2. General description

Page 6

The VECTOR2 operator has been designed to safely and cost-effectively automate a wide
variety of swing gates, from single light-domestic swing gates to heavy industrial double
swing gates.

The fail-safe and fully redundant position and Collision Detection system has been
designed and tested to set the standard in safety of operation and to provide an
unparalleled level of reliability and durability in operation.

The gate Travel Limits are managed by a sealed double-redundant opto-electronic system
that has been designed not only to ensure ultra-reliable operation, but also to ensure
precise position and trajectory control. This enables very accurate and reliable collision
detection to ensure safe operation even under trying conditions.

The VECTOR2 control card has been designed to be easy and intuitive to use with helpful
instructions on the status of the operation during and after the installation. It also has a
built-in diagnostic procedure that can verify every aspect of the control card on site.

Some of the advanced features offered by the VECTOR2 controller are:



Fully automated single button Limit Setup for single and double swing gates



Full graphics LCD display provides an intuitive user interface with built-in diagnostics to
speed up and simplify the installation process



Separate safety inputs for sensitive edges or beams on both the closing and opening
directions of the gate



Advanced closed-loop speed control to maintain safe and reliable operation on inclined
gates under windy conditions



Fully configurable gate Run Profiles



Selectable and adjustable Autoclose with pushbutton override



Pedestrian (Partial) opening with automatic closure



Free-exit input



Positive Close Mode



Multiple Modes of Operation



Solenoid lock drive output up to 2A



Holiday Lockout



A status LED output to indicate the gate status remotely



Pillar Light control



Leaf delay selectable for either gate leaf



Lightning protection

The VECTOR2 electronic controller utilises the same proven surge protection philosophy
that is used in all CENTURION products. While this does not guarantee that the unit will
not be damaged in the event of a lightning strike or power surge, it greatly reduces the
likelihood of such damage occurring. The earth return for the surge protection is provided
via the mains power supply earth. In order to ensure that the surge protection is
effective, it is essential that the unit is properly earthed.

7. Preparation of site

General considerations for the installation



Always recommend the fitment of additional safety equipment such as safety edges
and safety beams, for additional protection against entrapment or other mechanical
risks



Check that no pipes or electrical cables are in the way of the intended installation



Check that enough space is available for the gate operator with the gate in the required
open position. (See Figure 4 and 5)



Check the strength of the mounting pillar and fit a wall adaptor kit where needed



If the swing gate leaf is longer than 2.5m, ensure that a lock can be fitted



Never fit the operator on the outside of the gate, where the public has access to it
(Follow the instructions for an outward opening swing gate, if required.)



For greater security consider fitting an optional high security kit

Install the gate operator only if:



It will not pose a hazard to the public



There is sufficient clearance to a roadway and/or public thoroughfares



The installation will meet all municipal and/or local authority requirements once
completed



The gate mass, leaf width, allowable wind loading and application is within the operator
specifications (refer to the specification tables)



The gate is in good working order, meaning:



that it swings freely;



does not move on its own if left in any position;



each gate leaf is strong and rigid



It can be installed to have sufficient clearance between moving parts when opening and
closing to reduce the risk of personal injury and entrapment



Pushbuttons or key switches, when required, can be positioned so that the gate is in
line of sight of the operator

For reliable operation it is important to ensure that the way the operator is
secured to the wall takes into account the strength of the pillar, the size of the
gate, and how frequently the gate would be used:

Adaptor Kit

This mounting is highly recommended for all
light-industrial gates, or for heavy gates of any
length.

Alternatively it should be considered for use on
pillars of low or unknown strength.

8. Unlock the operator and swing the gate
closed.

9. Remove the pin and the operator from the
bracket, check that there are at least one
or two turns of the actuator before it is fully
extended.

If it becomes obvious that the
operator does not have enough
stroke, reduce either the A or B
distances by moving the wall

Be sure not to make the A and B
values less than allowed for in the
installation tables on page 28 and 29

In general:



Large B distances give good security and

good closing push force



Small A and small B will increase the
speed

For wiring diagram see page 39/40

Connect all wiring

2. Connect all the cables as required to the
control card. See pages 36, 37, 38 and 39.

3. When wiring each operator back to the
controller housing, it is recommended to
mount a small junction box adjacent each
operator. Terminate the cable provided on
the operator into this junction box and then
route a new cable from the junction box to
the controller housing.

