How Auto-Close Mode Works for Barriers

Auto-close mode for Barriers operates in the following sequence:

  1. The Barrier lowers
    Once the system is triggered, the Barrier lowers to allow vehicle access.
  2. The vehicle parks
    The vehicle must park over the sensor.
  3. The vehicle remains over the sensor for more than 60 seconds
    The sensor requires the vehicle to remain stationary for at least 60 seconds.
  4. The vehicle moves away in one continuous motion
    The vehicle must leave the area without stopping or pausing.
  5. The barrier closes automatically
    After the vehicle leaves, the Barrier will auto-close after the set interval, plus an additional 10 to 15 seconds for the laser interval.

Important notes

  • If any of these conditions are not met, the Barrier will not activate the auto-close feature.
  • In some cases, the vehicle may not be parked directly over the sensor, which can prevent the sensor from being triggered.

Testing the auto-close feature

You can test the auto-close feature without a vehicle by placing an object, such as a cardboard box, in front of the sensor. This simulates the presence of a vehicle and allows you to check whether the auto-close function is working properly.

For a detailed demonstration, see the video linked below, which shows how to test auto-close mode successfully.
