Gate Operator
Most gate operators use a single dry contact to trigger the gate
to open. See “Drawing 17: Gate operator wiring” on page 20
for details on connecting a gate operator to the APEX.The APEX is
equipped with two form C relays for use with gate operators. Both
relays are connected to the removable terminal block at the lower
right corner of the board (P4), see “Drawing 17: Gate operator
wiring” on page 20.
Make sure the signal from the operator meets the electrical
specifications for the relays. DO NOT USE ANY HIGH VOLTAGE
SIGNALS.
Refer to the gate operator manual for the gauge of wire required.
The pin connections for the connector are as follows:
Pin 1
Relay 1 Normally Open
Pin 2
Relay 1 Common
Pin 3
Relay 1 Normally Closed
Pin 4
Relay 2 Normally Open
Pin 5
Relay 2 Common
Pin 6
Relay 2 Normally Closed
A gate operator can be connected to either relay depending
on how the APEX is setup and more than one operator can be
connected to a single APEX device. If two or more APEX devices
trigger a single gate, that gate only needs to be connected to one
device.
For improved site security, the gate operator should not be
connected to the APEX unit used for entry. This prevents access
to the facility by vandalizing the entry APEX unit.
