Sliding gate operator limit sensor – Magnetic mechanism

$58.40

Ship or pick up from our office.

Sliding gate operator limit sensor - Magnetic mechanism

A sliding gate operator limit sensor, often a limit switch, is a crucial component that signals the gate operator when the gate has reached its fully open or fully closed position, stopping the motor and preventing over-travel. These sensors ensure the gate stops at the correct positions, preventing damage to the gate and surrounding structure. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Function:
    Limit sensors, like limit switches, detect when the gate reaches its extreme open or closed positions. 
  • How it works:
    When the gate reaches the limit, the sensor sends a signal to the gate operator's control board, which then stops the motor. 
  • Importance:
    Without limit sensors, the gate might continue to move, potentially hitting the end posts or other obstructions, causing damage. 
  • Types:
    Common types include magnetic limit switches and photoelectric sensors (photo eyes). 
  • Magnetic Limit Switches:
    These utilize magnets placed on the gate and a magnetic sensor on the operator. When the magnet aligns with the sensor, it triggers the limit switch. 
  • Photoelectric Sensors (Photo Eyes):
    These use infrared beams to detect obstructions. When the beam is broken (e.g., by the gate), the sensor signals the operator to stop. 
  • Installation:
    Proper installation and adjustment of limit sensors are crucial for the reliable operation. 
  • Maintenance:
    Regular inspection and maintenance of limit sensors are recommended, as they can wear out or become misaligned over time. 

Sliding gate operator limit stopper bracket

Sliding gate operator limit stopper bracket

The gate operator system with a damaged limit stopper bracket can not work properly, and it will soon stop working. Most of the time, the main control board and the motor will be damaged because of this issue and have to be replaced. Sometimes errors come from the limit stopper bracket not working because they are damaged and needs only to be cleaned or readjustment.
A sliding gate operator limit stopper bracket is a component that works with limit switches to prevent a sliding gate from over-extending its travel, ensuring it stops at the desired open and closed positions.
These brackets typically hold magnets or other sensor components that interact with the limit switches on the gate operator's control board. They help maintain the gate's smooth and safe operation by preventing it from hitting obstructions or going off its track. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
  • Purpose:
    The primary function of the limit stopper bracket is to define the boundaries of the gate's movement. It ensures the gate stops at the fully open and fully closed positions, preventing it from over-traveling. 
  • How it works:
    The bracket holds a magnetic or other type of sensor that is triggered when the gate reaches its limit. This trigger sends a signal to the gate operator's control board, which then stops the motor. 
  • Components:
    • Bracket: The physical structure that holds the sensor. 
    • Sensor: A device (often a magnet) that interacts with the limit switch. 
    • Limit Switch: A switch on the gate operator's control board that is activated by the sensor. 
  • Importance:
    • Safety: Prevents the gate from hitting objects or going off track, reducing the risk of damage or injury. 
    • Reliability: Ensures consistent and reliable gate operation by defining the travel limits. 
    • Protection: Protects the gate, operator, and surrounding objects from damage due to over-travel. 

Sliding gate operator gear

Sliding gate operator gear

A sliding gate operator gear refers to the toothed gear or rack and pinion system that facilitates the movement of a sliding gate.
This system typically consists of a toothed metal bar (the rack) attached to the gate and a motorized pinion gear that engages with the rack, causing the gate to slide open and closed. 
Here's a more detailed explanation: 
  • Rack:
    This is a toothed bar, usually made of steel or nylon-reinforced steel, mounted along the bottom of the sliding gate.
  • Pinion Gear:
    This gear is connected to the motor of the gate operator. When the motor rotates, the pinion gear engages with the rack's teeth, causing the gate to move.
  • Operation:
    The rotation of the pinion gear drives the gate along the track, either opening or closing it, depending on the direction of rotation.
  • Materials:
    While some racks are made of all-metal, nylon racks with a steel core are popular due to their lightweight nature, durability, and resistance to rust and wear.
Heavy Duty Gate Opener Sliding Gate Operators
This system is commonly used in automated sliding gates for both residential and commercial applications, providing a smooth, quiet, and efficient way to operate gates, especially on flat surfaces.

