Menu 8 - Courtesy (pillar) light
This feature is associated with the
light
connections on the controller. Refer to
Section 16 of the manual for details on how to connect a pillar or security light to
the controller.
The pillar light circuit has multiple functions:
It operates as a courtesy light and switches on for a selectable time period
every time the gate is activated
The courtesy light can also be turned on for the same time period by
momentarily connecting the Aux terminal to the Com terminal via a pushbutton
The courtesy light can also be turned on permanently by connecting the Aux
terminal to the Com terminal via a pushbutton, for three seconds. A short pulse
thereafter will switch the lights off. The status LED will flash once every two
seconds to indicate that the courtesy light is on permanently. The
abovementioned facility can also be achieved via a remote learned to the
system and mapped to the courtesy light function from within the remotes
