2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. This operator has been developed in order to make installation, commissioning and gate operation as simple
and hassle free as possible without detracting from the quality that has always been the trademark of the GDS range of
operators.
Apart from the upgrade of inverter control to the Prostar unit the traditional limit switch type of system
which initiates the ramp down time period then stopping of the gate at the end has been changed to suit a wider range
of gate sizes without having to change chain drive sprocket sizes or limit gear ratios to match.
The chain driven cam switches are connected to initiate a second slow or homing speed which then at that
slow speed, the gate is allowed to drive into the post/mechanical stop smoothly, then after a programmed time delay,
the inverter detects a rise in current and signals the CB-6 board to stop that cycle of operation. With this method of
control, apart from the advantages over traditional limits described above, there is a more gentle or controlled stop
allowing easier aligning of electric gate contact switches, electric locks etc, and with no physical limit switches,
adjustment of the gates final stopping position will never need adjusting as long as the mechanical gate stops used are
adequate for the gate. Also, as long as the gate rack at operator drive pinion are in good order and adjusted correctly
with normal recommended maintenance, the slow down area shouldn’t need adjusting. Even if the rack does get out
of adjustment with the drive pinion, there will be a certain amount of room for error through the adequate adjustment
of the slow down area before the gate reaches the mechanical stop. Even if the gate ends up hitting the mechanical
stop at full speed either the inverter will detect the sudden current rise and cut power to the motor in turn displaying a
fault code on its display, and the clutch will slip.
The Prostar inverter has an advanced function parameter list with a detailed list of monitoring display
functions for both the operation of the inverter and status of the inputs to the inverter also with logging of the last 3
faults and recording of the operating conditions of the inverter at the first fault, taking some of the guess work out of
fault finding on site.
3. INSTALLATION DETAILS
Mechanical installation
• Ensure gate rolls easily and has been installed in a manner where there is no excessive friction or binding
occurring.
• IMPORTANT ensure there are gate stops firmly installed in the fully open and closed positions. These stops
need to be engineered and installed such that they will be strong enough to stop the gate should the limits fail at
any time.
• A concrete base approximately 650mm long x350 wide x 300mm deep should be laid where the gate operator is to
be located.
• Position operator in approximate mounting location.
• Use a section of rack to locate the operator the correct distance away from the gate rail (finer adjustment can be
made after).
• Dynabolt or chemical anchor the bottom mounting plate to the concrete mounting pad using 12 x 100mm fixings
through the slotted mounting holes.
• Unscrew anticlockwise the manual disconnect knurled knob so the drive gear free wheels.
• Fix the rack to the gate rail ensuring there is approximately 1mm - 2mm gap between the meshing of the teeth of
the rack and the drive gear (no more). Move the gate by hand from one end to the other while checking that the
rack is meshing correctly with the drive gear on the operator. Check also that the rack is centred around the middle
of the teeth on the drive cog – tighten the mounting plate nuts.

WIRING REQUIREMENTS
• 240v 10A non earth leakage protected power supply where operator is mounted. • Extra low voltage cables from operator to field equipment such as photo cells, access control etc, should be
shielded type cable if cable length is over 8m and especially if wiring runs directly next to high voltage cabling such
as mains power.
Electrical Cabling • A suitably rated Isolator and 240v power supply should be available near to where the gate operator is to be
mounted. The following diagrams will provide measurements for the positioning of conduits and the appropriate
position for mounting the operator whether a GDS 450 W or a GDS 630 W.
Electrical Connections • Connect a non earth leakage protected 10A 240v supply to Din Rail terminals labelled A & N, Connect earth to the
earth Din Rail terminal.
• Conduits for power & control need to preferably come up through the base plate 'knockout'.
Connections to Control Board • All control wiring associated with the inverter and low speed switching has been installed.
• Any external field wiring for photo cells, access control, locking etc will have to be connected to the appropriate
inputs and outputs on CB-6 board.

Control Inputs The P.E, OPN and STP inputs require a normally closed switch contact and therefore should be shorted to the COM
terminal if not used. This is done via bridging links already on the circuit board (bottom left corner) The CLS, OSC
and PED inputs require a normally open switch contact and therefore should be left unconnected if not used. All the
switch inputs of this control board including the limit switch inputs require a switch contact only. Do not connect any
switches which provide a voltage to the control board as this will damage the control board. If the desired inputs are
12/24v or has long wiring associated with it use an IM-1 module to isolate it from the control board’s input. The IM-1
is available from the manufacturer.
Powering Accessories Accessories which require a 24v AC supply can be powered from the transformer output used to power the control
board via the isolated 24v AC supply which is connected to the DIN rail terminals as labelled. However, the
transformer’s current capacity must be checked to allow for the extra power required by the accessories. Never use the
supply connected to the 24v AC supply control board terminals to power any accessory as this can interfere with the
control boards operation. (Blue Wires)
Locks & Lights Use the lock output terminals on the din rail to switch the 12 volts to an electric lock (if fitted). The load switched by
the lock output terminals must not exceed 30V A.C / D.C @ 5Amps. If an electromagnetic lock is used, change one
wire on the control board lock output to the normally closed output. Use the light relay module (if fitted) to switch the
applied voltage to a light. The load switched by the light relay module must not exceed 240V A.C / 30V D.C @ 10
Amps.
Mode Selection Using the mode selection dip-switches select the desired operating modes. Note the times associated with the
parameters marked with an * can be changed. The auto-close times can be changed using the procedure in the
following section. See the instruction manual for details on how to change the other parameters.
See the detailed instruction manual for details on how to change the other parameters.

