    10. Electrical setup 1. Always check that the circuit breaker in the electrical panel is in the OFF position, and that all high voltage circuits (more than 42.4V) are completely isolated from the mains supply before doing any work. 2. Ensure that all low voltage systems (less than 42.4V) are suitably protected from damage, by disconnecting all sources of power such as chargers and batteries before doing any work.
  • Page 27 3. Ensure that both the controller and the charger are effectively earthed for improved lightning protection. FIGURE 28 FIGURE 28 • Earth system at the gate using a copper earth spike. • Ensure that the system is connected to ESCOM or main earth. 4.

  • Page 35: Controller Features

    14. Controller features Inherent safety features Safety (Collision sensitivity) If the gate is obstructed, the internal collision circuitry will activate the gate whether opening or closing to just stop. The response of the system to a collision will vary according to the sensitivity level that has been set.
  • Page 36 Standard Mode via gate trigger  When stationary, a trigger impulse on TRG will cause the gate to either open or close. While the gate is moving, a trigger impulse on TRG will stop the gate. A third impulse on TRG will cause the gate to reverse its direction of travel, i.e.
  • Page 37 Outputs with associated features Gate status LED (LED)  External gate status indicator. This output provides a low current drive to light up a LED which can be used to indicate the gate status remotely. For instance if the gate is not visible from the intercom handset inside the house, which is used to communicate with a visitor at the gate and operate the gate, an LED fitted to the intercom, wired to the LED output on the gate controller, will give the necessary feedback about the status of the gate.
