is active and ready to receive commands.
- 1 quick double flash = indicates when the microprocessor reads a varia-
tion in the operating status of an input (either of a control input or function
dipswitch); this occurs then the detected variation does not have immedi-
ate effects.
- 1 very quick flash lasting 3 seconds = indicates that the control unit has
been powered up and is performing the test to check operating status.
- 1 flash at regular intervals = indicates that the operating test has failed
and that therefore a fault has been found.

PARAMETER SETTINGS

The control unit operating parameters can be adjusted by means of the
trimmers (fig. 11) on the unit.
• Work time (TL): In Semi-automatic mode, this parameter sets the maxi-
mum duration of the Opening or Closing manoeuvre To adjust this param-
eter, proceed as follows: a) select the "Semiautomatic" operating mode
and position Dip-Switch 1 at" ON"; b) position "Trimmer TL" to mid-travel;
c) execute a complete Opening and Closing manoeuvre and check that
the maximum duration set for the Opening and Closing manoeuvre is suffi-
cient and that a margin of 2 or 3 seconds remains; if necessary repeat
adjustment of "Trimmer TL" to set the maximum value. If the duration is still
not sufficient, remove the jumper TLM in the vicinity of Trimmer TL (fig. 11),
to obtain an "Extended Work Time" (TLM).
If the deceleration function is required, the trimmer must be set so that the
de celeration phase starts at 50-70 cm before activation of the limit switches.
Any modifications to this parameter are shown during the first opening
manoeuvre following the modification.
• Pause time (TP): When set to "automatic" mode, this parameter sets
the time that passes between the end of an Opening manoeuvre and the
start of a Closing manoeuvre. To adjust this parameter, proceed as follows:
a) select the "automatic" operating mode and position Dip-Switch 2 at"
ON"; b) position "Trimmer TP" as required; c) execute a complete Opening
manoeuvre and check that the time that passes before the start of a Clos-
ing manoeuvre to ensure that the set time is correct.
• Force (F): Caution – Adjustment of this parameter has significant influ-
ence on the degree of automation safety and therefore great care must be
taken during these procedures.
To adjust this parameter, proceed with a trial by error approach: Measure
the force applied by the gate leaf during a manoeuvre and compare the
reading with the values specified by local standards.
Operating mode
Step-step (SS): This mode, used in manual mode (hold-to-run), acti-
vates the Opening and Closing manoeuvres alternately and when the com-
mand completes the manoeuvre it stops.
The manoeuvre is stopped, both on Opening and Closing, when limit
switches are activated and also during Closing the movement is stopped if
there is no permissive of the "Foto" safety devices. On the other hand, if
"ALT" is activated, either in Opening or Closing, the manoeuvre is stopped
immediately with a brief inversion.
When the manoeuvre is stopped, the delivery of the command must be
interrupted by sending another command.
However, when Step Step mode is used in one of the automatic modes
("Semiautomatic", "Automatic" or "Always Close") delivery of a com-
mand activates the Opening and Closing manoeuvre alternately and a
"Stop" function is activated when a second command is delivered. On the
other hand, if "ALT" is activated, either in Opening or Closing, the manoeu-
vre is stopped immediately with a brief inversion.
In the case of automatic mode, there is a pause after an Opening manoeu-
vre, after which the Closing manoeuvre is performed.
During a pause, if the "Foto" safety devices are activated, the timer is reset
with a new pause Time; otherwise if "Alt" is activated during the pause, the
automatic closure function is cancelled and a Stop is activated.
During the Opening manoeuvre activation of a "Foto" device has no effect,
while during closure this causes inversion of movement followed by a
pause and then Closure.
Programmable functions
The control unit has a series of microswitches which enable activation of
various functions to adapt the automation to the specific needs of the user
and increase safety in the various conditions of use.
Dipswitch 1 or 2 is used to activate or deactivate the functions: To activate
the dipswitch is set to "ON" and to deactivate it is set to "OFF".
Some of the functions available regard safety, and it is therefore important
to carefully evaluate which function is the safest.
The dipswitches enable selection of the various operating modes and pro-
gramming of the required functions, as described in Table A:
4 – English
Switch 1-2: Off-Off Manual movement, i.e. hold-to-run
On-Off Semi-automatic movement
Off-On "Automatic" movement, i.e. automatic closure
On-On "Automatic" movement, + "Always Close"
Switch 3: On Apartment block mode (not available in manual mode)
Switch 4: On pre-flash
Switch 5: On Re-close 5 seconds after "Foto" if set to "Automatic"
or "Close after Foto" if set to "Semiautomatic"
Switch 6: On "Foto" safety also on Opening
Switch 7: On Gradual start-up
Switch 8: On Deceleration
Switch 9: On Brake
Switch 10: On Not used
Switch 1-2
In "Manual" mode, the manoeuvre is executed exclusively while the com-
mand is present (while the transmitter key is held down -hold-to-run).
In "Semi-automatic" mode, on delivery of a command the manoeuvre is
executed exclusively until the Work Time elapses or when the limit switch
is reached.
In the case of "automatic" mode, there is a pause after an Opening
manoeuvre, after which the Closing manoeuvre is performed.
The "Always Close" function is activated following a power failure; when
power is restored, if the control unit detects the gate leaf in the Opening
position, it automatically starts a Closing manoeuvre preceded by a 5-sec-
ond pre-flash interval.
Switch 3
In Apartment Block mode, when a Step-Step command is sent and an
Opening manoeuvre is started, this cannot be interrupted by any other
"Step-Step command or "Open" command via radio until the manoeuvre is
completed.
However, during the Closing manoeuvre, delivery of a Step-Step com-
mand causes shutdown of the manoeuvre and immediate inversion of
movement.
Switch 4
When a command is sent, the flashing light is activated first, and after 5
seconds (2 seconds if set to Manual mode) the manoeuvre is started.
Switch 5
This function, if set to "Automatic " mode enables the user to keep the gate
leaf open only for the time required for transit of vehicles or persons; in fact
after activated of the "Foto" safety devices, the manoeuvre is topped and
after 5 seconds a Closing manoeuvre is started automatically.
However, if "Semi-automatic" mode is set, when the "Foto" safety devices
are activated, during a Closing manoeuvre automatic closure is activated
with a duration as set in the "Pause Time".
Switch 6
The "Foto" safety function is normally activated only for Closing manoeu-
vres; if Dipswitch 6 is set to ON activation of the safety device also causes
interruption of the manoeuvre in Opening. On the other hand, if "Semiauto-
matic" or "automatic" mode is set, the Opening manoeuvre is resumed
immediately after the safety devices are released.
Switch 7
When this function is set, the manoeuvre is started up gradually; this
avoids possible jerks in movement of the automation.
Switch 8
Deceleration consists in a 30% reduction of the nominal speed, to reduce
the impact force at the end of a manoeuvre.
Once the deceleration function is enabled, the Work Time (WT) must be
adjusted as the deceleration start depends on the set Work Time. There-
fore the TL must be set so that the deceleration phase starts at 50-70 cm
before activation of the limit switches.
The deceleration function slows down the automation speed and reduces
motor torque by 70%. CAUTION – On automations requiring a high motor
torque, this deceleration function may cause immediate shutdown of the
motor.
Switch 9
When this function is set, a motor braking procedure is performed at the
end of a manoeuvre, initially at a moderate level and then stronger in order
to quickly stop the gate leaf without jerking movements.
Switch 10
Not used.
