CONNECT THE OPERATOR(S) TO THE
C
ONTROL PANEL
WARNING!
Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections or set any
switches inside the control panel box.
USING A JUNCTION BOX
Connecting your operator(s) to the control panel may
require the use of one or more junction boxes. Whether
you need 0, 1, or 2 U.L. Listed junction boxes depends
on your gate design (refer to Figure 10).
If any operator is more than 2 ft away from the U.L.
Listed control panel enclosure, the connection must be
made inside a junction box. Use a U. L. Listed cord grip
where the operator cord enters the junction box; use
conduit between the junction box and the enclosure.
CAUTION: The control panel will NOT operate
without an operator connected to terminals 3,
4, and 5.
If your gate system has one operator, connect the
capacitor and the brown and black (or red and black)
wires from your operator to the terminals 3 and 5 in
block J2 for Motor 1. Connect the blue (or white) wire
from the operator to terminal 4 for Motor 1.
Note: If you want to delay the closing of one
gate leaf in a two-leaf gate design, be sure to
connect its operator to Motor 1 (terminals 3, 4,
and 5).
If your gate system has two operators, connect the
second operator to terminals 6, 7, and 8 in block J2 for
Motor 2. Connect the second capacitor and the brown
and black (or red and black) wires to terminals 6 and 8,
and connect the blue (or white) wire from the operator
to terminal 7 for Motor 2.
CHECK THE MOTOR’S DIRECTION OF
R
OTATION
After you have connected the main power supply, one
activating device, and the operator(s) to the control
panel, you need to check the direction of rotation for
each operator motor in your gate design.
To check a motor’s direction of rotation, you must have
three closed circuits on terminal block J3. Install one
circuit between terminals 11 and 21, another circuit
between 13 and 21, and another circuit (or stop device)
between terminal 14 and 15.
You cannot check the motor’s direction of rotation
without these circuits (jumpers) or the accessories.
When properly prepared for testing, the LEDs DL3, DL4,
and DL5 should be illuminated.
WARNING! Running the operator—even for
testing purposes—without a connected
reversing device is potentially dangerous. Do
not place yourself within the path of the
moving gate during your test.
You also need to install a normally open activation
device across terminals 18 and 19.
Disengage the operator(s) with the Manual Release key,
and open the gate by hand about halfway.
Next, engage the operator(s) with the Manual Release
key so that you can check the rotation of the motor(s).
Turn on the main power and send an activating signal
to the operator(s). The gate leaf (or leaves) should
open. If a gate leaf closes, then you need to turn off the
main power and reverse the connection of the brown
and black (or red and black) wires on terminal block J2
for the operator controlling that leaf. Then you need to
recheck the rotation direction again.
If your gate system has two operators, be sure the
motor of each rotates in the correct direction.
After having completed your test of the motor’s
direction of rotation, replace any test circuits you
installed (between terminals 11 and 21, between 13 and
21, and between 14 and 15) with the proper reversing
and stop devices. The instructions for installing such
accessories follow.
CONNECT OTHER DEVICES
WARNING! Turn the main power off before you
make any electrical connections or set any
switches inside the control panel box.
Now you can connect additional reversing and activat-
ing devices to the control panel. Refer to Figure 11 for
