low-speed opening angle, it will work at the F-06 opening end speed, until it is completely
open.
F-07 closing end speed
The speed at which the boom gate completely closes. Values that are too high will cause the
boom to dither when the boom gate is completely closed. If F-05 is greater than 0 and less than
the F-03 closing deceleration angle, the boom gate will work at the F-07 closing end speed, until
it is completely closed.
F-08 horizontal position adjustment
You can fine-tune the horizontal position of the boom by adjusting this parameter. The higher
the value, the more the boom will tilt upwards. The lower the value, the more the boom will tilt
downwards. The value is only valid when H-33 is set to 0. Otherwise, if the parameter is saved, it
will take effect when H-33 is set to 0.
F-09 vertical position adjustment
You can fine-tune the vertical position of the boom by adjusting this parameter. The larger the
value, the easier it will be for the boom to tilt upwards. The lower the value, the easier it will be
for the boom to tilt downwards. The value is only valid when H-33 is set to 0. Otherwise, if the
parameter is saved, it will take effect after H-33 is set to 0.

H-03 automatic delay closing after vehicle passes
The range of H-03 is 0–255 (0 by default). Unit: 1 second. Different from F-10, H-03 means that
the countdown starts after the vehicle passes the coil or radar.
If there is an opening command during the countdown, the timer will be reset.
If the boom gate receives closing command, it will close immediately.
If it receives stop command, it will stop delay.
If the value is set to 0, the function will be turned off, and the boom gate closes after the
vehicle passes.
H-07 counting function
In some cases, the boom gate closes only when the number of opening times matches with the
closing times of ground sense relay. 0 means turning off the function. The value indicates the
maximum number of consecutive opening times.
H-08 automatic test
Interval of automatic aging test. 0 means the function is turned off. After the test is complete,
set this parameter to 0, or press Stop during the opening or closing process to exit automatic
test.
H-09 restore factory default settings
To prevent improper operation, set the parameter to 10, and then press Settings to restore
default settings. After the operation is complete, if you hear one buzz, the operation was
successful; and if it is 2 buzzes, the operation failed.
After restoring default settings, restart the device to make the settings take effect.
H-17 traffic light changes when the boom opens to the defined angle
When the boom gate opens to the defined angle, the relay of the traffic light interface changes
from COM and Red shorted to COM and Green shorted. After connecting to the traffic light
power supply, the traffic light interface can adapt to traffic lights of any voltage.

H-31 enter the fleet mode when opening the boom gate by remote control
Setting H-31 to 1 means that after opening the boom gate by remote control, it enters fleet
mode (the boom gate keeps open until a specified amount of vehicles pass), until you close
the boom gate. You can exit the fleet mode by remote control, or when the connected
User’s Manual
21
camera sends closing signal. The boom gate does not enter the fleet mode when it opens
after receiving opening command from the connected camera.
Set H-31 to 0, and when the boom gate is opened, press and hold Open on the remote
control for 4 seconds to enter the fleet mode.
H-33 define the up and down limits according the defined speed
After powering on the boom gate for the first time, it needs to find the limit of the gate before it
can enter the normal working mode.
The controller supports three limit finding modes:
0: Find both up limit and down limit. Press Open, the boom rises. The motor stops after the
boom finds the up limit. Press Close, the boom falls. The motor stops after the boom finds
the down limit. After both up and down limits are found, the boom gate enters the normal
working mode.
1: After powering on the controller for the first time, press Open, the boom rises. The boom
gate enters the normal working mode after it finds the up limit. The motor will stop. If you
press Close after first-time power-on, the boom rises. The boom gate enters the normal
working mode after it finds the up limit. The boom gate will be closed in normal working
mode.
2: After powering on the controller for the first time, press Close, the boom falls. The boom
gate enters the normal working mode after it finds the down limit. If you press Open after
first-time power-on, the boom gate closes first, finds the down limit, and then it can open
in the normal working mode. This mode is ideal for scenes blocked with eaves.
H-34 adjust the up and down limits manually
You can use this command to manually set the up and down positions of the boom, so that it is
more intuitive to adjust the up and down positions of the boom.
After entering the H-34 command, the LED shows L-00, and then the boom falls. After the
boom finds the down limit, the buzzer beeps, and the LED changes to L-01. Then the boom
rises, the buzzer beeps, and the LED changes to L-02, meaning that the up limit has been
found. At this moment, the gate stops, and you need to manually find the vertical and
horizontal positions of the boom:
1) Press and hold Close, the boom works in the closing direction, until it is in the required
vertical position.
2) Press Settings to confirm the vertical position, then the LED shows L-03, meaning that
the boom gate finishes finding the vertical position.
3) Continue to press and hold Close until the boom is in the desired horizontal position.
4) Press Settings to confirm the horizontal position. After you hear the sound from the
buzzer, the boom gate goes back to the normal working status.
If the boom does not reach the desired position after manual adjustment, you can press
Open or Close to adjust the position. During the adjustment process, if you do not release
the Open or Close button when the boom reaches the up or down limit, the controller will
stop the motor, and the buzzer makes continuous buzzes for alarm.
If H-33 is set to 0, the boom gate can work normally after manual adjustment. If H-33 is set
to 1, the parameters manually adjusted are saved, and they will take effect only when H-33
is set to 0.
The parameters adjusted through H-34 will influence F-08 and F-09. You can view the
adjustment value of horizontal and vertical positions through F-08 and F-09.
User’s Manual
22
You can use H-34, configure F-08 and F-09 to adjust the vertical and horizontal positions,
but using H-34 is more intuitive.
H-35 adjust the up limit manually (recommended for straight boom gate or fence boom gate,
with boom length of 5 meters or more)
After entering the H-35 command, the LED shows L-00, and then the boom rises. After the
boom finds the up limit, the buzzer beeps, and the LED changes to L-01, meaning that the
up limit has been found. At this moment, the gate stops, and you need to manually find the
vertical and horizontal positions of the boom:
1) Press and hold Close, the boom works in the closing direction, until it is in the required
vertical position.
2) Press Settings to confirm the vertical position, then the LED shows L-02, meaning that
the boom gate finishes finding the vertical position.
3) Continue to press and hold Close until the boom is in the desired horizontal position.
4) Press Settings to confirm the horizontal position. After you hear the sound from the
buzzer, the boom gate goes back to the normal working status.
If the boom does not reach the desired position after adjustment, you can press Open or
Close to adjust the position. During the adjustment process, if you do not release the Open
or Close button when the boom reaches the up or down limit, the controller will stop the
motor, and the buzzer makes continuous buzzes for alarm.
If H-33 is set to 1, the boom gate can work normally after manual adjustment. If H-33 is set
to 0, the parameters manually adjusted are saved, and they will take effect only when H-33
is set to 1.

