Accessory Wiring
The +12 vdc output is protected with a 1.5 amp auto-resetting fuse.
Solenoid Lock – This is a +12 vdc output that can output +12 volts two different ways.
1.
If DS2 switch 1 is turned “on” and DS1 switch 5 is “OFF,” the +12 vdc will come on a half second before
the gate begins to open after activation. Once the gate begins to move, the output will go to 0 volts in 4
seconds.
2.
The other option is to turn DS2 switch 1 and DS1 switch 5 on. With this setting the solenoid lock output
will be +12 vdc a half second before the gate begins to move and remain at +12 vdc until 3 seconds after
the gate has stopped on a limit. For example, this can be used to turn on a gate in motion siren or light.
Magnetic Lock – This is a +12 vdc output.
Whenever the gate reaches the closed limit the +12 vdc will be present and remain until the gate is
activated to open. The +12 vdc output will be turned “off” one half second before the gate begins to open.
