ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To gain access to the connections area first open the release lever cover then undo the screw shown in fig. M and remove the
casing. The connection cables enter the casing from under the motor unit (fig. N) through two cable glands.
Use extremely flexible cables that are suitable for the ambient conditions in the place of installation; a rigid cable
and/or one that is not approved for the specific application can impair the operation and safety of the automation.
The gear motor external cable must follow a loop path such that it does not create an obstruction and is not subject to
chafing during movement of the gate.
ENCODER
The actuators are all equipped with an encoder: a sensor that detects all speed changes and allows the Cardin control unit to
manage slowing down stages precisely and detect obstacles and stroke end stops.
Wherever possible, we recommend making this additional connection.
Note that all warranties concerning correct operation of the encoder are only applicable to Cardin products.
For the connections sequence refer to figs. L and O in the two versions (model BLADE 230V and BLADE 24V). The
recommended minimum wire cross section is 0.5 mm and the maximum length is 10 m.
With 230V BLADE models it is preferable to use a separate cable to connect the encoder to the control unit.
CONNECTION OF ACTUATOR BLADE3, BLADE3REV, BLADE5 and BLADE5REV.
To connect models equipped with a 230V motor refer to fig. L; the minimum wire cross section is 1.5 mm.
Connect the capacitor between the two motor phases.
CONNECTION OF MOTOR BLADE324, BLADE524 and BLADE524REV.
To connect models equipped with a 24V motor refer to fig. O; the recommended minimum wire cross section is 1.5 mm.
For connection distances greater than 10 m the minimum wire cross section is 2.5 mm.
STANDARDS AND SAFETY
Industry standard EN 12445 requires that all automations pass an impact test conducted using a specific test
instrument.
It is therefore necessary to carry out impact tests and adjust the control unit parameters until the reading is acceptable; if this
proves insufficient to bring the reading to within the limits shown in the chart specified by the standard, install a soft rubber
profile on the upper edge of the gate leaf to cushion the impact. If these measures are insufficient, install alternative devices
such as a sensitive safety edge along the gate leaf.
