SWR • SWC • SWD Swing Gate Operator Installation Guide - 21 - 227965 Revision X13 3-28-2008
Dual Gate Installations
Two operators can be used in dual gate installations. The
operators communicate with each other through the 3-wire
COMM LINK terminals.
When one operator activates, the COMM LINK connection
signals the other operator to activate. Each operator
functions independently, controlling its gate and monitoring
its inputs and accessories.
A three-wire shielded conductor cable is required to connect
two operators together for dual operation. Use Belden 8760
Twisted Pair Shielded Cable (or equivalent) only – P/N
2500-1982, per foot).
✓ NOTE: The shield wire should be connected COMM LINK terminal
“C” in both operators.
Three of the programming functions available are only used
for dual gate installations:
Dual Gate Enable•
Dual Gate Enable must be set for all dual gate installations.
Stagger Mode•
The Stagger Mode function determines if the operator has a delayed
open or a delayed close. In dual swing gate installations, typically one
operator is programmed for delayed open, and the other operator is
programmed for delayed close.
Stagger Delay Time•
The Stagger Time sets the length of the delay for the Stagger Mode.
See Pages 12 & 14 for details on these three dual gate
programming functions.
Gate Operation
Open Button
Opens the gate. If the Controller is programmed to stop
opening the gate at mid-travel, a constant press of the OPEN
button will override the Mid-travel Stop and completely open
the gate. If the Auto Close Timer is set, it will be suspended
until the OPEN button is released.
Close Button
Closes the gate if the gate is open. Also closes the gate if
the gate is in the process of opening.
Stop Button
Stops the gate from opening or closing at any time.
Single Input
Opens the gate if it’s closed and closes the gate if it’s open
(open-close programming option). Activating the input while
the gate is moving will reverse the gate.
Can be programmed to stop the gate while the gate is
moving (open-stop-close programming option).
Fire Department Input
Fully opens the gate when the input is activated. Overrides
the Mid-travel Stop and Auto Close Timer (if either is
programmed for the gate). The gate will lockout in the open
position without sounding the alarm. Press the STOP button
to release the lockout.
Open Input
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Open Obstruction
While the gate opening, any open obstruction signal will
cause the gate to stop, reverse a short distance, and then
stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and a
renewed input will be required to start the gate again. Should
the gate be restarted and the obstacle signal occur again
prior to reaching a limit, the gate will stop again, lockout,
and sound the emergency alarm.
Close Obstruction
Same as the open obstruction, but in the closing direction.
Reverse Input
If the reverse input is triggered while the gate is closing, the
gate will reverse to the full open position. If the Auto Close
Timer is set, when the reverse input is cleared, the gate will
close when the Auto Close Timer expires.
Open Loop
Functions the same as the OPEN button.
Reverse Loop
Functions the same as the reverse input.
Shadow/Reset Loop
Only used with Swing Gates. Holds the gate fully open or fully
closed while triggered. If open, the gate closes immediately
when cleared.
