AGP-1700 / INTRODUCTION 1 - 1

Chapter 1: INTRODUCTION

The Amano Cincinnati, Inc. AGP-1700 Series Parking Gate is designed to meet allforms of automatic control requirements found in parking facilities all over the globe.The gate housing is constructed of durable heavy gauge steel and shock resistantpolyethylene for long life. The housing is designed so that the pedestal base can berotated in 90° increments independently of the drive mechanism. This way, theremovable access door can be located where it best suits the installation. Thefootprint of the AGP-1700 is designed to accommodate direct replacement of manyother gates.

The gate arm can be easily replaced in the event of damage. A folding gate arm canbe used in locations where low ceiling height prevents operation of standard arms.

The AGP-1700 gate includes an extra sensory feature. If the descending gate armstrikes an object in its descent, this feature will immediately raise the gate arm.

Note: The AGP-1700 series gate is for automotive traffic only. Allow no motorcyclesor pedestrians.

Chapter 3: INSTALLATIONBefore You Begin

After the AGP-1700 gate has been received, confirm that all parts are included. EachAGP-1700 is shipped in a single container which includes an envelope containingkeys and this Installation and Operations Manual. Notify Amano Cincinnati if anyitems are missing. Check the carton for shipping damage. If anything is damaged,notify the transportation company and file a claim. The transportation company isresponsible for the shipment after it leaves the factory.

The AGP-1700 must be installed according to the instructions described in thismanual. Failure to install the unit properly may result in voiding the warranty for repairor replacement of the unit.

Mounting

Check the location of the installed conduits and anchor bolts against the bolt layoutdrawing shown below. Make sure the conduits do not extend over 2” (5 cm) high.Conduits over 2” (5 cm) high will cause damage to components inside the gatepedestal.

Two additional sets of mounting holes are provided so the AGP-1700 can replaceother gates without changing the existing mounting holes. The AGP-1700 directlyreplaces the: APE/CPE G89, FED. G89, FED. G90, ATG-820, and the ATF-700. TheAGP-1700 replaces the 400 & 800 model gates with the use of a galvanized base.

Note: For safety reasons, the gate must be mounted in such a way that the back endof the gate arm is at least 2’ (30 cm) away from any obstruction.

Field Wiring Terminal Blocks

To the left side of TB1 is a description of each connection. When connecting Inputs,use TB1 for positive (+) connections and TB2 for negative (-) connections. Anyconnection symbol that appears as a dashed line delineates the necessity of anadditional “daughter board” in the control box (Optional KIT-10). See Chapter 4: GATECONTROL MODES for more detailed information. TB3 provides a (+) 12VDC powersource and (-) return to be used as needed for loop detectors and other peripherals.The AGP-1700 is pre-wired for the installation of a loop detector. See Vehicle LoopDetector Installation on page 3-7.

Figure 3 - 5, Field Wiring Terminal Blocks


Field Wiring Connections

Figure 3 - 6, AGP-1700 Connections to an ETP-12/22


Vehicle Loop Detector Installation

The AGP-1700 gate provides for the mounting of up to 3 separate vehicle loopdetectors on a DIN rail. See Figure 3-7 below. A socket and wiring harness is providedfor one AGP-0134 single loop 12VDC detector or one AGP-0234 dual loop 12 VDCdetector. (Detectors are sold separately.) The installation of more than one detectorrequires additional wiring as well. Detector socket and harness kits are available fromAmano Cincinnati, Inc.

Loop A coil connections are made at terminals 9 & 10 of the detector socket. Likewise,Loop C coil connections are made at terminals 7 & 8. To install an AGP Vehicle LoopDetector, simply plug it into the detector socket. The socket and detector are bothkeyed to ensure a proper connection.

Remote Gate Operation

The AGP-1700 series gate can be wired for two types of remote operation.

In scenario #1, a remote N/O momentary switch, such as a push button, is used toopen the gate. The switch is connected to TB1-1 (+) and TB2-1 (-) Transient OpenInputs. When the switch is activated, an open pulse will raise the gate arm. The gatewill close after a vehicle passes over the closing loop (Loop C). A Pay Direction Countwill be issued.

In scenario #2, a three-way N/O (non-momentary - off - momentary) switch, such asa toggle switch, is used to open and close the gate. The non-momentary contacts areconnected to TB1-1 (+) and TB2-1 (-) Transient Open Inputs. The momentarycontacts are connected to TB1-3 (+) and TB2-3 (-) Close Inputs.

When the non-momentary switch is activated, a constant open pulse will raise thegate arm and hold it open, regardless of the number of vehicles that pass through thelane. A Pay Direction count will be issued for each vehicle. Once the non-momentaryswitch is no longer activated, the gate will close after a vehicle passes over theclosing loop (Loop C). Or, the momentary side of the switch can then be used to issuea close pulse to lower the gate arm.

