SWITCHBOARDS, PROGRAMMABLE FOR 1 OR 2 MOTORS
IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL THE SWITCHBOARD BEFORE READING THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
1. Introduction.
The Argo control unit is an apparatus fit to manage operation and control of 1 or 2 wing gates with 230V AC motors and power of up to 600W each.
The time functioning of the control unit, being of electronic type, is extremely precise. It is however possible that, due to the type of the motor
normally utilised, the corner of the travelling time of the wing is strongly influenced by the frictions that the wing self meets during the
course.
Consequently , also if the time is correctly set, the corner of the wings' opening can not be always the same wished.
Therefore it is advisable that the installer considers it, increasing, if necessary, the times of work in the more consonant measure with
the installation and making anyway attention to the fact that an excessive increasing of the time could mask the slowing down in opening
and in closure (see paragraph 6).
For the correct functioning it is also necessary the installation of the mechanical stops in opening and in closure (see pag. 6).

The time functioning of the control unit, being of electronic type, is extremely precise.
  • Page 2: Safety Warnings

    SAFETY WARNINGS • Some points of the electrical card are under voltage. Therefore, the installation, the opening and the programming of board have to be done only by qualified staff. All the operations executed by the user do not require box opening. •...

Using a staple, press the hidden button of a transmitter already learned. The learning function is pointed out when the blinking light switches on.
  • Page 4 6.2 Torque adjusting of the motor. The control unit Is furnished with a trimmer for adjusting the torque supplied to the motor, in order to limit the force of gate against some obstacles that might get in the way during motion (for ex. poor/fair functioning of photocells). POWER For regulating the torque applied by the motor, proceed as follows: •...
  • Page 5 Installation notes: Power supply to ALLMATIC photocells, or compatible types, must be connected to different terminals, depending on wheter it is necessary to activa- te or de-activate testing on the photocells. The correct wiring diagram for a couple of photocells is the following:...

  • Page 7 8. Additional variations. If the water hammer or the electronic locking activation are not matched with gate characteristics, these may be modified inserting the learned instruc- tion that follow. These instructions are carried out with a 4 button transmitter, in which all the keys have been learnt by the central unit. To enter the learning function, the gate must be closed.
  • Page 8 8.4. Adjustment returned motion. Once performed movement gate regulation, it is possible that the point in which the wings stop the opening phase does not correspond to the one programmed. Two situations may be presented: 1. Wings opening-corner, equivalent to opening gate condition, DECREASE to each reversal motion and/or by intervent of photocells. 2.

    11.2 Additional radio channel. If the radio receiver operates on card bases, there is the possibility to fit the control unit with an output block for an additional radio channel (with N.A. contact). However, the additional channel is not available if you are using the hybrid module contained as standard in the control unit. 11.3 Exit electronic locking.
