4 - CONTROL UNIT
PD13 is provided with a display that, not only makes
programming simple, but also allows a continuous monitoring of
the input statuses; in addition, thanks to a menu structure, the
working schedule and the operation logic can be set easily.
In compliance with the European standards concerning
electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility
(EN 60335-1, EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1) it has been
equipped with the low voltage circuit total electric insulation
(motors included) from the network voltage.
Other characteristics:
• Power supply protected from short circuits within the
controller, on the motors and on the connected accessories.
• Adjustment of the power by partializing the current.
• Detecting obstacles by monitoring the current on the motors
(current sensing probe and encoder)
• Automatic learning of the limit switch position
• Tests for safety devices (photocells, safety ribbons and
mosfet) before each opening.
• Deactivation of safety inputs through the configuration
menu: no jumper is required for terminals concerning safety
devices that have not been installed, yet. You will only need
to disable this function from its relevant menu.
• The device can operate without mains power, by using the
optional battery pack (code 161212).
• Low voltage output that can be used for a signal light or a
24 V flashing light.
• Auxiliary relay with programmable logic for courtesy light,
flashing light or other use.
• ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
• Synchronized operation of two motors using the SYNCRO
optional module (compatible with the control units PD13 from
version 1.1 onward)
4.1 - ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
This function is useful for reducing the energy consumption of
the automation device while in stand-by mode.
If the function is enabled, the control unit will enter ENERGY
SAVING mode under the following conditions:
• 30 seconds after completion of an operational cycle
• 30 seconds after an opening (if automatic closure is not
enabled)
• 30 seconds after exiting the programming menu
In ENERGY SAVING mode, power to the accessories, display,
flashing lights and closure electromagnets is deactivated.
ENERGY SAVING mode is exited:
• If an operational cycle is activated
• If one of the keys on the control unit are pressed
Installation of control unit and safety devices must
be carried out with power disconnected.
4.2 - CONNECTING THE MOTOR, LIMIT
SWITCH SENSOR AND ENCODER
The motor, limit switch sensor card and encoder are already
connected to the PD13 control unit by means of polarised
connectors.
