SMART SYSTEMS FOR ACCESS CONTROL
NOTE:
Double-mode DIP switch settings will not be used
with a single gate and should always remain in the
OFF position.
NOTE:
Your Zareba Automatic Gate Opener receiver is
compatible with built-in vehicle transmitter systems,
such as HomeLink. Refer to your vehicle owner’s manual
for instruction on how to program.
CONTROL BOARD SETTINGS
You have several optional gate opener settings that are
controlled via the DIP switches located inside the con-
trol box.
DIP Switch Settings and Descriptions
(fig. 33)
DIP Switch 1 – Soft Start/Stop
The soft start and stop function slowly starts the gate as
it begins to move, and slowly stops the gate as it begins
to stop. If in extended mode, this feature may prolong
the life of your gate opener system, due to less wear on
the actuator (opener).
DIP Switch 2 – Warning Buzzer
The warning buzzer provides several different alarms.
When the gate begins to move, the warning buzzer will
sound an alarm for two seconds. It also sounds an alarm
when an obstruction occurs twice in any given cycle.
The obstruction alarm cannot be disabled by turning
this DIP switch to the OFF position.
DIP Switch 3 – Automatic Close
When this DIP switch is in the ON position, the gate will
automatically close after a period of time. The length of
time is determined by DIP switches 6 and 7. When this
DIP switch is OFF, the gate will stay open until a signal
is sent to close the gate. The signal can come from a
transmitter, keypad, or push button control.
DIP Switch 4 – Push- or Pull-to-Open
This switch is defaulted to the OFF position as that is the
setting for Pull-to-Open. Pull-to-Open is where the gate
swings into the property. When the switch is in the ON
position, the system will work in Push-to-Open applica-
tions or when the gate swings out from the property.
DIP Switch 5 – Momentary or Constant Pressure
The default position is OFF. This switch should be left in
the OFF position unless a constant pressure push button
device is being used. This is typically done when a gate
attendant or guard is operating the gate. The gate then
can only be opened when constant pressure is applied
to a push button device.
DIP Switch 6 and 7 – Delay Time for Automatic
Close
Setting these two switches in a specific configuration
will determine the delay time before the gate will auto-
matically close. DIP switch 3 must be in the ON position
for these two switches to be in effect. See the accompa-
nying table for settings.
DIP Switch 8 – Not Used
CONTROL BOX SETTING
NOTE:
When adjusting a DIP switch, the unit must be
powered off momentarily to accept the change.
