Basic Controller Programming
Programming Overview
The Controller can be programmed with various options for the operator.
The programming fi elds are defi ned as “functions” that have “options”.
To make setup easier for the installer, the Controller’s programming is
divided into two groups: basic and advanced. The basic programming
group contains the functions commonly used in most swing gate
installations. The advanced programming group contains functions less
commonly used (i.e. dual gate stagger delay, maximum run timer, etc.).
Entering Programming Mode
Enter programming mode by pressing the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons
together for one second. While in programming mode the
PROGRAM
indicator will light.
Exiting Programming Mode
Exit programming mode at any time by pressing the
UP
and
DOWN
buttons together. The Controller will automatically exit programming
mode after three minutes of inactivity.
Programming Keystrokes
(Typical Programming Method)
While in programming mode, press the
UP
or
DOWN
buttons to scroll
through the programming functions. When the desired function is
displayed press the
ENTER
button to display the currently set option for
the function.
When an option is displayed, the decimal points are lit.
To change the option, press and hold the
ENTER
button for 1 second. To
indicate that an option is ready to be changed, the display will fl ash. While
the display is fl ashing, press the
UP
or
DOWN
button to display the other
options available for that function.
When the desired option is displayed, press the
ENTER
button to store
it into memory. To select another function, press
ENTER
,
UP
, or
DOWN
.
Left or Right Hand Operation
The factory default is for right hand operation (operator on right side of
the driveway when viewed from the inside of the gate). For left hand
installations, program the Controller for left hand operation.
Dual Gate Enable
The factory default is for single gate operation. For dual gate operation,
wire the two gate controllers together through the
COMM LINK
terminals
(see Page 21) and enable dual gate operation with this programming
step.
✓
NOTE:
The Mid-travel Stop feature is disabled when dual gate
operation is enabled for paired units.
Auto Close Timer
The factory default turns off the Auto Close Timer. The timer can be set
from 1 to 59 seconds and from 1 to 9 minutes. When the Auto Close
Timer is set, after opening, the gate will wait for the length of the Auto
Close Timer then close automatically.
