Battery backup

The digidoor III ac/dc has an optional battery backup feature which will allow operation during 
power failures. The battery feature can be fitted as standard or fitted as an option at a later stage. 
The battery backup feature allows at least 10 opening and closing cycles of the door during a power 
failure. 

The  amount  of  operations  will  depend  on  the  door  running  load  as  well  as  the  battery  reserve 
remaining in the batteries after an extended power failure.  The battery reserve will allow operation 
of the door up to 24hrs after a power failure has occurred depending on the amount of usage during 
that time.

The  battery  charger  and  control  board  use  advanced  electronics  to  minimize  the  drain  on  the 
battery during power failures and has a low voltage battery cut-out feature which will disconnect 
the battery when the reserve power in the battery reaches a pre-determined level. This extends the 
battery life and reduces the battery re-charge time (<6 hours) once the mains power is returned. 

Fitting of external equipment drawing power from the digidoor III ac/dc such as external receivers 
will significantly reduce the standby time and the amount of operations of the battery backup, 
however fitting of safety beams will not affect these since the beam supply is only active when the 
door is in use or not closed.

Note

: If Mains supply is not available during installation, press the 'Power Up Button' to make use of 

battery power for Set-up during installation.

24 Vdc Motor with integrated gearbox: 

A purpose-made 24vdc motor 

developed for the door industry, which has a greater power to weight 
ratio  and  greater  efficiency  than  12v  motors,  powers  the  digidoor  III 
ac/dc.  

2.

Mains/Battery:

 230Vac with 24V battery backup.  

3.

Controller:

  The controller is microprocessor based with a plug in printed 

circuit control board.

4.

Feature Selection:

 Features are link-selected.

5.

Integrated Receiver:

 A high performance receiver is integrated directly 

on the control board, supporting 28 users.

6.

Obstacle Sensing:

  For added safety obstacle sensing is implemented in 

software and by means of adjustable current sensing.

7.

Wireless  Wall  Console:

    The  console  eliminates  the  time-consuming 

wiring. It has buttons for Control, Light and Lock. Adding extra remotes 
via the console is easy. 

8.

Status Indicator:

  The digidoor III ac/dc has a prominent status indicator 

that shows whether in mains or battery mode, and if the lock function is 
on. Also indicates Set-up Mode.

9.

Audio Alert: 

To assist with Set-up and provide audible warnings.

10.

Courtesy Lamp:

  Both versions of the 60-watt lamp may be used. 

11.

Adjustable Open-Position Stop:

 The strut incorporates an adjustable stop 

that limits the travel of the door in the open position. This is set during 
installation to provide a reference, and serves as a safety stop when the 
door is used manually.

12.

Fast  Operation:   

This  operator  achieves  a  fast  operating  speed,  with 

ramp-up and ramp-down for smooth operation. Opening or closing of a 
standard sectional door can be achieved in approximately 16 seconds.

13.

Supports Most Types of Safety Beams:

 A 24volt connection is provided, 

which ‘times-out’ in order to conserve battery power.

14.

Auto-Close Mode:

 Auto close may be selected, and occurs 30 seconds 

after  opening.  Before  auto-closing,  the  light  flashes  and  an  audible 
warning sounds for 10 seconds prior to closing. 

15.

Limits:

  The closed limit of the door travel is set automatically during 

the installation phase, the open position is controlled by manually setting 
the open limit sensor.