Junction

Box

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.

3. All electrical work must be carried out according to the requirements
of all applicable local electrical codes. (It is recommended that a
licensed electrical contractor perform such work.)

FIGURE 58

FIGURE 59

FIGURE 60

It is recommended that the installer
tie off the harness in such a way so as
to allow for a 350mm loop between
the cable exit at the back of the
operator and either the mounting
bracket or junction box, to minimise
the flexing of the harness. If a sharp
bend is introduced to the cable
harness, or a loop that is less than
350mm in diameter, the resulting
cable fatigue may cause the actuators
to behave erratically or to stop
operating altogether

Page 36

4. Check that the charger and battery are
connected to the controller.

Ensure the battery polarity is correct

5. Switch on the mains supply (via isolator).

6. Ensure that both the controller and charger
are effectively earthed for improved
lightning protection.

7. Check that the origin has been correctly set.
(See page 24).

8. Check that the gate is closed and the
operator is locked.

20. Setting up additional features

Figure 68 provides the full menu of features that can be set up on the system.
An explanation of each feature is provided in the section ‘Controller features’.

When setting up the VECTOR2 system via the LCD display, all the steps that have to be
followed are clearly provided via the display. It is only necessary to note the following:

1. To get into Setup Mode, press the (oblong) button for 3 seconds and follow the
instructions provided from there.

2. The buttons provided on the controller for navigating the system, are not marked
because at each step during the Setup, the function given to each button is provided
on the display.

3 When not in Setup Mode, ie Normal Mode, the (round) button is used as a TEST

button for operating the system. The up/down buttons are not used unless the
diagnostic screens have been selected to appear in Normal Mode, in which case these
buttons allow switching from one screen to the next.

For each feature a factory default setting has been programmed into the

controller. Referred to as an Operating Standard, these defaults have been
determined to suit the requirements of the specific region where the installation
is being carried out. It is only necessary to change a feature where the default
does not suit the installation. When selecting any feature in the menu, details of
the current setting stored in the controller are displayed

Menu 2 - Safety (collision force)



Collision force

If the gate is obstructed, the internal collision circuitry will activate.
The response of the system to a collision will vary, depending on the profile
(operating standard, e.g. ZA,) selected. Responses can vary from the gate
stopping, to the gate reversing. The collision force can be set from minimum to
maximum in five discrete steps.

A sixth step will disable collision sensing entirely, allowing maximum force to
be achieved. Under this condition, the motor will continue running until it
stalls, at which point a collision will be detected.

Menu 3 - Autoclose



Autoclose status

When turned on, the Autoclose feature has the function of automatically closing
the gate after a preset Autoclose time. The Autoclose feature is automatically
turned on when the controller is set for Condiminium Mode of Operation



Autoclose time

The Autoclose time can be set anywhere from 1 to 255 seconds.

This level should only be used if additional safety measures are taken.
(e.g. infrared beams, sensitive edge, etc.). Collision force can be set
independently per direction of travel



Collision count

A counter monitors the number of collisions that the gate experiences before it
reaches the fully closed position. If the value exceeds the value set in the
Multiple Collision Counter the controller shuts down until the next valid
trigger is received. As indication, the status LED will flash four times every
two seconds. The Multiple Collision fault indication will continue to flash
indefinitely or until a valid trigger has been received



Autoclose Override

It is possible for the user to temporarily turn off Autoclose when the Mode of
Operation is Standard or Reversing. To activate Autoclose Override, the
Trg input must be activated and maintained for a period longer than the time
set for the Autoclose Override Time.

The gate response will be to start opening on the Trg trigger, and then to stop
as soon as the Autoclose Override feature is activated. On clearing of the Trg
input, the gate will continue opening until fully open. The Autoclose feature is
now off and the gate will remain open indefinitely.

The next signal received on Trg will clear the Autoclose Override feature,
close the gate, and set the Autoclose feature back to normal.



Autoclose Advanced Options

The conditions under which the gate will automatically close can be set within
the Advanced Autoclose options menu:



Autoclose on open - automatically close the gate if it has reached the fully
open position



Autoclose on partly open - automatically close the gate if it is stopped
while opening, but before reaching the fully opened position

More than one advanced option can be selected

Menu 4 - Modes of Operation

It is possible to select the following Modes of Operation: Standard,
Condominium, Reversing, PLC and Deadman Control Mode (DCM). All

modes are triggered by closing a normally-open contact between the Trg input
terminal and the Com terminal.



