The backup battery ensures that the gate will operate in the event
of an electric failure, albeit at slow speed. It is connected and
integrated directly into the motor's electronic
housing.
• Endurance: 10 continuous cycles or 24
hours on a gate in perfect condition.
• Charge time before optimum battery use:
48 hours.
• Battery life: 3 years.
For best possible battery life, cut the electric
power to your gate 3 times a year in order to
run the battery for a few cycles.
The orange LED signals the
activation of the motorisation
mechanisms.
It starts blinking two seconds
before the gate begins to move.

Photocells are used to halt or reverse the gate's movement if an obstacle is detected.
A set of photocells may be installed. Each set of photocells is comprised of:

• and a receiving cell (RC).

Safety instruction
The cells must be checked every 6 months to make sure they are in good working order. To do
so, cover one cell with your hand as the gate closes. It should stop closing.
