INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
3. Mount the strike weldment and gate status switch target to the Unistrut channel
using the ¼”-20 UNC Unistrut nuts and the ¼”-20 UNC screws that have been
supplied as shown.
4. With the gate panel in the fully closed position, adjust the strike so that the solenoid
“bolt” is centered in the strike hole.
NOTE: The solenoid interlock “bolt” has a ½” throw. Adjustment is critical.
5. Using the two ¼”-20 screws that have been supplied, mount the gate status switch
mounting bracket to the status switch mounting plate on the gate post as shown.
6. All solenoid interlocks must be fail-secure. This means that in the event of a power
failure, the gate must remain locked until the power is restored and lift platform is at
the same level as the gate.
7. With the gate panel in the fully closed position, adjust the strike weldment, the
proximity switch, and proximity switch target so that the switch contacts are closed
when the interlock bolt engages the one-inch hole in the strike weldment. Adjust
status switch target so that interlock engages only within desired range of 1” hole in
strike weldment.
NOTE: Adjustments allow both the switch and target to be moved. A one inch
horizontal distance must be maintained between the faces of the proximity switch
and target to ensure proper functionality.