Standard Mode

When stationary, a trigger impulse on Trg will cause the gate to either open or
close. On a moving gate, a trigger impulse on Trg will stop the gate. The next
impluse on Trg will cause the gate to reverse its direction of travel, i.e. the
action is start-stop-reverse.



Condominium Mode

A trigger impulse on Trg will open the gate under all conditions. If it were
closing, it will stop and reverse to open. In this Mode of Operation, the only
way to close the gate is with the Autoclose feature, which is automatically
activated when Condominium Mode is selected.



Reversing Mode

A trigger impulse on Trg will reverse the direction of a moving gate. If it were
closing, it will stop and immediately begin opening. If it were opening, it will
stop and immediately begin closing.



Autoclose on partly closed - automatically close the gate if it is stopped
while closing, but before reaching the fully closed position

Menu 5 - Run Profile



Positive Close Mode (PCM)

Setting Positive Close Mode to ON will allow the gate to drive up hard to the
closed endstop without causing the collision circuitry to operate. This feature
operates only during the last few millimetres of gate travel in closing mode.



Positive close type



PCM can be applied to one of the following:



Short Stop (further explanation follows)



Master motor (MTRM)



Slave motor (MTRS)



Both Master and Slave motors



Short stop



PCM applied to one gate is ideal for securely locking two gates to each other
without having to fit endstops. Typically, a 'mechanical' lip is fitted to one gate
which will push up against the other gate and via PCM keep pushing until the
gates are mechanically locked. To ensure that the gates do not close past their
desired end point, the gate (S) against which the gate (M) 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 gate (M) will engage with the S gate sufficiently before the closed
position and via the PCM, push the two gates into the fully closed position, but
not past.

S Gate stops slightly before closed position

If “Short Stop” is correctly set, PCM will cut off
when gates reach closed position, in line



Short Stop value

The Short Stop distance can be set
between 1mm and 40mm of piston
stroke



PCM push force

The amount of force applied by the
actuator when in PCM can be set as
a value from 1 to 15



Leaf delay

Leaf delay is used in cases where
one gate leaf must move before the
other. The most common need for
this arises when a mechanical 'lip' is
fitted to one of the gates. In a
double leaf installation, a leaf delay
can be set whereby the M motor will
open before the S motor, and the S
motor will close before the M motor



Leaf delay value

The leaf delay is based on piston

position, and can be adjusted from
3mm to 250mm of piston travel.



Pre-open delay

Allows a delay between a valid
trigger signal being received and
the gate commencing movement in
the opening direction. A warning
light can be set to activate during
this delay. (Refer to Pre-flash
modes of the feature ‘Pillar Light’,
for more details). This setting
applies to both motors



Pre-close delay

Allows a delay between a valid trigger signal being received and the gate
commencing movement in the closing direction. The delay will also occur if the
gate is set to close automatically. A warning light can be set to activate during
this delay. (Refer to Pre-flash modes of the feature ‘Pillar Light’, for more
details). This setting applies to both motors



Opening speed

Sets the maximum piston opening speed in millimeters per second.
This setting applies to both motors



Closing speed

Sets the maximum piston closing speed in millimeters per second. This setting
applies to both motors



Ramp-up distance

Sets the ramp-up distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when starting.
This setting applies to both motors



Ramp-down distance

Sets the ramp-down distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when
stopping. This setting applies to both motors



Crawl distance

Sets the final crawl distance in millimeters of travel of the piston when
reaching an endpoint. This setting applies to both motors



Push force limit

Sets the maximum push force delivered by the motors. The maximum setting
is a value of 15 and the minimum is four. This is useful in cases where limited
push force is required. This setting applies to both motors

Menu 6 - IR beams

In a swing gate installation, in order to
provide protection for a person or
vehicle moving through the entrance,
it is necessary to have two sets of
beams, one across the driveway where
the gates are closed and another
where the gates are open. Both these
beams must be set as closing safety
beams, preventing the gate from
closing and stop the gates if they have
started to close.

However, across the line of the
driveway up to where the gates open,
it is also recommended to have
another set of safety beams to prevent
the gate from opening if they are
closed and stop if they are opening.

