes and weights of any particular gate. When adjusting the sensitivity, the operator can be given
only as much energy as is necessary to overcome the resistance of the gate. If the gate should strike
an obstruction in the closing direction, the gate will reverse to the open position. If the gate should
strike an obstruction in the opening direction, the gate will stop and remain stopped until commanded
to return to operation. (See page 17.)

m MASTER AND SLAVE
Some very large entrances may require the use of two gates. If this is the case, the two gates
can be easily automated using the "master and slave" configuration. This configuration uses two
gates and two operators in ONE driveway. The operators used are two regular AGS 2000 Full
Systems Capability operators one of which is of standard "right hand operation" and the other which
is easily converted to "left hand operation" by flipping a single switch located at the top of the circuit
board. (See page 17.)
