MEGATRON TANK

SUPER HEAVY DUTY 4500 LBS CAPACITY

High-traffic Commercial Brusless DC Swing Gate Operator The Maximum Level of Gate Control

One of the primary goals of the Megatron Tank is to provide the most secure, easiest to maintain gate operator with higher gate speed motion and advanced loop management.

The Megatron Tank uses non-volatile memory to continuously log performance characteristics and input/output events. A service technician can access this data via USB port to download the event history, quickly diagnosing complex or intermittent problems that traditionally have been very difficult to isolate and repair. By plugging a USB thumb drive into the USB port, all the Megatron’s diagnostic history will download, working as a “Black Box” to diagnose what occured. The Megatron’s event history is stored as a .TXT document which can be emailed to the factory if necessary, for on-site diagnosis. The .TXT file is a log of the most recent 1000 events reported by each module to the central logger.

The Megatron Tank’s standard intuitive loop management system, when enabled, will discourage tailgating, increasing security for residential and High-traffic installations. When the anti-tailgate switch is activated, any car tailgating a legitimate access will be forced to stop by a rapidly closing gate, forcing the tailgater to back up and thereby triggering the gate to close and deny unauthorized access.

When disabled, loop management will allow multi- access, with the gate opening on each successive trigger in the traditional loop management manner.