Two independent normally-closed
inputs are provided for opening and
closing safety beams.

Inside

FIGURE 73. TYPICAL CLOSING BEAM

INSTALLATION

Gates will not close

An interrupted closing beam will prevent the gates from closing and stop and
reverse the gates back to the open position if already opening. Vice- versa for a
closing beam.

Page 52



PIRAC

The Passive-Infrared Autoclose
feature allows the gate to close
automatically, as soon as a vehicle
or pedestrian has passed through
the closing beam. This security
feature ensures that the gate stays
open for the minimum amount of
time possible.

If the Autoclose feature has been
enabled, the system will react in the
following way:

If the Autoclose feature has not been enabled then the gate will
remain open indefinitely. To close the gate the closing beam must be
interrupted or the trigger button must be pressed

Outside closing beam

Inside closing beam

Opening beam

IRBO = IRBC

(Combine inside closing beam with

opening beam = save on one beam)



When the gate is triggered to open and nothing moves through or interrupts
the closing beam, the gate will open fully and stay open for the period of time
determined by the Autoclose timer



However, if the closing beam is interrupted at any stage, while the gate is
opening or open, the gate will close immediately after the closing beam is
cleared



Safe output status

Automatically tests the safety beams before each gate cycle. (e.g. as required
by CE and UL325)

In order for this feature to work, the power supply negative of the beam
transmitter must be wired to the SAF COM terminal of the controller



IR beam test

Automatically tests the safety beams before each gate cycle. (e.g. as required
by CE.)
In order for this feature to work, the power supply negative of the beam
transmitter must be wired to the safe common terminal of the controller.



The time taken for the gate to open again after it has come to a stop is
approximately three seconds

Example:



Autoclose override time set to five seconds: Total time to temporarily
disable the PIRAC feature is approximately eight seconds
(5s + 3s = 8 seconds)

FIGURE 74

Additional beam functionality is provided:

Page 53



IRBO=IRBC

Configures the opening beam to act as a closing beam while the gates are
closing. This allows one set of beams to be used across the line of the driveway
up to where the gates open.



IR beam alarms

While the gate is fully closed, this feature allows the following alarms:



IR beam broken time

The time that the beams must be interrupted before the alarm is activated.



Break-in Alarm

Activates an alarm if the closing
beam on the outside of the
property is interrupted. The alarm
remains activated while the beams
are broken, and for a period of 30
seconds thereafter. This time is
fixed

If this alarm is used, it is
recommended that TWO
parallel closing beams are
used to reduce the chance of
false triggering

Intruder breaks beam
while loitering at gate

Alarm

FIGURE 76



Ambush Alarm

Activates an alarm if either the
opening or closing beams have
been continuously interrupted for
a predefined time. The alarm will
remain activated while the beams
are interrupted

For example, if a would-be
intruder covers the beams so that
when the gate is opened, the gate
will stay open, the system will
detect this beam override taking
place and set off an alarm

Menu 7 - Pedestrian Opening

This feature is associated with the Ped input on the controller. When activating
this input, the system will open the gate to the pedestrian open position, and
then automatically close after the Pedestrian Autoclose time lapses. If the Ped
connection to Com is maintained, then the gate will remain open, and when the
connection is broken, it will close after the Pedestrian Autoclose time has expired

The time taken for the gate to open to pedestrian is dependent on the pedestrian
pre-open delay and the time required for the gate to close from the pedestrian
position is dependent on the pedestrian pre-close delay



Pedestrian Open Position

Sets the maximum opening of the pedestrian gate in metres, in one

centimetre steps



Pedestrian Autoclose Time

Sets the Autoclose time in seconds after a Pedestrian Opening. This time can
be set from zero seconds to four minutes in one second steps.



Pedestrian Pre-open Delay

Sets the time delay between the pedestrian input being activated, and the
gate actually opening. This enhances safety in cases where the pedestrian has
to reach through the gate in order to activate the pedestrian input. A warning
light would typically be active during this delay. This delay can be set from
zero seconds to four minutes in one second steps



Pedestrian Pre-close Delay

Sets the time delay between the Pedestrian Autoclose timer expiring, and the
gate actually closing. A warning light would typically be active during this
delay. This delay can be set from zero seconds to four minutes in one second
steps

The warning light is any light wired to the Pillar Llight contacts, as
described in Menu 9

Menu 8 - Gate lock

An electric strike lock or magnetic lock can be connected to the control card,
allowing the gate to be locked when closed, open or both.



