LIMIT SWITCH ADJUSTMENT

NOTE: For limit location and configuration refer to Figure 1.

1. Before turning on power, disconnect extension arm from

gate bracket so gate is no longer connected to operator.
Push manual release pin(s) up through the control arm, slide
clevis pin in place and secure with a cotter pin.

2. The (3) collars are held to shaft by set screws. The collars

should now be loose on the shaft. If not, loosen all set
screws until collars are moving freely on shaft.

TO ADJUST CLOSE LIMIT SWITCH

3. Turn on electrical power.

4. Press CLOSE button (if installed) or connect terminals

4 & 5 on J1 terminal strip to cause the gate to close. The
control arm should move in the close direction.

5. When control arm is pointed in approximate direction of gate

bracket (on fully closed gate) press STOP button or release
terminals to stop control arm.

NOTE: If control arm does not move far enough to point in proper
direction, the close limit switch has been prematurely actuated.
Turn off power, loosen set screw on close limit cam and rotate
nut away from close limit switch. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until
control arm is pointed in correct direction.

6. Turn off power. Be sure close limit cam is freely turning.

Rotate cam in close direction. Stop when cam just clicks
close limit switch. Tighten set screw.

7. Reconnect gate bracket to extension arm. If arm has moved

too far in close direction to allow connection of gate bracket
turn off power, connect terminals 5 & 7 to rotate arm in
opposite direction, and press STOP button when arm is in
desired position.

TO ADJUST OPEN LIMIT SWITCH

8. Turn on power. Press OPEN button (if installed) or connect

terminals 5 & 7 on J1 terminal strip. Gate should open. If
gate does not open the open limit cam may be already
actuating open limit switch or an improper electrical
connection may have been made. Turn off power, inspect,
correct and repeat this step.

9. When gate reaches desired fully open position press STOP

button or release terminals. Turn off power. Limit cam
should turn freely. Rotate cam in open direction. Stop when
cam just clicks the open limit switch. Tighten set screw.

10. Fine tune both switch settings by using J1 terminals 4 & 5

(to CLOSE) of 5 & 7 (to OPEN) and the factory supplied
STOP button to move gate and rotating limit collars slightly
to alter gate travel. Rotate cam away from limit switch to
increase travel, toward switch to decrease travel.
