Standard
Standard & pedestrian function
No self-hold (hold to run)
Note: If important safety equipment ( photocell/contact strip) is damaged, constantly active (switching) or if programmed equipment is not
connected, the control board operates without self-hold (hold to run). See description. For any corrections, check the status LEDs or see
functional description and "Frequently asked questions".
ACCESSORIES

PHOTOCELLS (OPTIONAL)

The photocells are for safeguarding the gate and must be used. The
fitting location depends on the gate's design. EN12453 specifies that
a pair of photocells must be installed at a height of 200mm; a second
pair must be installed in the same position at a height of 700mm. A
third pair of photocells can be optionally installed. The photocells
consist of a transmitter and a receiver and must be opposite each
other. The housing of the photocell (plastic) can be opened using a
screwdriver. The photocell is mounted on the wall using small screws
and wall plugs. It is possible to use two different photocell systems.
(see Dip switch description). To enable the "Automatic closing"
function, the Chamberlain failsafe photocell must be installed. A
combination of photocells is not possible. The Chamberlain failsafe
system (2-cable system) has small LEDs (light) that can be seen from
the outside on both sides to indicate the status of the photocell. Two
Chamberlain failsafe photocell models are available. The one model
is ideal for walls lying opposite. The other model is ideal for the inside
of the gate, because fittings are already available.
Diagnosis at the Chamberlain failsafe photocell
LED constant = OK
LED flashes = photocell disables control board
LED off = no current, incorrect connection or polarity
Diagnosis on the control board
LED off = OK
LED on constantly = control board disables
LED flashes = OK no photocell connected
Cable cross-section: 0.5 mm
Voltage: 12/24 volts AC/DC.
Do not use any fixed copper lines. Do not lay any 230 volt cables in
parallel and do not lay any 2 cables in the same cable trunking.
