Failure to comply with the following Safety Rules may result in
Serious Personal injury and/or Property Damage.
Contents
Contents
DO NOT operate the Gate Opener unless the Gates are in full view and free from objects such as cars and children/
people. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or property damage can result from failure to follow this warning.
DO NOT operate the Gate Opener when children/persons are near the Gate(s). Children must be supervised near the Gate
(s) at all time and when the Gate Opener is in use. SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or property damage can result
from failure to follow this warning.
Make sure the CLOSING OBSTRUCTION FORCE is adjusted correctly on installation so that the gate(s) reverse to the
open position when obstruct with MINIMUM PRESSURE. OPEN OBSTRUCTION FORCE should also be ad-
justed correctly so that the gate(s) stop on opening when obstructed with MINIMUM PRESSURE. This test must be Re-
peated regular interval and the necessary adjustments made if required.
DO NOT disengage the Gate Opener to manual operation with children /personals or any other objects including motor
vehicles within the gateway.
If using a key switch or keypad or any device that operate the Gate Opener, make sure it is out of reach of children and
that the Gate(s) are in full view AT ALL TIMES.
The Gate(s) must be WELL BALANCED. Sticking or binding Gate(s) must be repaired by an experienced service gate
installer prior to Opener installation. DO NOT attempt to repair the Gate(s) yourself as the hardware is under extreme
weight and tension and could cause SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY and/or property damage.
Connect the Opener to properly EARTHED weatherproof general purpose 240V outlet installed by a qualified Electrician.
DISCONNECT the power cord from the MAINS before making any repairs (eg welding) or removing the covers! Only
experienced service personal can remove the cover of the control system.
Keep hand and any loose clothing well CLEAR of the Gate(s) and Gate opener at all times.
When using the Auto close mode a PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM must be correctly fitted and correctly tested for opera-
tion at regular intervals. EXTREME CAUTION is recommended when using the Auto close mode. All the safety rules
must be followed.
In order for the Gate Opener to sense an object obstructing the gate, some FORCE must be exerted on the object . As a
result the object MAY SUFFER some DAMAGE, the extent of which is dependant on the force/sensitivity adjustments
set.
For ADDITIONAL SAFETY we strongly recommended the use of PHOTO ELECTRIC BEAM to provide additional
safety PROTECTION.

The ATA Elite Swing Gate Opener consists of one electronic control box, two hand held transmitters and gate
operator drive unit (one drive unit for single gate installation and two drive units for dual gate installations),
with the accessories listed below.
CONTROL BOX
The control box contains the Control Board, (capable of driving 1 or 2 swing gates), a remote control receiver
and transformer. When used with suitable glands, it is designed to meet the IP56 weather proof rating.
DRIVE UNIT
The Drive Unit consists of ATA’s own powerful 24VDC motor, a rugged gear box and a cam activated limit
switch assembly. Each Drive Unit is supplied with a pair of arms, arm bracket plus arm assembly hardware.
FIG. 1

GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
• Control board constructed using state of art assembly
techniques such as SMT and industrial quality materials
and components.
• Each control board is visually and electronically tested
after production.
• Controlled by a powerful custom programmed micro-
controller.
• All control and limit switch inputs accept dry switch
contacts and have a high noise immunity.
• The limit switch inputs are electrically interlocked to the
motor drive relays. This means that in the unlikely event
of the micro-controller malfunctioning, the motors will
be prevented from being driven beyond the positions set
by the limit switches (if used).
• A motor drive timer prevents the motors being driven
indefinitely, should a limit switch fail.
• Mains transient protection provided on board.
Terminal block and mode selection labeling is clear
and informative.
• A small size of 130mm x 140mm x 45mm.
• Control inputs for open, close, stop, open/close/stop
(swipe), pedestrian access and photoelectric safety beams
are provided.
• Remote controlled pedestrian access is a standard fea-
ture, with the new two channel code hopping receiver
and a standard four button transmitter.
