BFT LIBRA CONTROL PANEL
#1
Hello

I have had my BFT phobos gates fitted now for about 12 years without much trouble apart from the limiter switches.

I have redone my driveway and have added entrance lights which I have run off the Libra control panel. I have used junction points 9 & 10 but the lights will only come on while gates are moving. Is there anyway of keeping lights on for a period of time after gates have stopped moving.

Any help appreciated

Thanks Neil

Hi Neil,

Please see the below drawing i have created for you, unfortunately you cannot achieve this through the programming of the control board. The only way that this would be achievable would be through wiring a timed relay as shown below. Please see the parts required.

Hello. Thanks for the reply. I currently have installed 25v marine lights down the driveway. Would this diagram change ?
Thanks Neil

Hi Neil,

Diagram remains the same, all you require doing is amending the voltage for 24v. See amended drawing below. You do require a separate power supply for the lights as this should not be powered from the control board. It will overload the accessory output causing the board to require replacing. If you do need a power supply, i can amend the drawing further to show the power supply and can also price this for you.

You can purchase the parts through Easygates, this would cost £54.30inc VAT delivered next day. If you do wish to make the order, please call 01384 569 942.

Hello Sav

Yes I would require a separate power supply as no other 24v supply apart from board.

Thanks Neil

Probably a good job i mentioned that then!

Please see the link below for the power supply required.

You will probably require an enclosure to mount this all in.

Updated picture below, is this still making sense?

Yes makes sense. Just one question, does the timer only work on 230v ? If works off 24v would you need relay ?

Thanks Neil

Hi Neil,

The relay is there to switch the 24v output from the Libra to a dry contact output, the H3D timer requires a control input of 0v dry contact. This then initiates the timer to allow the power to the lights for whatever amount of time you set it to when programming it via the dials on the H3D.

Hope this helps.