If H-33 is set to 2, the boom gate can work normally after manual adjustment. If H-33 is set
to 0 or 1, the parameters manually adjusted are saved, and they will take effect only when
H-33 is set to 2.
H-38 coil signal buzzer
You can set whether the boom gate buzzes when it receives coil or radar signals for
anti-smashing. The parameter is 0 by default, meaning no buzzes when the boom gate receives
coil or radar signals, 1 means the boom gate buzzes.
H -45 speed of auto delay closing
When F-10 (automatic delay closing time) is greater than 0, after the countdown finishes, the
boom gate opens at H-45 speed. The greater the value is, the faster the speed will be. When the
spring tension is large, the H-45 speed is too small, making the boom open when it is
obstructed during closing, you can increase the value appropriately.
H-46 auto opening time if low voltage occurs
This parameter defines the automatic opening function in case of power failure. It works with
H-47. When the power supply voltage is lower than the defined H-47 value, and the low voltage
continues for the defined H-46 value, the boom gate automatically opens. After it is opened, the
digital tube displays loxx (xx indicates the value of H-47). This function is available when an
ultracapacitor backup power module is installed. If H-46 is set to 0, it means that the function is
turned off.
H-47 auto opening when reaching the low voltage threshold
This parameter defines the voltage that the boom gate opens in case of power failure. It works
with H-46. In case of power failure, the boom gate automatically opens when the voltage is
lower than the defined H-47 value for more than the time defined in H-46.

Adjust the spring. Step 3
1) Power off the boom gate.
2) Rotate the motor hand wheel to make the boom move in the direction of closing the
boom gate.
After rotating the hand wheel to the nearly-horizontal position, if the hand wheel jitters
during rotation, you need to tighten the spring. Rotate the hand wheel in the direction
of opening the boom gate, and when rotate it to the nearly-vertical position, if the
hand wheel jitters, you need to loosen the spring. Try several ways according to the
previous description to rotate the hand wheel, until the hand wheel works smooth, and
the spring is balanced.
You can check whether the spring is balanced by powering on the boom gate, and
observing the working status of the boom. The spring is too tight if the boom dithers during
the opening process, and is too loose if the boom dithers during the closing process.
Remote Control 3.6
The remote control receiver comes with the controller is a learning code receiver.
The remote control can work normally after it exits the unpairing status.
Pairing
Unplug the remote control receiver (or power off the boom gate). Step 1
Press and hold the Open button of the remote control, and then plug in the remote control Step 2
receiver (or power on the boom gate).
When the indicator (the indicator inside the receiver) flashes slowly, the remote control Step 3
starts pairing (about 2 seconds). Release the Open button, and then press and hold the
Close button for about 5 seconds. If the indicator is solid on, the pairing was successful.
After the indicator flashes slowly again, you can start pairing the second remote control.
Press and hold the Close button of the second remote control for 3 seconds. If the indicator Step 4
is solid on, the second remote control was successfully paired. You can continue to pair
other remote controls similarly.