• The Pedestrian access input is provided to partially open
one gate leaf for pedestrian access by a wired switch or
remote control transmitter or keypad transmitters. The
distance the gate is opened is adjustable.
• The photoelectric safety beam input can be programmed
to either stop or reverse the motors if tripped while being
driven closed.
• The photoelectric safety beam input can be programmed
to prevent the motors being driven in the open or close
directions.
• The controller can be programmed to automatically close
the gate after it has been opened, partly opened for pedes-
trian access or after the photoelectric safety input has
been triggered and then released. The time the gate stays
open is adjustable and independent for each of the three
auto-close types.
• On board status L.E.Ds show status of the gate/door and
backup battery charger.
• A light control output can be selected to turn on courtesy
lighting each time the gates are operated. The lights are
then automatically turned off after a pre-set time.
• The light control output can control a warning or cour-
tesy light which is illuminated while the gates are in mo-
tion and remain on for 1 minute. The time is adjustable via
the technicians hand held programmer.
• A lock control output is provided which can be used to de-
activate a locking mechanism at the start of each cycle.
An adjustable pulse or hold action can be selected to
release the lock.
• The time from when the lock is activated to when the
motors are started can also be adjusted.
• When over lapping gate leaves are used, a delay can be
introduced so that the overlapping leaf reaches/leaves the
closed position before the other leaf.
• An integrated back-up battery charger is included on the
control board.
• Automatic setting of motor overload levels.
• Motor speed is adjustable via a 10 position dial.
• Mechanical wear and tear reduced by slowing motor as the
end of a drive cycles is approached. (Soft Stop)
• The ATA designed receiver and transmitter are the only
high security remote control gate system on the market
which includes ATA’s unique remote coding feature and
has over 4.29 billion codes which hop on every press of
the button.
The CB-9 control board is designed to automate one or two 24V DC swing or sliding gate drive units with or without limit switches.
The CB-9 3.03 supersedes earlier CB-9 versions. A list of some of the features of the control board follows.
The ATA Control board is packed with many new and exciting features using the latest technology in electronics, board design, and
surface mounting components.

INSTALLATION OF MECHANICAL DRIVE UNIT
The ATA ELITE SWING GATE OPENER is designed to operate most domestic swing gates. The gates
must be in good working condition and should operate by hand relatively freely. Wind loading may affect the
operation of the opener in high wind areas, correct obstruction and reversing settings should be chosen for
trouble free operations.
INITIAL CHECKING
STEP 1
Before commencing installation of the Elite Swing Gate
Opener, check the following:
1.The gate will move freely by hand for it’s full opening and
closing travel.
2.The pier or post for mounting must be of solid construction
(Brick, solid timber or steel). It must anchor most of the
force applied by the drive unit.
3.A weatherproof 240V 10A general purpose Power Point
should be available on or near the pier/post.
4.If dual gate operators are required, provision for underground
cabling should be made from one post to the other.
5.Side Room Clearance. Using table 1 and referring to Fig. 2
check that there is enough room available to mount the Drive
Unit. If there is not, the Minimum Side Room Kit (Page 8) will
need to be purchased by your distributor from ATA.
6.The mount distance of the Drive Unit should be recorded. This
value will be used later.
The mount Distance of the Drive Unit and the
Hinge Distance of the gates can be selected to opti-
mise the side room clearance.
NOTE: If the gates are already installed then
measure the Hinge Distance and use this to optimise
the Mount Distance.

FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE SET UP PRO-
CEDURE MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
ALL REFERENCES TO NUMBERS (eg [ 35 ]) RE-
FERS TO FIG 11 ON PAGE 13 .
In order for the control board to slow the motors down at
the correct position and to automatically detect motor
overloads, it needs to record the normal cycle time of each
motor in each direction and also sample each motors
normal running time. This is automatically preformed, by
following the steps below. If the gate(s) is stopped for
some reason during step 2 below, then simply restart from
step 1 below. While the open and close cycles are under-
way in step 2 below, the control board will not slow the
motors and the overload detection is partly disabled during
this procedure.
