Swing gate operator control board SWRG110

The SWRG110 is a universal swing gate operator control board designed to manage the operation of AC (Alternating Current) powered swing gate motors. It's essentially the "brain" of a swing gate automation system, responsible for controlling the gate's movement, safety features, and integration with various accessories. It's often marketed as a replacement or upgrade board due to its broad compatibility with different AC swing gate openers, particularly those operating at 110V or 220V.   Key Features and Functionality The SWRG110, as a universal control board, typically offers a range of features for efficient and safe gate operation:

• Motor Control: It manages the power supply and direction of one or two AC gate motors, allowing for opening and closing cycles. It can be used for both single and double swing gates.
• Soft Start/Stop: This feature ensures a smooth and gradual acceleration and deceleration of the gate, reducing wear and tear on the motor and mechanical components, and providing quieter operation.
• Obstacle Detection: A crucial safety feature, obstacle detection allows the gate to stop or reverse if it encounters an obstruction during its movement, preventing damage to the gate, vehicle, or injury to people or pets. This is often achieved through current sensing or external safety sensors like photocells.
• Automatic Close: This function allows the gate to automatically close after a set period of time, enhancing security and convenience.
• Limit Switches: The board interfaces with limit switches (often magnetic or mechanical) to define the full open and full closed positions of the gate, ensuring precise stopping.
• Remote Control Learning: It typically has a learning function to pair with wireless remote controls, allowing users to open and close the gate from a distance.
• Accessory Interfaces: The SWRG110 provides terminals for connecting various gate accessories, such as:
  • Photocells/Infrared Sensors: For enhanced safety and obstacle detection.
  • Warning Lights: To signal gate movement.
  • Keypads/Intercoms: For controlled access.
  • GSM Modules/Phone APP integration: Some versions may offer connectivity for remote control via smartphone.
  • Wall Buttons: For manual operation from inside the property.
  • Exit Wands/Vehicle Sensors: To automatically open the gate for exiting vehicles.
• Adjustable Settings: Many control boards like the SWRG110 offer adjustable parameters, such as:
  • Motor power/force (especially for obstacle detection sensitivity).
  • Slowdown speed.
  • Automatic close timer.
  • Working time for each motor.
• Diagnostic Display: Some models include an LED or LCD display for easier setup, programming, and troubleshooting of errors.

  Compatibility and Installation The SWRG110 is designed to be universal, meaning it's not tied to a single brand of gate opener. However, it's primarily compatible with:

• AC Powered Motors: Specifically, 110V or 220V AC swing gate motors. It's not compatible with DC (12V or 24V) motors.
• Various Gate Opener Models: It can replace control boards in numerous existing swing gate openers, such as some ALEKO and Lockmaster models.

Installation typically involves:

1. Power Disconnection: Safely disconnecting power to the gate opener.
2. Wiring: Connecting the motor, power supply, and accessories to the appropriate terminals on the SWRG110 board. Understanding terminal functions is crucial for correct wiring.
3. Programming: Learning remote controls and adjusting settings (e.g., limit switch calibration, auto-close time) according to the specific gate and desired operation.

Note: Due to the electrical nature of gate operators and the importance of safety features, professional installation is often recommended to ensure correct wiring, programming, and compliance with safety standards (e.g., UL325 in North America).
