Concrete Pad and Base Installation

Concrete Pad

The concrete pad for operator mounting should be approximately 10”

(255mm) x 12” (300mm) x 18” (460mm) deep in order to provide

adequate weight and structure to insure proper stable installation. Be

sure to position pad so it will not interfere with gate.

Anchors

You can use anchors that provided with the operator,

3¾ Anchor bolts (4), Anchors, Washers and Nuts this

anchors must be set in to the concrete at the time of pouring

the concrete pad or you can use wedge anchors (1/4” x 4”) to

fasten the operator.

Rack & Limit Switch Installation

Power

Connect 115Volt AC to terminals power to terminals 6 & 7 at high power side of the control board. (See

Control board diagram at page 7)

Rack

Loosen the clutch by the release key (Insert key and turn Counter Clockwise to release the clutch). Attach

the mounting bolts for the rack on the gate according to the specific position of the driving gear wheel and

make sure that the rack is horizontal. There must be a proper clearance between the gear and the rack @ 1/8”

(4mm). After installation of rack move the gate manually; make sure the gate slides smoothly.

Magnets For Limit Switch

Install the magnets for open & close position by mounting magnet

bracket to the gate. The shorter bracket is for open position and

longer bracket is for close position. The distance between the

magnet and the operator should be @ ½” (12mm) with the

operator cover on. To test the position of the magnets: Make sure

the operator clutch is disengaged (Counter turn release key clock

wise). Turn the power on (see control board information) move

the gate to open position the open position limit switch light 24

should come on, move the gate to close position the close position

limit switch light 25 should come on.

Limit Switch Connections

Terminal 1: Red wire will be connected here

Terminal 2: White wire will be connected here

Terminal 3: Green wire will be connected here

NOTE:

For left hand operation, reverse wires from terminals 1 and 3

Figure 7

Limit Switch Sensor

The limit switch sensor is divided into two parts as seen in

Figure 8.

To achieve your open limit, one of the magnets should

be mounted so that it is at the same height as Section

1 of the sensor.

To achieve your closed limit, the other magnet should be

mounted so that it is at the same height as Section 2 of the

ope

rator.

Auto Close Timer

The auto close is designed so that when the gate is opened, it can be set to automatically close after a

p

re-determined amount of time.

Please note that the operator comes set from factory to “NO”, or without automatic closure. If you

ke

ep this setting, the gate will only close after another signal from an access control such as a remote

control, push button or hardwired keypad.

To change the amount of time before the gate closes, remove the jumpers and set to desired time by

follo

wing the guidelines in the picture above.

Manual Release

Your Viper Gate System will include two keys that are used to disengage the operator from your gate in

case

of an emergency or power outage.

Turn counter-clock-wise in the slot above to disengage the operator from the gate. This will allow you

to

use the gate manually.

Figure 10

Setting the Transmitter DIP Switches:

There

are a total of eight (8) transmitter DIP switches. Each one can be placed in three (3) different positions

(+,

0, -). DO NOT set all of the switches to the same position, for example: all +, all 0 or all -. Once the

DI

P switches have been set to a personal code, replace and close the cover.

Viper Gate Systems Receiver Installation

Figure 11

The

receiver wiring to the control board will be set as follows:

Terminal 1: Red wire

Terminal 2: Black Wire

Terminal 3: White Wire

Terminal 4: White and Yellow Wire

Terminal 5: Yellow Wire

Your remotes are set from factory to use Channel 1 (the yellow button in Figure 9), to open and close the

gate, and Channel 2 (the blue button in Figure 9) is to set to control an exterior light.

If you are using a wireless, Multi-Code compatible keypad, please note that you must switch the wires

from Terminals 3 and 5. This will allow the wireless keypad to open and close the gate, but it will

reverse

the factory settings for your remote transmitters channels. Now you must use Channel 2 (the

b

lue button) to open and close the gate, and Channel 1(the yellow button) to control the exterior light if

ap

plicable.
