5.5 Installation af fotocelle

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. Betjeningsvejledning

6.1 Betjening af fjernbetjening

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.

• Pairing Remotes: 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.
• Udskiftning af batteri: Udskift fjernbetjeningens batterier efter behov for at sikre pålidelig drift.

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 Manuel udløsning

I tilfælde af en magt outage 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.

7. Vedligeholdelse

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your gate operator system.

• Månedlig: Inspect the gate's movement for any binding or resistance. Lubricate the gate rollers and hinges if necessary.
• Kvartalsvis: Check the drive chain tension. Adjust if it is too loose or too tight. Inspect the chain for wear or damage.
• Bi-Annually: Clean the lenses of the infrared photocell sensors to ensure proper function. Check all electrical connections for tightness and corrosion.
