PosiDRIVE Security Gate
Power Failure Detection
The PosiDRIVE controller is able to sense when there is a power failure. If the
controller is programmed to raise the gate arm during a power failure, the controller uses
the power from backup battery assembly to raise the gate arm automatically. The gate
arm stays in the up position until the power is restored.
Note:
If the controller is not programmed to automatically raise the gate, the gate must
be raised manually. See “Locking, Unlocking, and Advancing the Gate Arm” on
page 49.

Gate Enclosure (Cabinet)
Federal APD, Inc. builds the PosiDRIVE gate enclosure using 0.090 inch galvanized
steel. The enclosure is weather resistant and allows proper operation in all weather
conditions and temperatures ranging from -30°F (-34°C) to 140°F (60°C). Louvres on
the back and cutouts on the four bottom corners of the enclosure provide air circulation,
thus preventing excessive moisture buildup.
The enclosure is 15 inches W x 16 inches D x 42 inches H (38 cm W x 41 cm D x 107
cm H), finished in yellow or white powder coat paint. The enclosure consists of two
pieces, a base and a removable cap. The base houses the power supply and electronics
package as well as provides the main structure of the enclosure. In addition, the base
provides reinforced flanges for installation, hookup points for the mainsprings, and
mounting provisions for the drive mechanism. Figure 1.4 illustrates the main
components of the gate enclosure.
The enclosure cap is a removable piece that provides easy access to the drive
mechanism without disrupting the operation of the gate. Inspection and maintenance can
be performed easily by removing the enclosure cap. It is secured by four draw latches to
the base, requiring no tools to remove or install. See “Removing the Enclosure Cap” on
page 16.
