7.3 - Recognition of the gate opening and closing positions

It is necessary for the control unit to recognise the gate leaf opening and closing positions; during this phase the length of the gate leaf is
measured between the closing and opening limit switches, as it is necessary to calculate the slowdown and partial opening points. Besides the
positions, the STOP input configuration is detected and memorised in this phase in addition to the presence or absence of the connection in
"Phototest" mode of the PHOTO input.
01. Release the gearmotor and bring the gate to its midway point, then lock the gearmotor again.
02. Press and hold CLOSE t and SET simultaneously
03. Release the buttons when the manoeuvre starts (after approx. 3 seconds).
04. Check that the manoeuvre under way is a closing manoeuvre. If not, press STOP and carefully read paragraph 5.1 with the relative
figures then repeat the process from Step 01
05. Wait for the control unit to complete the recognition phase: closing, opening and closing.
06. Press and release the SbS button to perform a complete opening manoeuvre.
07.
Press and release the SbS button to perform a complete closing manoeuvre.
If the above conditions are not satisfied, immediately disconnect the power supply from the control unit and carefully check the electrical connec-
tions. If LEDs L2 and L3 flash at the end of the recognition process, it means that an error has occurred; see Chapters 9 ("Diagnostics") and 10
("Troubleshooting"). The leaf length recognition phase and the configuration of the STOP and PHOTO inputs can be repeated again at any time,
even after the installation (for example, if one of the limit switch arms is shifted): simply repeat the procedure from Step 01.

7.4 - Checking the gate's movement

Once the gate length recognition phase is completed, it is advisable to carry out a few manoeuvres in order to verify that the gate moves properly.
01. Press the SbS button to command an opening manoeuvre; check that gate opens correctly, without any speed variations; the gate
must only slow down when it is between 50 and 30 cm from the opening limit switch and stop, as a result of the limit switch, at 2–3
cm from the mechanical opening stop
02. Press the SbS button to command a closing manoeuvre; check that gate closes correctly, without any speed variations; the gate must
only slow down when it is between 50 and 30 cm from the closing limit switch and stop, as a result of the limit switch, at 2–3 cm from
the mechanical closing stop
03.
During the manoeuvre, check that the warning light flashes at intervals of 0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off.
04. Open and close the gate several times to make sure that there are no points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the
assembly or adjustments
05.
Check that the ROAD gearmotor, rack and limit switch arms are solid, stable and suitably resistant even during sudden gate accelera-
tion or slowdown movements

7.5 - Incorporated radio receiver

The control unit has an incorporated radio receiver for remote control, which operates at a frequency of 433.92 MHz and is compatible with the
following types of transmitters (due to the fact that the type of coding differs, the first transmitter inserted also determines the type of those mem-
orised subsequently – up to 100 transmitters can be memorised):
The following codes are supported: Flor, O-code and Smilo

7.6 - Programming the functions

There are two groups of programming processes:
• Level 1 programming (Paragraph 7.6.1): functions adjustable in ON-OFF mode; in this case, LEDs L1 and L3 indicate a function. With the LED on
the function is active, when it is off the function is not active (Table 5).
• Level 2 programming (Paragraph 7.6.3): parameters settable on a scale of values (from 1 to 3). In this case, each LED (L1, L2 and L3) indicates
one of the 3 possible set values (Table 7).
7.6.1 - Programming the Level 1 functions (ON-OFF functions)
The programmable functions available on ROAD are subdivided into 2 levels:
Level one: the functions can be adjusted in ON-OFF (active or inactive) mode. In this case, each LED L1...L3 indicates one function; when lit
the function is active, when it is off, the function is not active; see Table 5.
LED Function
L1 Long/Short slowdown
L2 Motor speed
L3 Automatic closing
During normal operation of ROAD, LEDs L1, L2 and L3 are on/off depending on the status of the respective function; for instance, L3 is on when
the "Automatic closing" function is active.

Table 5 - Programmable functions: Level 1
Description
This function allows for choosing whether to activate long or short slowdown
If the function has not been activated, the "short" mode applies
This function allows for selecting the motor's opening and closing speed among 2 levels:
"fast" and "slow"
If the function has not been activated, the "slow" mode applies
This function allows for closing the gate automatically after a programmed pause time; the
default Pause Time is 30 seconds but can be modified to 15 or 60 seconds (see Table 7)
If the function has not been activated, the "semi-automatic" mode applies