INITIALISATION
1. Close the gate(s) if it is not already closed, by holding
down the OSC button [35]. Once the gate(s) is in the
fully closed position release the OSC button.
IMPORTANT The Red LED[27] should be steady ON.
2. Press the Reset button [29] on the control board for
about two seconds then release. The gate(s) should start
opening. As soon as the gate(s) reaches the fully open
position it will pause and start to close. When the gate
(s) reaches the fully closed position the initialisation is
complete. The controller is now ready for normal use.
NOTE The OSC button is the only input which will func-
tion prior to the controller being initialised using the above
procedure .
SETTING OVERLOAD SENSITIVITY
1.The overload sensitivity is adjustable using the OVERLOAD
dial [25], with dial position 0 making it easy to overload a motor,
increasing through positions 1 to 8, with position 9 being the
hardest to overload a motor.
2.Simply turn the dial to the desired number to manually increase/
decrease the overload sensitivity.
NOTE The gate will exert some force before obstruction sensing
activates. Too light a setting will cause nuisance stopping when
gate starts to age or resistance occurs in gate track rollers or
hinges. Too heavy a setting may cause serious personal injury
and/or property damage.
WARNING: ALL FORCE ADJUSTMENT MUST BE SET
CORRECTLY AND TESTED BEFORE LEAVING THE
INSTALLATION AND MUST BE CHECKED PERIODI-
CALLY. THE OPENER MUST NOT BE LEFT IN AN
OPERABLE SITUATION IF THE FORCES ARE NOT SET
CORRECTLY OR ARE INOPERATIVE.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
WHENEVER THE LIMIT CAMS ARE
ADJUSTED THE SAFETY OBSTRUCTION
FORCE MUST BE RE-INITIALISED, BECAUSE
THE TRAVEL DISTANCE MAY HAVE
CHANGED AND THE SAFETY SETTINGS
WILL BE WRONG. TO RE-INITIALISE
PLEASE FOLLOW STEPS 7.1 AND 7.2 ABOVE.
STEP 8
MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
When a motor is started it is turned on at the speed selected using
the SPEED dial [24] with 0 being the slowest and 9 being the fast-
est. The motor will be driven at this speed until it nears the end of
the travel, at which time it will be slowed down. The motor slows
down to the speed represented by '3' on the speed dial.
In order for the controller to determine when to slow the motors
down towards the end of its cycle, a complete open and a complete
close cycle must be performed and the travel times of each motor
in each direction established (i.e. STEP 7 above).
To adjust the slow motor speed refer to page 15.

3. PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AUTO-CLOSE.
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection dip-switch
labelled “PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS” into the “ON” position.
When selected, the gate leaf will auto-close 15 seconds after be-
ing opened for pedestrian access.
Auto-closes after being:
•Driven to the programmed pedestrian access position. (Except
when the gate leaf is reversed after a motor overload is de-
tected.) Reversing during pedestrian access is only implemented
when special PED modes are selected.
•Stopped by the P.E. input when closing after pedestrian access
(standard PED mode only).
Countdown suspended by:
•The P.E. input being active.
•The PED input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
•Activating the STP input while the gate leaf is in the pro-
grammed pedestrian access position.
•Activating the STP input in condition 2 of 'Auto-closes after
being above.
•A motor overload causing the gate to reverse back to the pro-
grammed pedestrian access position. (Reversing during pedes-
trian access is only implemented when special PED modes are
selected.)
Function re-enabled by:
Activating the PED input, in SWIPE mode, while the gate is in
the programmed pedestrian access position. Activating the PED
input and causing the gate leaf to start to close.
The standard delay time of 15 seconds can be altered, see section
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME on
page 15.
CONTROLLERS MODE SELECTION SWITCHES
4. P.E TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection dip-switch
labeled “P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO CLS” into the “ON” posi-
tion. When this auto-close mode is selected, the gate will auto-
close after the P.E. input has been activated and released since:
1. The gate was last closed
2. The P.E. triggered auto-close function was re-enabled after
being disabled.
