21.1.12. Courtesy (Pillar) Light Timer (optional feature)
Courtesy (Pillar) Lights can be connected
through the
D2 Turbo/D2 Turbo
Low-Voltage
controller if an adequate
power supply is available at the gate.
The lights will switch on every time the gate
is given a signal to operate (the trigger
could be a remote control button, or the
gate pushbutton on an intercom).
The lights will stay on for a fixed period of
two minutes, then automatically turn off.
The purpose is to bathe your entrance with light when you open the gates and increase
your security as you drive into your property – it also saves electricity as the lights only
come on when you use the gate motor.
Using the Pedestrian Opening feature will cause the Courtesy (Pillar) Lights to flash three
times before the gate opens.
The cabling that supplies the input voltage to the
D2 Turbo
must be suitably
sized to carry the additional load of the Courtesy (Pillar) Lights.

controller.
