Topens KD702 - User Manual

This document is a user's manual for the TOPENS KD702 Dual Swing Gate Opener, providing comprehensive instructions for its installation, operation, and maintenance. The manual emphasizes safety precautions and offers detailed guidance to ensure proper setup and long-term functionality of the gate opener.

The primary function of the TOPENS KD702 is to automate the opening and closing of dual swing gates. It is designed for vehicular swing gates classified as Class I, meaning gates associated with dwellings, garages, or parking areas. The system allows for both "Pull-to-Open" and "Push-to-Open" installations, with specific instructions and components required for each type. The opener is equipped with features that enhance convenience and safety, making it suitable for residential and light commercial applications.

Key usage features of the KD702 gate opener include:

Soft Start and Soft Stop: This functionality ensures a smooth and gradual acceleration and deceleration of the gate, reducing wear and tear on the motor and gate hardware, and contributing to quieter operation.
Emergency Release Key: In the event of a power failure, an emergency release key is provided, allowing manual operation of the gate. This is a critical safety and convenience feature, ensuring access even without electricity.
Dual/Single Gate Running Mode: The opener supports both dual gate operation (two gate leaves moving simultaneously or with a set interval) and single gate operation, offering flexibility based on the gate configuration.
Adjustable Opening/Closing Interval: Users can set a specific time interval between the master and slave gates during opening and closing cycles. This allows for customized operation to prevent collision or accommodate specific access needs.
Obstruction Sensing: The system is designed to detect obstructions during gate movement. If an obstruction is encountered during opening, the gate will stop. If an obstruction is detected during closing, the gate will reverse direction, enhancing safety and preventing damage to the gate or objects.
Adjustable Auto-Close: The opener has a built-in adjustable auto-close function, allowing users to set a delay (from 0 to 99 seconds) after which the gate will automatically close. Setting the delay to "00" disables this feature.
Maximum Motor Running Time (MRT): This feature allows users to set a maximum running time for the motor, providing an additional layer of safety by preventing continuous operation beyond a specified period, even if limit switches fail.
Digital Display: A digital display on the control board indicates the current running situation and provides a menu for settings adjustments, simplifying configuration and troubleshooting.
Electromagnetism Limit: The system incorporates reliable electromagnetism limits for easy adjustment, which helps in precisely defining the gate's open and closed positions.
Accessory Compatibility: The KD702 can be equipped with a wide range of optional accessories, such as warning lights, photo eye beam sensors, wireless keypads, wired keypads, external receivers, and smartphone remote controls, to enhance functionality and security.
Easy Installation and Minimum Maintenance: The manual emphasizes that the opener is designed for straightforward installation and requires minimal maintenance, making it user-friendly.

The installation process involves several steps, starting with preparation, which includes determining the appropriate installation type (Pull-to-Open or Push-to-Open) and ensuring the gate does not open into public areas. Detailed instructions are provided for mounting the gate opener actuators to the gate and posts, including the use of Post Brackets and Gate Brackets. The manual includes tables and illustrations to help determine the proper mounting positions based on gate dimensions and desired opening angles. It also highlights the importance of ensuring a minimum clearance between the gate and the opener to prevent binding.

Mounting the control box is another crucial step, with recommendations to install it in a secure, well-ventilated, and protected location, at least 100 cm (40 inches) above the ground to avoid environmental damage. The manual provides clear guidance on connecting the power supply and the motor wires to the control board, specifying different wiring configurations for "Pull-to-Open" and "Push-to-Open" installations. It also details the connection of various optional accessories like warning lights, photocell beam systems, push buttons, external receivers, and wired keypads.

Programming the remote controls is a straightforward process, allowing users to program up to 8 remotes directly to the opener, or up to 250 remotes with an optional external receiver. The manual also explains how to erase all remote codes for security purposes. Instructions for programming wireless keypads are also provided, including how to set and change the password.

The control board settings offer extensive customization options:

Single/Dual Gate Setting: Users can configure the system for single or dual gate operation.
Master/Slave Gate Setting: For dual gates, one gate can be designated as the master and the other as the slave, influencing their operational sequence.
Open Interval Setting: The time delay between the opening of the master and slave gates can be adjusted.
Close Interval Setting: Similarly, the time delay between the closing of the master and slave gates can be set.
Obstruction Sensitivity/Stall Force Adjustment: This critical safety feature allows users to adjust the force level at which the gate opener will detect an obstruction and reverse or stop. The manual provides a warning about the importance of proper adjustment to prevent injury and ensure the safety reversal system functions correctly.
Max Motor Running Time (MRT) Adjustment: The maximum duration for which each motor can run can be set, acting as a failsafe.
Safety Photocell Beam System (PBS) Setting: The PBS function can be enabled or disabled. If enabled, the gate opener will not operate until the PBS system is equipped, and it will return to its open position if the beam is obstructed during closing.
Automatic Closing Time Setting: The auto-close delay can be configured from 1 to 99 seconds, or disabled.
Period of Soft Start Setting: The duration of the soft start phase can be adjusted.
Fast Running Period (FRP) to Achieve Soft Stop Function (SPP): This setting allows for adjustment of the fast running period, which indirectly controls the soft stop duration.

Maintenance features are outlined to ensure the longevity and safe operation of the gate opener:

Regular Cleaning and Lubrication: Users are advised to regularly wipe the gate opener shaft with a clean, dry cloth and apply silicone spray to reduce friction, especially in cold climates to prevent freeze-up.
Hinge Checks: Periodic checks of gate hinges are recommended to ensure smooth and free swinging, with lubrication as needed.
Hardware and Post Checks: The installation hardware and posts should be checked periodically for shifts, and brackets or hardware tightened as necessary.
Clearance Maintenance: The area around the gate should be kept free of objects that could obstruct the gate's movement.
Professional Inspection: It is suggested that inspections and service be performed by a qualified professional if any malfunction is observed or suspected.
Voltage Verification: Using a digital voltmeter, users should verify that the incoming voltage to the opener is within ten percent of its rating.
Gate Force and Sensitivity Adjustments: Instructions are provided on how to check and adjust the gate force and sensitivity settings.

Troubleshooting guidance is also included to address common issues such as the opener not running, powering up but not moving, or stopping immediately after starting. These sections provide practical steps to diagnose and resolve problems, including checking power connections, motor cables, gate hinges, and safety devices. The manual emphasizes the importance of ensuring correct wiring for "PULL TO OPEN" or "PUSH TO OPEN" installations if the gate opens, closes, or stops on its own. It also addresses issues related to the gate ignoring limit switches, advising checks on wiring and replacement of faulty switches.
