4. Операция
The Q032 Limit Switch Adjustment Nuts are integral components of the gate opener's limit switch assembly. Their primary function is to define the gate's open and closed positions.
- When the gate opener motor operates, it drives a threaded rod or screw within the limit switch mechanism.
- The Q032 nuts are designed to travel along this threaded rod. As they move, they eventually contact and activate or deactivate the limit switches.
- This activation signals the gate opener's control board to stop the motor, thereby setting the gate's fully open or fully closed position.
- Proper adjustment of these nuts is critical for the safe and efficient operation of the gate, preventing it from over-traveling or not closing completely.
