      What do the buttons and indicators on my speed gate control panel represent?

      Explanation of the buttons and indicators on the control panel of a Boon Edam speed gate/access gate.

      The control panel for your security or access gate (the TouchM) is typically installed at a reception desk or another remote location for convenient operation.

      The buttons on the control panel are customised and programmed to reflect the specific features and options available for your gate.
