Advanced Controller Programming (Cont.)
Maintenance Alert Trigger
The Controller has a MAINT ALERT indicator that can be programmed
to light when the number of activations exceeds a set number of cycles.
The factory default sets the Maintenance Alert Trigger to 10,000 cycles.
The Maintenance Alert Trigger can be programmed for 5, 10, 15, or 25
thousand cycles.
The Maintenance Cycle Count can be reset independently from the
operator’s absolute Cycle Count.
Mid-travel Stop Position
The Controller can be programmed so the gate will stop at a mid-travel
point instead of fully opening. This can be useful in installations where a
large gate, that takes a long time to open and close fully, only needs to
be opened partway to allow traffi c to pass.
The factory default sets the Controller for full open operation. Alternately,
the Controller can be programmed to open for 1 to 99 seconds then stop,
before reaching the open limit.
When a Mid-travel Stop Position time has been programmed, the gate
will still fully open if the Fire Department input is triggered, if the OPEN
button is held down beyond the Mid-travel Stop Position, or a close
obstruction or reverse loop input is triggered.
Anti-tailgate Enable
The factory default sets the Anti-tailgate Enable to OFF. With this setting,
during a gate cycle, after the shadow loop has been triggered by the
vehicle and then has cleared after the vehicle passes, the Auto Close
Timer or a CLOSE command is required to begin closing the gate.
If the Anti-tailgate Enable is set to ON, the gate will close immediately
as soon as the shadow loop has cleared. Any subsequent shadow loop
triggers while the gate is closing will stop the gate. When the shadow loop
clears, the gate will continue closing.
Motor Type Selection
The factory sets the default for the Controller to match the type of motor
in the operator. When the Controller is used with the Model LRA
Linear Residential Actuator leave this setting at the factory default.
