IMPORTANT NOTICE FOR GATE OPERATORS
MANUFACTURED AFTER JANUARY 11TH, 2016
All gate operators manufactured after January 11th, 2016 must have a
monitored input for each direction. In order to satisfy this requirement
all Powermaster Swing & Slide Gate Operators will have one monitored
input for each direction: The close obstruction (C-OBS) terminal for the
close direction and the open obstruction (O-OBS) terminal for the open
direction. These terminals will look for, or “monitor” the presence of a
10k in-line resistor. If either terminal does not detect the presence of
the monitored device the unit will function in constant contact for this
direction.
E.g. The operator detects there is a monitored device on the C-OBS
terminal but not the O-OBS terminal. The operator will function in
momentary contact to close and constant pressure to open.
The UL 2016 devices for these units are as follows:
Any actions taken to circumvent this monitoring are in violation of the
UL325, building code, and local laws.