Figure 3 - 9, AGP-1730 Schematic


Gate Arm Installation

Install the gate arm in the gate arm clamp assembly. See Figure 3-10 below. Makesure the gate arm clamp assembly is in the DOWN (horizontal) position. Adjust thegate arm to the correct horizontal position and securely tighten the screws and nuts.

Gate Operation Test

1. The gate arm must be installed for proper operation of this test. Refer to Figure3 - 3 to locate the MAIN POWER switch and the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch.

2. Turn the MAIN POWER switch ON, and the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch DOWN.The gate arm will rotate to the DOWN position if it is not already there.

3. Set the internal UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to UP. The gate arm will rotate to theUP position. Set the internal UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to NORMAL. The gatewill now respond to automatic control.

4. Check the Extra Sensory feature by stopping the descent of the gate arm with anopen hand while standing in the traffic lane. Drive a car through the lane or switchthe UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to DOWN to lower the gate arm. Upon strikingyour hand, the gate should reverse, and remain UP for a period of time. Thisperiod of time depends on the switch settings on the control box. The defaultsetting is ten seconds. The gate arm will then rotate to the DOWN position. TheExtra Sensory Timer is switch selectable for 5 or 10 seconds, and can bedisabled/enabled at the control box. If the Extra Sensory Timer is disabled, thegate arm will remain in the UP position after striking an object until the gatereceives a close signal. Set the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to NORMAL.

5. If the gate contains loop detectors they should be tuned according to themanufacturer’s instructions. We recommend that you turn the LOGIC POWERswitch OFF while tuning detectors. Drive a car through the lane several times toverify the operation of the detectors, ticket issue and other functions.

6. Replace the access door and cover after electrical connections and testing arecompleted.

Drive Belt

Unplug the four motor and heater cables. Remove the drive mechanism from thepedestal base. Adjust the tension of the drive belt by sliding the motor along the slotsin its mounting bracket. With proper belt adjustment, you should be able to pressdown ¼” (0.635 cm) at the center of the drive belt. Position the motor pulley and thegear box pulley so that the belt is aligned at right angles to each shaft.

Lubrication

Lubricate the shaft bearings, link bearings, coil springs and crank arm with SAE #10oil. Use grease to lubricate the allenhead cap screw that operates the Extra Sensoryswitch.

Replacing the Taper Pin (026469)

A taper pin secures the gate arm clamp assembly to the drive shaft. It is designed toprotect the mechanism from damage due to improper force being applied to the gatearm. See Figure 3 - 10. If the pin fractures, dropping the gate arm, follow theseinstructions to replace the pin.

1. Unlock and remove the pedestal door, and remove the top cover.2. Set the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to the UP position and allow the gate arm

cycle to complete.3. Turn the MAIN POWER switch OFF.4. Remove the gate arm from the clamp assembly and pull the mounting hub and

broken pin pieces from the shaft.5. Drive the broken pin pieces out of the shaft from the small end of the taper pin.

With a punch and hammer, use a solid sharp blow rather than a series of lightblows.

6. Replace the gate arm mounting assembly.7. Insert the new taper pin, tapping the larger end until it is firmly seated in the hub

and drive shaft.8. Turn the MAIN POWER switch ON.9. Set the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to DOWN. Apply pressure to the gate arm

clamp as it is rotating to make sure that the gate does not go into the extrasensory mode.

10. Turn the MAIN POWER switch OFF.11. Replace the gate arm.12. Turn the MAIN POWER switch ON.13. Check the operation of the gate arm by using the UP/NORMAL/ DOWN switch.14. Set the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch to NORMAL.15. Replace the top cover and the pedestal door.

AGP-1700 / GATE CONTROL OPTIONS 4 - 1

Chapter 4: GATE CONTROL OPTIONSGate Control Box

On the front of the control box is a red dip switch array used to configure the gateoperational modes. The AGP-1700 can operate in four separate modes as follows:One Way Pay, Free Direction Only, Two Way Lane and IOC (Input/Output Controller).A description of each operational mode is listed under “MODE SETTING” on thecontrol box label. The corresponding MODE 1 and MODE 2 switch settings areillustrated next to each mode description. The Mode 1 and Mode 2 switches arelabeled next to the red dip switch array. Each operational mode is explained in detailon the following pages.

Note: The One Way Pay operational mode is the default. To choose a differentmode, turn the MAIN power switch OFF before you move the MODE 1 and MODE 2switches.

Figure 4 - 1, The Gate Control Box

4 - 2 AGP-1700 / GATE CONTROL OPTIONS

Gate Control Box

Other functions that are switch selectable on the control box include gate arm AutoStop, Backout, Extra Sensory Timer, and the Timer setting. The MAIN power does notneed to be switched off to change these functions. These settings are explained indetail later in this chapter.

