AUTOMATIC CLOSING (from the PEDESTRIAN open position)
The Automatic Closing from the pedestrian open position can be
enabled turning ON the DIP3. The maximum gap of time that can be
programmed is 5 minutes (see Point E).

UNCTIONING OF SAFETY ACCESSORIES
PHOTOCELL (PHOT - COM)
In case the switch DIP6 is in the OFF position, the photocells are active
both in gate opening and in gate closing. In this configuration, if an
obstacle cuts the photocell beam:
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will stop and will restart opening
when the obstacle is removed
- while the gate is still, it will not move neither in opening nor in
closing
In case of the switch DIP6 is in the ON position, the photocells are
active only in gate closing.
In this configuration, if an obstacle cuts the photocell beam:
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will continue open
- while the gate is still, it will open if a open command is request, it
will remain still if a close command is request.
The photocell input (PHOT - COM) is a NORMALLY CLOSED contact.
In case there are more couple of photocells, the contacts from all the
photocell receivers could be connected in series.
In case the photocells are not installed, this contact must be short
circuited with a wire jump (from PHOT to COM) to permit the gate to
operate.
AUTOMATIC CLOSING after the transit through the photocell
(DIP17 ON)
This option could be useful to close automatically the gate when the
vehicle left and disengaged the photocell beam. If the DIP17 is turned
ON, this function is activated and the PHOTO input will have two
purposes:
- detect the obstacle and prevent the gate movement in according with
the DIP6 position
- close the gate as soon as the vehicle leaves the photocell beam
If DIP17 ON and DIP6 OFF
If the gate is opening and a vehicle crosses the photo beam,
the gate will stop. When the vehicle leaves, the gate will close
automatically after 1second pause.
If DIP17 ON and DIP6 ON
If the gate is opening and a vehicle crosses the photo beam, the
gate will continue to open. When the vehicle leaves, the gate will
stop and then closes automatically after 1second pause.
If the complete gate open position is reached before the vehicle leaving,
the DIP17 will be ignored and the automatic closing will be managed in
according to the DIP3 position.
PAY ATTENTION: it is highly recommended to check photocells
operation at least every 6 months.
SAFETY ENCODER (PLUS operators, only)
The Encoder acts as a safety device both during gate closing and
opening by reversing the motor movement in case of impact detection.
Any impact is detected if the motor shaft turning has been suddenly and
unexpected blocked.
If the Encoder is faulty (lack of power, disconnected cables, broken or
defective disk), the gate will not move.
STATE OF ALARM FROM ENCODER impact detection
If the gate is moving and the first encoder impact detection occurs, the
gate will reverse in the opposite direction. If a further encoder impact
detection occurs, the gate will reverse again just for 1second. Then,
it will stop and the alarm status will be indicated by the blinking unit
(flashes for 1minute) and by led DL1 (blinks every 2 seconds).
To recover the normal gate operation, it is necessary towait 1 minute or
press any control buttons.
SAFETY STRIP (EDGE - COM)
If an obstacle presses the safety strip:
- while the gate is still, it will not move neither in opening nor in
closing
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will close
In case the safety strip is held pressed a further quick reversion, after
2seconds, is performed. The gate interrupts any movement and this
alarm state will be signalled by the Blinker for 1 minute. The normal
gate operations can be restored by pressing any push button or radio
commands.
If after the first safety strip obstacle detection, the safety strip is
released and then engaged again before the end of the gate travelling,
the gate interrupts any movement and this alarm state will be signalled
by the Blinker for 1 minute. The normal gate operations can be restored
by pressing any push button or radio commands.
The safety strip input (EDGE - COM) is a NORMALLY CLOSED
contact.
In case there are more than one safety strip, all their contacts could be
connected in series.
In case the safety strip is not installed, this contact must be short
circuited with a wire jump (from EDGE to COM) to permit the gate
to operate.
PAY ATTENTION: it is highly recommended to check safety-strips
operation at least every 6 months.
TESTING THE SAFETY STRIP equipment (DIP12 ON)
The DIP12 ON enables the Test of safety strip equipment. The Test is
performed every time the gate completes a full opening. It is suitable
only if the safety strip device is equipped with a dedicated power supply
input.
In fact, the safety strip equipment power supply input has to be
connected to the A+TEST and A- outputs (DIP12 ON). Automatically,
every time the gate completes a full opening, just before closing, the
control board switches OFF the A+TEST and A- power supply output
for a very short time. While the safety strip power supply is switched
OFF, if everything is working fine the safety strip contact (EDGE -
COM) must open. In case the test fails, no other gate manoeuvre will
be allowed and the alarm state will be signalled by the Blinker that will
remain on.
NOT ALL THE SAFETY STRIPS CAN BE TESTED, THUS THE
SWITCH DIP12 MUST BE LEFT OFF.
STOP BUTTON (COM-STOP)
During all the gate movement, the STOP button will stop the motor.
If it is pressed when the gate is still and completely open (or partially
open in the pedestrian position), automatic closing will be temporarily
disabled even if DIP3 is turned ON. Therefore, a new command will be
needed to close the gate.
FUNCTIONING IN DEAD MAN MODE WHEN THE SAFETY DEVICES
ARE FAILING
If the safety edge fails or remains engaged for more than 5 seconds,
or if photocell fails or remain engaded for more than 60 seconds, the
open, close, k button and pedestrian commands will work only in dead
man mode.
The signal that this mode has been activated is given by the blinking of
the programming led.
With the blinking of the programming led, the opening and closing
operation are allowed only with the command button pressed and held.
The radio commands and that of automatic closing, will be excluded,
since their use in this mode, is not allowed by the norms.
Once the failing safety device is repaired,
second, all standard commands that were selected, such as step by
step, automatic mode, radio commands and automatic closing start
functioning again.
