If the gate should strike an obstruction in the opening direction the gate will stop and remain stopped until commanded to return to operation See page 17 O MASTER AND SLAVE Some very large entrances may require the use of two gates If this is the case the two gates can be easily automated using the master and slave configuration This configuration uses two gates and two operators in ONE driveway The operators used are two regular AGS 105 or 106 operators There is power run to each operator and additionally there are six low voltage wires that are run from one operator to the other which cause them to operate simultaneously All controls such as radio transmitters are connected to only one operator the master O SHADOW INPUT The AGS 105 and AGS 106 swing gate operators have a special shadow input feature which will give additional safety to the swing gate operator system Reverse loops are generally placed on both sides of a gate and as close as possible to the gate to insure that the gate will never close while there is a vehicle present Because of the nature of a swinging gate reverse loops have to be placed relatively far apart in order to prevent the gate from activating the loops The shadow input was designed to compensate for this limitation This input will allow another loop to be placed directly in the path of the gate in addition to the standard reverse loops This input will only function while the gate is in the open posit

DOW INPUT Any device that is used to hold open the gate only when the gate is in the open position is a shadow input device The shadow input device must provide normally open contacts These contacts are connected to plug 2 on terminals 7 and 8 This function is very useful for swinging gate operators with loop detectors installed when it is necessary to put a vehicle loop in a location where the gate will swing over it This input will allow the gate to pass over the loop without the loop detector reversing the gate operator O PULSE OPEN INPUT The pulse open input terminals were put on the circuit board as an alternative connection for the radio receiver This input functions similarly to the standard open input with the exception that it will not hold the gate open if the input remains present This feature will add additional security to the gate operator system in the event that there is a transmitter that is stuck on TIMER SWITCH MTOR Lo LIGHTS SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENTS 7 Fine Tuning f auto close timer is used move the AUTO CLOSE TIMER switch to the ON position To set the auto close time to a desired length between 0 45 seconds turn the timer adjust ment pot clockwise to increase the amount of time and counter clockwise to decrease e The LEFT RIGHT SIDE OP ERATION switch must be set in the right or left position depending on which side of the driveway the gate operator is located The righ

16. UAL RELEASE The AGS 105 amp 106 as a standard feature have the ability to be opened manually in the case of a power failure When there is a power failure the gate can be easily opened by loosening the primary arm on the drive shaft with a single wrench Once this has been done the primary arm will rotate freely on the drive shaft and will allow the gate to be pushed open If the gate needs to be released from the outside there is an optional manual release arm superARM available which can be adapted to both the AGS 105 amp 106 to allow this added release capability See Options on page 21 O CIRCUIT BOARD The AGS 105 amp 106 gate operators are all equipped with Full Systems Capability circuit boards as a standard feature This circuit board operates on 24 Volts AC and delivers power directly to the motor without the use of external switching The limit switch input terminals require the use of normally open type limit switches These switches are used to accurately stop the gate operator in the open and closed positions To safeguard the operator from damage that could result from limit switch or sensitivity failure the Full Systems Capability circuit board has a built in maximum run timer which will allow the operator to run for approximately 40 seconds and then shut off automatically The Full Systems Capability circuit board has an adjustable sensitivity feature which senses excess motor current if the gate or gate operator is obstruct