An LED on the front panel will indicate when the power to the gate is on, and whenan error has occurred in the gate. Refer to Chapter 5: TROUBLESHOOTING.

Separate Out Counts (KIT-10)

The AGP-1700 can be equipped with an optional KIT-10 “daughter board” in thecontrol box. When the KIT-10 circuit board is in place, inputs are connected asfollows: TB1-2 & TB2-2 are used for CONTRACT (card reader) inputs in all modes, TB1-14 & TB2-14 are used for VEND (coin/token) inputs in the one way pay mode,TB1-1 & TB2-1 are still used for TRANSIENT (ticket dispenser) inputs.

The KIT-10 circuit board provides separate count outputs for CONTRACT users atTB1-6 & TB2-6, TRANSIENT users at TB1-7 & TB2-7, and VEND users. TB1-5 &TB2-5 (FREE output) are used for VEND output when the KIT-10 board is installed.When the gate is in One Way Pay mode, the gate can receive a separate open signalfrom a VEND device such as a coin or token unit. The gate will output a VEND count.

NOTE: If the VEND input is in use and the gate is latched UP, the gate cannot senda FREE direction count if a vehicle travels through the lane in the wrong direction.

Figure 4 - 2, Field Wiring Terminal Blocks


One Way Pay Direction

The gate is used in conjunction with a control device such as a ticket dispenser or acard reader, and a loop (C). An additional loop (A) can be added for arming or if thebackout timer is enabled. Loop A is wired to the Loop A Contact Inputs (TB1-15 &TB2-15) on the Field Connection Board. The Arming Outputs (TB1-12 & TB2-12) arewired to the control device arming inputs. A pay count is issued upon completion of avalid pay sequence, as follows:

A vehicle enters the lane and drives on to Loop A (if present) which will send anARMING signal to the control device. The patron is issued a ticket, uses the cardreader, or otherwise initiates the control device. The control device sends a GATEOPEN signal to raise the gate arm. The vehicle proceeds through the lane, passesover Loop C, and exits the lane. The gate closes, sends a RESET output to the ticketdispenser (or control device) and a PAY DIRECTION COUNT is issued. If the vehicledoes not proceed through the lane but backs off of Loop A, a BACKOUT situation hasoccurred, and will be handled as described in the Backout section on page 4-9.

If Loop A is not present and the gate arm has been latched up using theUP/NORMAL/DOWN switch, a PAY DIRECTION COUNT will be issued each time avehicle passes over Loop C. If Loop A is present the gate can detect which directiona vehicle is traveling. A PAY DIRECTION COUNT will be issued for a vehicle travelingin the correct direction. A FREE COUNT will be issued when a vehicle travels in thewrong direction, except when the VEND option is in use.

NOTE: If the gate is operating without the use of Loop A, then receives a signal fromLoop A, the gate will expect a Loop A signal until the LOGIC POWER is switched OFFand back ON again.

Free Direction Only

The gate is used in conjunction with two loops (D & C) that are placed so that theycan both be bridged by a vehicle at the same time. In this situation Loop D is theopening loop and Loop C is the closing loop. The gate will open when a vehicle ispresent over Loop D. As the vehicle proceeds through the lane it bridges both LoopD and Loop C. As the vehicle proceeds further it moves off of Loop D and is over LoopC only. Once the vehicle leaves Loop C the gate arm will lower and a FREE COUNTwill be issued.

If the gate arm has been latched up using the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch a FREEDIRECTION COUNT will be issued if a vehicle passes over the loops as describedabove. If a vehicle is detected traveling the wrong direction through the lane, a PAYDIRECTION COUNT is issued.

In a bumper to bumper situation, a vehicle is detected over Loop C and then passesoff of it, while there is another vehicle present over Loop D. The gate arm will beginto close, but will return to the UP position. A FREE DIRECTION COUNT will be issuedfor each vehicle.

Two Way Operation

The gate is used in conjunction with three loops. Two loops (C & D) are placed so thatthey can both be bridged by a vehicle at the same time. A control device is used toissue an open signal. Loop A is the arming loop in the pay direction. Loop C acts asthe closing loop in both directions. In a pay direction situation: A vehicle stops overLoop A and arms the control device. The control device is used and issues a GATEOPEN signal. The vehicle proceeds through the lane, passing over Loop C, and exitsthe lane. The gate closes and issues a PAY DIRECTION COUNT.

In a FREE DIRECTION situation: A vehicle moves over Loop D, signaling the gate toopen. The vehicle moves over Loop C, off of Loop D, then off of Loop C. A FREEDIRECTION COUNT is issued and the gate arm is lowered.

