NOTES:
1. Overload setting (R72) is factory set. Do not adjust.
2. Current flow varies with temperature. Do not tune the sensitivity measurements too
finely, or they may change with the time of day or seasons.
♦ If your installation requires setting switch S1 the “Open to Right” position, use the “Open to
Right" adjustment procedures below. If your installation requires setting S1 to the “Open to
Left” position, use the “Open to Left" adjustments following the "Open to Right" procedures.
♦ The minimum sensitivity is full clockwise and maximum sensitivity is full counter clockwise.
These adjustments must be made while the gate is in motion.
♦ Before starting the adjustments, verify that the overload pot is set to 3:00 o'clock, the Left and
Right reverse pots are set fully clockwise, and the Inrush pot is set to the 11 o’clock position.
♦ Make all adjustments in the order listed.

2. Wait 4 to 5 seconds, then lightly "bump" the leading edge of the gate to simulate an obstacle.
3. If the gate does not stop or back up, reopen the gate and adjust the pot slightly
counterclockwise.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 until the gate stops or backs up when bumped and has the desired
sensitivity.
