Swing gate operator control board SWRG24
The SWRG24 is a universal 24V DC main control board for swing gate operators. This means it's designed to be adaptable and compatible with a wide variety of 24-volt direct current swing gate systems, rather than being specific to one brand or model.
Here's a breakdown of its key features and functionalities:
Key Features
- 24V DC Operation: The SWRG24 operates on a 24-volt direct current power supply, which is common in many modern gate systems, especially those that might incorporate battery backup for operation during power outages.
- Universal Compatibility: It's designed to work with various swing gate openers and systems, offering versatility for different installations. This often means it can replace a damaged board in an existing system or be used as the control center for a custom gate setup.
- Programmable and Adjustable Settings: The board is fully programmable, allowing installers and users to customize various operational parameters. These often include:
- Resistance Sensitivity: Adjusts how much force the gate encounters before stopping or reversing, crucial for safety.
- Motor Working Time: Sets the maximum time the motor will run for opening or closing, preventing over-rotation or damage.
- Auto-Closing Time: Configures a delay after opening before the gate automatically closes, enhancing convenience and security.
- Motor Output Power: Allows for fine-tuning the motor's strength to suit the gate's weight and size.
- Soft Start/Stop: This feature typically provides a gradual acceleration and deceleration of the gate, reducing wear and tear on the motor and hardware, and providing smoother operation.
- Quick Close/Anti-Tailgate: Some models may include features to close the gate immediately after a vehicle passes, preventing unauthorized vehicles from following closely behind.
- Digital Display: Many SWRG24 boards feature a digital display (often a digital tube display), which simplifies the process of adjusting settings, troubleshooting, and monitoring the system's status.
- Compatibility with Accessories: It typically has terminals and inputs for connecting a range of safety and access control devices, such as:
- Photocells/Infrared Sensors: Essential safety devices that detect obstructions in the gate's path and prevent it from closing on people or objects.
- Loop Detectors: Used to detect vehicles approaching or exiting the gate, triggering opening or closing.
- Push Buttons/Keypads: For manual operation or coded access.
- Remote Controls: For wireless operation.
- Warning Lights/Alarms: For signaling gate movement or entrapment.
- Safety Compliance: Modern gate control boards like the SWRG24 are often designed to comply with safety standards like UL325, which requires the use of entrapment protection devices.
- Potential for Battery Backup: As a 24V DC system, it's often designed to integrate with battery backup systems, ensuring continued operation during power outages.
Applications
The SWRG24 is typically used in various swing gate applications, including:
- Residential Gates: For homeowners seeking automated access and enhanced security.
- Commercial and Industrial Gates: For businesses and facilities with higher traffic demands, where reliable and secure access is critical.
Installation and Programming
While the SWRG24 is designed for versatility, its
installation and programming require technical expertise. It involves connecting various components, setting parameters, and ensuring all safety features are correctly implemented. It's generally recommended that installation be performed by a qualified gate installer to ensure compliance with safety standards and optimal performance.