If the gate arm is latched up using the UP/NORMAL/DOWN switch the gate candetect which direction traffic is traveling in and issue a PAY DIRECTION count or aFREE DIRECTION count accordingly.

IOC (Input Output Controller)

In this mode an IOC (Input Output Controller) controls the lane operation in an on-lineCount and Monitoring System. The gate arm will remain in the UP position as long asthe IOC issues a GATE OPEN signal. When the IOC ceases to issue a GATE OPENsignal the gate arm will lower and a PAY DIRECTION COUNT will be issued. If anextra sensory situation occurs while the gate arm is lowering, a FREE DIRECTIONCOUNT will be issued to notify the IOC.

Dip Switch Settings

The default switch settings are shown on the control box label. As labeled below thedip switch array, the ENABLE position is to the left, and the DISABLE position is tothe right.

Timer 5-10 Seconds

This switch sets the time period for both the Back Out and Extra Sensory Timerfunctions. If this switch is in the enable position, the timer will be set to 5 seconds. Ifthis switch is in the disable position, the timer will be set to 10 seconds.

If the Backout function is enabled, this timer controls the amount of time the gate willwait before closing after a Backout has occurred.

If the Extra Sensory Timer is enabled, and the gate has an Extra Sensory occurrence,this timer controls the amount of time the gate remains in the up position before itcycles down.

Auto Stop

If this function is enabled, the gate arm will automatically stop its downward travelanytime a vehicle is present over the C loop. The gate arm will resume its downwardtravel once the vehicle leaves the C loop. The Auto Stop feature is available in theTwo Way mode for the PAY DIRECTION only, as well as the One Way Pay and FreeDirection Only Modes.

Backout

If this function is enabled, the gate arm will close if it detects that a vehicle has backedoff of the arming loop after the gate has been opened. Once the gate arm is up andthere is no vehicle present in the lane, the Timer Setting goes into effect. After thetime period set at the Timer Setting has elapsed, the gate arm will close. The TimerSetting is selectable to 5 or 10 seconds.

If this function is disabled, the gate will remain up until it receives a close signal.

Extra Sensory Timer

If the gate arm strikes an object at any time during its decent, the Extra Sensoryfeature will immediately raise the gate arm. If the Extra Sensory Timer is enabled, theTimer (5-10 Sec.) switch controls the amount of time the gate remains in the UPposition before it cycles down.

If the Extra Sensory Timer is disabled, the gate arm will remain in the UP positionafter an Extra Sensory occurrence until a close signal has been received or a vehicledrives through the lane.

Chapter 5: TROUBLESHOOTINGLed Indicator

Refer to Figure 4 -1 to locate the LED indicator on the front of the Control Box. Thisindicator has two modes.

Power ��

When the LED stays on, it indicates that the control box is receiving power. Thisindicates normal operation of the gate.

Error ��

When the LED flashes, it indicates that it has taken longer than the 5 secondmaximum allowed for the gate arm to travel from one position to the opposite position.If this error occurs, check the following items before calling your Amano Cincinnati,Inc. service representative.

1. Check the drive belt to make sure the tension is adequate, and the belt does notslip.

2. Check the limit switches mounted to the side of the gear reducer. Observe thelimit switches as you run the gate through a number of up and down cycles todetermine if the limit switches operate properly.

3. Make sure the gear reducer and motor turn freely.4. Turn the main power off and then on again to reset the gate.

Gate Arm Adjustment

IMPORTANT! Make sure the gate arm is mounted in the gate arm bracket properly,and the gate arm support and bracket are tight. The gate arm MUST be at 80° whenin the UP position. (Horizontal is 0°.)

Vertical Position

If the gate arm becomes out of alignment it will bounce in the downward motion. If thisoccurs, perform the following procedure:

1. Raise the gate arm to the UP position.2. Loosen the gate arm support and position the gate arm at an 80° angle (to

horizontal). Tighten the gate arm support in place.3. Lower the gate arm to the DOWN position.4. Refer to the instructions below to adjust the horizontal position.

5 - 2 AGP-1700 / TROUBLESHOOTING

Horizontal Position

The horizontal position of the gate arm is adjusted with the Down Cam. The DownCam is located on the gear reducer shaft closest to the gear reducer. To adjust thelowest (horizontal) position of the gate arm:

1. Loosen the hex head cap screw securing the Down Cam to the shaft.2. Rotate the cam on the shaft so that it actuates its switch sooner if a higher gate

arm position is desired, or later if a lower gate arm position is desired.Note: The switch is activated when it “clicks”.

3. Make sure the Down Cam clears the mounting switch plate by 1/4” (6.35 mm),and also clears the bolt heads on the gear reducer. Tighten the hex head screwto secure the cam. Apply Locktite #242 at the cam slot after adjusting the camand tightening the screw.

Warning!: Never adjust the Up Cam.
