Abstract
An operating system which utilizes a multi-functional wall station for a motorized barrier includes an operator for controlling movement of a barrier between various positions. The operator may receive signals from a wireless or wired wall station transmitter, a wireless keyless entry device and/or a portable remote transmitter device. The multi-function wall station also provides for an operational selection wherein the door may be closed in a normal manner; by an auto-close/delay-open feature, wherein the door closes after a predetermined period of time; or a RF block mode, wherein the station prevents transmission of any remote radio frequency signals to the operating system. The delay-open feature is initiated by actuating a delay switch when the barrier is in a closed position. After a predetermined period of time the operator moves the barrier to an open position. The predetermined period of time is user adjustable.
