Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)

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

Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off

Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 1-9 Seconds

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 fl ash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run.

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, and travel to the full open position. Should a open obstruction input or an open direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to the gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and sound the continuous tone alarm. 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. If the auto close timer is set, when the close obstruction input is cleared, the gate will close when the auto close timer expires.

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 fl ash. This number indicates the range above and below the average motor current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed 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.
