A summary of SW1000 functionality is presented below.
Barrier Breakaway
The SW1000 utilizes motor force to provide resistance against a user pushing or pulling the barrier open. When the
barrier is forced, an alarm sounds and the barrier "breaks away" allowing the barrier to move freely. An output is
generated from the TB9 terminal block for monitoring purposes. After a defined time (4 seconds is the default), the
gate resets and resumes normal operation. The force it takes to push or pull the barrier open is configurable using
SwingGate Utility
.
Barrier Impact
Should the barrier encounter an obstruction while opening or closing, the barrier will stop moving and an alarm will
sound. After a defined period, the barrier resets and the gate resumes normal operation.
Fire Alarm / Emergency Override
Activation to open the gate in conjunction with a fire alarm / emergency override signal is achieved by supplying
a sustained dry contact signal to the appropriate input on the access control terminal block (TB3). When the input
signal is received, the gate opens in the exit direction and remains open until the input signal is removed. When the
input signal is removed, the gate resumes normal operation.
The SW1000 default configuration for fire alarm / emergency override input signals is normally open, but can be
configured to interface with normally closed input signals using the configuration terminal block (TB2).
Power Failure
When power is removed from the unit, the SW1000 barrier moves freely in either direction. When pushed or pulled to
the open position, the barrier remains open. When power is restored, the gate resumes normal operation.
Barrier Cycle
Barrier cycle refers to the period of time it takes for the barrier to open or close. Barrier open and close settings can
be defined using the
SwingGate Utility
.
Dwell Time
Dwell time refers to the period of time the barrier remains in the open position (allowing a user to pass through the
gate) before returning to the closed position. Dwell time can be configured using
SwingGate Utility
.
Barrier Hold Open
After an Open Entry or Open Exit activation, the gate is held open indefinitely using an integrated toggle switch (not
supplied by Alvarado). When the toggle is released, the barrier returns to the home position. Typically, this is used to
allow delivery personnel or a group of visitors entry/exit to the facility without credentials.
Security Alarm
The Security Alarm sounds when the barrier is pushed or pulled beyond the user-defined position. The Security Alarm
position can be configured using
SwingGate Utility
