IMPORTANT SAFETY REQUIREMENTS &  INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING - To reduce the risk of injury or death:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS.
2.

Never let children operate or play with gate
controls.  Keep the remote control away from
children.

3.

Always keep people and objects away from
the gate. NO ONE SHOULD CROSS THE
PATH OF THE MOVING GATE.

4.

Test the Vehicular Gate Operator monthly. The
gate MUST reverse on contact with a rigid
object or  stop when an object activates the
non-contact sensors. After adjusting the limit
of travel, retest the Vehicular Gate Operator.
Failure to adjust and retest the Vehicular Gate

Operator properly can increase the risk of
injury or death.

5.

Use the Emergency Release only when power
switch or circuit breaker has been turned off.
Using the Emergency Release during a power
failure can be a hazard if power is abruptly
restored.

6.

KEEP GATES PROPERLY MAINTAINED.
Read the Owner's Manual. Have a qualified
service person make repairs to gate hardware.

7.

The entrance is for vehicles only.  Pedestrians
must use separate entrance.

8.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

NOTE:  Always consult and follow all local building and electrical codes prior to installation.

Ramset Gate Operators should not be installed without non-contact sensing devices such as non-con-
tact sensors, photo electric sensors or the equivalent.

n

WARNING

A non-contact sensor (photoelectric sensor or equivalent) and a contact sensor (edge

device or equivalent) is required on each individual installation to comply with UL325.

Reversing Sensors (Loop Detectors)

Reversing Sensors should be used to prevent gate from closing when a vehicle is in the gate area.

Installation should be done by a qualified installer only.

Prior to Installation, the following must be
observed: (per UL 325 51.8.4)

a)

Install the vehicular gate operator only when:

1) The Vehicular Gate Operator is appropri-

ate for the construction of the gate and
the usage Class of the gate,

2) All openings of a horizontal slide gate are

guarded or screened from the bottom of
the gate to a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m)
above the ground to prevent a 2-1/4 inch
(57.15 mm) diameter sphere from pass-
ing through the openings anywhere in the
gate, and in that portion of the adjacent
fence that the gate covers in the open
position.

3) All exposed pinch points are eliminated or

guarded, and

4) Guarding is supplied for exposed rollers.

b)

The Vehicular Gate Operator is intended for
installation only on gates used for vehicles.
Pedestrians must be supplied with a separate
access opening.

c)

The gate must be installed in a location so
that enough clearance is supplied between
the gate and adjacent structures when open-
ing and closing to reduce the risk of entrap-
ment. Swinging gates shall not open into
public access areas.

d)

The gate must be properly installed and work
freely in both directions prior to the installa-
tion of the Vehicular Gate Operator. Do not
over-tighten the operator clutch to compen-
sate for a damaged gate.

e)

Controls must be far enough from the gate so
that the user is prevented from coming in
contact with the gate while operating the con-
trols. Controls intended to be used to reset a
Vehicular Gate Operator after 2 sequential
activations of the entrapment protection
device or devices must be located in the line-
of-sight of the gate. Outdoor or easily acces-
sible controls shall have a security feature to
prevent unauthorized use.

f)

All warning signs and placards must be
installed where visible in the area of the gate.

g)

For Vehicular Gate Operators utilizing a non-
contact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1
Type B1 non-contact sensor (photo electric
sensor or the equivalent)

1) See instructions on the placement of

non-contact sensors for each Type of
application,

2) Care shall be exercised to reduce the risk

of nuisance tripping, such as when a
vehicle, trips the sensor while the gate is
still moving, and

3) One or more non-contact sensors shall

be located where the risk of entrapment
or obstruction exists, such as the perime-
ter reachable by a moving gate or barrier.

h)

For a Vehicular Gate Operator utilizing a con-
tact sensor in accordance with 30A.1.1

1) One or more contact sensors shall be

located at the leading edge, trailing edge,
and postmounted both inside and outside
of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

2) One or more contact sensors shall be

located at the bottom edge of a vehicular
vertical lift gate.

3) One or more contact sensors shall be

located at the pinch point of a vehicular
vertical pivot gate.

4) A hardwired contact sensor shall be

located and its wiring arranged so that
the communication between the sensor
and the vehicular gate operator is not
subjected to mechanical damage.

5) A wireless contact sensor such as one

that transmits radio frequency (RF) sig-
nals to the vehicular gate operator for
entrapment protection functions shall be
located where the transmission of the
signals are not obstructed or impeded by
building structures, natural landscaping
or similar obstruction. A wireless contact
sensor shall function under the intended
end-use conditions.

reopens the gate.  If the gate is closed, the gate will remain
closed. The function can be altered with dip switch B4 (see
“dip switch features”).  Used with loop detectors, photo eyes,
safety edges…etc.  Becomes active with a closed contact to
common.

OUTPUTS

Mag 

(

)

Supplies 24VDC to a magnetic lock when gate is closed.  If
gate is not closed then no power is supplied.  Leave open if
not used.

Motor 1 & Motor 2

– Supplies power to the motor. Direction

depends on dip switch B7 (see “dip switch features”).  These
wires are preset and connected in the factory and should not
be moved.

24V Rect.

– Provides a rectified 24VDC for peripheral

accessories.

Solenoid

– Sends 110 VAC to a solenoid or other mechani-

cal lock.  Leave open if not used.

OTHER CONNECTIONS

Contact Closure Relay Outputs

Three separate isolated form-C relay outputs are provided.
Each relays contact is rated at 125VAC, 2 amps.

1.

Alarm – When ERD is triggered twice, before reaching a
fully closed or fully opened position, 24VDC is supplied
for 6 minutes and the control board will not accept any
commands.  After the 6 minutes the 24VDC is removed
and the board resets to normal operation.

2.

Triggers relay when gate is fully opened.  Used with indi-
cator lights, buzzers, beepers, misc. voltage magnetic
locks…etc.

3.

Triggers relay when gate is fully closed. Used with indi-
cator lights, buzzers, beepers, misc. voltage magnetic
locks…etc.

Note

: if both B5 &

B6 are 'on', there
will be NO lag on
