User guide

If the gate is opening with the automatic closing facility selected, and the transmitter is then pressed, the
Most automatic gate installations are fitted with an intercom which provides for communication between
the house and the gate.
The intercom handset is usually provided with a GATE or DOOR RELEASE pushbutton which, when
pressed, sends a signal to the gate controller to open the gate.
The sequence of operation of this pushbutton is identical to the operation when using the radio transmit-
ter as described above.
REVERSING MODE
The system offers an alternative mode of operation to the above. Referred to as reversing mode, if the
transmitter is pressed while the gate is moving, the gate will automatically reverse direction. This mode
offers greater security than STANDARD mode as the gate can never be left in a midway position.
CONDOMINIUM MODE
The system can be set for CONDOMINIUM operation. This facility is designed for greater safety and
security, in applications where there will be a number of users, such as the entrance to a townhouse
estate, factory or office park.
In CONDOMINIUM mode the gate is opened by pressing the pushbutton on the remote transmitter or
intercom. If the system is re-triggered while the gate is opening, the signal is ignored and the gate will
continue to open. The gate closes automatically as per the AUTO-CLOSE facility described later in this
user guide. In CONDOMINIUM mode the AUTO-CLOSE cannot be overridden. If the remote transmitter or
intercom pushbutton is pressed while the gate is closing the gate will immediately reopen.
The gate cannot be stopped in a midway position and will therefore always close.
If the gate is triggered while the gate is in the open position, the AUTO-CLOSE timer is reset.
NOTE: It is highly recommended that a protection beam be used in conjunction with this facility to
prevent the AUTO-CLOSE from closing the gate onto a vehicle passing through.
PIRAC (PASSIVE INFRA RED AUTO-CLOSE)
This facility is an extension of the CONDOMINIUM facility described above. It is designed for applications
gate will stop, but will close automatically after the auto-close delay time.
