CONTROL BOARD

CONNECTIONS

1. Mount NIR-50-325 at desired location within

6 feet of the control box (do not mount reflector yet).

2. Wire the photoeye cable to the 1050 control board as shown at right.

3. Adjust sensivity on top of unit to maximum (FIGURE 1-2). Decrease sensitivity later if there are too many false trips preventing reliable gate operation.

4. Apply power to the gate operator.

5. Program the 1050 control board as follows (FIGURE 1-1): a) Press the Functions button.

b) Press Down button eight times until “9. Adv. Settings” menu is displayed and press OK button.

c) Press Down button nine times until “UL Input” menu is displayed and press OK button.

d) Press Up/Down buttons to select “Analog” and press OK button.

e) Use Up/Down to select “Open” (open direction) or “Close” (close direction) and press OK .

DISPLAY: OR f) Press Learn button, then select slide or swing, then select light, medium, or heavy. Board will scan for sensor and then open and close gate during learn cycle. If board displays F1 error, refer to troubleshooting table. Board will not operate without at least one active entrapment sensor connected.

INSTALLATION AND PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS

6. Hold reflector 3 feet in front of photoeye lens and verify both red and yellow LEDs on photoeye

(FIGURE 1-2) light up. While moving backward to the reflector mounting location, ensure the reflector is continually aligned (red and yellow LEDs on). Move reflector up, down, left or right to keep reflector in center of the signal path.

NOTES: Signal pattern is 2 feet in diameter.

7. Verify the NIR-50-325 and reflector are in line of sight, confirm the red LED and yellow LED are ON

(indicating correct alignment), then mount reflector in ideal position.

8. Block the beam with your hand, or another object, and ensure the sensor’s yellow and red LEDs turn off.

Check the operator control board input LED (FIGURE 1-1) and verify that the UL/Edge input is properly actuated. When the beam is not blocked, the red input LED will be dimly lit and when blocked, it will be brighter.

9. Unblock the beam and the photoeye yellow and red LEDs should light at full brightness.

CAUTION!

Passing vehicles may act as a reflector and cause a false reading allowing a gate to close on a vehicle. Nice/HySecurity assumes no responsibility in these cases, and all risk falls to the installer, designer, and users of the gate system.
