BL 229 5.8. CALIBRATION OF THE ANALOG SENSOR THE GATE WILL NOW MOVE TO DETERMINE THE UP AND DOWN POSITION! 1. Place the gate arm in the closed position; 2. Disconnect the RJ45 connector of the frequency converter to prevent gate arm from moving.
The factory settings allow the frequency drive and gear motor to be protected against all malfunctions. These values should therefore not be changed under any circumstances. ANY CHANGES TO THESE PARAMETERS WITHOUT HAVING THE EXPRESS PERMISSION OF AUTOMATIC SYSTEMS WILL VOID THE PRODUCT WARRANTY The frequency converter is a Schneider Altivar ATV12 connected in Modbus.