3. The SWIPE input was activated.
Auto-closes after the P.E. input has been activated
and then released and the gate:
•Is fully opened. (except when the gate is reversed to the open
position after a motor overload is detected while closing)
•The gate has been stopped by the P.E. input.
Countdown suspended by:
•The P.E. input being active.
•The OPN input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
•Activating the STP input.
•A motor overload causing the gate to stop or reverse open.
Function re-enabled by:
•Activating the OPN input while the gate is open.
•Activating the SWIPE input.
•By activating any input which cases the gate to start to open or
close. The auto-close function will then be enabled once the gate
is re-opened or the P.E. input causes the gate to stop.
This section describes the operating modes which can be se-
lected by the user using the control board's mode selection
switches [23] Fig 11.
SYNCHRONISED OVERLAPPING
GATE LEAFES.
1. When dual swing gates are used it is common for a back stop
to be mounted on one of the gate leaves so that the gate leaves
are aligned when closed. To prevent the gate leaves from inter-
fering with each other, the gate leaf with the back stop must
reach the close position first when closing and open last. The
controller can be made to do this by placing the mode selection
dip-switch labeled “SYNCHRONISING DELAY” into the
“ON” position. This will result in the gate leaf driven by motor
1 start to open 2 seconds before the gate leaf driven by motor 2
and the gate leaf driven by motor 2 start to close 2 seconds be-
fore that of motor 1. Note, if a lock is to be mounted on a gate
leaf, it should be mounted on the leaf driven by motor 1. If the
delay of 2 seconds is not suitable it can be altered, see sections
SYNCHRONISING DELAY TIME. on page 15.
AUTO-CLOSE MODES
The auto-close modes automatically close the gate after it has
been operated. To implement this, the controller starts a timer
once the gate has reached its desired open position. The timer
then counts down and when it expires the controller starts to
close the gate. The timer’s count down can be suspended by ac-
tivating a suspending input (which inputs 'suspend' depends on
which auto-close mode is selected). When the input is deacti-
vated the auto-close timer is reloaded and the count down re-
commenced. The auto-close functions are temporarily disabled
by certain actions. When this happens the controller will not
auto-close the gate again until the user performs some action to
re-enable the function. Details about the three auto-close modes
follow.
2. STANDARD AUTO-CLOSE
This mode is selected by placing the mode selection switch la-
beled “STANDARD AUTO-CLS” into the “ON” position.
When selected the gate will auto-close 30 seconds after being
fully opened. The following gives details about this auto-close
mode.
Auto-closes after being:
•Fully opened. (except when the gate is reversed to the open
position after a motor overload is detected while closing)
Countdown suspended by:
•The P.E. input being active.
•The OPN input being active.
Function temporarily disabled by:
•Activating the STP input while the gate is open.
•A motor overload causing the gate to reverse open.
Function re-enabled by:
•Activating the OPN input while the gate is open.
•Activating the OSC input, in SWIPE mode, while the gate is
open.
•. By activating any input which cases the gate leaf to start to
close. The auto-close function will then be enabled once the
gate is re-opened.
The standard delay time of 30 seconds can be altered, see
STANDARD AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME, on page 15.
Page 13

3.When the gate leaf has reached a position suitable for
pedestrian access, release the button.
4.The pedestrian access drive timer has now been set. Either
press the OSC button [35] and exit the time set mode or con-
tinue setting one of the synchronising delay or auto-close
times.
SLOW MOTOR SPEED.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Please make sure that the gate(s)
are in the open position before proceeding with steps 1 to 5
below.
The speed the motor slows down towards the end of a cycle
can be adjusted using the following procedure. The factory set
default slow speed is set to “ 3”
1.Note the current maximum speed selected by the speed
selection dial [24].
2.Using the speed selection dial [24] select the desired slow
speed.
3.Press and hold the 'RESET' button [29] and count five (5)
flashes of the OPEN status led [28].
