CONTROL BOARD SETUP
Obstruction Sensor (Primary Entrapment Protection)
!
IMPORTANT:
The appropriate “ODS” setting is dependant upon the gate installation and construction. Set this feature accordingly. Additional Safety equipment should be used to reduce possible risk of injury or vehicle damage.
“ODS” Obstruction Detection Sensor
The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions in the path of the traveling gate. The dial sets the amount of force required to activate the operators inherent obstruction detection.
Setting the dial to “0” will require the least amount of force to activate;
Setting the dial to “100” will require the maximum amount of force to activate.
UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to go off after two consecutive entrapment events sensed by the
Inherent Entrapment Protection of the
Gate Operator.
The audio alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until a Stop command or the “Alarm Reset” switch has been actuated. (refer to page 12)
When the Obstruction Sensor detects an obstruction it will:
1. Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it momentarily.
2. Bring the gate to a resting position.
3. Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the Gate Operator receives a new command.
If second obstruction is detected before the gate reaches either limit it will:
1. Stop the gate’s movement.
2. Disable the Gate Operator.
3. Sound the UL Alarm
4. A STOP command must be provided to disable the alarm and continue operation.
!
TECHNICAL TIP:
The Status LED for the
“ODS” will indicate the following when it has been triggered.
A. Solid: Obstruction.
Detected a sudden or abrupt increase in gate resistance.
B. Flashing: Overload.
Detected a more subtle, but sustained increase in gate resistance.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
Re-Open Photo Beam (vehicular Safety)
NOTE:
This type of photo-beam installation will stop then RE-OPEN the gate all the way to the open limit, when the beam is obstructed. Intended for vehicular safety ONLY. For the purpose of pedestrian entrapment, see pages 10-11.
Note regarding Photo Beam types:
Fail-Safe type - connect the “N.C.” terminal of the photo beam to the
“Re-Open” terminal on the control board.
Typically, these are the reflective type photo beams.
Fail -Secure type - connect the “N.O.” terminal of the photo beam to the
“Re-Open” terminal on the control board.
Typically, these are the transmitter/ receiver type photo beams.
Check for proper operation:
The “Re-Open” LED will illuminate solid while the beam is obstructed and remain off when the beam is unobstructed.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
Radio Receiver (Typical)
!
IMPORTANT:
The Hold Open “Timer” setting (page 20) affects how the gate will respond to the radio receiver command.
The control board provides two modes of operation that a radio receiver can control the gate:
Open-Stop-Close
1. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open
Timer OFF (see page 20):
Every command of the radio transmitter will control the gate as follows: a. First command opens the gate, b. Second command stops the gate and c. Third command closes the gate d. Any subsequent commands will continue in the same order to control the gate.
This type of configuration is not recommended for commercial installations.
Open Only
2. By having the radio receiver connected as illustrated and with the Hold Open
Timer ON (see page 20):
Each command of the radio transmitter is
ALWAYS AN OPEN COMMAND
to the gate.
For maximum reception range:
Locate the radio antenna to the top of the gate column.

ACCESSORY CONNECTIONS
Guidelines for Loop Installation
1. Prevent sharp corners in the geometry of the loop sensor.
2. Install the appropriate number of turns for your loop geometry based on the loop perimeter. Use Table C (below) as a guide.
3. Use XLP (cross-linked-polyethylene) type of wire. This wire reduces the effects of moisture and other environmental events in altering the functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
4. Twist the lead wire at least 6 turns per foot.
5. Use BACKER-ROD to minimize damage to the loop detector wire prior to using the sealant.
6. Place the loop detector wire and adjust the sensitivity of the vehicular loop detector unit in a way to minimize the effects of the gate over the loop detector wire.
!
IMPORTANT!
Some of the following parameters may affect the proper functionality of the vehicular loop detector.
Consult the manufacturer of the vehicular loop detector and/or loop wire.
• Gate size
• Number of turns in the loop sensor wire
• Distance of the loop sensor wire to the gate at either at the open or close position

Relays In General
NOTE:
Viking Access Systems does not provide the external safety devices and access controls. These items can be purchases from your dealer or distributor.
In General
In regards to the Viking control board, all external safety devices and access controls contain, and are, simple relays that provide an input to the Viking control board when the device is activated.
When these devices are activated, their internal relays create a contact, or short, between the “C” and “N.O.” terminals. This contact is what provides the command to the Viking control board.
!
TECHNICAL TIP:
Viking uses the
Normally Open “N.O.” contact from the device, excluding “fail-safe” type photo beams. In such instances, the Normally
Closed “N.C.” will be used instead.
