PRE INSTALLATION NOTES  
The Allstar Standby Power Supply is designed to provide back-  
up power to a gate operator when the main AC supply voltage is  
interrupted or disconnected. It eliminates the need for a separate  
motor and control circuit to be mechanically attached to the gate  
operator. The SPS-50 will provide the power and a signal to the  
gate operator to open the gate and leave it open until the main  
power is restored. Once the main power is restored, the SPS-50  
will provide a signal to the gate operator and the operator will  
close (if a timer to close is used). It is not designed to  
continuously cycle the gate operator. Many local building codes  
require this type open only back-up vs. a continuos cycle back-  
up.  
As the designer and installer of the GATE SYSTEM, you must  
advise the purchaser on the proper use of the gate system. You  
also have the primary responsibility of insuring that ALL  
possible operational hazards have been considered and  
eliminated. YOU MUST ADVISE and WARN the purchaser  
and the ultimate user of ANY HAZARDS that you have not  
been able to eliminate.

THE IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS AND  
INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS MANUAL CANNOT COVER  
ALL POSSIBLE CONDITIONS AND SITUATIONS WHICH  
MAY OCCUR DURING ITS USE.  
IT MUST BE  
NOTICE  
UNDERSTOOD THAT COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION  
MUST BE EXERCISED BY THE PERSON(S)  
INSTALLING, MAINTAINING AND OPERATING THE  
EQUIPMENT DESCRIBED HEREIN. DO NOT USED THIS  
EQUIPMENT FOR ANY OTHER THAN ITS INTENDED  
PURPOSE - PROVIDING TEMPORARY POWER TO A  
GATE OPERATOR.  
BEFORE  
ATTEMPTING INSTALLATION,  
READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY SO YOU WILL BE  
THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH THE FEATURES OF  
THE ALLSTAR STANDBY POWER SUPPLY AND ITS  
PROPER INSTALLATION.  
The SPS-50 consists of control box and a battery pack. The  
SPS-50 control box senses the main power, charges the battery  
pack, converts the DC battery voltage to AC voltage (to power  
the operator) and provides control signals to activate the  
operator when the main power is interrupted. Additionally, the  
SPS-50 control box has a set of relay outputs that are activated if  
a low battery capacity is detected. These contact may be  
connected to an alarm system to alert the end user that battery  
maintenance is required.  
W A R N I N G !  
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF SEVERE INJURY OR  
DEATH: READ AND FOLLOW ALL  
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS AND GATE  
SYSTEM DESIGN PARAMETERS PROVIDED  
WITH THE GATE OPERATOR.  
Gate operators are designed to start and move gates weighing as  
much as 1000 pounds or more and are capable of producing high  
levels of force. It is important in the design of the total gate  
system that designers, installers and users be aware of the  
hazards that may be associated with the IMPROPER design,  
installation and use of vehicular gate systems and gate operators.  
Advise the purchaser to test the operation of the SPS-50  
monthly and record the date tested on the log provided below.

INSTALLING THE SPS-50  
The SPS-50 is not weather proof and must be protected from exposure. Ideally, the unit should be located inside the operator, away  
from where water might infiltrate the operator. If there is no suitable space inside the operator, it may be located in an electrical  
enclosure outside the operator. The battery pack must be connected to the SPS-50 control box with the leads provided. Do not route  
low voltage wires in the same conduit as high voltage wires. Follow all local electrical codes or the national electrical code.

Testing the SPS-50  
After the batteries are charged, the SPS-50 may be tested. To  
test, turn the main power off and allow the SPS-50 to cycle the  
operator. There will be approximately a ten second delay  
between the loss of AC power and when the operator starts to  
open. After approximately 30 seconds, the SPS-50 will shut  
down the power to the operator.  
proper connections to the operators.  
After the completion of the test, turn the main AC power back  
on. After approximately ten seconds a reset pulse will be sent to  
the operator. If the operator is wired for auto timer to close, it  
should close at the end of the time delay period.  
Connecting the Relay Outputs  
Two sets of relay outputs are available on the SPS-50. The set  
marked LO BAT are intended to be alarm contacts to alert of  
low battery capacity. These must be connect to a suitable alarm  
system (not provided).  
The SPS-50 will only provide back-up power for 2-5 cycles  
(depending on battery charge, temperature and gate size and  
weight). If the battery charge is too low, the SPS-50 will not be  
able to develop sufficient voltage to power the gate operator and  
the batteries must recharge before additional testing.  
The set marked RELAY are connected to the operator as  
follows:  
CM - Common, connected to the control input common terminal  
of the operator  
NO - Normally open, connected to the hold open terminal of the  
operator  
A monthly test should be made to ensure proper operation of the  
system.  
If the operator uses a normally closed control circuit, the NC  
contact may be used. Refer to the instructions provided with the  
operator for the proper connections to the operator control panel.