4 Maintenance
Clean the casing surface to avoid dust and litter.
Check the fasteners are well tightened once a month, and fasten them when necessary.
Check spring balance after the boom gate runs every 300,000 times; replace the spring with a
new one after the boom gate runs 1 million times or 12 months, to avoid spring fracture due to
overuse.
Check and replace (if necessary) wear parts every 6 months by professionals.
If the remote control distance is too close, check whether the receiver is shielded by metal
objects, or the battery of the remote control is low. The remote control distance might be
reduced if there are multiple devices of the same frequency interference in the area, or under
severe weather conditions such as rain, fog, wind and snow.

Cybersecurity Recommendations Appendix 2
Cybersecurity is more than just a buzzword: it’s something that pertains to every device that is
connected to the internet. IP video surveillance is not immune to cyber risks, but taking basic steps
toward protecting and strengthening networks and networked appliances will make them less
susceptible to attacks. Below are some tips and recommendations from Dahua on how to create a
more secured security system.
Mandatory actions to be taken for basic device network security:
1. Use Strong Passwords
Please refer to the following suggestions to set passwords.
The length should not be less than 8 characters.
Include at least two types of characters; character types include upper and lower case
letters, numbers and symbols.
Do not contain the account name or the account name in reverse order.
Do not use continuous characters, such as 123, abc, etc.
Do not use overlapped characters, such as 111, aaa, etc.
2. Update Firmware and Client Software in Time
According to the standard procedure in Tech-industry, we recommend to keep your device
(such as NVR, DVR, IP camera, etc.) firmware up-to-date to ensure the system is equipped
with the latest security patches and fixes. When the device is connected to the public
network, it is recommended to enable the "auto-check for updates" function to obtain
timely information of firmware updates released by the manufacturer.
We suggest that you download and use the latest version of client software.
"Nice to have" recommendations to improve your device network security:
1. Physical Protection
We suggest that you perform physical protection to device, especially storage devices. For
example, place the device in a special computer room and cabinet, and implement well-done
access control permission and key management to prevent unauthorized personnel from
carrying out physical contacts such as damaging hardware, unauthorized connection of
removable device (such as USB flash disk, serial port), etc.
2. Change Passwords Regularly
We suggest that you change passwords regularly to reduce the risk of being guessed or cracked.
3. Set and Update Passwords Reset Information Timely
The device supports password reset function. Please set up related information for password
reset in time, including the end user’s mailbox and password protection questions. If the
information changes, please modify it in time. When setting password protection questions, it is
suggested not to use those that can be easily guessed.
4. Enable Account Lock
The account lock feature is enabled by default, and we recommend you to keep it on to
guarantee the account security. If an attacker attempts to log in with the wrong password
several times, the corresponding account and the source IP address will be locked.
5. Change Default HTTP and Other Service Ports
We suggest you to change default HTTP and other service ports into any set of numbers
User’s Manual
32
between 1024–65535, reducing the risk of outsiders being able to guess which ports you are
using.
6. HTTPS
We suggest you to enable HTTPS, so that you visit Web service through a secure communication
channel.
7. MAC Address Binding
We recommend you to bind the IP and MAC address of the gateway to the device, thus reducing
the risk of ARP spoofing.
8. Assign Accounts and Privileges Reasonably
According to business and management requirements, reasonably add users and assign a
minimum set of permissions to them.
9. Disable Unnecessary Services and Choose Secure Modes
If not needed, it is recommended to turn off some services such as SNMP, SMTP, UPnP, etc., to
reduce risks.
If necessary, it is highly recommended that you use safe modes, including but not limited to the
following services:
SNMP: Choose SNMP v3, and set up strong encryption passwords and authentication
passwords.
SMTP Choose TLS to access mailbox server.
FTP Choose SFTP, and set up strong passwords.
AP hotspot: Choose WPA2-PSK encryption mode, and set up strong passwords.
10. Audio and Video Encrypted Transmission
If your audio and video data contents are very important or sensitive, we recommend that you
use encrypted transmission function, to reduce the risk of audio and video data being stolen
during transmission.
Reminder: encrypted transmission will cause some loss in transmission efficiency.
11. Secure Auditing
Check online users: we suggest that you check online users regularly to see if the device is
logged in without authorization.
Check device log: By viewing the logs, you can know the IP addresses that were used to log
in to your devices and their key operations.
12. Network Log
Due to the limited storage capacity of the device, the stored log is limited. If you need to save
the log for a long time, it is recommended that you enable the network log function to ensure
that the critical logs are synchronized to the network log server for tracing.
13. Construct a Safe Network Environment
In order to better ensure the safety of device and reduce potential cyber risks, we recommend:
Disable the port mapping function of the router to avoid direct access to the intranet
devices from external network.
The network should be partitioned and isolated according to the actual network needs. If
there are no communication requirements between two sub networks, it is suggested to
use VLAN, network GAP and other technologies to partition the network, so as to achieve
the network isolation effect.
Establish the 802.1x access authentication system to reduce the risk of unauthorized access
to private networks.
