Events:

 Up to 8 weekly events (EV1 through EV8) can be programmed and 

stored. Each event can be programmed to trigger at a specific time and 

can be assigned to any combination of days of the week (Monday through 
Sunday). Events that are already programmed into the system may be 
suspended temporarily, or removed permanently from memory. The following 
actions can be assigned to events:
•  No program 
• Open 
• Close 
• Partial 
• Partial1 
• AxOut1On 
•  AxOut1 Off 
•  AxOut2 On 
•  AxOut2 Off 
• Block 
• Unblock 
•  Open and Block 
•  Close and Block 
•  Open and Unblock 
•  Close and Unblock

To temporarily suspend one or more weekly events (EV1 through EV8), 

perform the following steps:
1.

 Press FUNCTION -> Events.

2.

 Press OK quickly to display EV1 active days.

3.

 Press OK quickly again to display “Suspend”. Event EV1 is now suspended 

and will not run until re-enabled.

Charger:

 A battery charger is built-in with the Control board for use with a 

backup battery. The charger may be manually 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 parameters 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 Settings from 5 to 120 seconds, or 
may be disabled with “OFF”. During low power standby there is no data 
displayed 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.

Advance Settings:

 The following settings are available for customizing the 

gate operator as required by the customer’s installation requirements:
•  Set Language (English Spanish Italian) 
•  Set clock 12H/24H 
•  Set LCD Contrast 
•  Set Direction Opening (Adapts the motor direction as necessary depending 

upon the opening direction of the Swing or swing gate).

•  Set Virtual Encoder (Used for motors without built-in encoders)
•  Set Anti-tailgate (Closes gate immediately after vehicle has cleared safety 

sensors)

•  Select inputs LOOP or PHOTO 

  Select UL/EDGE input type (NO, ANALOG OPEN, ANALONG CLOSE, 

ANALOG BOTH)

Note:

 When set to ANALOG OPEN, CLOSE, or BOTH, this input must 

have an 8.2k-10k Ohm terminated external entrapment sensor installed.  
ANALOG BOTH is only available for Swing Gates.

 

•  Select Master / Slave Motor1 or Motor2 
•  Activate link for remote Master/Slave (Enables control of an additional gate 

operator board)

Default:

 This setting gives the installer/user the option of returning some or all 

settings of the gate operator to the original factory settings:
•  System settings
•  Radio Channel settings
•  Event settings
•  Charger settings

ESC:

 Exit the FUNCTION menu.
