Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm

The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre‑start Alarm. The operator’s beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The options are:

•Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off

Maximum Open Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled, and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to fully open the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not for setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will flash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range number above the indicated range number, so that a minimal force (30- 40 lbs. at 10-feet) will activate a reversal should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption.

Maximum Close Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse a short distance, then stop again. Another close request will be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or a close obstacle happens again before the close limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.

To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate. During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not used for setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will flash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed range number above the measured flashing range number, so that a minimal force (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under normal conditions without interruption.
