Options for User Programmable Output Relays 1-3
The Smart Touch Controller can be set to interface to many types of external devices
through the use of its programmable output relays. All of the output functions listed below
are accessible in the Installer Menu under the selection [r1 __], [r2 __] and [r3 __]. Select
which relay you wish to use and enter the appropriate function by the numbers as listed
below.
1. Close Limit output: This output can also be used to create an interlock signal to another operators
interlock input, or simply to indicate that the gate is secure. The relay is released at full closure.
2. Close limit pulse output: This output may be used in a sequenced system to command a 2nd
machine to close. Generates a brief pulsed output that occurs when the close limit is triggered.
3. Open limit output: This output is used to indicate a full open position indication. This output be-
comes active when to open limit is triggered and releases when the open limit is released.
4. Open limit pulse output: This output may be used to trip a sequenced barrier arm gate operator to
open. Generates a brief pulsed output occurs when the open limit is triggered. An additional pulse is
also generated with any new open command even when the gate is already fully open.
5. Warn before/during operate output: This output may be used to control an external warning device.
This output will operate at the same time as the internal warn before operate buzzer.
6. Gate Lock output: This output may be used to control external solenoid locks or magnetic locks. In
both directions of travel, this output will be activated about 7/10th of a second before the operator
starts moving the gate, and remains active while moving and for a few seconds after stopping.
7. Gate forced open output: Activated if the gate is forced off the closed limit switch, and operator is
not able to restore the gate to full closed within four seconds. This alarm resets itself in 30 seconds.
8. Gate open too long output: Activates when the gate has been open longer than a user-selected
period of time. Adjustable from 0 delay, then 15 seconds delay to 135 seconds delay in 30-second
time increments.
9. Safety Mode Alert output: Activated when system is in the Safety Mode or the Entrapment Mode.
Safety Mode occurs upon an impact with an obstruction. Entrapment Mode means the gate is
stopped and occurs if the internal inherent sensor triggers while the system is in the Safety Mode.
10. Entrapment Mode Alert output: Activated only when system is in the Entrapment Mode.
11. Unauthorized Vehicle Entry output: Activated when a 2nd vehicle enters from the outside, without a
valid input from an access control device. This output releases when an access control input signals
open or the gate reaches the close limit position.
12. Outside Obstruction Vehicle Detector output: This output may be used to interlock to an entry
device to prevent pedestrian use. This output is active whenever the OOLD is tripped.
13. Special output from “OOLD” only when gate is closed: Used to annunciate a vehicle or to indi-
cate loitering. Adjustable from 0 delay, then 15 to 135 seconds delay in 30-second time intervals.
14. Gate nearing full travel output: For operators with RPM sensors only. This output is activated when
the gate is three feet from full travel in both the open and close directions. This output can be used to
reduce the sensitivity of a proximity sensor near the ends of gate travel.
15. Gate Failure output: This output is activated to report that a problem has occurred. Indicates that
system in an Error Mode, Fault Mode or Entrapment Mode. If active, the gate is disabled.
16. Motor Running output: This output is active when the motor is running and the gate is in motion.
17. AC Power Failure output: This relay is normally energized, but drops with loss of AC power. This
output is also active on DC machines when the battery charger is off.
18. DC Power Failure output: This output is activated when the battery power is very low, but the output
ceases when the battery is dead. The relay is triggered when the battery is less than 20 Volts.
19. Flasher Relay: This output is intended to control flashing lights that pulse once per second. This
relay is flashing all the time, except when the open limit switch is triggered.
