Fine adjustment 

Fine  adjustments  set  the  safe 
running  of  the  gate.  Follow  the 
order below. Extra activation and 
safety  devices  can  be  wired  in 
after  these  adjustments  without 
the need to re-adjust.  
 
 

RV.

    Mid travel speed. The gate should only run 

fast when it is at least 500mm clear of know 
objects. Set heavy gates to run slower.                                 
__________________________________ 

LV.

    Speed at slow start & slow stop. Set to close 

the gate firmly against the post. LV is a preset 
percentage of the total run time. 
__________________________________ 

Force

.  Regulates the maximum force applied by the 

motor before obstacle detection kicks in. Set 
it high enough to move the gate reliably, yet 
still reverse on an obstacle.                                 
__________________________________ 

Timer

. Sets the default run time (30-63 secs). If the 

motor fails to find a physical stop. It timesout. 

 
Refer to safety tutorial for force test limits. The safe 
force limits need to be observed. Adjusting the first 
3 settings will help comply. The adjustments above 
should not affect the limit learning. Small changes in 
physical  limits  may  be  necessary  but  big  changes 
will need the limit learning to be repeated.

Limit learning - DIP8 

RIO-X uses encoder feedback from the motors to 
monitor movement. On a test run, it can detect 
the ends of travel set by physical stops allowing 
it to find its own limits and set slow down points. 

 

The DIPs and remotes should have been set. The 
four  blue  pots  should  be  set  to  10  o’clock  (as 
picture opposite). Pots will be fine set later. 

 

Close  the  gates  (this  may  need  a  12V  battery). 
Set DIP8 to ON. Press STEP to start learning.