4.Release the button.
5.Place the speed selection dial [24] back to the desired
maximum speed .
Adjustment method for auto-close and Synchronising delay
times.
1.Press and hold the required button for the desired time.
2.Release the button.
3.Press the OSC button [35] to exit the time setting mode or
restart from step 1 to set another time.
Notes
a) The time setting mode is indicated by both the OPEN and
CLOSE status LED's being off.
b) Each flash of the OPN led represents 1 second.
c) When a button is first pressed, the CLOSE status led [27]
turns on. The time delay is set to zero when the CLOSE led
turns off and then increases for as long as the button is held.

CONTROLLERS MODE SELECTION SWITCHES
This section covers details on how to adjust several parameters
via the control boards buttons and dials (Fig 11).
Other adjustments can be performed by use of the advanced
technicians CB-9 V3.03 Control Board Instruction Manual
and Programmer. Contact your local ATA distributor for ser-
vice.
SYNCHRONISING DELAY TIME.
The synchronising delay time is adjusted using the 'SYNC de-
lay timer' button [34]. The synchronising delay time is adjust-
able in 0.1 second steps. The factory set default is 2 seconds.
STANDARD AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME.
The standard auto-close delay time is adjusted using the 'STD
auto-close' button [33]. The standard auto-close delay time is
adjustable in 1 second steps. The factory set default is 30 sec.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME.
The pedestrian auto-close delay time is adjusted using the 'PED
auto-close' button [32]. The pedestrian auto-close delay time is
adjustable in 1 second steps. The factory set default is 15 sec.
P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME.
The P.E. triggered auto-close delay time is adjusted using the
'P.E. auto-close' button [31]. The P.E. triggered auto-close de-
lay time is adjustable in 1 second steps. The factory set default
is “off”.
PEDESTRIAN ACCESS CYCLE TIME.
The pedestrian access cycle time sets how far gate leaf 1 opens
for pedestrian access.
1.Drive the gate to the closed position using the OSC button
[35] or another control input.
2.Press and hold the 'PED cycle timer' button [30]. The gate
leaf driven by motor 1 will start to open.
MIXING AUTO-CLOSE MODES.
The PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode and the STANDARD
AUTO-CLS mode do not affect each other as one operates dur-
ing standard operation and the other during pedestrian access.
However it is possible to have P.E. triggered pedestrian auto-
close by selecting both the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS and
If the P.E. input is configured to stop the gate during opening
or closing, then the gate can auto-close from a midway posi-
tion. This feature is implemented so that once a vehicle has en-
tered the gateway and broken the P.E. beam, the gate will stop.
When the P.E. beam is cleared the gate will auto-close from
the stopped position. This results in the gate not having to fully
open and thus reducing the time unwarranted access through
the gate is possible. The factory set delay time of 1 second is
adjustable, see section “P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE
DELAY TIME” below.
Page 14
P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS modes. In this case the gate
would partly open for pedestrian access and then either the P.E.
TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS would cause the gate to auto-close
when a pedestrian walks through and activates the P.E beam or,
if no one walked through the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS
would close the gate. This way the gate is only kept open long
enough for a person to walk through, but with the backup that
if no one walks through the gate will still close. The same con-
cept can be used with standard operation by selecting both the
STANDARD AUTO-CLS and the P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-
CLS modes. That is, the gate would only stay open long
enough for the vehicle to pass through but would still auto-
close if no vehicle enters.
Note P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS will not operate during
pedestrian access unless the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode
is also selected.

CODING OF RECEIVER/ TRANSMITTER
SETTING TRANSMITTERS CODES TO
RECEIVER
The Remote Transmitters can be programmed into the gates re-
ceiver to do two functions. Firstly the full Open/Stop/Close, and
secondly the partly open gate for PEDestrian only access. The
memory in the receiver can store up to 111 different remote con-
trol transmitters.
• Make sure to connect the battery to the Transmitters.
