  • Page 6: Introduction

    INTRODUCTION ESCRIPTION The DG-Mini door controller has been specifically designed for industrial doors and gates. The controller provides variable motor speed and control as well as monitoring and response to external inputs. The DG-Mini door controller incorporates a comprehensive range of configurable parameters that allows the door/gate manufacturer and installer to configure for optimal performance.

  • Page 51: Frequencies

    This menu is used to adjust the various speeds used by the DG-Mini during operation of the door. Since the speed of the motor is directly proportional to the frequency of the voltage applied to it, the DG-Mini is able to control the door’s speed by controlling both the voltage and frequency during door movement.
