Collision Count; Infrared Safety Beam (Optional But Recommended); Closing Safety Beams; Opening Safety Beams - Centurion Vector2 User Manual

3.3.1. Collision Count


A counter monitors the number of collisions the gate experiences
before it fully closes. If the number exceeds the default value of
four, which can be adjusted in the Multiple Collisions Counter, the
controller will shut down. The Status LED (page 18) will flash four
times every two seconds until a valid trigger is received.
Please refer to Gate Status Indication (page 18) for more
information on this diagnostic device.
3.4. Infrared Safety Beam
3.4.1. Closing Safety

Beams

Closing Safety Beams

provide additional protection
against your gate closing on
people, pets or vehicles.
If the closing beam is broken
while the gate is opening, it
will continue to open. If the
gate is open, the gate
cannot be closed and if the
gate is closing, it will stop
and reopen.
If you select the Autoclose
(page 8) feature, the gate
will remain open if the beam
is broken and only close
after the set Autoclose time
has expired when the beam
has cleared.
You can use other protection devices like an inductive ground loop
instead of an infrared beam, but loops are only sensitive to the
presence of a vehicle (large metal objects) and provide no
protection to people or other objects in the path of the gate.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on suitable
protection devices.

3.4.2. Opening Safety Beams


These beams prevent your gate from opening if an object or person
is in the way.
If the beams are broken while the gate is closed, the gate will not
open. If the gate is opening, it will stop then close. If the gate is
closing, it will continue to close.
Please contact CENTURION for more information on suitable
protection devices.