STORING THE TRANSMITTERS CODE
FOR O/S/C
1. Press and hold the Code O/S/C button on the receiver
(Fig 13).
2. Press the button (one of four) on the Transmitter you would
like to use to control the gate for approximately two seconds.
Pause for two seconds. Press the same button again on the
Transmitter for approximately two second (Fig 12).
3. Release the Code O/S/C button (Fig 13).
4. Press the Transmitter button to see if it operates the gate. If
you wish you can code in all four buttons on the Transmitter
so all four can operate the same gate.
STORING THE TRANSMITTERS CODE FOR
PEDESTRIAN ONLY ACCESS
1. Press and hold the Code PED button on the receiver Fig 13.
2. Press the button (one of four) on the Transmitter you would
like to use to control the pedestrian access for approximately
two seconds. Pause for two seconds. Press the same button
again on the Transmitter for approximately two seconds.
3. Release the Code PED button (Fig 13).
4. Press the Transmitter button to see if it operates the gate.
IMPORTANT NOTE The Pedestrian Access Cycle Time Page
13 button [30], must be set to complete setting this feature.
STORING ADDITIONAL TRANSMITTER (S)
FROM A REMOTE LOCATION
Using this method you don’t need to have access to the control box
or receiver. However, you do need a transmitter that is pre coded to
the controller’s receiver.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The gate must be activated when the
step below is preformed. The moving gate is to confirm from a
remote location that the correct button was pressed and the
transmitter is in range of the opener of a pre coded Transmit-
ter.
1. Take any pre coded Transmitter. Press the button for the
function you require until the gate is activated and release.
2. Then using a small needle press and hold firmly for 2 seconds
through the Coding Hole (Fig 12).
3. Within 10 seconds take the additional transmitter you wish to
code and Press the button (one of four) on the Transmitter you
would like to use to control the gate for approximately two
seconds. Pause for two seconds. Press the same button again
on the Transmitter for approximately two seconds.
DELETING TRANSMITTER CODES
TO DELETE ONE TRANSMITTER
1. Press and hold the Code O/S/C button (pressing the
PED code button will only delete the PED function
for that transmitter) on the receiver [20]
2. Press the button (one of four) on the Transmitter you
would like to delete from the receiver for approxi-
mately two seconds. Pause for two seconds. Press the
same button again on the Transmitter for approxi-
mately two second.
3. Release the Code O/S/C button.
4. Press the Transmitter button to see if it operates the
gate.
TO DELETE ALL TRANSMITTERS
1. Turn off mains power at the switch (and if the battery
backup is connected, remove the VAC shunt [17] and
replace after step 2).
2. Press and hold the Code O/S/C button on the receiver
Fig 13 while turning on the mains power, continue to
hold the Code O/S/C button for a further ten seconds.
3. Press the Transmitter button to see if it operates the
gate. No transmitter should operate the gate.

WIRING TERMINALS & CONNECTORS
LOCK RELEASE OUTPUT FOR SOLENOID LOCKS.
Figure 15 shows how to connect an electric solenoid lock
to the control board’s lock release output. Note the lock release
output only switches the applied voltage to the lock and must be
“wetted” with the appropriate voltage.
ATA Electric impulse lock Order code 90101.
Figure 15: Wiring solenoid locks
CONTROL AND SAFETY INPUT TERMINALS.
Figure 14 shows how to wire the control and safety input
terminals to switches, such as a Photo Electric Beam. Note that
the P.E., OPN and STP inputs require a normally closed contact,
which is provided by the shunts (see Fig 11 and Fig 14).
The appropriate shunt must be removed when the P E, OPN
or STP inputs are used. The CLS, OSC and PED inputs require
a normally open contact.
ATA Photo Electric Beams are available:-
Order code 90214 for receiver/transmitter type.
Order code 91315 for reflective type. Figure 14: Wiring control and safety inputs.
LOCK RELEASE OUTPUT FOR MAGNETIC LOCKS.
