CONCRETE PAD AND ATTACHMENT



STANDARD INSTALLATION


Sample Standard Installation is Shown on Previous page.

Dimension (A) thru (E) are from the center of one pivot point to the center of another pivot point. Caution: If the gate is longer than 18 feet, follow Chart A:A-2 Suggestion: The dimension between the gate and the concrete pad is always 10 inches less than the dimension D. Example: D=42" If the dimension between the gate and the concrete pad 32".


*Note - It this dimension is between 20 and 32 inches, compact installation is necessary. (Refer to page 6)


COMPACT INSTALLATION Compact Installation Only! DO NOT Use These Measurements for a Standard Installation.





Follow the exact measurements, then cut the standard an to meet the shorter measurements.


GATE ARM INSTALLATION




Weld Completely Around the rectangular tubes.


GATE MOVEMENT DIRECTION Plug in the limit/motor harness wires to the left socket (#1) if your gate, from the inside of the property, opens to the left and closes to the right. Plug into the right socket (#2) if the gate opens to the right and closes to the left from the inside of the property.





ADJUSTMENT OF OUTPUT SHAFT




DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION Use Elite's optional 18 VAC plug-in transformer (Elite Part # A POW-1). Hook up the transformer to 115 VAC. Use two, low voltage, 14 gauge / 300watt direct burial, landscape lighting cables. Hook these wires to the two yellow wires from the control board to the plug-in transformer.

After the plug-in transformer has been connected to the power source, connect the battery cable plug to the limit/motor harness plug. You will immediately hear a beep for a few seconds. After the beep, check the "Charge OK" LED ...... ...... it must be "ON".



"OPTIONAL" SOLAR PANEL If you use Elite's optional solar panel (Elite Part # Solar 3) Connect the. two wires from the solar panel to the two yellow wires on the control board. Sunlight will energize the batteries through the solar panel. This solar panel will charge up to 2800 Mamp/Hr in optimum conditions & 500 Mamp/Hr in light overcast conditions. For detailed specifications consult the Solar 3 installation sheet.


Energizing Robo Swing with solar power only needs the radio receiver to operate the gate The only recommended external devices other than radio receivers are dry-contact command devices which do not consume any current like key switches. Using other devices that consume high current such as telephone access, magnetic locks or loop detectors will cause excess drainage of the battery and eventually completely drain the battery .



TERMINAL INPUT CONNECTIONS The radio receiver must be 12 VDC only (Elite Part # A 1099-12V), If you want to use safety, exit or center loops, you must use 12 VDC loop detectors only (Elite Part # A 23), The hook-ups for the radio receiver are as follows: Strike open wires go to 8 and 9 on terminal Power supply goes to terminal 10 (positive +) and terminal 8 (negative -) Connections for other devices are shown below.







ADJUSTING GATE TRAVELING DISTANCE Release the red handle and open the gate. to a distance desired Loosen the screw Turn plastic part until the half moor shape hits the limit switch For closing cycle, do the same with the other plastic part.

ADJUSTABLE TIMER If you want to use the automatic close for the gate system the timer switch Should be. put in the "ON" position if You want to use the push open or push close command, the timer should be switched to the "OFF" position.


ADJUSTABLE REVERSING SENSOR There is a blue pot with a while screw adjustment on the Lipper portion of the control board marked "Reverse Sensor". Do Not Touch Alarm Sensor blue pot. The level of sensitivity has to do with the weight of the gate and the condition of installation. Too sensitive = if the gate stops or reverses by itself Not sensitive enough = if the gate hits an object and does not stop or reverse.


There is an LED "Heavy Gate" which will light up when the gate is heavier than normal for the operator. The operator will still function properly

EMERGENCY RELEASE

Grab the Gate to Make Adjustments

Tighten the Red Handle, Replace the Cover and Bolt when Finished When the power is turned on again, the gate will readjust itself automatically.

"OPTIONAL" INPUT BOARD
The optional board allows extra control of the gate, is available only from Elite Access Systems Installation is simple: just clip the optional board to the J2 slot on the top of the control board Below lists the function of each pin. 1 & 2 Open Switch 3 & 4 Stop Switch (Cut W1 Jumper at Bottom of Board) 5 & 6 Timer Close Output from Master to Slave 7 & 8 Timer Input from Slave to Master (Close Command) 9 & 10 Vandalism Alarm Output (Not Burglar Alarm) 12 VDC 11 & 4 Emergency Open (Direct Command from Battery to Motor) 12 & 7 Emergency Close (Direct Command from Battery to Motor) 13 & 14 Magnetic Lock - Dry Contact Relay (Com NC 15 & 16 Center Loop Option (For Swing Gate Operators Only)



MASTER AND SLAVE WITH TIMER To use the master/slave option with Robo Swing, you must purchase the Optional Input Board (Elite Part # Q203) and connect it to the J2 slot. (Refer to page 16)





MASTER AND SLAVE WITHOUT TIMER To use the master/slave option with Robo Swing, you must purchase the Optional Input Board (Elite Part # Q203) and connect it to the J2 slot (Refer to page 16)

TROUBLESHOOTING
How to Reset the Breaker If all electronic sensors fail or are not adjusted properly due to heavy gates, off -track gate, or obstructed gate path, the breaker will kick-out. Reset the breaker by pressing the reset button located on the bottom left corner of the control board.

How to Check the Fuses If the gate is not moving in any direction be sure to check all of the LED displays on the control board. If the board power or charging power LEDs are "ON", change the corresponding fuse on the top left corner of the board.
