Never connect a button station within reach of the gate or on the side of the gate operator. Do not adjust the circuit board current sensing feature too high. It should be adjusted high enough to keep the gate from falsely triggering the sensing, but no higher than necessary for the gate to operate. Do not defeat the purpose of this function! - 10 - 3-05-14 HSLG OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE CURRENT SENSING ADJUSTMENTS Because gates vary in construction and may have different force requirements in the open and close directions to move, the OSCO control board has separate Multi-turn potentiometers for adjusting in both directions independently. The adjustment should be set light enough to maintain minimal force (50-75 lbs. ) should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption. Prior to adjusting the operator current sensing functions, make sure the gate moves freely in both directions. A badly aligned or poorly maintained gate may cause false triggering of the current sensor. Refer to page 9 when following the instructions below. A factory adjustment tool has been supplied to make these adjustments easier. This tool has been taped to the control box for your convenience. CLOSE DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT When the gate operator leaves the factory, it has been preset for a relatively light gate function and will require additional adjustment. Begin by starting the gate going closed. If the operator stops and reverses, turn the close direction potentiometer (see page 9) one turn higher, press the STOP button, and try again. Repeat this process until the gate no longer causes false tripping of the current sensor. Note that each time the gate operator reverses, the STOP button must be pressed. Next, turn the close direction potentiometer lower slowly while the operator is running the gate closed until the gate operator stops and reverses again. From this point, turn the close direction potentiometer higher by 1 1/2 turns for all 115 Volt AC and 24 Volt DC operators, and by 3/4 of a turn higher for all 230 Volt AC operators. Additional fine adjustment by 1/4 turns may be necessary to eliminate false triggering. OPEN DIRECTION CURRENT SENSE ADJUSTMENT Repeat the same process with the open direction potentiometer while running the gate in the open direction. Once this is done, run the gate through several complete cycles and make sure the gate does not false trip in either direction. Multi-turn Potentiometer Remember it is important not to set the adjustment too high!Doing so will defeat the purpose of the current sensing as an obstruction detecting feature. MAXIMUM RUN TIMER ADJUSTMENT This adjustable potentiometer sets the maximum length of time the motor will run before shutting down. [. . . ] The gate should move easily without binding through its entire travel. If the gate does bind, adjust or fix as required. Failure to keep the gate in good working condition will have adverse effects on the operator. - 29 - 4-02-5 HSLG OPERATOR INSTALLATION GUIDE GATE OPERATOR INSTALLATION CHECKLIST INSTALLER CUSTOMER ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ ________ 1.