Lock enable status

Turns the lock functionality on or off



Lock type

Allows selection of either a solenoid strike lock, or a magnetic lock. A solenoid
strike unlocks when power is applied, while a magnetic lock unlocks when
power is removed



Release time

Sets the time period (in seconds) for which the lock remains released after the
gate has started moving

Page 55

Menu 9 - Courtesy/Pillar Light

This feature is associated with the Light connections on the controller. Refer to
Section 16 of the manual for details on how to connect a pillar or security light to
the controller

The Pillar Light circuit has multiple functions:



It operates as a Courtesy Light and switches on for a selectable time period
every time the gate is activated



The Courtesy Light can also be turned on for the same time period by
momentarily connecting the Aux terminal to the Com terminal via a pushbutton



The Courtesy Light can also be turned on permanently by connecting the Aux
terminal to the Com terminal via a pushbutton, for three seconds. A short
pulse thereafter will switch the lights off. The status LED will flash once every
two seconds to indicate that the Courtesy Light is on permanently. The
abovementioned facility can also be achieved via a remote learned to the
system and mapped to the Courtesy Light function from within the remotes
menu

The gate will not open when using the Aux trigger input



When the Ped input is triggered, the Courtesy Light flashes for an adjustable
(1 to 255 seconds) pre-flash time, before the pedestrian gate opens



Courtesy Light time

The time that the Courtesy Light will remain activated can be set from four

seconds to ten hours in one second increments



Light profile



The Courtesy Light can be selected to operate according to one of the
following:



Courtesy Light as explained earlier



Pre-flashing Mode



If Pre-flashing Mode A, B or C is selected, the behaviour of the Courtesy
Light will be as follows:



Mode A will turn on the Courtesy Light only while the gate is moving



Mode B will flash the Courtesy Light during the pre-opening and pre­closing delays, as well as while the gate is moving



Pre-release time

Sets the time period (in 0.1s increments) for which the lock releases BEFORE
the gate has started moving. This is useful in cases where premature gate
movement prevents the lock from releasing



Lock location

Specifies whether the gate is locked while closed, open or both



Lock drive

Specifies if the lock is to be powered by an AC or DC voltage. Selecting AC will
power the lock with a 50Hz square wave

Page 56



Mode C will turn on the Courtesy Light during the pre-opening and pre­closing delays, as well as while the gate is moving



In these pre-flashing modes, the timed Courtesy Light functionality is not
available

Menu 10 - General features



Operating standard

Regional operating standards can be set. Applying this setting will
automatically configure the controller settings to conform to the specific
region's standard (e.g. UL325 or CE)



Reset options

The controller settings can be reset through the reset options menu. Various
reset options are available:



Factory defaults – All settings will be restored to the default values
dictated by the Operating Standard/Profile that is currently selected. All
remote controls and gate limits will not be affected



Delete all remotes - Delete all the remotes stored in the system, no
settings affected



Reset all – Clears and defaults the system completely. Unit will be reset to
the factory default settings in addition to clearing all remotes and time
periods



Diagnostic screen

Allows a diagnostic screen to be displayed. This can be useful when
troubleshooting, but requires some technical knowledge



Round test button

Allows the round test button on the controller to be disabled, in cases where
higher security is required

Menu 11 - Remote controls

The controller is capable of learning up to 64 CENTURION NOVA remote controls
/ transmitters. Each transmitter can have up to four buttons. Each transmitter
learned into the system is assigned a unique transmitter ID



It is possible to artificially increase the number of buttons of a multi­button transmitter by using a two button combination



One of the buttons is used as a shift button to allow the other
buttons to be used again in combination with this button. In other
words the user will press and hold the shift button, before pressing
one of the other buttons to create a new button



The shift button cannot be used as a button on its own, it must always
be used in combination with the other buttons

Benefits of the shift button system:



Use of the shift button system allows a three button transmitter to
gain an extra button and operate four functions and likewise a four
button transmitter gains two extra buttons and can operate six
functions

Page 57



Another benefit of using the shift button system is that it requires
both hands to operate the two button combination.

