3.5 OPERATING TESTING
Be sure that power to the barrier operator is OFF before changing any programming switches, or
wiring any control devices to the operator. Be sure that the barrier arm(s) ARE NOT INSTALLED
AT THIS TIME!
1. Set the programming selection switches on the circuit board for the desired operation.
Anytime the programming switches are changed, power to the operator must be turned
OFF, and then turned back ON for the changes to take affect.
2. Be sure that the AC POWER and DC POWER toggle switches are in the OFF position,
and that the control toggle switch is in the center (neutral) position.
3. Turn the AC power switch to the ON position. The operator should not start. The power
LED on the control board should be illuminated. Either the UP LED or the DOWN LED
may be illuminated depending on the position of the output shaft. If neither LED is
illuminated, this indicates that the shaft is between the magnetic limits.
4. If the UP LED is illuminated, push the control toggle switch to the DOWN position. The
shaft should rotate until the DOWN LED illuminates.
If the DOWN LED is illuminated, or if neither LED is illuminated, push the control toggle
switch to the UP position. The shaft should rotate until the UP LED illuminates.
5. Operate all keying devices (radio control, key switch, card reader, telephone entry
system, digital lock, Fire Department lock box, open loop, etc.) to be sure that they
activate the barrier arm operator.
6. Check the operation of the down loop (if used). When the UP LED is illuminated,
activation of the DOWN loop should have no effect on the operator. When the down loop
is deactivated (the vehicle leaves the loop area), the operator shaft should rotate to the
down position. Activation of the down loop while the DOWN LED is illuminated should
have no effect on the operator.
7. Check the operation of the reverse loop (if used). When the UP LED is illuminated,
activation of the reverse loop should hold the timer and prevent the operator shaft from
rotating down. Activation of the reverse loop while the operator is rotating the shaft to the
down position should cause the shaft to reverse direction to the up position. Activation of
the reverse loop while the DOWN LED is illuminated should have no effect on the
operator.
8. Adjust the auto close timer for the desired time that the arm will remain up before
automatically closing (1-23 seconds).
