IMPORTANT: Operator MUST be grounded in lightning
prone areas or warranty will be VOIDED!
NOTE: Consult city codes for AC line wiring.
Beware of existing underground services.

ID plug MUST be plugged in.
Proper grounding of this gate operator is a requirement for
LIGHTNING PROTECTION in lightning prone areas. To be effective,
ground connections should be made with a minimum 12 AWG, 600
volt insulated wire to a ground point within 3 feet of the gate
operator. The ground point must be at an electrical panel, a
metallic cold water pipe that runs in the earth, or a grounding rod.
Dual Gate Operators NOTE: Secondary
operator will automatically be set to
the opposite opening direction as the
primary gate operator.

ERD
The ERD Sensor - Electronic Reversing Device (Type A) MUST be adjusted for the OPEN and CLOSE gate cycles.
When the gate encounters an obstruction during the CLOSE cycle, it will reverse to the open position and PAUSE the gate.
An input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and close again.
When the gate encounters an obstruction during the OPEN cycle, it will reverse approximately 6 inches and PAUSE the gate.
An input command (press remote button or exit loop) is needed BEFORE the gate will reset and open again.
For the ERD Sensitivity to function correctly:
• Virtual limit sensors must be programmed BEFORE adjusting the ERD Sensitivity.
A. Turn knob until blue LED lights up.
Maximum sensitivity reached,
Position 1 - Too sensitive for most gates.
Position 13:
•Typical gate setting.
B. Turn knob counter-clockwise to
reduce gate sensitivity while testing ERD
until desired results is attained.
(LED remains OFF for all but position 1)
IMPORTANT: When satisfied
with ERD adjustment, cycle
the gate 3 or 4 times to make
sure that the ERD sensor does
not falsely trigger during
normal gate operation.
Re-adjust if this happens.
CAUTION: Position 16 results in gate exerting
MAXIMUM force before reversing direction.
Adjusting ERD:
Typical Settings:
16 sensitivity setting positions.
NO mechanical hard stop for knob.
Position 16:
•Heavy gate setting.
•Long gate setting.
•Cantilever gate setting.
•High wind area gate setting.

manual release
The dynamic braking system is released for 15 minutes when switch is turned ON and gate can be manually pushed open.
After 15 minutes, the gate operator returns to normal operation. Turn this switch OFF after gate has been moved.
SAFETY FEATURE: If switch is NOT turned ON, the dynamic braking system,
in closed position, will fight back if unauthorized manual opening is attempted.
Note: If switch is NOT turned OFF after 15 minutes, gate operator returns to
normal operation and will not allow gate to be pushed open again.
To re-activate the switch when left ON after 15 minutes, turn switch OFF then
back ON again. Gate can be manually pushed open again.

Allows the gate to be electronically opened by the operator. Gate will fully open when activated by key switch or any dry contact