ON - Selects auto-close in the pedestrian access mode. (Auto-close delay time is 15
seconds*)
Position 10 STANDARD AUTO-CLS
OFF - Not selected
ON - Selects standard auto-close mode which will close the motors after fully opening.
(Auto-close delay time is 30 seconds*)
Setting Cycle Timers & Auto Close Times The control board has pre-set cycle times which are used to set the maximum time the controller will drive the motors
in the open and closed directions. The pre-programmed time for the open and close cycle timer’s is 60 seconds. The
control board also has a pre-set pedestrian access time of 5 seconds which is intended to open the motor connected to
M1 output only part way. If these default times do not suit your needs simply use the procedure below to adjust them.
Note the same procedure can be used to adjust the auto-close times.
1. Place the slide switch into the “set” position
2. Adjust the timer’s value by pressing and holding the required push button for the desired time.
3. Repeat step 2 for the next timer (if desired).
4. Place the slide switch back into the “RUN” position.
5. Test operation.
Make sure that the slide switch is placed back into the “RUN” position before testing the new timer value.
As you can see the procedure used to set each timer’s value is the same only the push button used changes. Each push
button is clearly labelled underneath as to which timer’s value it sets. Note when setting the OPEN, CLOSE and
PEDESTRIAN cycle times the controller will drive the motors as if a “real” cycle is being executed. The difference
being that the motors will stop as soon as the button is released or the limit switches are reached. The OPN status LED
on the control board will flash at 1 second intervals to assist setting times. Note when setting the OPEN and CLOSE
cycle times when limit switches are used, release the push button a few seconds after the limit switch cuts motor
power. This allows for the motors to slow down over the life of the operators without the need to adjust again.
4. VARIABLE SPEED DRIVE UNIT (INVERTER) • The variable speed drive unit will, ramp up the speed of the operator and then ramp down prior to closing.
• It must be remembered that the limit switches are to be set in a position which initiates the slow speed area time,
therefore the limit switches need to operate much sooner than when there is no variable speed drive unit.
• The acceleration and deceleration times, open and close speed and slow speed area times have been set in the
factory for the normal installation but can be changed if necessary. Similarly, the speed that the gate operates at
has also been set but can be changed (up to max 70Hz).
• The gate stop current trip margin can be changed if required on a larger gate.
• For full details on VSD please refer to the Prostar PR 6000 series manual.

6. Commissioning
• From the factory, the operator is set up so that the gate opens up from right to left when looking at it from inside
the property, so that the operator is mounted on the left hand side of the driveway. The slow down switches are
set up so that the top switch controls the open slow speed, and the bottom switch operates the close slow speed, it
is important that they remain set up this way. If the gate operator is to be installed as a right hand open, the
switch cams will have to be turned around so they approach the micro switches from the other direction.
The open and close slow speed relays have a green indication LED. When an LED turns OFF, this is an indication that the slow speed switch has been activated. Taking note of this indication will tell you that the
correct slow speed direction has been selected for the correct gate direction.
• Adjust the slow speed switches so that they activate at approx 800mm from the full open and close positions.
Finer adjustment can be made once the gate is running.
• Manually push the gate to the half way position, and turn the clutch wheel clockwise to engage the clutch, tighten
it just enough so as it will drive the gate, but will slip if the gate hits something at full speed while
commissioning. (make sure to tighten it fully once commissioning is complete).
• If safe to do so, turn on power. (Use of a portable generator is forbidden as damage to inverter may result
from use).
• Check the gate drives in the right direction by pressing the either the opn,or cls buttons, either the opn or cls led`s will start to flash indicating that the gate is moving in the open or close direction. If the gate is
moving backwards, turn off the power to the operator, wait for the inverter power to drop out, then swap
any two of the motor phase wires at the inverter. Then move the slow speed cam lobs around to the opposite
sides of the slow speed switches, making sure that the top switch is for the open slow speed and the bottom
switch is for the close slow speed, taking note of the status of the slow speed open and close slow speed relay led
indicators.
• Once satisfied that the gate is travelling in the right direction, drive the gate fully open and closed to check if the
slow speed switches are set correctly.
• The slow speed switches should not activate too soon, but more importantly, not too late. In this way the gate
will have plenty of time to ramp down to the more controlled slow speed ready to be driven into the post and not
to bang into the post which will cause the clutch to slip, pre- maturely wearing the clutch friction discs.
• Now set the motor run time by first driving the gate to the closed position, turn the run/set switch into set, press
and hold the opn button to drive the gate fully open, once it reaches the full open position, keep the button
pressed for a further 5 seconds, then release. Do the same again for the close direction via the cls button, once
finished, turn the run/set switch back to run.
• Tighten clutch wheel.
• Test photo cell operation and any other safety device is operating correctly.
• Install cover using screws provided in the front and sides to hold cover firm.
• Provide full details to the owner concerning the operation and relevant maintenance and disconnect details.
