USING THE AGC-4P PERSONAL GATE CONTROLLER
(Air Cylinder/Magnet Version)
- Wire the system as shown in the "AGC-4P SYSTEM WIRING
DIAGRAM" shown below. Connect the power cord of the main unit
(AGC-4P) to a 120 VAC outlet.
- Locate the Light Stand (Optional) in a visible position in front of
the gate. Position the Stop Watch Timer Foot Switch (Optional) across the
path of the bicycle at a suitable distance from the gate (for best results
the switch can be mounted to a larger board).
- For the first race, turn on 120 VAC power. To activate the GATE
output, push the start button. The unit will beep five times then raise
the gate. For subsequent races the start switch alternates between being a
Raise Gate Switch and a Start Staging sequence switch.
- Use the Start switch to start the staging
sequence. Pushing the switch will start the sequence. There is an optional
5-second delay to allow the rider to get set on the bicycle. If the delay
is active there is a short beep to tell you that the delay has begun. The
staging sequence will follow the delay and when the Green light turns on,
the gate will drop and the timer will start. When the bicycle tire travels
over the Foot switch, the timer will stop. The 5-second delay is controlled by switch 2 on the front panel.
- Repeat items 3 and 4 as long as desired.
Note: The magnet output goes
on automatically, however the Staging Sequence must follow the above procedure.
The StopWatch
timer will switch from 0.01-second resolution to 0.1-second resolution at 19.99
seconds, rolling over to 20.0 seconds. The timer will stop counting at 199.9
seconds. If the timer is allowed to continue counting, the display will not
reset when a new sequence is started. To enable a reset, the timer must be
stopped by either activating the Foot switch or unplugging the timer module.
The timer is reset on the Red light in the staging sequence.
Switch 1 is the ABA/NBL switch.
Switch 3 is used in conjunction with the NBL switch for “Random Gate” or “Regular
Gate” (Old NBL).
