Sensitivity Adjustment and Entrapment Alarm and Auto Close Setting
The control board has 2 sensitivity adjustment dials located on the left
side of the control board. These adjustments control the amount of
current the control board will allow the motor to draw from the battery
to operate your gate. Minimum force is the least amount of current
allowed. This circuit is inactive for the first second of gate operation.
PRO80 adjustment range is from 5 to 10 on the dial.
HD adjustment range is from 0 to 10 on the dial.
Both sensitivity settings should be individually adjusted on dual gate
systems. On single gate systems, adjust the setting for the actuator
plug being utilized (Gate 1 or Gate 2) and then match the setting on the
other sensitivity adjustment.
Entrapment alarm:
The entrapment alarm installed gives an audible alert whenever the
gate sensitivity feature is activated twice before gate reaches an open
or close limit. See chart step 23 for operation. Also used for low battery
audible notification.
Auto Close Setting:
Important:
Auto close should not be utilized unless safety devices are installed to prevent automatic
operation in case an object is in the path of the gate. See appendix B.
The adjustment dial controls the auto close time from approximately 2 seconds to 150 seconds. A
setting of 0 will be the fastest auto close time.
Verifying Inherent Entrapment Protection System (Type A) Operation:
Once the gate operator is installed use the table below to determine correct operation.
It is recommended that the current sensitivity adjustment for the gate being tested be set at a setting
no greater than 8 for PRO80 or 5 for HD when performing this test.
Gate Opening - Gate is stopped by an object
after 1 second of operation
Gate Closing - Gate is stopped first time by an
object after 1 second of operation
• Gate stops and reverses for ~ 2 seconds.
