Q. What kind of power does the Genesis board run on?
A. The Genesis board runs from a 24 volt DC power supply and 24 volt battery back-up. Genesis can run directly
off solar panels. The operator motor runs off the batteries and the Solar Panels will keep the batteries
charged. The charging circuit is integrated on the board.
Q. How much accessory power is available?
A. The Genesis board has both 24 volt DC and 12 volt DC accessory power available. A total of 2 amps are available
at 24 VDC. A separate 2 amps are available at 12 VDC.
Q. Where do I hook up NON-MONITORED Reversing devices such as Photo Beams and Reversing Edges?
A. All NON-MONITORED Reversing devices will be wired in the P2 terminals on the top righthand corner of the
board. Refer to page 51 foe details.
Q. Does Genesis have monitored inputs for “Entrapment Protection”?
A. Yes, there are 6 monitored inputs. Two dedicated inputs for the closing direction, (1-beam, 1-edge), and two
dedicated inputs for the open direction, (1-beam, 1-edge). There are two fully programmable inputs that can
function in either direction and for either type of device. These inputs are capable of monitoring 10K ohm de-
vices. Note: there must be at least one (1) device connected in both the open and close direction in order for
the Drop arm/gate to operate.
However, if you are using NON-MONTORED “Reversing” equipment, you will
need to contact AutoGate for a PASSCODE to put your GENESIS board in a NON-MONTIROED state for oper.
Q. Is there a way to monitor the Drop arm/gate position, (Open or Closed)?
A. Yes, there are 2 Auxiliary relays on the board which can be used. Also there are 2 Auxiliary Outputs which can
output 24 Volts DC to accessories when open and/or closed.
Q. Can the board control external devices, such as traffic lights, counters, and other options?
A. Yes, the 2 Auxiliary relays are programmable to trigger based on Drop arm/gate position and/or motion.
Q. Can the speed of the Drop arm/gate motion be controlled ?
A. Yes, the speed of the Drop arm/gate can be controlled separately in both directions. The adjustment will be
from 100% to 75%.
Q. Why is the Green LED light flashing?
A. The green flashing LED signifies that the processor is powered up and working. If LED is on steady or OFF, the
processor has a problem and the board needs replaced.
Q. System is completely dead and will not operate, how do I open the Drop arm/gate?
A. In a catastrophic failure (blown board, total power loss, etc.), pull the release handle on the bottom of the mo-
tor drive mechanism to disengage the drive coupler. Then at the Drop arm/gate, lift the Linkage Arm slightly
upwards. The springs will start to pick the Drop arm/gate up. Then, push up on the bottom of the Drop arm/
gate until fully open. Insert the
T/M pin to lock open.
