8. Before connecting the Top Landing Gate cord, the VPL Platform must be set at the upper landing level.
Proceed with Steps 33 through 51 in Section 4 if not already complete. Connect the Top Landing Gate
cord to VPL by first removing rear cover. There will be a cord with a 4-pin connector inside the tower
located in the area where the power cord exits the tower. Bring this cord out of the tower and remove
the Top Landing Gate jumper plug from the connector. Connect the Top Landing Gate cord and tuck
the connected plug back inside the tower (
There will also be a cord with a 3-pin connector in this area for connecting the Call/Send Control.
Leave this cord inside the tower unless installing a Call/Send Control.
9. Reinstall the rear cover with the notch in the lower right corner (looking at the back of the VPL).
10. Secure the Top Landing Gate cord to the porch or deck in such a manner that it will not interfere with
the VPL or Top Landing Gate operation or pose a tripping hazard.
11. Run the VPL Platform down below the
landing by approximately 12”. Manually hold the Top Landing
Gate latch in the open position and depress the UP button on the control box simultaneously. The VPL
Platform should not operate and the Top Landing Gate indicator should be illuminated. Release the Top
Landing Gate latch. The Top Landing Gate indicator light should go off and upward travel should now
be possible.
12. Run the VPL several times through its entire travel limits. Make sure that the Top Landing Gate is
unlatched when the platform reaches the upper landing and stops. If the VPL Platform does not stop
level with the upper landing refer to the VPL Placement and Installation section and adjust the upper
limit accordingly. Also confirm the Top Landing Gate is latched when the platform travels in the
downward direction a maximum of 2” below the landing.
13. The T
op Landing Gate will come preassembled with approximately a 1/2” gap between the bottom of
the Top Landing Gate frame and the sill. If needed, the Top Landing Gate can be adjusted up or down
to accommodate field conditions.
a.
Loosen the two 5/16”-18 x 1/2” set screws in each hinge connector bar enough that the Top
Landing Gate will move but do not remove completely (
b. Move the Top Landing Gate up or down to the desired location and retighten set screws securely.
It may be necessary to manually unlatch the latch and rotate it out of the way to move the Top
Landing Gate.
c.
Loosen the two 5/16”-18 x 3/4” long button head socket clamp screws holding the latch mounting
clamp plate enough that the latch assembly will move but do not remove completely. It may be
necessary to manually rotate the latch out of the way to access the clamp screws.
d. Move the latch assembly up or down the same distance the Top Landing Gate was moved and
retighten the clamp screws securely. The ring magnet attached to the Top Landing Gate frame
should be just below the bottom of the latch mounting clamp plate after moving the latch
assembly.
e. Repeat Steps 10 and 11 to make sure the VPL Platform stops at the correct level and the latch
latches and unlatches in the specified travel distance. It may be necessary to fine tune the height
of the latch assembly to assure the magnets are activating the magnetic reed switches located on
the latch mounting clamp plate “inside” the latch post.