Sliding gate operator main control board – BFT (Deimos)

For the BFT Deimos range of sliding gate operators, the main control board is typically the BFT Merak control unit. There are different versions, most commonly the Merak SL1 and Merak SL2, and sometimes an older QSC board. Here's a breakdown of the BFT Merak control board for Deimos operators: Key Features and Characteristics of BFT Merak Control Boards (for Deimos):
  • Integrated Control Unit: The control board is usually incorporated directly within the Deimos operator casing, making for a compact and self-contained unit.
  • LCD Display (for newer models): Modern Merak boards (like Merak SL1 and SL2) feature an LCD display. This significantly simplifies programming, configuration, and diagnostics by providing clear menu options and error messages. Older QSC boards used a combination of LEDs for diagnostics.
  • Built-in Receiver: Most Merak control boards have a two-channel rolling code radio receiver integrated. This allows for direct compatibility with BFT remote controls like the Mitto series (e.g., Mitto2, Mitto4).
  • D-Track Technology: This is a core BFT technology present in Merak boards. D-Track is an intelligent torque management system that constantly monitors the gate's force and movement. It detects obstacles by identifying even slight variations in motor force due to temperature changes or wear. This ensures optimal safety by immediately reversing the gate's movement upon obstruction and helps with legal compliance for safety certifications.
  • 24V Technology: Many BFT Deimos operators, and consequently their Merak control boards, operate on 24V technology. This offers several benefits:
    • Safety: Lower voltage is inherently safer.
    • Precise Control: Allows for precise adjustment of slowdown during opening and closing cycles.
    • Intensive Use: Suitable for high-frequency use, including residential and light commercial applications.
    • Battery Backup: Often allows for the integration of battery backup systems (e.g., BFT SLBAT2) for continued operation during power outages.
  • Self-Learning and Self-Diagnostic Functions: The control unit can "learn" the gate's opening and closing limits during initial setup and perform self-diagnostics to identify potential issues, often indicated via the LCD display or LED codes.
  • Safety Device Management: The Merak board manages various safety devices, including:
    • Photocells: Connects to safety photocells (e.g., Compacta A20-180) that detect objects in the gate's path, triggering a stop or reversal.
    • Obstacle Detection: As mentioned with D-Track, it's designed to detect obstacles and reverse motion to prevent damage.
  • Programmable Functions: Offers a wide range of customizable settings, such as:
    • Automatic closing time.
    • Pedestrian passage mode.
    • Slowdown in opening and closing.
    • Quick closing.
    • Maintenance warnings.
  • Magnetic Limit Switches (for "Ultra" models): The "ULTRA" versions of Deimos operators (e.g., Deimos Ultra BT A400/A600) typically use magnetic limit switches for more precise and reliable end-of-stroke detection compared to traditional electromechanical microswitches.
  • U-Link Connectivity (for advanced models): Some advanced Merak boards and Deimos models are compatible with BFT's U-Link communication protocol. This allows for more advanced integration with other BFT devices, wireless connections, and even cloud-based monitoring and diagnostics via specific gateways (B-Eba).
Common Issues and Troubleshooting for BFT Deimos Control Boards: While generally reliable, control boards can experience issues. Some common problems and troubleshooting steps include:
  • Blown Fuses: Often indicated by no power to the keypad or control board. A short circuit (e.g., a faulty flashing beacon, wiring issue) can cause fuses to blow. Identifying and fixing the short is crucial before replacing the fuse.
  • Photocell Errors: Displayed as error codes (e.g., "PHCL" or "ER04"). This can be due to misaligned, dirty, or faulty photocells, or wiring issues to the photocells.
  • Gate Not Opening/Closing or Random Operation: Can stem from power supply issues, remote control problems (dead batteries, interference, reprogramming needed), obstructions, or indeed, a faulty control board.
  • Motor Not Working: Could be power failure, motor overheating, or a burnt-out motor.
  • Gate Does Not Stay Closed: Malfunctioning limit switch or a faulty control board.
Maintenance and Replacement:
  • Regular maintenance, including keeping photocells clean and checking wiring, can prevent many issues.
  • If a control board is suspected to be faulty, it's recommended to consult a qualified technician. Replacement boards are available as spare parts.
In summary, the BFT Merak control board is the sophisticated brain behind the BFT Deimos sliding gate operators, providing advanced features for safety, programming, and reliable operation.
