ENABLING THE FIRE DEPARTMENT
OVERRIDE
Many counties and cities require a Fire Department
override system for gate operators. The fire
department's alert system is a separate unit that
must be connected to the Smart DC Controller.
The FIRE DEPARTMENT OPEN option must be
properly configured through the Installer Menu
before the operator will recognize the fire open
input..
To enable the Fire Department Override, take the
following steps and see Figure 54 and Figure 55:
1. Connect the NO contact from the alert system
or key switch to the following Smart DC
Controller terminals: EMERG OPEN and +24V.
2. Configure the Installer Menu. At a gate status
display, press the MENU button twice. This
accesses the User Menu and the CLOSE TIMER
display appears.
3. Simultaneously, press the OPEN and RESET
buttons to enter the Installer Menu. Release
the buttons and the USAGE CLASS display
appears. It is the first item in the Installer Menu.
4. Press NEXT until the FIRE DEPARTMENT
OPEN display appears. The factory default
setting is 0.
5. Use the NEXT button to change the number
on the display to 1 and then press SELECT.
6. To exit the Installer Menu, press the MENU
button. The gate status appears in the display
indicating you have returned to Run Mode.
