Charger:  

A battery charger is built-in with the Control board for use with a backup battery. The charger may be manu-
ally programmed for customized charge settings or set to “Auto” to provide a battery charging profile that 
automatically compensates for temperature and current during the charging process. The following parame-
ters are available for programming the battery charger: 

 

Charger On/Off 

 

Select Max current for charging (from 0.1A to 1.5A step 0.05A) 

 

Cycling Time (1 second off charging every cycling time) 

 

Auto (best charge considering temperature) 

 

Standby:  

Programs the timeout for the gate operator to go into low power standby mode. Low power standby is Set-
tings from 5 to 120 seconds, or may be disabled with “OFF”. During low power standby there is no data dis-
played on the gate operator LCD and it consumes a minimum amount of power to extend the life of the 
backup battery. All the outputs are switched off and the LED OK blinks to show this standby status of the 
system. 

Note: 

 Terminals 11, 20, and 41  lose power in standby mode.
