  • Page 4 The amount of power that the circuit board will deliver can be adjusted for both directions of travel to accommodate the various gate weights that the AGS 3000 operator is recommended for. (See Applications Pg. 3)

  • Page 5: Features

    Features OPERATION The AGS 3000 Full Systems Capability can operate in a AUTO CLOSE TIMER (TIMER ON) or a PUSH-TO-OPEN/PUSH-TO-CLOSE (TIMER OFF) mode of operation. In the AUTO CLOSE TIMER mode of operation the operator is given a command to open the gate and hold it open until the input is released and until the auto close timer has elapsed at which point the operator will close the gate automatically.

  • Page 8: Installation

    Installation INSPECT PACKAGING Remove the gate operator from it's package and make sure that all parts are included. Refer to General Information and Parts Identification. If any parts appear to be missing, contact a dealer. Temporarily plug the operator into 115 Volt outlet or extension cord.
  • Page 9 Installation continued... GATE PREPERATION Disconnect Power from the gate operator! The tail end of the gate should extend approximately 24" beyond the edge of the driveway. If this is not the case, an extension tail will need to be added to the gate.
  • Page 10 Installation Continued... POSITION GATE OPERATOR If the steel mounting stand was used, simply bolt the gate operator to the stand. If the operator will be mounted to a concrete surface or pad, place the shortest edge of the operator 4" away from the edge of the driveway.
  • Page 11 Installation Continued... ATTACH CHAIN TO GATE Attach the gate bracket to the gate as shown using the round or square u-bolts for round or square gate frames respectively. Attach the chain to the gate brackets using the chain bolt and master link as shown. If necessary, the chain may be easily short- ened using a chain breaker.

  • Page 12: Alternate Installation

    Alternate Installations REAR MOUNT PLACEMENT The rear mount installation is an excellent way to conceal the chain or opera- tor. The operator is placed in the extreme rear of the gate as shown and the chain never goes across the driveway. The chain only goes from the gate operator to a post or wall beside the driveway.

  • Page 13: Electrical

    Electrical CONDUIT ROUTING Make sure that power is OFF before making any electrical connec- tions! Be sure that all wiring is employed as required by local codes. The operator is provided with two knockout holes on each side. Run 1/2" liquidtite flexible conduit through one of the four knockout holes and into the handy box where the receptacle is located.
  • Page 14 Electrical Continued... BATTERY BACK-UP If the gate operator is already factory equipped with battery back-up, only the Right/Left Side switch and the Mode switch need to be set. The Right/Left switch simply needs to be set in the same position as the Right/Left switch on the main control board.
  • Page 15 Electrical Continued... OPEN INPUT: Any device that is used to open the gate from a closed position is an open input device. The device used must provide normally open contacts. These normally open contacts are connected to terminals 5 and 6. These open input terminals will cause the gate operator to open and/or close if the timer switch is in the OFF position.
  • Page 16 Wiring Diagrams, Button Controls One button, two button and three button controls may be board. Connect the Close button NO terminal of the push button control to Close connected individually or together as shown below. Most button (terminal 10) on the gate operator control board. If the stop button has normally controls have a common "buss bar"...

  • Page 17: Fine Tuning

    Fine Tuning ADJUST TIMER The gate operator is designed to work differently while opening then while closing to optimize safety, so the direction of the operator will need to be set. Setting the operator direction is done by flipping the right/ left side switch located at the top of the circuit board.
  • Page 18 AGS 3000 MASTER/SLAVE Connect 115 Volts AC to each AGS 3000 gate operator. Connect the six Master/Slave wires from the master circuit board to the slave circuit board as shown below. Any operator can be used as either a master or a slave. All accessories will be connected to the master operator so the decision of which operator will be the master and which operator will be the slave is a matter of convenience.

  • Page 21: Safety Edge And Warning Placards

    Safety Edge and Warning Placard Installation See reversing edge sensor instructions for the exact placement of the reversing edge contact sensors. One or more safety edge contact sensors shall be located at the leading edge, trailing edge, and post mounted both inside and outside of a vehicular horizontal slide gate.

  • Page 22: Options

    Options For rear mount installation that are limited on space for the gate to slide back into, the space saver version is an excellent alternative. There may be a property wall, parking stall or other obstacle that reduces the amount of space available, making it difficult to mount the gate operator and still have room for the gate to slide.

  • Page 24: Maintenance And Safety

    Maintenance and Safety The AGS 3000 is designed to be MAINTENANCE FREE. However, for optimum performance and safety, the following maintenance procedures should taken. Gate Sensitivity Adjustments The most important thing to maintain on any gate is the safety equipment. As the gate becomes older the amount of force necessary to move the gate will vary.

  • Page 25: Trouble Shooting

    Trouble Shooting EXPLANATION OF VISUAL FEEDBACK LED's The AGS 3000 Full Systems Capability circuit board has been equipped with Visual Feedback LED's to simplify installation and troubleshooting. These are small lights which are located directly beside the input terminals. These LED's give visual information to the installer or service technician indicating what commands are going into the circuit board from devices such as limit switches or from peripheral devices such as radio receivers or safety loops.
  • Page 26 Trouble Shooting GATE WILL NOT OPEN OR CLOSE Test the operator to find out whether the open input devices are functioning by following these steps. If a remote control is being used to open the gate, try another remote control or try using a push button if there is one installed. If a push button is being used try using another push button or a remote control.
  • Page 27 Notes Other Commonly Used Open and Safety Deivices Be sure to read this entire manual before attempting to perform any type of installation or service to the gate opener. Once the installation has been completed, this installa- tion and service manual becomes the property of the home owner or end user and should be given to the new owner at that time.
  • Page 28 WARNING To reduce the risk of injury to persons- use this operator only with a sliding gate that is not larger than 40 feet (12.2 m) in length and not heavier than 1,500 pounds (680 kg). Copyright © 2001 AGS pg 28...
