4). PH-1 Photocells: Please remove the cover of JP1 and connect the wires to proper terminals.

5). PKS-1 Key Selector:

For Single leaf operation-Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the two wires from the key selector to the terminal
BUTT1 and GND (J7) on the PCB.
For Dual leaf operation-Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the two wires from the key selector to the terminal
BUTT2 and GND (J7) on the PCB.

6). PPB-1 Push Button:

For Single leaf operation-Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the two wires from the key selector to the terminal
BUTT1 and GND (J7) on the PCB.
For Dual leaf operation-Refer to Figure 1(4) and connect the two wires from the key selector to the terminal
BUTT2 and GND (J7) on the PCB.

7). JP2 Jumper Socket: If there is any external device connecting to stop/GND/close/open terminals on the PCBA,
please remove JP2 cover to make the device effective.

VR1 Close delay of two leaves can be adjusted from min 0 second to Max. 7 second.
VR2 The over-current sensitivity of Master Gate (M1) could be adjusted from 1.8 second to 3.8 second.
VR3 The over-current sensitivity of Master Gate (M2) could be adjusted from 1.8 second to 3.8 second.
VR4 Over-current limit can be adjusted from min 0.8Amp to Max 4.2 Amp.
LED1 (Red) LED1 is ON when AC input is in. And LED1 blinks quickly when the gate is in slow-down speed.
LED2 (Yellow) When the photocells are triggered, LED2 will be on.
LED3 (Green) When the transmitter/push button/key selector is triggered, LED3 will be on.
Notes:
1. VR1,VR2,VR3 will be adjusted to 10 o’clock direction as the factory default.
2. VR4 will be adjusted to 2 o’clock direction as the factory default.

2.3 Transmitter Memorizing and Erasing Process

RF Transmitter Memorizing & Erasing
2.3.1 Press button SW2 for 1 second, the blue LED light on the receiver board will be on and receiver module
will be changed to “Learning Mode” for 10 seconds. During the period of learning mode, press the left
button on the transmitter, then the transmitter can be memorized by receiver module. (Up to 200 different
transmitter can be memorized) The blue light on the receiver board will blink twice after pressing the
button on the transmitter. The blue light on the receiver board will go off when the transmitter memorizing
is done.

2.3.2 The memory can be cleared completely if the SW2 (code learning) is pressed continuously for 10 seconds
after the blue light.

Self-Learning mode for gate operation systems

Step1: Connect the wires of two motors with terminal M1+/M1- & M2+/M2-
Step2: Connect 230VAC with terminal J1 and battery with J2.
Setp3: In single leaf installation, just connect the motor wires with terminal M1+/M1-
Step4: Press SW2 button for more than 1 second and the blue light on the receiver board is on. Press the left button
on the transmitter to memorize the transmitter with the receiver board. The blue light will be off after the
transmitter memorizing is done.
Step5: In Single or Dual leaf installation, please press the left button of the remote control for system learning. After
pressing the left button, system learning will be executed step by step as follows:
1. Dual Gate:
Slave Gate Close → Master Gate Close → Master Gate Open → Slave Gate Open → Slave Gate Close
→ Master Gate Close
2. Single Mode :
Master Gate Close → Master Gate Open → Master Gate Close
Step 6: If motor stops during the learning mode, please adjust the over current switch to proper position.

2.4 System Learning Process

Connect the master motor wires to M1 terminals and the slave motor wires to M2 terminals correctly. If only one
gate is installed, the motor wires have to be connected to M1 terminals.
In system learning mode, the gates will proceed with the following procedures.

(A) Dual-Gate Mode: Slave Gate closes→ Master Gate closes→ Master Gate opens →Slave Gate opens →
Slave Gate closes→ Master Gate closes.
(B) Single-Gate Mode: Master Gate closes→ Master Gate opens→ Master Gate closes.

Notes: System learning fails and needs to be learned again when an unpredictable interruption occurs.

2.6 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.
