  • Page 10: General Description

    The SECTOR electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy that is used in all CENTURION products. While this does not guarantee that the unit will not be damaged in the event of a lightning strike or power surge, it greatly reduces the likelihood of such damage occurring.

  • Page 17: Loop Detectors And Associated Functionality

    8. Loop detectors and associated functionality FLUX OB onboard vehicle loop detector Description Certain SECTOR models provide an onboard single-channel inductive loop detector known as the FLUX OB, eliminating the need for a separate detector. This highly sensitive loop detector can be used for the connection of closing loops and does not require additional relays and bases to be fitted, saving time and money.
  • Page 18 Uni-directional Free-exit switch The switch is used to select between uni- and bi-directional traffic. If the switch is in the ON position, the loop detector will generate a “raise” pulse whenever a vehicle is detected on the Free-exit loop. If, however, the switch is in the OFF position, a raise pulse will only be generated if a detect signal is received from the Free-exit loop only, and never when a signal is received from the Free-exit loop and the closing loop simultaneously (bi-directional traffic)
  • Page 19: Flux Ob Diagnostics

    Detect indicator LED This green LED indicator is illuminated when there is a vehicle detected. This LED can also be used to determine the loop frequency. Reset or power up, count the number of times the Detect LED flashes. Multiply this number by 10KHz. For example: if the LED flashes eight times, then the loop frequency is approximately 80KHz Commissioning the FLUX OB With the loop connected, apply power to the SECTOR controller.
  • Page 20 Separate loop detector module If your SECTOR vehicle traffic barrier has not been fitted with an onboard inductive loop detector, it is possible to install an external detector using one or both of the bases provided on the SECTOR termination board. Bases are provided for both Free-exit and closing loop connections.
  • Page 21: Selecting Operating Mode

    However, the loop can be made to function as a closing loop if ILAC Mode is enabled. ILAC Mode, which is comparable to PIRAC Mode as found on CENTURION gate motors, causes the boom to auto-lower as soon as the inductive loop is cleared, i.e. the vehicle moves off.
  • Page 22: Plc Mode

    As with Simplex Mode described above, the input activates the moment that the button is pressed. CENTURION recommends that an inductive loop detector, such as the one provided onboard, is used as the closing loop. This also acts as a safety loop while the vehicle is present on the loop detector.
  • Page 23: Cabling Requirements

    The cable requirements differ according to the mode that you have selected. All cables must be routed in conduit unless underground cable is being used For the detection of vehicles, CENTURION recommends installing Inductive Loop Detectors in preference to infrared beams 1.

    3b. Free-exit for bi-directional traffic To mains supply Direction of travel exiting FIGURE 7. FREE-EXIT FOR UNI-DIRECTIONAL TRAFFIC CABLING x refers to the distance required between the loops for free-exit Free-exit for uni-directional traffic, x must be greater than 1000mm If FLUX OB is fitted, set the UNI-DIR FRX dipswitch to the ON position For bi-directional traffic, x must be less than the length of an average motor vehicle (between 1000mm and 2000mm).
  • Page 25: Orientation

    11. Orientation It is always recommended to mount the barrier with its access door facing the oncoming traffic. This ensures that if a vehicle accidentally hits the pole, the pole is knocked away from the barrier housing, not back onto the barrier housing, potentially damaging the housing.

A sixth step will disable collision sensing entirely, allowing maximum force to be achieved. The motor will only shut down when its stall point is reached.

In such a case, the XIO of one operator will be connected to LCK of the other, XIO set as the desired indication, and the indication set to be ON only for a CLOSED status.
