TIMER TO CLOSE SETTING
The Timer to Close is controlled by the setting of the “AUTO
CLOSE TIMER” potentiometer on the control board, see Figure 19.
When the pot is adjusted fully counter-clockwise the Timer-To-Close
is disabled. Turning the pot approximately 1/4 turn clockwise will
enable the Timer To Close function with a delay of approximately 2
seconds between the gate reaching the full open position and
automatically closing. To increase the time delay continue to turn
the pot in the clockwise direction to a maximum delay of 60 seconds
(one minute).
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THAT AUXILIARY
ENTRAPMENT PROTECTION DEVICES BE INSTALLED
WHENEVER THE TIMER TO CLOSE OPTION IS
ENABLED.
APPLYING POWER TO THE OPERATOR
PRE-POWER CHECK LIST
Before applying power to the RS4000 operator for the first time, go
through the following check list to ensure that all is in order before
the application of power.
1. Check that the RS4000 power switch is off.
2. Check that the breaker at the power panel
is on.
3. With a voltmeter on the proper scale,
check that the line voltage at the input to
the RS4000 is the voltage that is expected.
Connection of a 115 VAC RS4000 to an
unexpected 230 VAC line is a common
occurrence. This will cause readily
identifiable board failure that WILL NOT
BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY.
4. Manually move the gate to the center of
the gate opening.
5. Make sure the adjustable torque drive
(ATD) is properly set to just
overcome a
load of slight to moderate force applied to
the gate. Follow the procedures outlining
the ATD on Page 17, Section C, if
readjustment is necessary.
6. The proper Left-or Right-hand or Bi-
Parting wiring has been completed.
7. The Limit Switch brackets have been
preliminarily set.
8. No other auxiliary devices should be
connected to the terminal strip until the
powering-up procedures are completed.
RUNNING THE RS4000
Turn ON the main power switch. The gate should not move. If the
gate moves in either direction or continues to run, turn off the power
and call Factory Service for assistance. Follow the instructions
below for first time commands and the Basic Operation Guide on the
following page for ongoing operation.
1. Give the RS4000 a command to open by touching a jumper wire
connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON) to Terminal #6 (OPEN).
The gate should move to the fully open position.
2. If the TIMER TO CLOSE option has been enabled, the timer will
activate the gate to close within the set time parameter on the
potentiometer. If not give the RS4000 a command to open by
touching a jumper wire connected to Terminal #16 (COMMON)
to Terminal #7 (CLOSE).
3. Allow the gate to close and note the position of the gate.
If the gate stops short of the desired fully open or closed position
or if it bangs against the end stops, TURN OFF THE MAIN
POWER and reset the appropriate Limit Switch. After you have
attained the final adjustment, run the RS4000 open and closed
several times to ensure that the positions set will be retained.
