5.5 Photocell Installation
Mount the infrared photocell transmitter and receiver units on opposite sides of the gate opening. Ensure they are aligned perfectly so the infrared beam is unobstructed. The photocell acts as a safety device, preventing the gate from closing if an object breaks the beam.
6. Instruccions de funcionament
6.1 Funcionament del control remot
The remote controls operate in a single-button mode. Pressing any of the three main buttons will cycle the gate through OPEN / STOP / CLOSE / STOP. The fourth button is typically reserved for pedestrian mode, which opens the gate partially for foot traffic.
- Emparellament de comandaments a distància: If remotes are not pre-programmed, follow the instructions in the detailed guide to pair them with the operator's control board. The system supports up to 25 remotes.
- Substitució de la bateria: Substituïu les bateries del comandament a distància segons sigui necessari per garantir un funcionament fiable.
6.2 Automatic Close Function
The gate operator features an automatic close function. This can be configured to close the gate automatically after a set period of 12, 24, or 36 seconds. This function can also be disabled if not desired.
6.3 Infrared Photocell Safety
During the closing process, if the infrared beam of the photocell sensor is interrupted by an obstruction, the gate will immediately reverse and open to prevent damage or injury. Ensure the photocell lenses are kept clean and free from obstructions for optimal safety.
6.4 Alliberament manual
En cas d'una potènciatage or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually. Insert the emergency release key into the lock on the operator unit and turn it to disengage the motor, allowing the gate to be pushed open or closed by hand.
