AUTOMATIC GATE OPENER • Installation Manual28Push-to-Open Open Limit SettingStep 1Turn the power ON to energize the system.Step 2Make sure both gates are in the fully closed position.Press the transmitter button and the gates will begin toopen. Be prepared to stop the gates when the desiredlimit has been reached by the first gate opener(actuator) that opens first.Step 3If Opener 2 was the first gate to open, set Dual ModeDIP switch 4 to the ON position. If Opener 1 was thefirst gate to open, set Dual Mode DIP switch 4 to theOFF position. Then press and hold the SET LIMIT buttonfor two seconds (fig. 42). The STATUS light will turn onmomentarilly, then turn off.Step 4Press the button of the transmitter and the gates shouldmove to the fully closed position. The open position isnow set for the opener that opened first.Step 5Now press the transmitter button again. Your gatesshould begin to open. The opener that opens first willstop at the open limit position you programmed in theprevious steps. The other gate will continue to openuntil you press the transmitter button again.Step 6If Opener 2 was the second gate to open, set DualMode DIP switch 4 to the ON position. If Opener 1 wasthe second gate to open, set Dual Mode DIP switch 4 tothe OFF position. Then press and hold the SET LIMITbutton for two seconds. The STATUS light will turn onmomentarilly, then turn off.Step 7Using the handheld transmitter return the gates to thefully closed position. Both gates’ opened position stopsare now set.Figure 42Step 8Again, using the handheld transmitter open the gates toverify they meet the desired location. Note: If the gatesdid NOT reach the desired limit proceed to Step 9.Step 9Clearing the open limit setting for Opener 1:a) Return the gate to the fully closed position.b) Set Dual Mode DIP switch 4 to the OFF position.c) Press and hold the SET LIMIT button for five sec-onds. When the green STATUS light comes on, theopen limit setting has been reset to factorydefaults.Clearing the open limit setting for Opener 2:a) Return the gate to the fully closed position.b) Set Dual Mode DIP switch 4 to the ON position.c) Press and hold the SET LIMIT button for five sec-onds. When the green STATUS light comes on, theopen limit setting has been reset to factorydefaults.Automatic Close Time AdjustmentStep 1There are five different automatic close time adjust-ments available (refer to fig. 37, on page 25, for details).To turn the automatic close time adjustment off, placeauto-close DIP switch in OFF position.Step 2To set the timer to close automatically after the gate hasbeen opened, set the DIP switches according to thetable on page 25.Obstruction Sensitivity Set UpIMPORTANT: For safety reasons the obstruction settingor stall force on the Zareba Automatic Gate Openercontrol board comes from the factory set at minimum,turned all the way counter-clockwise. In many gateinstallations, this setting will need to be adjusted toovercome the weight and size of the gates.The stall force potentiometer on the circuit board con-trols the obstruction sensitivity (or the amount of forcethe opener will apply to an obstruction) before it auto-matically stops and reverses direction of the gate afterapproximately two seconds. Adjust the sensitivitybeginning at the factory default counter-clockwise posi-tion (fig. 43). Continue to incrementally increase theforce until the gate can open and close withoutobstructing under its own weight.