This prevents the user from accidentally enabling sensitive functions
such as Holiday Lockout on the controller



Each transmitter learned into the system is assigned a unique
transmitter ID



Press valid button

If the remote controls menu has been locked as discussed later, only by
pressing a button of a transmitter learned into the system, can the remote
controls menu be accessed



Add remote

Any button can be set to control the Trigger, Pedestrian, Free-exit, Holiday
Lockout or Courtesy Light Control (Aux) inputs. When adding transmitters, it
is recommended that a record be kept of the ID number allocated by the
system to each respective transmitter and the person to whom the transmitter
is given. This is necessary should selective deletion be required at a later stage



Delete remote

Transmitters can be deleted at any stage according to one of the following
methods:



Delete remote by ID

Each transmitter can be deleted individually according to its unique ID. To
facilitate this, a record of the ID and the person to whom the ID has been
assigned must have been made at the time of learning the transmitter into
the system. The transmitter is not required for this operation



Delete remote button

The operation of a button of a particular transmitter can be cleared. For
example, it allows the Holiday Lockout function set on one remote button
of a transmitter to be cleared, without affecting the other operations that the
same transmitter performs. The transmitter is required for this operation



Delete remote by button

Use this procedure to remove the transmitter from the system. All button
functionality will be removed. The transmitter is required for this operation



Delete all remotes

Clears the entire memory. All transmitters will be removed



Edit remote button

Change the function of one button to perform another function. For example,
button one’s function is to open the gate completely. To change this, use the
edit remote button, select Ped, and button one of the same remote will now
only open the gate to pedestrian



Transmitter menu locked

Allows the remote controls menu to be locked, preventing the unauthorized
addition of new transmitters to the system. Once enabled, the remote
controls menu can only be accessed by pressing a valid transmitter button

S Sens1 Motor S (MTR S) operator. Connects to the thin PURPLE wire of the Motor

S operator.

S Sens2 Motor S (MTR S) operator. Connects to the thin BLUE or ORANGE wire of

the Motor S operator.

M Sens1 Motor M (MTR M) operator. Connects to the thin PURPLE wire of the Motor

M operator.

M Sens2 Motor M (MTR M) operator. Connects to the thin BLUE or ORANGE wire of

the Motor M operator.

Sens + Operator sensor power connection. A 5V output for connecting to the thin

RED sensor wire on both the MTR M and MTR S operators.

Sens - Operator sensor power connection. A 0V output for connecting to the thin

BLACK or GREY sensor wire on both the MTR M and MTR S operators.

Safe CLS CLOSING edge safety input. (A normally-closed potential-free input).

For as long as a connection between this input and COM is maintained the
controller will behave normally. When this connection is broken it will
prevent the gate from closing if it is stationary, and will stop and reverse
the gate if it is closing. This input has no effect if the gate is opening.

(If the Saf CLS function is not required a link must be fitted

between Safe CLS and COM for the controller to operate
normally. )

Safe OPN OPENING edge safety input. (A normally-closed potential-free input).

For as long as a connection between this input and COM is maintained the
controller will behave normally. When this connection is broken it will
prevent the gate from opening if it is stationary, and will stop and reverse
the gate if it is opening. This input has no effect if the gate is closing.

(If the Safe OPEN and reverse functions are not required a link

must be fitted between safe OPEN and COM for the controller to operate
normally. )

When setting up the controller for the first time or after a full

reset back to factory default has been performed, the system will
electronically override the Safety Inputs and allow the system to function
without the links. However if safeties are connected to either or both
inputs, thereafter there must be a normally-closed circuit
maintained for the system to operate correctly. I.e. if beams are fitted
and then removed, the circuit which is affected must be replaced with a
wire link to create the normally closed circuit

LCK/STP Holiday Lockout or gate STOP input. (A normally-closed potential-free

input). For as long as a connection between this input and COM is
maintained the controller will behave normally. But, when this connection
to COM is broken all inputs are inhibited, and if the gate is moving it will
stop.

(If the LCK function is not required a link must be fitted between

LCK and COM.)

24. Description of terminal functions

Page 64

TRG Trigger input. (A normally-open potential-free input) Momentarily

connecting this input to COM will cause the gate to open or close
depending on the operating mode selected. For more information see the
Autoclose feature and Modes of Operation

PED Pedestrian opening input. (A normally-open potential-free input).

