Features
and
functions
We highly recommend that you use protection
beams if you select Condominium Mode in order
to prevent the gate from closing on people, pets or
vehicles.
PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 11) can be used with
Condominium Mode.
5.1.2.4. PLC Mode
This highly specialised mode is suited to industrial applications
where a separate computer or programmable logic controller (PLC)
is used to operate the gate. Three separate inputs are used to open,
stop or close the gate:
Free-exit input (a trigger from the PLC will only open the gate)
Holiday Lockout input (a trigger from the PLC will stop the gate)
Trigger input (a trigger will only close the gate)
Autoclose (page 11) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 14) cannot
be used with PLC Mode
5.1.2.5. Deadman Control Mode
A variation of PLC Mode, Deadman Control Mode requires a
pushbutton to be held in order for the gate to be set in motion. If
the button is released, the gate will immediately stop
Alternatively, an emergency stop pushbutton can be used to
permanently hold the gate in “Stop Mode”. Releasing the
pushbutton will allow your gate to open or close
If the open or closed triggers are held when the gate reaches the
end of its cycle either fully open or fully closed, the internal end-of-
travel limit switch system will shut off the motor and prevent
further operation in the respective direction
Autoclose (page 11) and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) (page 14) cannot
be used with Deadman Control Mode
