audible alarm
If the Alarm Sounds During Normal Gate Operation: When the gate encounters TWO consecutive
obstructions before completing a gate cycle, the alarm will sound and the gate will PAUSE in the position where the second
obstruction occurred. CHECK THE GATE AREA FOR ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE pressing the alarm reset button on the operator
to shut off the alarm and reset the gate. NOTE: Alarm will automatically shut-off after five minutes but will not allow gate to
operate until the alarm reset button is pressed.
Some reasons why the alarm sounds:
•
A FOREIGN OBJECT is on the gate frame while the gate is moving.
•
The gate is TOO HEAVY.
•
The gate operator tries to close the gate but gate
gets CAUGHT on an object and cannot complete
a gate cycle.
•
The gate is HITTING a VEHICLE.