Momentarily connecting this input to COM will cause one gate to open to
the Pedestrian open position. For more information refer to the Pedestrian
feature

FRX Free-exit input. (A normally-open potential-free input). Momentarily

connecting this input to COM will cause a gate which is closed, or closing,
to open or re-open. If the gate is open, or opening, the signal has no
effect other than to reset the Autoclose timer (if selected). Free-exit (FRX)
never initiates a closing cycle. The only way to close a gate, if only the
FRX input is used, is to activate the Autoclose feature on the controller

LIT LIT Activates the Pillar Light output. (A normally-open potential-free

input). Momentarily connecting this input to COM will cause the LIGHT
relay to energize for a period of time as set in the Courtesy Light Timer
menu. If the connection is made for a period exceeding 3 seconds the
Pillar Light Relay will latch and remain latched indefinitely until a new
momentary connection to COM is given.

LED External gate status indicator. (A low current output signal.) An output

terminal which provides a low current drive (approx. 4,5V DC, 20mA) to a
LED which can be used to indicate the gate status remotely. If more than
three LEDs are required it is necessary to fit the CP78 MULTI LED driver
card. For more details on the feedback about the status of the gate
provided by the STATUS LED refer to page 64

Com The COMMON termination point. All trigger signals etc. have their return

path to one of the COM terminals.

Aux 12V Auxiliary power connection. Provides a +12V DC supply for auxiliary

equipment such as a radio receiver, photo cells, etc. It is linked directly to
the battery positive via a 3A resettable fuse.

Safe Com Used for switching the power supply to the safety beams. If automatic

beam testing is required, the negative power supply connection of the
beam transmitters and receivers must be wired to this point

Sol Solenoid strike or Magnetic lock. A solenoid strike lock or Magnetic lock

can be connected between 12V and SOL. Note that the maximum current
draw allowed for the lock is 2A. Should the solenoid lock or magnetic lock
exceed this current rating it is necessary to use an interposing relay

Particularly with magnetic locks, ensure that the steady state

current draw calculated over a 24 hour period and added to this, the
quiescent current draw of the controller, other peripherals and the
usage of the motors, does not exceed the current delivered by the
charger. If necessary, fit a separate supply to power the lock using an
interposing relay connected to the Sol input.

Page 65

Light Pillar Light connection. These two terminals provide a normally-open

potential-free contact which is generally used to switch on a Pillar Light
(Courtesy Light). This contact is fuse protected – refer to page 41 for fuse
specifications.

Batt + Positive battery connection. (Battery terminal normally indicated as + or

RED)

Batt - Negative battery connection. (Battery terminal normally indicated as - or

BLACK)

MTR M+ Motor M operator power connection. (Thick BLUE wire).

MTR - Motor M operator power connection. (Thick BLACK wire).

MTR S+ Motor S operator power connection. (Thick BLUE wire).

MTR S- Motor S operator power connection. (Thick BLACK wire).

26. Installation handover

Once the installation has been successfully completed and tested, it is important for the
installer to explain the operation and safety requirements of the system.

NEVER ASSUME THE USER KNOWS HOW TO SAFELY OPERATE AN AUTOMATED
GATE!

Even if the user has used one before, it does not mean he knows how to SAFELY operate
it. Make sure that the user fully understands the following safety requirements before
finally handing over the site.

The following needs to be understood by the user:



How to operate the manual release mechanism. (Show them how by
demonstration)



How the obstruction detection and all other safety features work. (Show them how
by demonstration)



All the features and benefits of the operator, i.e. Safety beams, etc.



All the safety considerations associated with operating an automated gate.
The user should be able to pass this knowledge on to all other users of the

automated system and must be made aware of this
responsibility.



Do not activate the gate operator unless you can see it and
can determine that its area of travel is clear of people, pets, or
other obstructions



NO ONE MAY CROSS THE PATH OF A MOVING GATE. Always
keep people and objects away from the gate and its area of

travel



NEVER LET CHILDREN OPERATE OR PLAY WITH THE GATE
CONTROLS, and do not allow children or pets near the gate area



Be careful with moving parts and avoid close proximity to areas
where fingers or hands could be pinched



Secure all easily accessed gate operator controls in order to prevent
unauthorized use of the gate



Keep the automated gate system properly maintained, and ensure
that all working areas are free of debris and other objects that could
affect the gate operation and safety



On a monthly basis, check the obstruction detection system
and safety devices for correct operation



All repair and service work to this product must be done by
a suitably qualified person


