object.

Margin Example

Motor is running at 2 Amps and the margin is set to 1.5 Amps, an obstruction detect will occur at
3.5 Amps (Normal Running Current + Margin).
For high margin settings, the supply transformer should be large enough to supply the high margin
current.
If the gate/door hits an object on closing it will automatically stop and then re-open. If the gate/door hits
an object on opening it will automatically stop.
