Auto Close Timer
The operator comes factory preset with the auto close timer function OFF. The auto close timer will close the gate
automatically after a specific amount of time has elapsed. The amount of time can be easily adjusted between 0 and 45
seconds by turning a small "pot" located on the edge of the circuit board (See page 17). The timer can be disabled or
activated by flipping a single switch located on the top edge of the circuit board. If the timer will be used it is recommended
that some type of supplementary safety device (loops, photo beam etc.) be installed.
Gate Sensitivity Adjustment
The amount of force necessary to stop the gate can be adjusted to conform to the various sizes and weights of any
particular gate. The full systems capability circuit board provides separate adjustments for both the opening and closing
direction. When adjusting the sensitivity, the operator can be given only as much energy as is necessary to overcome the
resistance of the gate. If the gate should strike an obstruction either direction, the gate will reverse. If the gate should again
strike an obstruction before reaching a limit, the gate will stop and remain stopped. (See page 17)
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.
Although models equipped with standard capability can be connected as master and slave, they may not always give
satisfactory performance and may not work simultaneously. Full systems capability models have terminals provided
especially for master and slave applications and will reliably operate simultaneously all of the time.
Pulse Open Input
The Pulse Open input feature is an open input on the circuit board which will increase the security of the AGS 104
gate operator system. When an open input device such as a radio receiver is connected to the Pulse Open input, and the
radio transmitter is pressed, the gate operator will activate but will then ignore the input if the input is prolonged. What is
significant about this feature is that there is the possibility of a transmitter button being stuck and if the radio receiver is
connected to the standard open input the gate will be held open. If the radio receiver is connected to the Pulse Open input on
terminals 6 and 7, the circuit board will ignore the stuck input and will allow the gate to close. The pulse open input is
designed for but not limited to a radio receiver. For added security any open input device may be used with Pulse Open
including push buttons, key switches, numerical key pads etc.
Peripherals
POWER SUPPLY: There is 12 Volts DC .1 AMP available on the circuit board which is used to supply power to a radio
receiver or other device.
OPEN INPUT: Normally open devices are connected to terminals 5 and 6 on the circuit board to cause the gate to open
and/or close in PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE (Timer switch OFF) mode of operation. Normally open devices are connected to
terminals 5 and 6 to cause the gate to open in AUTO CLOSE TIMER (Timer switch ON) mode of operation. In this mode of operation
the AUTO CLOSE TIMER will automatically close the gate after a specific amount of time has elapsed. The Auto Close Timer is
adjustable between 0-45 seconds. These normally open devices can be push buttons, radio receivers, key switches, loop detectors,
photo electric beams, 24 hour timers, etc. See FEATURES on the next page for other open input capabilities.
PULSE OPEN INPUT: Normally open devices are connected to terminals 6 and 7 on the circuit board to cause the gate to
open. Pulse Open Input functions identical to Open Input with the exception that it will not hold open the gate. If a transmitter or other
open device is stuck on, the gate will still close. This feature is sometimes used to provide a higher level of security but should be
used only in addition to another open device connected to Open Input so the gate can still be opened if necessary.
SAFETY INPUT: Normally open devices are connected to terminals 4 and 6 on the AGS 104 circuit board to cause the
gate operator to open and/or hold the gate open in any position except the fully closed position. Normally open safety input devices
that can be used are push buttons, radio receivers, key switches, loop detectors, photo electric beams, 24 hour timers, etc.
N.C. STOP INPUT: Normally closed devices are connected to terminals 8 and 9 on the circuit board after removing the
stop jumper that is on terminals 8 and 9. The N.C. Stop Input will cause the gate to stop at any position and will remain stopped until
activated to open or close.
N.O. STOP INPUT: Normally open devices are connected to terminals 9 and 11 to cause the gate to stop in any position
until the gate is again activated to open or close. N.O. Stop Input functions identical to N.C. Stop input with the exception that it
requires normally open contacts instead of normally closed contacts.
CLOSE INPUT: Normally open devices are connected to terminals 9 and 10 on the circuit board to cause the gate
operator to close the gate when in any position. Normally open input devices that can be used are push buttons, radio receivers, key
switches, loop detectors, photo electric beams, 24 hour timers, etc.