Figure 16 shows how to connect an electromagnetic lock to the
control board’s lock release output. Note the lock release output only
switches the applied voltage to the lock and must be wetted with the
appropriate voltage (24VDC in the example shown).
Note that the lock is connected to the normally closed contact of the
lock release output as the lock is energised when the controller is idle
and not driving the motors. Note the lock output's action will need to
be programmed for a hold action when this type of lock is used. Figure 16: Wiring magnetic locks
LIGHT CONTROL RELAY MODULE.
Figure 17 shows how to connect the optional relay module to
the
control board’s connector [21]. It also shows how to wire a light
to the relay module. ATA supply this with a 240VAC to
24VDC relay. Any voltage relay can be used provided the relay
module is able to switch the required voltage and current. Make
sure any mains voltage lighting is properly earthed.
E.g., Use this to control lights on a gate pillar, garden lights or
security lights.
ATA order code 90111.
Figure 17: Wiring light control relay module.

A battery backup system is provided so that the gate can be con-
trolled (for a limited time) in the event of mains power failure.
When the backup system is utilised, the control board detects the
presence of mains voltage from the domestic power grid. When the
mains power fails the control board switches to the backup supply
provided by a 24V DC battery. When mains power is reinstated the
control boards switches back to mains supply.
The following items are required to use the battery backup system:
1. A 24VDC battery connected to the control board connector [16]
(Fig 18).
2. Ensure a shunt is placed on the VAC pins [17] (Fig 18).
The control board has a built in charger which maintains the battery
charge when mains power is present. The control board monitors
the battery voltage during use and prevents over discharging, which
damages the battery, by shutting down the control board if the bat-
tery voltage gets too low.
The 'IN USE' indicator [15] (Fig 18) illuminates when mains is not
present and the battery is being used.
The 'VAC' shunt can be removed to prevent the battery system
being used when mains power fails. Note the battery charge is still
maintained provided mains is present. This link is provided so that
the controller can be turned off when a backup battery is connected.
It is removed when complete absence of power is required. For ex-
ample when clearing the receivers memory of all codes.
OPERATING THE GATE OPERATOR
• Press the Button on the Transmitter programmed for full
gate opening for two seconds to open or close the gate.
• Pressing the Transmitter Button again during operation will
cause the gate to stop.
• Pressing the button again will cause the gate to move in the
opposite direction.
• This is the Open Stop Close function of the remote control.
• Press the button on the transmitter programmed for
pedestrian access and the gate will partly open. Press the
button again and the gate will close.
• When a Auto Close mode selection switch is “ON” the gate
will auto close after 15 – 30 seconds or as triggered by break-
ing the P E Beam and commencing the timer. Refer to Page
14 & 15 for details or call your installer to adjust.
• Read the Mode Selection Switches section and Control Board
Adjustments section for details on various other settings and
options.
• Disengage to manual operation refer to Page 7, Fig 3 & 4.
• The built in safety feature will sense an obstruction. When
obstructed during closing it will reverse to the open position
and when the gate is opening the gate will stop. Refer to page
12 step 7 for adjustment details.
CARE OF TRANSMITTER
• Do not leave transmitter in direct sunlight (i.e.; on top of the
car dashboard).
• Do not expose transmitter to excessive heat and/or water.
• Do not subject transmitter to shock or vibration (i.e.; dropping
of transmitter on ground).
• Keep transmitter out of reach of children at all times.
• Batteries will loose their power over time and will need
replacing periodically.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
• Your Opener is design for trouble free operation, however we
recommend to re-grease all internal drive gears with a high
pressure lubricant at 12 monthly intervals. Failure to provide
routine maintenance will shorten the openers life.
• Closing and opening obstruction forces should be checked
regularly and any necessary adjustments made. Refer to
Page 12, Step 7 for instructions on correct setting of overload
sensitivity settings and initialisation.
SERVICE
• For on site service and assistance contact your gate/opener
installer or local ATA distributor. They will be able to inspect
and service both your gate and opener.
• Write the details of your installer here for future reference.
