Run Alarm And Pre-Start Alarm; Maximum Open Direction Current Setting; Maximum Close Direction Current Setting - Linear VS-GSWG Installation Manual

Basic Controller Programming (Cont.)

Run Alarm and Pre-start Alarm

The factory default is Run Alarm on and a 3-second Pre-start Alarm. The
operator's beeper will sound 3 seconds before the operator starts. The
options are:
• Run Alarm Off and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm Off
• Run Alarm On and Pre-start Alarm On for 1-9 Seconds

Maximum Open Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the operator
monitors its motor current. If the open current load exceeds the
programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop, reverse
a short distance, then stop again. The Auto Close Timer will be disabled,
and another open request will be required to start the operator again. If
after restart, the overload or an open obstacle happens again before the
open limit is reached, the operator will lockout and sound the alarm.
To measure the motor load used during opening, while this function is
being displayed, push and hold the OPEN button to fully open 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 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 (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal should
an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving under
normal conditions without interruption.

Maximum Close Direction Current Setting

To detect obstacles or mechanical problems with the gate, the
operator monitors its motor current. If the close current load exceeds
the programmed maximum load range number, the operator will stop,
reverse, and travel to the full open position. Should a open obstruction
input or an open direction inherent entrapment condition occur prior to
the gate reaching the open limit, the operator will lockout and sound the
continuous tone alarm. 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
sound the alarm. If the auto close timer is set, when the close obstruction
input is cleared, the gate will close when the auto close timer expires.
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 (50-75 lbs.) will activate a reversal
should an obstruction occur, but high enough to keep the gate moving
under normal conditions without interruption.
