Diagnostics Menu
This menu allows you to monitor certain key parameters while the gate is running or stopped.
You do not need to enter programming mode to view this menu.
Speed:
The current speed of the motor in meter per minute.
The higher the gate resistance, the lower the gate speed.
Distance:
The distance moved from the closed position.
This can be anything up to 40m.
Current:
The current that is being drawn by the motor.
THe higher the gate resistance, the more current the motor
will draw to run the gate.
Force:
The force being applied to the rack by the motor.
This will drop as the gate momentum takes over.
PSU:
The PSU voltage. This will not show when no PSU is installed.
This should be between 30 - 38V.
AC:
The AC input voltage, this will also show when a PSU is installed. This should be between 29 - 37V.
Aux 12v:
12v auxiliary output voltage.
This should be stable at 11 - 13Vdc.
Power Supply:PSU
Motor power is being supplied by the PSU.
This will vary depending on the status of the mains power
supply and/or the intelligent charger stage.
Power Supply:Bat
Motor power is being supplied by the battery.
This will vary depending on the status of the mains power
supply and/or the intelligent charger stage.
Battery:
Battery voltage.
This may seem to pulse, this is part of the charge sequence.
Bat health: None
Battery health not yet measured.
Run +/- 20 full cycles to get your first reading.
Bat health: Good
Battery health Good.
Battery does not need replacing.
Bat health: Fair
Battery health Fair.
Battery does not need replacing.
Bat health: Poor
Battery health Poor.
Consider replacing battery.
Bat: Supply
Battery charger status: Battery is the supply.
This will vary depending on the status of the mains power
supply and/or the intelligent charger stage.
Bat: Curr limit
Battery charger status: Charger is in current limiting.
Battery is level is low or there is a battery wiring fault.
Bat:Err FET shrt
Battery charger status: The charger FET has failed.
Return control card for repair.
Bat:Err FET open
Battery charger status: The charger FET has failed.
Return control card for repair.
Bat: Turned off
Battery charger status: Charger turned off.
This is configured by the installer. Change if necessary.
Bat:Float charge
Battery charger status: Battery in float charge.
Charge voltage lowered slightly when battery not in use for
a long period.
Bat: Charging
Battery charger status: Battery charging.
Charge current > 100mA. All is good.
Bat:Topup Charge
Battery charger status: Battery in top-up charge.
Charge voltage maintained at a higher voltage for 5 hours
after current < 100mA. All is good.
Bat: Short
Battery charger status: There is a short across the battery
terminals.
Remove short or replace faulty battery.
Bat: Removed
Battery charger status: No battery plugged in.
Install battery.
Bat: Low Supply
Battery charger status: The supply is too low to charge the
battery.
Correct/repair the primary supply.
Bat: ERROR
Battery charger status: Another error has occurred.
Contact ET Systems for assistance.
Charge Cur:100mA
Indicates the battery charge current.
All is good.
Temp:
Indicates the PCB temperature (Accurate to 5
o
c)
Acceptable range -10
o
to 60
o
Celcius.
Gate Mode: STD
Gate is in standard mode, no auto-close.
Change if necessary.
Gate Mode:A-Clos
Gate is in Auto-close mode.
Change if necessary.
Gate Mode: CONDO Gate is in condominium mode.
Change if necessary.
Gate Mode: PIRAC
Gate is in PIRAC mode.
Change if necessary.
Recent Rx =
Shows the last received remote user trigger.
This is useful when trying to track down a false trigger.
Encoder = South/
North
Indicates the encoder direction.
This should change as the encoder rotates, use to check
encoder is working by rotating motor by hand.
