INTRODUCTION STANDARD FEATURES AND OPTIONS The following figure provides an overview of the standard features and options of the S-80 Smart Gate™ mechanism. Figure 1-2 S-80 Smart Gate™ Mechanism Product Features Overview 1.1.1 Maintenance-Free Brushless DC Motor The S-80 incorporates advanced control and performance monitoring (Hall sensor feedback) and has no brushes to maintain. -
Page 9: Advancements
There are no mechanical cams and contacts to be adjusted in the S-80. These have been replaced with six fully programmable digital contacts that are based on Siemens’ I/O circuit technology. There are provisions for six (6) digital contacts that can be used for bell operation, gate position detection (GP), traffic preemption interfaces, etc. -

INTRODUCTION 1.2.3 Gate Arm Loop Detection System The Gate Arm Loop Detection system employs a thin gauge wire loop running down the length of the gate arm. The controller monitors the gate arm loop wire as a series circuit. The series loop will break when a gate arm is broken, providing indication of a malfunctioning system. - Page 11 1.3.1 Backlit 2 x 16 LCD display The display includes the following buttons to allow for programming: Enter, Exit, Next, and Previous. The programming functionality is similar to Siemens’ Solid-State Crossing Controller (SSCC) logic. 1.3.2 Fully Programmable Operation The user can program the gate arm ascend and descend times, define the vertical gate arm position (from 70 to 88 degrees), program the functionality of the six (6) digital contacts and enable/disable the Gate Arm Retention feature.
