GLOSSARY 

 

AC:  

Alternating Current.  An electric current or voltage that reverses direction at regular intervals. 

Alternate Action: 

 Ability to open and close a fully open gate by using the same open command. 

Arc:

  The area that is swept by a swing gate from fully closed to fully open position. 

ATG: 

 Anti-tailgating refers to a method of immediately closing an opening gate behind a vehicle so that 

an unauthorized vehicle can not follow the authorized vehicle through the gate. 

DC: 

 Direct Current.  An electric current of constant value flowing in one direction only. 

Dynamic braking: 

 Stopping the gate by activating the forward and reverse windings of the gate 

operator motor in each half AC cycle. 

Fault: 

 An abnormal condition which causes the gate to stop to protect the gate and the user. 

Gate sensitivity:

  The response of the gate operator to an exerting force to the gate. 

Gear Box:

  A device that changes the speed and power of its driving force (motor). 

Inrush current:

  Initial current drawn into an electrical device due to its capasitive or inductive nature. 

Interrupt Bar or Edge:

  A switch which is installed at the edge of a gate to protect an object which is 

situated between the gate and the gate frame. 

LED: 

 Light Emitting Diode.  LEDs are indicators placed on the controller board which light up to 

indicate an action in the system. 

Limit switch:

  A switch which its closure indicates the gate has reached its open or close limit, causing 

the gate to stop.  There are two limit switches, open and close. 

Limit cam:

  An object which its excursion corresponds to the gate traveling distance and closes the 

limit switch at the open or close limit of the gate. 

Loop sensor:

  A wire embedded in the ground for magnetically sensing large metallic objects (cars).  

  Exit or Open Loop:

  activation opens the gate. 

  Interrupt  or Reverse or Reopen Loop:

  activation reverses or stops the gate.  

  Shadow Loop:

  activation prevents a fully open or closed gate from moving while a vehicle 

is inside the arc of a swing gate. 

Loop detector:

  An electronic device that is activated by a loop sensor sensing a metallic object. 

Master/Slave:

  A synchronized system containing a pair of gate operators. 

Maglock:

  An electric magnet which is used to secure the closed gate.  

Power Fail Option:

  A battery backup system which opens or closes the gate at power outage. 

Pulley:  

A grooved wheel which transfers power via a belt. 

Reclose Timer:

  An electronic timer which closes the fully open gate automatically. 

Retry:

  A condition at which the stopped gate resumes its course automatically after the occurrence of 

 a Fault. 

RPM:

 Rotation Per Minute is a term to indicate the speed of an rotary object. 

Sprocket:  

A toothed wheel which transfers power via a chain. 

Thermal overload:

  A condition at which a heat producing device shuts off  automatically when it 

reaches a critical and damaging temperature level. 

Torque: 

 A force that causes rotation. 

Torque Limiter:

  A clutch-like mechanism used to relieve excessive torque generated by the gate on 

the gate operator.
