Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)
Maximum Close Direction Current Setting
To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator
can monitor its motor current. If the close current load exceeds the
programmed maximum load range number, the gate arm will stop,
reverse, and travel to the full open position. Another close request will
be required to start the operator again. If after restart, the overload or
a close obstacle happens again before the close limit is reached, the
operator will lockout and activate the alarm output. If the auto close timer
is set, when the close obstruction input is cleared, the gate arm will close
when the auto close timer expires.
The factory default setting of “OF” disables the close direction
current sensing for the operator. The maximum close direction
current setting can be adjusted using the following procedure:
To measure the motor load used during closing, while this function is
being displayed, push and hold the CLOSE button to close the gate.
During movement, the motor current will be displayed as a load number
from 0 to 99. This number is useful for troubleshooting but not used for
setting the motor current. At the end of travel, a different number will fl ash.
This number indicates the range above and below the average motor
current during the run. Using the + and - buttons, set the programmed
range number so that a minimal force will activate a reversal should an
obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate arm operating under
normal conditions without interruption.
Advanced Controller Programming
Entering Advanced Programming Mode
To access and program the Advanced Programming functions, for each
programming session, Advanced Programming must be enabled.
After exiting programming, the Advanced Programming functions
will be available on the programming display during the next
programming session unless the operator has run 50 or more
cycles. After that, Advanced Programming must be enabled again.
Maximum Run Time
The factory default for the Maximum Run Time (MRT) is 10 seconds.
When the operator starts, a timer will begin counting. If a open or close
limit is not reached or an obstacle or reversing input is not received before
the timer expires, the operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm
sounds. The timer can be set for 10 to 99 seconds, but should be left at
10 seconds in most applications. Setting it too close to the actual run time
may cause the time to expire with changing ambient temperature, gate
conditions, etc…
If AC is present and an open or close limit is not reached or an obstacle
or reversing input is not received before this timer exceeds MRT, the
operator will stop, the unit locks out and the alarm sounds.
In the case that AC is not present and MRT expires, it will be ignored as
long as the actual run time is under 10 seconds. When the gate reached
full open or full close position, MRT will be interpreted as fail safe/secure.
EN05 will occur. If FS as set to fail safe, the gate will open. If FS is set to
fail secure, the gate will close. However, if the actual run time is higher
than 10 seconds, it will be interpreted as a physical mechanical problem,
EN01 will occur and the gate will stop immediately.
