Fitting set of beams to control gates

[DaveC.]

I have a Q60A control box and have fitted a set of beams to open the gate on approach, but as you would know, if you give the open signal whilst the gates have opened and parked on the timer, you put the gates on hold, so if a second vehicle goes through the beam whilst in this condition the gates become parked open. But also if you open the gates with the remote then drive through the beam on your way in you get the same condition.
So my question is how can I stop the gates parking on double signal or can I wire the beams in some way that they won't send a signal (activate the gates) until the gates have closed again

Hi, I do not know much about the Q60A control board, but if you email me the manual if you have it then i may be able to help more.

you need to check the user manual to see if there is a function called car park mode, which means each signal given to the gates is an open command only, so it wont ever stop the gates, just keep the gate open a bit longer til the automatic close timer runs down, no matter how many times the beams are triggered, they will always close in the end.

hope this helps,

Thanks for your reply Ste. but looking at the instructions, I can't see anything about car parking or similar.
I have sent you 4 attachments i.e. 4 pages of installation instructions to peruse.
If all fails I wonder if a module of some kind would be available for retro fitting.
Thanks for your help so far.

Hi, had a look through your manual, i think the setting on this board is called 'multi occupation' which is default set to no. the setting is under the parementer menu 'P 2'. Try changing this to yes and get back to me with the results.

Thanks

Thank's for your help Ste. I will report back a.s.a.p.
I originally contacted PROTECO via their web site, but they did not bother to reply, maybe they are lucky and have to many customers to bother about customer relations, I will know who to buy from next time.
