Mercury 310 Automated Gate System
Installation and Programming Manual
5353
The re input is meant to allow emergency personnel the ability to open the gate in an emergency situation
without needing assistance. See the following section, “Emergency Gate Access", for more information.
10.1.3 Fire Input
FIRE = Emergency Access Input (N.O.)
COM = Common (GND)
NOTICE
’ Auto-close is disabled when this input is activated.
’ When Fire input is activated, it clears a hard shutdown
’ An audible alarm will activate when re input is active.
READ THE FOLLOWING:
During normal operation, emergency vehicles access the gate by using an emergency vehicle access device
installed on your gate system. The type of device that is used in your community is dependent on local city codes.
These devices may include (but are not limited to) Fire Department lock boxes, Click-to-Enter radio receivers,
strobe light sensors, siren sensors, etc. Some examples are shown below.
Ensure the gate system is equipped with a back-up power system. In the event of a primary (AC) power failure
and a back-up system (DC) power failure (low charged or dead batteries for example), the system must have a
release system to allow the gate to be manually operated. The release device must be accessible from either
side of the gate and must be present so that emergency personnel can gain access through the gate under this
condition.
Manual opening instructions for the appropriate linear actuators are provided on the following two pages.
