Auto-Close Override; Protection Beam - Centurion R3 User Manual

AUTO-CLOSE OVERRIDE

INTERCOM PUSHBUTTON or REMOTE
If the auto-close function has been selected it can be conveniently and easily overridden for one cycle.
This override feature is activated by holding down the remote control push-button, or intercom gate
release button (approximately 3 seconds), when opening the gate, until the gate stops. This confirms that
the auto-close has been overridden. On releasing the button the gate will continue to open fully and
remain open indefinitely.
Closing the gate by using either the transmitter or intercom gate release button automatically resets the
system back to auto-close.
If the status LED (refer to section GATE STATUS indication below) is connected, an additional
confirmation of the functioning of the override is provided while the button is held down. The status LED
will stop flashing and remain ON when the auto-close has been overridden.

If the gate is closing, it will immediately stop and re-open.

If the gate is open, and the beam is broken, a trigger signal trying to close the gate will be ignored.

If the AUTO-CLOSE feature is selected, the gate will remain open while the beam is broken or loop is
activated. If the beam or loop is cleared the gate will only close again after the normal auto-close time
has expired.
Press and hold the gate
release for 3 seconds to
override the auto-close.
Protection Beam (optional
but recommended)
An infra red beam, or underground loop
(connected to an inductive loop detector), across
the gate entrance may be connected to the
controller as an additional safety feature. For
optimum protection when using infra red beams,
two sets of beams should be used; one on the
hingeline of the gates and the second just outside
the arc of the gate travel.
When a motor vehicle activates the loop or beam
the following occurs:
