Radio button The transmitters to be programmed must be of the “Stylo4K” or “Stylo2K” series by King Gates. See adjacent pictures. If, at the start of the following procedures, the “set”, “radio” and “start” LEDs flash, it means that the programming protections have been activated – see Paragraph 16.1.

Programming the gate path Trimmer Power DIP 1 e 2 Start button Set button Radio button To start the system up, one of the following programming procedures must be carried out: - basic programming of the automation’s movement: self-learning of the manoeuvre times and of the slowdown start points. - advanced programming of the automation’s movement: self-learning of the manoeuvre times and manual setting of the slowdown start points.
CAUTION! - if the automation starts a closing stroke instead of an opening stroke, proceed as follows: 1. quit programming by pressing SET and RADIO at the same time: for SWING GATE MOTORS: swap the motor phases (terminals MOT1, MOT2) and the inputs of any limit switches (terminals 10-11, 13-14) for SLIDING GATE MOTORS: change the setting of DIP8, see par.
5.3 - Advanced programming of the automation’s movement With this procedure, the control unit memorises the times and power required for opening and closing the system. Moreover, this procedure allows for setting: - start point of gate deceleration area or its deletion - reverse direction of travel LEAF 1 LEAF 2...
