CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION
1. Decide the installation position of control box first, it is suggested to be installed near the gate and should
be protected from possible damage. Be aware of the motor cable length before deciding the installation position.
2. Remove the cover by unscrewing the four screws on the cover. See Figure 1(1).
3. Use a screwdriver to puncture the holes beneath the bottom of the control box. See Figure 1(2).
4. Secure it on the wall. See Figure 1(3).
5. Wiring Connection:
Prepare all the wires of the accessories beforehand and connect the wires to the gear motors and accessories on
the PCB as shown in Figure 1(4). All of the wiring connections of the accessories are not requested to
distinguish the positive (+) and the negative (-) polarity.
1). Flashing Light: Connect the two wires from the flashing light to the terminal L+ and L- on the PCB.
2). Electric Latch: Connect the two wires from the electric latch to the terminal Lo + and Lo- on the PCB.
3). Gate openers: Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the wires separately to the terminals on the PCB.
Motor 1: Connect the motor wire (White +) to the terminals Mo1 +, and (Yellow -) to the Mo1-.
Motor 2: Connect the motor wire (White +) to the terminals Mo2 +, and (Yellow -) to the Mo2 -.
Notes:
For gates opened outward,
Motor 1: Connect the motor wire (Yellow -) to the terminals Mo1 +, and (White +) to the terminals Mo1-.
Motor 2: Connect the motor wire (Yellow -) to the terminals Mo2 +, and (White +) to the terminals Mo2 -.
4). Photocells: See Figure 1(4)

2.6 GATE OPERATION
Press the button “A” on the transmitter for dual-gate operation.
Press the button “B” on the transmitter for single-gate
operation in either single-gate or dual-gate installation.
2.7 GATE-MOVING LOGIC
(A) In gate-opening phase: The gates stop if the transmitter/push button/key selector is activated, and close when
the transmitter/push button/key selector is reactivated.
(B) In gate-closing phase: The gates stop if the transmitter/push button/key selector is activated, and open when
the transmitter/push button/key selector is reactivated.
(C) In gate-opening or gate-closing phase: For safety purpose, the gates stop if encountering obstacles.

The gate doesn’t move when pressing the
button of the transmitter
The gate only moves a little distance when
pressing the button of the transmitter.
The transmitting distance is too short
The gear motors run very slowly
The Flashing light does not work
The leaves shall be closed instead of opening
The leaves suddenly stop during moving
The leaves does not move or only move toward
one direction
The master gate closes to the end first and the
slave gate stops, the flashing light blinks fast for
five seconds.
The gear motors does not run and the relay is
noisy when operating the gate opening and
closing
Check the wiring connection of the batteries.
1. Check if LED3 or 4 is “ON”.
2. Check if the voltage of the batteries is below 22V.
3. Check if LED1 is “ON”.
4. Make sure all the wiring connections are firmly connected to the
terminals on the PCB.
5. Make sure the fuse is workable.
Make sure the wiring connection of the hall sensor is firm.
Make sure the connecting terminals of the
Antenna is firm.
Check the dip switch setting of the speed adjustment.
Check if the wiring connection of the flashing light is correct.
Change the polarity connection of the positive (+) with the negative (-)
of the gear motors.
1. Check if the “RESET” socket is activated.
2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm.
3. Make sure the hall sensor wiring connection is firm.
4. The GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB must be
short-circuited if no photocells installed.
5. Make sure the fuse is workable.
1. Check if the “RESET” socket is activated.
2. Make sure the wiring connection of the gear motors is firm.
3. Make sure the hall sensor wiring connection is firm.
4. The GND terminal of the photocells on the PCB must be
short-circuited if no photocells installed.
Cut off the AC input power and the output of the batteries. Release the
master gate and slave gate manually, then open the master to the end
and close the slave gate to the end by hand, then power the whole unit
by connecting the AC and battery terminals.
Check if the fuse is burned.

CONTROL BOX 9
The safety photocells are security devices for control automatic gates. Consist of one transmitter and one receiver
based in waterproof covers; it is triggered while breaking the path of the beams.
INSTALLATION:
Wire Connection of PH-2 Photocells
TX: Connect terminals 1 and 2 on the transmitter with the terminals G and +12V on the PC170 PCB.
RX: Connect terminals 1, 2 and 4 on the receiver with the terminals G, FO+ and FO1 on the PC170.
And use an extra wire to connect terminals 2 and 5 on the receiver as a bridge.
