CONTROL BOARD SETUP
Obstruction Sensor (Primary Entrapment Protection)
!IMPORTANT: The appropriate “ODS” setting is dependant upon the gate installation and construction. Set this feature accordingly. Additional Safety equipment should be used to reduce possible risk of injury or vehicle damage.
“ODS” Obstruction Detection Sensor
The Obstruction Sensor detects obstructions in the path of the traveling gate. The dial sets the amount of force required to activate the operators inherent obstruction detection.
Setting the dial to “0” will require the least amount of force to activate;
Setting the dial to “100” will require the maximum amount of force to activate.
UL325 standard requires an audio alarm to go off after two consecutive entrapment events sensed by the Inherent Entrapment Protection of the Gate Operator.
The audio alarm will sound for a period of 5 minutes or until a Stop command has been actuated. See page 12 for more information.
When the Obstruction Sensor detects an obstruction it will:
1.Stop the gate’s movement and reverse it momentarily.
2.Bring the gate to a resting position.
3.Disable the Hold Open Timer feature until the Gate Operator receives a new command.
If second obstruction is detected before the gate reaches either limit it will:
1.Stop the gate’s movement.
2.Disable the Gate Operator.
3.Sound the UL Alarm
4.A STOP command must be provided to disable the alarm and continue operation.
!TECHNICAL TIP: The Status LED for the “ODS” will indicate the following when it has been triggered.
A.Solid: Obstruction.
Detected a sudden or abrupt increase in gate resistance.
B.Flashing: Overload.
Detected a more subtle, but sustained increase in gate resistance.
