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. 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
In typical installations, the LRA pulls the gate to open it inward. Set the
Controller for right hand operation regardless if the installation is a
left hand or right hand gate. This will make the open limit switch on the
motor end of the operator. Same for dual gate LRA2 installations.
In some installations, the LRA pushes the gate to open it outward. Set
the Controller for left hand operation regardless if the installation
is a left hand or right hand gate. This will make the close limit switch
on the motor end of the operator. Same for dual gate LRA2 installations.
Dual Gate Enable
This APeX programming function is only used for other models of
gate operators. DO NOT CHANGE THIS SETTING IN ANY LRA
INSTALLATION (SINGLE GATE OR DUAL GATE).
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.