gate cycling troubleshooting
Gate Symptom Solutions (what to check)
• Check GATE SHUTOFF switch, it should be OFF. Turn switch ON then OFF again, possible chain drop event and switch needs
to be recycled. GATE DISABLE LED should be OFF.
• Check if OPEN and CLOSE Limits have been learned. Refer to Learn Gate Positions section and learn limits.
• Check if GATE SPEED rotary dial is set to MAX position (LED on).
• Gate may be too heavy for operator (check manual for maximum gate weight for your model operator).
• Check if "BATTERY IN USE" LED is ON. If so, gate is on Battery back up mode and battery is running low.
• Operator may be in battery back up mode. check if Mode 1 switch is ON on the back of Matrix 1.
• Check if “Gate in Motion” Alarm feature is ON (“Mode 0” switch is on back of Matrix 1 and set to “ON”).
• Check if Power LEDs are ON on both Matrix 1 and MC-200. Check if “MOTOR ON-LINE” LED and “LIMIT SWITCH ON-LINE”
LED are both ON on Matrix 1.
• Check if PRIMARY GATE "open RIGHT / open LEFT" switch is set properly.
• Check if GATE SHUTOFF switch is OFF (GATE DISABLE LED should be OFF)
• Check if GATE DISABLE LED is ON. If so, check if GATE DISABLE input is active.
• Check if "EDGE 2" LED or "PHOTOCELL" LED is ON or BLINKING on MC-200. If so, check entrapment sensor wiring or
missing jumper.
• Check if “BATTERY IN USE“ LED is ON. IF so, battery may be too low and gate is kept closed (BATTERY BACK-UP MODE
switch set to “Leave Closed“).
• Check if Power LEDs are ON on both Matrix 1 and MC-200. Check if “MOTOR ON-LINE“ LED and “LIMIT SWITCH ON-LINE”
LED are both ON on Matrix 1.
• Check if “EDGE 1“ LED is ON or BLINKING on MC-200. If so, check entrapment sensor wiring and alignment.
• Check if any loops are active, check SAFETY LOOP or EXIT LOOP LED is ON.
• Check if any open command inputs are active (check if LED is ON on the matrix 1 for: RADIO, FIRE DEPT, MAX OPEN,
STRIKE, KEYPAD/RDR, PHOTOCELL). Check device connected to the input that LED light is turned ON.
• Check if PRIMARY GATE “open RIGHT / open LEFT” switch is set properly.
• Check if GATE SHUTOFF switch is OFF (GATE DISABLE LED should be OFF)
• Check if GATE DISABLE LED is ON. If so, check if GATE DISABLE input is active.
• If “EDGE 2“ LED or “PHOTOCELL“ LED is ON or BLINKING on MC-200. If so, check entrapment sensor wiring or missing
jumper.
• If “BATTERY IN USE” LED is ON and BATTERY BACK-UP MODE switch = “Leave Open”, then battery may be too low and gate
is kept OPEN.
• If “BATTERY IN USE” LED is ON and BATTERY BACK-UP MODE switch is set to “OPEN 1-TIME”, then if AC power is lost, gate
will automatically open 1 time.
• If “CLOSE TIMER” is OFF, then gate will not close automatically. A close command (i.e radio, close) is required to close gate.
• Loop detector is defective (EXIT, or SAFETY).
• Loop has a short or open. Measure loop resistance.
• If “ERD“ LED is ON, an obstruction (ERD event) is detected. If no apparent obstruction, select a less sensitive ERD setting.
• If “EDGE 2“ LED is ON, entrapment sensor is triggered or jumper on connector is broken.
• Gate Open and Close Limits have not been learned properly. Relearn limit positions using jog RT and jog LT.
• The magnet(s) are not installed in correct limit position on the chain.
• Only for OPENING gate (not during closing cycle): Check if PARTIAL OPEN feature is turned ON. Relearn partial open position
or turn off PARTIAL OPEN feature.
• If “MATRIX ON-LINE” LED or “LIMIT SWITCH ON-LINE” LED are OFF on MC-200, then check wiring between (MC-200 &
Matrix 1) or (MC-200 and Limit switch box).
• Check if “PHOTOCELL” LED is ON on MC-200. If so, check entrapment sensor wiring or missing jumper
• Motor hall sensor cable may be compromised. Unplug cable from MC-200 “Motor Inputs” and ensure wires are not broken
and are crimped properly.
• Check if closing photo cell is misaligned with reflector (check photocell on MC-200 “EDGE 1” input or Matrix 1 “Photocell”
input.
• Check if SAFETY LOOP is set too sensitive, then gate itself triggers SAFETY loop and reopens gate. Desensitize SAFETY LOOP
detector.
Gate beeps but will not open
or close for any command
given.
Gate moves slowly.
Gate beeps when opening
and closing.
Gate does NOT open.
Gate does NOT close.
Gate stops prematurely and
beeps, moves in opposite
direction.
Gate will stop before
reaching desired limit
setting.
Gate stops abruptly while in
motion.
Gate re-opens while closing.

NOTE: To meet the UL 325 2016 standard, Type B1 Non-Contact sensor
entrapment protection device MUST be MONITORED by the gate operator.
Installation Steps:
1. Set switch to “LIGHT ON”
2. Wire 12V power to photocell
3. Wire motor controller EDGE 1
to photocell NO1
Wire motor controller GND to
photocell C-1
4. Align photocell to reflector
5. Adjust sensitivity
Installation Steps:
1. Set DIP-switches
2. Remove jumpers JP-5 and JP-6
3. Wire 12V power to photocell (VRX)
4. Wire motor controller EDGE 1
to photocell NC (Energized)
Wire motor controller GND to
photocell COM (Energized)
5. Align photocell to reflector
6. Adjust sensitivity
Power NOTE: If
photocell does NOT
function using VRX
power input, connect
power to VTX input
instead.
