6. Unscrew the bolts fixing the base to the clamps and put the motor on the plate POSITIONING OF THE MOTOR To fix FORTECO, follow the instructions below: 7. Insert the 4 grains with their nuts in the proper place. Adjust the 4 grains to make the motor be perfectly levelled 1.

MOUNTING THE RACK FIXING OF THE MOTOR Release the motor and turn the gate completely open. Check the following points: Fix all the rack elements to the gate, making sure that they stand 1. the motor must be on a levelled surface and perfectly parallel at the same height than the motor pinion.
MOTOR OVERRIDING SYSTEM In case of absence of current, the gate can be released by operating on the motor: 1. Open the hatch of the lock J in front of the motor 2. Insert the key K in the lock and turn clockwise to open the hatch of the release on the side 3.
UNIT Use the eyelet provided. The digital control unit PD18 is an innovative V2 S.p.A. product that guarantees a safe and reliable automation of sliding gates. The PD18 has been designed to realize a product that meets all kind of requirements, with a highly versatile control unit that satisfies all the necessary requirements for a functional and efficient installation.
• Connect receiver output of photocells 1 between terminals P7 and P11 of the control unit and receiver output of photocells In addition, the V2 wireless edge system may be managed (see 2 between terminals P8 and P11 of the control unit.
STOP For a better safety, you can fit a stop switch that will cause the immediate gate stop when activated. This switch must have a normally close contact that will get open in case of operation. In case the stop switch is operated while the gate is open, the automatic closing function will always be disabled.
Safety ribbons type 1 (fixed). N.C. contact unit allows the connection to V2 optional modules. Safety ribbons type 2 (mobile). N.C. contact Refer to V2 catalogue or to the technical sheets to see which Common (-) optional modules with ADI interface are available for this control unit.
CONTROL PANEL USE OF THE PROGRAMMING When power is on, the control unit checks that display correctly WHEEL operates by switching on all segments for 1.5 sec. 8.8.8.8. A special configuration menu – accessible and explorable by Firmware version, e.g. Pr I.6, will be viewed in the following 1.5 means of the small wheel on the right side of the display - allows sec.
LOADING OF DEFAULT SELF-LEARNING OF WORKING PARAMETERS TIMES If necessary, it is possible to restore all the parameters to their standard or default value (see table at the end) This menu allows the automatic learning of the times necessary to open and close the gate. During this phase, the control unit memorizes also the forces WARNING: This procedure causes the loss of all the necessary to open and close the gate: these values will be...
OBSTACLE SENSOR Function menu setup Function menus allow selecting a function from among a group The PD18 control unit has two independent systems allowing of available options. When you enter into a function menu, the detection of whether gate movement is impeded by obstacles. current active option will be viewed;...

Opening time The motor will be operated for the setup time in the opening phase; in case there is an obstacle or the end of stroke operates, the control unit can stop the opening phase before the relevant time expires. Partial opening time (pedestrian access) When the control unit receives a Start Pedestrian command, it will open the gate only, for a shorter time.
Page 18
Gate Direction This menu allows to invert the opening direction of the gate without swapping motor wires and limit switch ones. the gate opens rightwards the gate opens leftwards WARNING: “opening direction of gate” means the direction you see from the inside. Motor power This menu allows adjusting the motor power.
Page 19
Brake Function When a sliding motor is used with a very heavy gate, because of the inertia, the gate does not block immediately when stopped and its motion can last for another 10 cm, compromising the working of the safety devices. This menu allows enabling the brake function thanks to which it is possible to block immediately the gate after a control or the intervention of a safety device.

Start command during the closing phase This menu allows fixing the control unit conduct in case it receives a Start command during the closing phase. StoP The gate stops and its cycle is considered as finished APEr The gate opens again Select option StoP, to set up the “step-by-step”...

Closing after transit During the automatic operation, the pause count down starts from the set up value each time a photocell operates during the pause. If the photocell operates during the opening time, this time will be immediately stored as pause time. This function allows having a fast closing as soon as transit through the gate is completed, therefore, a time shorter than CH.AU is generally used.
Page 22
Blinker during pause time Blinker usually operates during the gate motion only; however, if this function is enabled, blinker will be on during the pause time too (gate open with automatic closure activated). Start input function This menu allows selecting input operation modes (see paragraph “Activation inputs”): StAn Start and Pedestrian Start input standard operation,...

Otherwise, it will stand still and the flashing light will stay onfor 5 sec. The whole test cycle lasts less than one second WARNING: V2 suggests to keep activated the test of the photocells in order to grant a higher safety of the system.

Test enabled for conductive rubber safety edges W.L. Wireless edge system test enabled WARNING: V2 suggests to keep activated the test of the photocells in order to grant a higher safety of the system. End of Stroke Inputs PD18 control unit allows connecting magnetic limit switch which are activated by the door motion and showing to the control unit that each door reached its position of complete opening or closing.

Enabling the ADI device This menu makes it possible to enable operation of the device connected to the ADI connector. interface disabled, any signals will be ignored interface enabled PLEASE NOTE: selecting Si and pressing MENU accesses the configuration menu for the device connected to the ADI connector. This menu is managed by the device itself and is different for each device.
READING OF CYCLE COUNTER Area 2 is the reading of the number of cycles before the next request for service: its value is rounded down to the hundreds. PD18 control unit counts the completed opening cycles of the gate and, if requested, it shows that service is required after a Area 3 is the setup of this latter counter;...
