Owner Installation Instructions
Easy Slider - Sliding Gate Opener
21
This section describes the standard operation of the
control board with the factory set default values.
NOTE:
A dual leaf gate installation is used to
help explain operation. Ignore the second motor
descriptions for single gate installations
Motor control
The controller drives the motors in the appropriate
direction as instructed by the control inputs. When a
dual gate installation is used, the motor selected to
open first leaves the closed position first when opening
and reaches the close position last when closing. Once a
cycle is started the motors will continue to travel until:
1. The controller is instructed to stop by a control input.
2. The motor’s travel limit is reached.
3. A motor is obstructed, overloaded or stalls.
When the control inputs instruct the control board to
change the motor direction, the controller brakes the
motors, waits for the gate to stop moving and then
starts the motors in the opposite direction.
Motor obstruction detection
If the gate is obstructed while opening, it will stop. If it is
obstructed while closing, both gates will stop and then
reverse to the open position. Obstruction detection
monitors each motor’s speed and compares it to the
“normal” speed profile for the motor. If the speed of a
motor falls below the “normal” by the MARGIN RPM
setting, then the motor is said to be obstructed. In addition
to the normal motor obstruction detection, motor overload
and stall detection is provided to protect the gate opener.
Motor speed control - SOFT START/SOFT STOP
Each motor’s speed is controlled independently. When
the gate starts to move the motor speed is ramped up
to full speed and then ramped down as the travel limit
is approached so as to come to a gentle stop.
Lock release output
The lock release output is configured to pulse for 0.5
seconds at the start of each cycle. The output is turned
on at the same time the motors are activated.
Courtesy light
Courtesy lights can be activated with the addition of a
module connected to the control board. Normally used
to illuminate the driveway etc., the light will turn on each
time the gate is activated (day or night) and automatically
turn off one (1) minute after the cycle has finished. The
light can also be activated and deactivated by pressing a
transmitter button assigned the LGT function.
OPEN/STOP/CLOSE (OSC) input
(Activated by OSC terminal with N/O switch or by
transmitter button with OSC function assigned). If
the gate is moving the OSC input will cause the gate
to stop. The next trigger will move the gate in the
opposite direction to that last travelled.
Pedestrian access (PED) function
(Activated by PED terminal with N/O switch
or by transmitter button with PED function
assigned). The pedestrian access operation
opens the gate partially to allow pedestrian
access but prevent vehicle access. The position
the gate leaf is driven to is automatically set to
halfway during setting of the travel limits, but
can be adjusted to suit.
Close (CLS) input
(Activated by CLS terminal with N/O switch, by
transmitter button with CLS function assigned or
by CLOSE button on console). Activating the CLS
input will cause the gate to close. Holding the
input active will prevent opening.
Swipe (SWP) input
(Activated by SWP terminal with N/O switch or by
transmitter button with SWP function assigned).
Activating the the SWP input will cause the gate
to be opened. If the terminal input is held it will
prevent the gate being closed. The swipe input
also effects P.E TRIGGERED AUTO CLOSE.
Open (OPN) input
(Activated by OPN terminal with N/C switch, by
transmitter button with OPN function assigned or
by OPEN button on console). Activating the OPN
input will cause the gate to open. Holding the
input will prevent closing.
Stop (STP) input
(Activated by STP terminal with N/C switch, by
transmitter button with STP function assigned or
by EXIT button on console). Activating the STP
input while the gate is moving will cause the gate
to be stopped. If the STP terminal is held it will
prevent the gate from being moved.
Photoelectric safety beam (P.E) input
(Activated by PE terminal with N/C switch) When
the P.E input is active, the gate is prevented from
being closed. If the P.E input is triggered while
the gate is closing, the controller will stop the
motors and then open the gate. The P.E input has
no effect while the gate is opening.
Vacation mode
Vacation mode allows one transmitter to
disable remote control access for other coded
transmitters. The mode is activated by pressing
a transmitter button with the VAC function
assigned until the console displays that vacation
mode is enabled (approx. 5 secs). When activated
any transmitter button which is assigned VAC
will be ignored. To turn Vacation mode off press
a transmitter button with the VAC function
assigned. Vacation mode can also be turned on
or off manually by editing the VACATION MODE
parameter.
