functions

3.1.8. Positive Close Mode

Positive Close Mode (PCM) allows the gate to drive up hard to an endstop
without causing the anti-crush mechanism to operate. This feature only
operates during the last few millimetres of piston travel when the gate is
closing. (See note on the next page)
This feature is used to firmly engage two leaves together of a double
swing gate installation without having to fit mechanical endstops. A
mechanical 'lip' is fitted to one leaf which will push up against the other
leaf, and with PCM it will keep pushing until the gates are mechanically
locked.
To ensure that the gates do not close past their desired end point, the
leaf against which the leaf with the mechanical lip pushes can be preset
to stop slightly short of its closed position. This is referred to as the
'Short Stop' distance. If the 'Short Stop' distance is correctly set, the
pushing leaf will engage with the other leaf sufficiently before the closed
position and via the PCM, push the two leaves into the fully closed
position, but not past.
Contact your gate automation specialist for assistance.
The Holiday Lockout function
can also be used as an
Emergency Stop function.
Mount an emergency stop
pushbutton in a weatherproof
housing near the gate and
you can bring your gate to an
immediate stop with just one
press. The emergency stop
button must be reset before
the gate can be operated
again.
Emergency Stop will override normal Holiday Lockout Mode
functions
If somebody tries to operate the gate via a valid access control
device, such as a remote control, etc. with Emergency Stop, the
onboard buzzer will beep periodically for 30 seconds to confirm that
the gate has been disabled using this feature.
The Emergency Stop is typically used at a manned entrance so
that security is not compromised with a would-be intruder
possibly gaining access to the Emergency Stop button. In a
domestic situation you can set up one of your remote push-
buttons to operate the Emergency Stop without compromising
your security
