LED indication When the control unit switched on (and with no protection activated), the yellow “Set the green “Photo” and “Stop” LEDs turn on indicating that the two safety contacts are closed circuits. 7.1 - Input status indication LEDs The following signals refer to the standby mode (after 12seconds after power up and inactivity). GREEN PHOTO LED: - OFF if at least one of the PHO1 or PHO2 contacts (terminals 5-6-7) is opened GREEN STOP LED:...
RESET procedure Reset procedure deletes gate travel parameters (par. 5) and all advanced functions (par. 10). It can be performed in case of programming mistakes and it brings the STARG8 control board to factory settings. This reset doesn’t affect memorised radio transmitters (see par. 4 for radio transmitters management). 1.

MEMO 2000 - backup and restore (optional) MEMO 2000 Memo 2000 is an accessory memory module with two functions: • alternative radio memory with a storable capacity of 1500 radio transmitters. It can be permanently installed in STARG8 control unit and then all memorized remote controls saved by the procedure of paragraph 4 are stored into this module.

F.A.Q. Problem Symptoms / Causes Solution 9a The control unit LEDs No power to the control unit. Check for mains power – see Paragraph 2.2 / 2.3. are turned off For solar/ battery power check 24VDC power to the board. The fuses blown.
Professional (Advanced) programming The following programming sequences are not necessary for standard installations. 12. Backjump adjustment 13. AUX output programming 13.1 - Programming of the button linked to the “AUX” output 13.2 - Selection of device connected to “AUX” output 13.3 - Selection of “AUX”...
Backjump adjustment This procedure allows for adjusting or eliminating the backjump function. Backjump is inverting the gate movement at the end of the travel to facilitate easy unlocking and manual release as well as to safeguard the mechanical system. On certain motors backjump is unnecessary, therefore the value is set to 1 by default.
AUX output programming These programming sequences are not essential to the system’s operation, though they allow for setting the type (lock or courtesy light), work mode and output voltage of the devices connected to the AUX output. To interrupt the following programming sequences at any time, press the SET and RADIO buttons simultaneously or wait 10 seconds.
13.2 - Selection of device connected to “AUX” output Default = electric lock 12V This procedure allows for setting the “AUX” output for the operation as: ELECTRIC LOCK: the control unit closes the AUX contact (terminals 3-4) whenever a command is received. By default the contact is closed for 2 seconds (electric lock mode ).
To control the AUX contact set as courtesy light, a radio command must be registered through the procedure indicated in Paragraph 13.1 and connect a suitable relay (see paragraph 13). 13.4 - Selection of “AUX” output voltage (only for STARG8 24) STARG8 AC (FIXED VOLTAGE OF 12V AC) STARG8 24: Default=12VDC The output voltage of the AUX contact can be set to 12VDC or 24VDC, depending on the connected lock or the available relay.
Safety device advanced programming sequences These programming sequences are not essential to the system’s operation, but they allow for controlling the safety devices by activating the photo-test—when photocells are installed—or controlling the resistance when 8.2kOhm resistive edges are mounted. To interrupt the following programming sequences at any time, press the SET and RADIO buttons simultaneously or wait 10 seconds.
14.2 - Selection of the outputs linked to the photo-test Default = PHO1 and PHO2 contacts (terminals 5-6) With this procedure, it is possible to decide on which safety devices to carry out the photo-test. 1. PRESS THE START BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS 3 LEDs turn on and then all LEDs turn off (if not, consult Paragraph 16.1) 2.
Setting the wired commands These programming sequences allow: 1) for locking wired commands, ONLY transmitters working 2) changing the wired commands start and pedestrian inputs to OPEN and CLOSE protection has been activated – see Paragraph 16.1. To interrupt the following programming sequences at any time, press the SET and RADIO buttons simultaneously or wait 10 seconds.
15.2 - Activating/deactivating start and pedestrian security mode Default = wired start input and start button of the control unit are activated . This programming sequence allows for better security by disabling the operation of the “start” / “ped” wired input and the start button on the control unit.
16.3 - Energy saving mode (only for STARG8 24) This feature cuts the power supply to the photocells when the control unit is on standby, therefore it decreases the power consumption. It is useful in case of battery power supply conditions.
