GLOSSARY
An-Li Device Prevents the gate from being lied o the gate rail.
Auto Close The automac closure of the gate, not requiring a trigger input.
Baery Refers to either a 12V or 24V baery that powers the gate operator.
Beams Auto Close
(BAC)
The immediate closing of the gate aer a vehicle or pedestrian has passed through the
Safety Beams, stopping the gate from running to the fully open posion unnecessarily.
Catch Bracket A locang bracket, mounted to the gate post, that holds the gate securely when in the
closed posion. It can be used as part of an an li system or to lock the gate with a
padlock when not in operaon.
Collision Sensing The controller soware responding to changes in current draw and operator run speed
as a result of the gate hing an obstrucon.
Condo Mode Short for Condominium. See Mul User Mode
Controller The circuit board containing the electronic components and soware that controls the
gate operator.
End Stop A metal device on the gate rail, used to prevent the gate from running o the gate rail in
both the open and closed posions.
Foundaon Plate The steel plate used to anchor the operator to a concrete slab.
Infrared Beams: See Safety Beams
Intercom Allows for two way communicaon between the gate and the house.
Joysck The physical device used to navigate the menu on the controller.
LCD Screen The graphics screen display on the controller.
Loop Detector Detects when a vehicle drives over it to trigger the gate open (or closed).
MESSAGE DESCRIPTION & SOLUTION
ENCODER
FAULT
The controller has detected an encoder fault.
 Ensure that the controller is sing properly on the controller base.
 If a Tritek controller is being used on a older DACE product i.e. not an Ulma, check that the
encoder is plugged in correctly.
OPENING IR
BEAM FAULT
The beams Self Test funcon is acve on the controller and has detected that the opening safety
beam is not funconing correctly.
 Ensure the beams are compable with the Self Test funcon. Only DACE compable beams
can be used with this funcon.
 Ensure the opening safety beams are powered up correctly
 Check that the opening safety beams are not blocked.
 If there are mulple beams in place, make sure there is no crosstalk between the dierent
sets of beams.
CLOSING IR
BEAM FAULT
The beams Self Test funcon is acve on the controller and has detected that the closing safety
beam is not funconing correctly.
 Ensure the beams are compable with the Self Test funcon. Only DACE compable beams
can be used with this funcon.
 Ensure the closing safety beams are powered up correctly
 Check that the closing safety beams are not blocked.
If there are mulple beams in place, make sure there is no crosstalk between the dierent sets
of beams
