Stall Force/Hindrance Detection
18
higher the stall force is adjusted while opening resp. closing the
gate, the lower the hindrance detection will be.
For checking the hindrance detection, proceed as follows:
1. Place a rigid object along the gate path and operate the sliding
gate opener until it touches the rigid object while opening resp.
closing the gate. As soon as the gate touches the rigid object, it
must stop movement and reverse to opposite direction.
2. If the gate does not reverse, increase the fine adjustment of the
hindrance detection accordingly; by turning the potentiometer
counter clockwise.
Hints:
If fine adjustment of the hindrance detection is set too high, it might
happen that the gate will reverse very easily in case of very low
resistance, e. g. due to strong wind, heavy snow fall or branches
resp. twigs in the moving path of the gate.
