Timers:

 Set time for count down timers Timer 1 and Timer 2. Settings 

between 1 second and 9 hours in 1 second increments. 

Events:

 Up to 8 weekly events (EV1 through EV8) can be programmed and 

stored. Each event can be programmed to trigger at a specific time and can 

26.1 - Force 

Static:

 Set sensitivity to constant force on a scale of 1 to 10 (1 being the 

most sensitive). 

Dynamic:

 Set sensitivity of sudden impact force to the moving gate on a 

scale of 1 to 10 (1 being most sensitive). 

ESC:

 Exit the FORCE menu. 

26.2 - Speed 

Max:

 Sets the limit of maximum allowed gate speed on a scale of 20% to 

100% (20% being the lowest setting). 

Standard:

 Sets the limit of the gate speed during normal movement (not soft 

start/stop) on a scale of 20% to MAX (20% being the lowest setting). 

Low:

 Sets the limit of the gate speed while in LEARNING mode and when 

moving in SLOW, on a scale of 20% to 100% (20% being the lowest setting). 

Slowdown:

 Set gate speed when going into approaching the open or close 

limits on a scale of 20% to 100% (20% being the lowest setting). 

26.3 - Acceleration 

Max:

 Sets the limit of gate acceleration when reversing the gate after an 

obstacle has been detected by the UL/Edge or current sense feature (Force). 

Settings from 3 to 10, with 10 being the highest rate of gate acceleration. * 

Standard:

 Sets the limit of the gate acceleration in normal operation. 

Settings from 1 to MAX, with MAX being the highest rate of gate acceleration. 

* *TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE GATE OR THE CONTROLLER USE 

LOWER ACCELERATION SETTINGS FOR HEAVIER GATES. 

ESC:

 Exit the SPEED menu. 

26.4 - Delay 

Auto Close:

 Sets the timeout before the gate closes automatically from the 

fully open position. Settings from 0 (off) to 90 seconds. Setting this to 0 will 

disable the auto close timer. 

Slave:

 Sets the delay for opening the slave gate leaf in a Master/Slave (Motor 

1 and Motor 2 operation), (dual gate) system. Settings from 0 to 5 seconds 

with a step of 0.5 seconds. 

Lamp/Strobe:

 Sets the amount of time the Lamp accessory output is 

activated prior to gate movement. Settings from 0 to 5 seconds with a step 

of 0.5 seconds. 

Lock:

 Sets the amount of time the Magnetic Lock accessory output is 

activated to disable the lock when opening the gate. Settings from 0 to 5 

seconds with a step of 0.5 seconds. 

Run Time:

 Sets the maximum run time for the gate. Used in case the gate 

doesn’t reach its limits. Settings from 15 to 120 seconds with a step of 1 

second. 

ESC:

 Exit the DELAY menu. 

26.5 - Function 

Learn:

 Puts the gate operator into learning mode for a Swing or Slide gate, 

and Blue BUS peripherals. Learning mode for a Swing or Slide style gate 

involves selecting the gate type (Light, Average, Heavy), then fully opening 

and closing the gate to sense the limits. Selecting the gate type selects 

pre-calculated values for the FORCE, SPEED, and ACCELERATION settings. 

Learning the Blue BUS peripherals enables the gate operator to discover and 

integrate accessory devices like Blue BUS access control and safety devices. 

Positions

: Configures the points in the gate open, close, and partial cycles 

at which deceleration occurs. 
• Slow Down – Open: Sets the point in the % of gate opening when the gate 

begins deceleration to the fully open position.
