ATA – Elite Swing Gate Manual Grey v2.00
Setting Travel Limits
PLEASE NOTE – Before plugging the gate control system in, check the power cord for damage and ensure it cannot become entangled in any moving parts.
WARNING: make sure the obstruction sensitivity is adjusted correctly on installation so that the gate(s) reverse to the open position when obstructed with minimum pressure and stops on opening cycle when obstructed with minimum pressure. Failure to comply with the set up procedure may result in serious personal injury and/or property damage.
- Connect the five core cable from the control box to the drive unit(s).
- Fully open the gate and engage the motor assembly.
- After checking the initial wiring, apply power to the DCB-05. The controller will go through a startup sequence displaying the STARTUP SCREEN which indicates the controller type and fi rmware version Fig. 19.
After a short delay the MAIN SCREEN will be displayed. If this is the fi rst time the DCB-05 has been used, the MAIN SCREEN should indicate that the limits are not set Fig. 20.
If the display shows that some input is active, rectify the situation before proceeding. If a default setting is to be changed, it should be done now before setting the travel limits.
Step 1. Navigating To “Limit/Amp Travel Menu”
To navigate to Menu 10.1 from the main screen, simply scroll to the left using the PREV button to access MENU 10, followed by SET to display MENU 10.1 (Fig. 21). Press SET again to start the limit setting procedure.
Step 2. Confi rming Ready To Start
DCB-05 will prompt you to confi rm that the motor wiring is complete (Fig. 22) and that the gate(s) are in a fully open position and engaged. Press SET to confi rm (Fig. 23).
Step 3. Confi rming Correct Wiring Detected
DCB-05 will now automatically detect the type of drive unit used by the number of wires used. If the correct number of wires is displayed (Fig. 24) then press SET to continue. Otherwise press EXIT and check the wiring.
Step 4. Confi rming Motors Detected
DCB-05 will now automatically detect if one or two motor are connected. If the correct number is displayed, then press SET to confi rm. Otherwise press EXIT and check the wiring (Fig. 25).
Step 5. Adjusting Close Limit(s)
DCB-05 will now prompt one at a time for the motor(s) to be driven to the desired close limit and for the limit switches to be adjusted so that the motor stops at the desired position (Fig. 26).
The motor can be driven using the UP and DOWN buttons on the console keypad or Button 1 and 4 of a transmitter. In the limits setup mode, the display will show the percentage of the power used to move the gate (Fig. 27).
After making adjustments to the limit switch positions always re-approach the limit at full speed by driving the motor open a short distance and then driving it close again. When the close limit has been adjusted, press SET to continue.
Note: If the motor drives in the wrong direction (UP closes gate / DOWN opens gate), the motor wires need to be swapped.
Step 6. Adjusting Open Limit(s)
DCB-05 will now prompt for the motor(s) to be driven to the desired open limit and for the limit switches to be adjusted so that the motor stops at the desired position.
The motor can be driven using the UP and DOWN buttons on the console keypad or Button 1 and 4 of a transmitter. In the limits setup mode, the display will show the percentage of the power used to move the gate.
After making adjustments to the limit switch positions always re-approach the limit at full speed by driving the motor close a short distance and then driving it open again. When the open limit has been adjusted, press SET.
Step 7. Automatic Profiling
After a brief pause, DCB-05 will automatically close and open gate several times and learn the gates load and travel characteristics. When the setup is complete, the MAIN SCREEN will be displayed “Gate is closed”. The gate can now be used.
