Viking H-10 Manuals & Support

The Viking H-10 is a 1 HP, 24 VDC slide gate operator for residential and commercial gates up to 75 ft and 2,200 lb. It runs on the VFlex control board with an LCD readout of volts, amps and error messages.

It has push-button digital limits, a Smart Positioning System, a built-in heater and two 7 Ah backup batteries for about 100 cycles during an outage.

Identify your model

The model is on the label inside the cover. Units built from 2013 on use the VFlex control board with an LCD display. Check the logo color on the board: black logo boards are 2013 to 2016, green logo boards are 2016 to 2018 and orange logo boards are 2018 and later.

First generation units (2009 to 2012) use an older control board and some different parts. Use the first generation manual below for those units.

Manuals and documents

Troubleshooting

Press the Diagnose button to scroll the LCD. Error messages show first, and the Diagnose LED flashes once for each error.

ERR SENS UL or ERR SENS RO

A monitored sensor on the UL or Re-Open input is missing, faulted or not learned.
Check the 10K sensor wiring at the UL and Re-Open terminals.
Relearn: press Diagnose until UL LEARN shows, hold Stop and tap Diagnose once. The display shows how many sensors it found.

Gate stops: STOP BY OBSTRUCT or STOP BY OVERLOAD

Release the operator and check that the gate moves freely by hand.
Check the ODS (obstruction) sensitivity setting.
ERR FUSE means the motor fuse is blown. Replace it with the same rating.

Power errors

ERR AC LOW, HIGH or NO AC: check the 115 VAC or 240 VAC supply and the power supply panel.
ERR EMI NO FUSE: the 4 A main fuse on the power supply panel is blown.
ERR BAT LOW or the Battery Low LED: check the batteries and the 4 A charging fuse. Charge voltage should read 26 to 28 VDC.

Limits and alarm

A flashing Open Limit or Close Limit LED means that limit was erased. Set the limits again.
A solid Siren LED means a second obstruction in a row. Clear it and press the Alarm Reset button.

Common questions

A slide gate needs at least two monitored 10K sensors: one on UL and one on Re-Open, or two on UL, one for each direction of travel. Wire them, then run the UL LEARN process from the Diagnose button.

Lift the access door on the front of the cover and press the Manual Release switch to RELEASE. Push the switch to ENGAGE to run again.

It uses two 12 V, 7 Ah batteries (Viking DUBA12 or Yuasa NP7-12). A full charge reads about 26 VDC across both batteries. Check terminals for corrosion when you service the operator.

The alarm sounds after a second obstruction in a row. Remove the obstruction and press the Alarm Reset button on the operator.

Check the logo color on the VFlex board. Black logo boards are 2013 to 2016, green logo boards are 2016 to 2018 and orange logo boards are 2018 and later. Order the board that matches your logo color or the current orange logo board.
