Safety Auto Reverse
Obstruction Sensor
The Obstruction Sensor continuously monitors the gate movement for any obstructions. If any
obstructions are detected when the gate is closing, the gate will stop and reverse back to the
open position. If any obstructions are detected when opening, the gate will stop. The factory
setting is set at
MAXIMUM
sensitivity. You may need to increase or decrease depending on
the weight and the condition of your gate.
Adjustment of the Auto-Reverse Function
●
Tuning the auto-reverse safety function: To adjust the opening force, rotate the ‘Open Force
VR2’ knob (See Fig.15) with a screwdriver. The resistance may be increased or decreased by
rotating clockwise or counterclockwise. To adjust the closing force rotate the ‘Close Force
VR3’ knob (See Fig.15) with a screwdriver. The resistance may be increased or decreased by
rotating clockwise or counterclockwise. By turning the overload variable resistors, you can
adjust how much force it will take to cause the gate to stop and auto reverse when closing or
stop if opening.
Note: (1) With each press of the button the gate will open, stop if moving or close.
NOTE:(1)
If the auto-reverse direction is wrong, exchange the wires ‘D’ and ‘D’ or exchange the
two magnet brackets position. (2) When the gate meets the correct place in both
opened and closed positions it will auto-stop and switch off automatically, otherwise
exchange the two magnet brackets position.
