When a gate is set up in production and shipped, it comes with factory-adjusted values for arm travel speed, acceleration, and deceleration during opening and closing. However, since clients and parking lots have different layouts and requirements, these settings may need adjustments to ensure optimal functionality.
Below are key settings that can be modified to speed up or slow down the gate arm during operation:
Factory Value: 01
Adjustment: If the client wants to turn off the pre-flashing warning, they can set the value to 00.
Effect: With this feature turned off, the flashing light will start at the same time as the arm movement, saving approximately 2 seconds in the entire process.
Setting 11 - Deceleration During Opening
Reducing this value shortens the deceleration phase, speeding up the gate opening process.
Note: The minimum value depends on the arm length; longer arms require higher minimum values.
Setting 12 - Deceleration During Closure
Functions the same as Setting 11 but applies to the closing process.
Adjustment: Determines the number of seconds after which the gate will start the auto-close process.
Effect: Clients can set the auto-close time to suit their specific needs.
Setting 33 - Opening Start Acceleration
Reducing this value shortens the acceleration phase, leading to a faster gate opening.
Note: The minimum value depends on the arm length; longer arms require higher minimum values.
Setting 34 - Closure Start Acceleration
Functions the same as Setting 33 but applies to the closing process.
Setting 40 - Opening Speed
Increasing this value increases the overall speed of the arm during opening.
Limit: The maximum value is restricted by arm length.
Setting 41 - Closure Speed
Functions the same as Setting 40 but applies to the closing process.
By adjusting these settings, clients can optimize gate operation to match their specific parking lot configurations and enhance efficiency. Proper tuning ensures a balance between speed, safety, and longevity of the gate mechanism.
