RAMP DOWN DISTANCE
Sets the ramp-down distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when stopping. This
setting applies to both motors.
CRAWL DISTANCE
Sets the final crawl distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when reaching an
endpoint. This setting applies to both motors.
PUSH FORCE LIMIT
Sets the maximum push force delivered by the motors. The maximum setting is a value
of 15 and the minimum is 4. This is useful in cases where limited push force is required.
This setting applies to both motors.
IR BEAMS – MENU 6
In a swing gate installation, in order to provide protection for a person or vehicle moving through
the entrance, it is necessary to have two sets of beams, one across the driveway where the gates
are closed and another where the gates are open. Both these beams must be set as closing safety
beams, preventing the gate from closing and stop the gates if they have started to close.
However across the line of the driveway up to where the gates open, it is also recommended to
have another set of safety beams to prevent the gate from
opening if they are closed and stop if they are opening.
Two independent normally closed inputs are provided for
opening and closing safety beams. An interrupted closing
beam will prevent the gates from closing and stop and
reverse the gates back to the open position if already
opening. Vice-versa for a closing beam. Additional beam
functionality is provided:
PIRAC
Passive-Infra-Red Auto-Close causes the gates
to automatically close as soon as a vehicle has
passed through the closing beams. This
security feature ensures that the gate stays
open for the minimum time possible.
If the AUTO-CLOSE feature has been enabled
when the gate is triggered to open, but nothing
moves through / breaks the closing beam, the
gates will open fully and stay open for the
period of time determined by the AUTO-CLOSE
timer. However, if at any stage, while the gate is
opening or standing open waiting to close, the
beams are broken, the gates will close immediately.
SAFE OUTPUT STATUS
Automatically tests the safety beams before each gate cycle. (eg as required by CE and
Ul325).
NB: In order for this feature to work, the power supply negative of the beam receiver and
beam transmitter must be wired to the SAF COM terminal of the controller.
IRBO=IRBC
Configures the opening beam to act as a closing beam
while the gates are closing. This allows one set of
beams to be used across the line of the driveway up to
where the gates open.
IR BEAM ALARMS
While the gates are fully closed, this feature allows the
following alarms:
AMBUSH ALARM
Activates an alarm if either the opening or closing beams have been continuously
interrupted for a predefined time. The alarm will remain activated while the beams are
interrupted.
For example; if a would-be intruder
covers the beams so that when the gates
are opened the gates will stay open, the
system will detect this beam override
taking place and set off an alarm.
IRB BROKEN TIME
The time that the beams must be
interrupted before the alarm is activated.
BREAK IN ALARM
Activates an alarm if the closing beam on the outside of the property is interrupted. The
alarm remains activated while the beams are broken and for a period of 30 seconds
thereafter. This time is fixed.
For example; if a would-be intruder is
loitering at the entrance, as soon as the
beams are broken an alarm will be set
off.
NB: If this alarm is used, it is
recommended that TWO parallel
closing beams are used to reduce the
chance of false triggering.
ALARM OUTPUT
The system can be configured to operate one of the following outputs provided on the
controller:
?
Onboard buzzer – emits a continuous tone
?
Pillar / Courtesy light contact (potential free normally open contact, fused
protected – 5A)
?
Safety beam common (this is an open collector drive, max current draw 3A, not
fuse protected)
?
Solenoid lock output (this is an open collector drive, max current draw 3A, not
fuse protected)
?
Status LED output (operate up to 3 LEDs in parallel or interface with multi LED
driver card, CP78)
