Definition of the type of sensor used to position the obstacle.
Limit Switches
(by default)
To be selected if the open/close position of the obstacle is
determined by limit switches.
To be selected if the position of the obstacle is determined
by an analogue sensor.
The analogue position sensor measures the distance
separating it from a spiral cam located on the shaft that
transmits the movement of the obstacle’s motor, which
means that the angular position of the obstacle is known at
all times. Also, see the Min Sensor Max parameter below.
This message is displayed if it is not possible to activate the
analogue sensor, as per one of these cases:
The crank presence detector (only present on some
equipments) is engaged.
=> Remove the crank so that the motor may be engaged.
If the equipment does not have a crank presence
detector, the circuit may have been cut.
=> link the corresponding connections.
Pushing the OK key within 5 seconds launches the analogue
sensor activation procedure (see below) and the movement
of the obstacle!
The Barrier Type and Arm characteristics
must be selected BEFORE initializing the
analogue sensor. Otherwise, rough
movements of the arm can occur with risk
of injury for the personnel and the equipment.
=> Navigate through the menus by means of the upper
key ().
The obstacle opens to look
for its open limit position.
The obstacle is moving
during this phase!
The obstacle closes to look
for its close limit position.
This is displayed if the open and closed limit values have
been recorded.
The analogue sensor is then operational.
The message disappears after 5 seconds or if the OK key is
pushed.
IMPORTANT: Save the values in MEM1 or MEM2
(MEMORY menu).
Activation failed because the analogue sensor was not
properly positioned => adjust it (closer or further away from
the cam) so the measurement is included in the working
range (= between the min. and the max. set in the Min
Sensor Max parameter below).
