Advance settings menu The settings described in this document can be changed during the first installation of the Venus device or after reconnecting to the device via the application. When setting up for the first time, the device will allow us to go to the settings after performing the first calibration. If you want to change the settings of Venus, which is already installed on the gateway, simply connect to the device through the app and skip the gateway configuration to directly go to advanced settings.
Manual mode This mode should be selected if the lock or keep is mechanical and the Venus is unable to control the lock or keep. The user must manually open the gate and make an opening movement, after a few degrees, this will be detected and Venus automatically opens the gate up to the desired opening angle.
Automatic mode This mode should be selected if the lock or keep is electrical and the Venus can control it. Please remember that Venus support only 24V DC output power signal. The user doesn’t need to manually open the gate. Venus takes full control for opening and closing cycle. Controlling the gate can be done •...
Slimstone-2, etc.). The output signal is 24V DC type, max. current 2A, that’s mean the total output power that Venus can give is 48W. If we overload the Venus outputs, the device automatically will shut down all terminals to prevent short circuit. Then the device goes into error mode: •...
Lock Important: This option is automatically set up during first configuration of the gate, because Venus automatically detects the type of electric lock or keep. The Lock option allows selecting the correct type of the lock. This option can be changed after the first installation if the installer would like to change the lock type or add a new lock that can be controled by Venus.
This time can be set in the light settings on the second page of the advanced settings. Light -> Activation time Courtesy light 2024-09-23 – rev1 Locinox NV, Brabantstraat 107, 8790 Waregem, Belgium T: +32 56 77 27 66 sales@locinox.com www.locinox.com...
Input signal is a signal that control Venus from outside (e.g. push button, Slimstone-2, intercom, photocells, etc.). Input Venus terminals are a dry contact. This mean, the control signals can’t have any voltage. If control signal has voltage value, it is mandatory to use a relay between the control device and Venus.
Control device Configuring the control device option allows the Venus device to be controlled by a control signal from another device or control element. Control device option setting has two configurable options: • Command option allows to properly configure Venus operation in various modes, which are described further in the document.

Closes the gate. If the gate is in closed position, the motor will also try to close the gate until a hard stop is detected. 2024-09-23 – rev1 Locinox NV, Brabantstraat 107, 8790 Waregem, Belgium T: +32 56 77 27 66 sales@locinox.com...

Opens the gate only when the signal is active. If the signal is removed while the gate is opening, then Venus will close the gate. When the open position is reached, Venus will stay open as long as there is an active signal on the input.
While opening Controls the Venus operation during the opening of the gate. If the option is set to anything except ignore, a triggered safety sensor will also prevent the gate from starting an opening motion. Choosing this configuration we can set up different motor behaviors during the opening the gate: •...

(depends on the chosen type NO/NC). While closing Controls the Venus operation during the closing of the gate. If the option is set to anything except ignore, a triggered safety sensor will also prevent the gate from starting a closing motion.
Motor settings After configuring and saving the parameters for the I/O of Venus, the application moves to the second page, which allows to configure the operation of the electric motor and the lights parameters. The Venus electric motor can be configured with the following functions: •...
The number of attempts to close the gate, in case of a collision during closing. In the event of a collision, the gate returns to the open position, and after the pause time, the Venus attempts to close the gate again.
Set the delay time between the opening command and the actual opening of the gate. The options are: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 3 or 5 seconds. This optimum value is automatically set by Venus during the calibration step (option 5 seconds not included). This function could be used with maglocks to compensate for the demagnetizing time.
Push the gate against the keep in closed position for 0.5 second to release wind pressure from the lock before opening. After that time, Venus will automatically open the gate. The default is disabled. This function should be used in combination with Electradrop. The push in the closing direction starts with the pre-flash.
This option is advisable for qualified people who have the skills and knowledge of the correct configuration of the electric motor. Locinox assumes no responsibility for the Venus device not being installed and configured correctly. Be sure to comply with the relevant standards at the installation site and adapt the requirements to local laws.

The gate only starts the movement after the pre-flash time has finished. This function should be set to at least 3 seconds if the Venus is combined with Electradrop, to allow for the bolt to lift.
