ATA – Draft SGO4 & 5 Manual

MODE SELECTION

If the P.E. input is configured to stop the gate during opening or closing, then the gate can auto-close from a midway position. This feature is implemented so that once a vehicle has entered the gateway and broken the P.E. beam, the gate will stop. When the P.E. beam is cleared the gate will auto-close from the stopped position. This results in the gate not having to fully open and thus reducing the time unwarranted access through the gate is possible. The factory set delay time of 1 second is adjustable, see section “P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLOSE DELAY TIME” below

MIXING AUTO-CLOSE MODES
The PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode and the STANDARD AUTO-CLS mode do not affect each other as one operates during standard operation and the other during pedestrian access. However it is possible to have P.E. triggered pedestrian auto-close by selecting both the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS and P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS modes. In this case the gate would partly open for pedestrian access and then either the P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS would cause the gate to auto-close when a pedestrian walks through and activates the P.E beam or, if no one walked through the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS would close the gate. This way the gate is only kept open long enough for a person to walk through, but with the backup that if no one walks through the gate will still close. The same concept can be used with standard operation by selecting both the STANDARD AUTO-CLS and the P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS modes. That is, the gate would only stay open long enough for the vehicle to pass through but would still auto-close if no vehicle enters.

Note: P.E. TRIGGERED AUTO-CLS will not operate during pedestrian access unless the PEDESTRIAN AUTO-CLS mode is also selected.
