Dual Gate Controller DCB-05
Owner Installation Instructions
Menu 3. Auto-Close times
The Auto-Close modes automatically closes the gate after it has been operated. To implement this, the
controller starts a timer once the gate has reached its desired open position. The timer then counts down
and when it expires the controller starts to close the gate. Details of the four Auto-Close modes are
outlined below. Automatic Technology strongly recommend using a PE Beam for added safety.
Standard Auto-Close
This mode is selected by entering a non-zero time for
the
STD Auto-Close
parameter. When selected the
gate will Auto-Close after being fully opened (except
when the gate has reversed to the open position
after a motor obstruction or overload). Countdown is
suspended by: PE, OPN or SWP input being active.
The countdown is aborted if the STP input is activated.
If the gate is already open and the OPN or the SWP
input is activated then the countdown will start.
PE triggered Auto-Close
This mode is selected by entering a non-zero time for
the “
PE Auto-Close
” parameter. This mode is used to
auto-close the gate but only after a vehicle have passed
through the gateway and triggered the PE input. The
swipe input can be used to clear the PE triggered status
so that the PE input must be activated again before the
countdown will start. As with the other PE modes, the
STP input will abort countdown and the OPN and SWP
inputs will restart the countdown if the gate is OPEN.
Pedestrian access Auto-Close
This mode is selected by entering a non-zero time
for the “
Ped’n A/C
” parameter. When selected,
the gate will Auto Close after being opened for
pedestrian access unless it was following a reverse
from an obstruction.
PE triggered pedestrian Auto-Close
This mode is selected by entering a non-zero
time for the “
PE Ped’n A/C
” parameter.
This mode is the same as the PE triggered
auto-close mode but it only operates during
pedestrian access. As the SWP input is not
available during pedestrian access, the PED
input can be confi gured to act in a SWP mode
by setting the “
PED I/P = PED SWIPE MODE
”
parameter to
ON
.
Auto-Close after obstruction
Two parameters are provided to enable the auto-
close feature to be activated after obstructions.
Normally the auto-close feature is not enabled
after obstructions for safety reasons. PE beams
must be used for these features to be activated.
