AUTO-CLOSE OVERRIDE
INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON or REMOTE
Press and hold the gate release for 3 seconds to override the auto-close.
If the auto-close function has been selected it can be conveniently and easily overridden for one cycle.
This override feature is activated by holding down the remote control push-button, or intercom gate release button (approximately 3 seconds), when opening the gate, until the gate stops. This confirms that the auto-close has been overridden. On releasing the button the gate will continue to open fully and remain open indefinitely.
Closing the gate by using either the transmitter or intercom gate release button automatically resets the system back to auto-close.
If the status LED (refer to section GATE STATUS indication below) is connected, an additional confirmation of the functioning of the override is provided while the button is held down. The status LED will stop flashing and remain ON when the auto-close has been overridden.
Protection Beam (optional but recommended)
An infra red beam, or underground loop
(connected to an inductive loop detector), across the gate entrance may be connected to the controller as an additional safety feature. For optimum protection when using infra red beams, two sets of beams should be used; one on the hingeline of the gates and the second just outside the arc of the gate travel.
When a motor vehicle activates the loop or beam the following occurs:
If the gate is closing, it will immediately stop and re-open.
If the gate is open, and the beam is broken, a trigger signal trying to close the gate will be ignored.
If the AUTO-CLOSE feature is selected, the gate will remain open while the beam is broken or loop is activated. If the beam or loop is cleared the gate will only close again after the normal auto-close time has expired.
