Gate Opening
N.B.: (For CENTURION A5, D3 and D5 models only). If the gate is obstructed
repeatedly 4 times, either opening or closing, the gate will stop and will not respond
to trigger inputs for 2 minutes.
After this time the gate once again respond to command signals. This function is a
warning to the user that the obstruction must be removed. (The number of
obstructions before the system will shutdown can be adjusted to suit, default is 4).
The FAAC units do not reverse on striking an object when in the closing mode. For
both opening and closing modes, the mechanical clutch will start slipping and if not
operator input is provided, the motor will automatically cutout after 1 minute.
AUTOMATIC ALIGNMENT
Both the CENTURION (D3,D5,A5) and FAAC operators are fitted with a manual
override mechanism. This is to allow the gate to be operated in the event of a total
malfunction of the equipment. It is also required if the mains power has failed in the
case of the 220V operators (A5 and FAAC 746/844 models).
In the case of the CENTURION operators (D3, D5, A5) when a command signal is
given after the gate has been moved manually and then re-engaged, the gate will
drive to either it's fully open, or closed, position. Referred to as automatic alignment,
the gate can only be stopped, but not reversed until the alignment cycle is complete.
The system will then revert to normal operation.
The A5 operator will also perform an automatic alignment after a mains power
failure. The FAAC units do not have automatic alignment.
