Operator Setup (Continued)
Limit Switch Adjustment
The open and close limit switches are adjustable by sliding
them on the operator’s frame. Sliding either switch closer to
the center of the operator decreases the gate travel.
1. To limit the opening travel of the gate for setup, loosen the locking
screw on the open limit switch, slide the switch towards the center of
the operator (see Figure 11).
2. With the gate closed, apply power to the Controller, STAY CLEAR
OF THE GATE and press the OPEN button.
3. Observe the gate as it opens, and watch the point where it stops.
4. To limit the closing travel of the gate for setup, loosen the locking
screw on the close limit switch, remove the wire holding plugs from
the wire slot in the channel, slide the switch towards the center of the
operator (see Figure 12).
5. Be sure to STAY CLEAR OF THE GATE and press the CLOSE
button.
6. Observe the gate as it closes, and watch the point where it stops.
7. Adjust the two limit switches until the open and close stopping points
are set correctly for the gate. TIGHTEN THE LOCKING SCREWS
ON THE LIMIT SWITCHES.
8. Push any extra limit wire back into the motor housing. Replace the
limit switch wire holding plugs to retain the limit switch wire.
