1 Notes
• Please read these instructions carefully before operating the lock.
1.1 Liability notes
• The installation of this signal box has to be done according to these instructions
• The installation instruction is part of VdS certification and the certification of other testing institutes.
• Non-compliance leads to the loss of this certification.
• When operating beyond the specifications the warranty of the manufacturer will be void.
• Take care of not damaging the cables and all connected components.
2 Introduction
• The connection box “GatorSignal Plus“ is a universal interface for exchanging signals of locks within the Gator series with
external systems via potential-free contacts. This includes the function as blocking device and the signalization of a silent
alarm.
• It offer the possibility of power supplying a lock system (containing of several locks and/or input units).
• Up to two locks or locking electronics can be connected to one box. Inside of redundant locks there are two independent
electronics. They work as two separate locks.
3 Signals
• The following signals can be processed or generated independently from the configuration
• Concerning the adjustment of signals of pre-defined levels 10, 20, 30 we refer to the ”General operating notes levels 10,
20, 30”.
3.1 In-/outputs
• Every lock electronic has got 3 outputs and 2 inputs. The assignment is generally freely configurable and is done via PC
software Gator Select. For the standard configurations (level 10, 20, 30) they are already configured.
• The signals on the input take effect on both connected locks/lock electronics. In that manner a boltwork switch can be pro-
cessed by two electronics at the same time.
• With two connected lock electronics one output each is connected if at least one has the condition “disjunction“.
3.1.1 Inputs
Release contact [blocking device] System will be blocked when the according controlling
input has got control voltage.
Start delay time When changing the signal level from the defined idle
state, the delay time 1 is started.
Boltwork switch
Automatic closing is interrupted until the boltwork is in
closed position. This ensures that the bolt of motor locks
can go into closed position without taking damage.
Blocking signal
With an active signal the lock cannot be closed via the
input unit.
The automatic closing is not affected by it.

Installation instruction GatorSignal Plus
3.1.2 Ouptuts
Bolt position
For signalling the lock’s bolt position. The contact is active
when the bolt reaches or leaves the closed position.
Note:
If the bolt position should change while the lock is in
standby mode, i.e. with latch bolt locks, the switching
status changes only when the lock is active again.
Silent alarm – By entering the alarm code (last code
number freely adjustable) an alarm signal is triggered and
sent to the burglar alarm system. The lock opens with the
alarm code.
Opening delay active
When the opening delay is started the according output
is triggered. The signal can be used for signal lights for
example.
Release window active If an opening delay is activated, the according output is
switched. The signal can then be used for i.e. signal lights.
Opening window active The lock can be opened after the opening delay has en-
ded. This is signaled by the according output.
4 Plug position
All locks within the Gator series are equipped with an 8-pin plug to connect to the “GatorSignal Plus“ box.
4.1 Gator 2000 4.2 Gator 3000/3010
GatorSignal Plus (8-pin) GatorSignal Plus (8-pin)
4.3 Gator 5000 4.4 Gator 6000/8000/9000

Connect the cable to the according plug for the “Gator Signal Plus“ box.

5 System
The connection is created by a cord set system cable. This cable is available in various lengths.

5.2 Power supply
• The power distribution within the Gator system is done by bus cables.
• The supply voltage for operating the motors and a controlled supply of the electronic (logic voltage) is secured.
• When using batteries the power supply is done by the input unit. For the additional energy supply when using more than
one lock within a system, the “GatorSignal Plus” is equipped with a double input control (motor voltage) and a powerful
control (logic voltage).
• When using the signal box it is strongly recommended to power supply the system by it. The required holding power of the
relay greatly reduces the life span of the battery. The use of batteries is only reasonable as emergency power supply.

• Take off the cover for mounting/dismounting.
• Fix the case onto the safe door with at least two screws.
• The case can be sealed with the enclosed adhesive seal after finishing the mounting process in order to visibly prove mani-
pulation of the system.
7.2 Break-out for wiring
• Lead the cables through the break-outs from below.
• Create break-outs at the according places.
• Fix the cables with cable ties onto the case (strain-relief).
• If flexible parts of cables are placed onto clamping strip, it is recommended to protect them with wire-end ferrules or tin coat them.
Attention :
• After taking out the pc board the plastic washer hast o be used when re-mounting (to avoid shorts/damage).

7.4 Internal assignment input
• Both inputs are made as diode lines for optocouplers.
• To simplify the assignment of potential-free contacts the supply voltage was bridged to additional.
• max. input voltage 12 VDC
• medium current consumption ca. 10mA
7.4.1 Internal assignment output
• When operating in mixed mode with batteries, they are “divided“ electronically by mixing diodes as soon as the motor
voltage is higher than the open-circuit voltage of the battery (9V) – unnecessary discharging is avoided.
• All outputs are made as changeover contacts of a relay.
• The base contact (com) leads to a solder contact for a row resistor i.e. for a direct evaluation within an alarm circle by a
burglar alarm system.
• When using the changer as switch, either solder a jumper at this place or use the asigned solder jumper.
• The marking of the solder jumpers are numbered like the corresponding output relays:
- J1 and R1 correspond to relay Q1
- J2 and R2 correspond to relay Q2
- J3 and R3 correspond to relay Q3
- J4 and R4 correspond to relay release switch (sabotage)
7.5 Activate/deactivate I/Os
• The in-/output functions have tob e activated in the software GatorSelect or the input unit with the according access rights
before using them.
