INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL SYSTEM This chapter describes the preparatory commissioning of the HMD Saros, in terms of both mechanical assembly and electrical installation. 6.1 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION For safety reasons, the electrical installation must always be carried out by an authorised specialist.
6.2 POWER SUPPLY FROM THE ELECTRICITY GRID The power electronics of the HMD Saros are designed for an input voltage of around 24 V at the 24 V DC In terminal. This is used to produce the regulated , 7 V...
Illustration 4: Connection of external devices Supply of external devices with 24 V The control system features an isolated and voltage-stabilized 24 V power supply able to supply a maximum current of 500 mA for the supply of the external devices, command devices and sensors.
Limit switches The HMD Saros control system is preconfigured for operation on doors and barriers with limit switches and encoder. It is possible to use limit switches of various types (proximity switches, mechanical switches, etc.) but these must all be designed as normally closed contacts.
Mechanically fit the two limit switches into the correct limit positions of the • barrier. Connect the signal line from the CLOSE limit switch to terminal IN1. • Connect the signal line from the OPEN limit switch to terminal IN2. •...
Connect the signal line from STOP to terminal IN6. • Switch on control system’s power supply and check function. • Operating keys OPEN To open the barrier in automatic mode (with self-locking), an ‘OPEN’ pushbutton (normally open contact) can be connected to the “In5” input. The input is configured such that, when activated, it moves the barrier in the OPEN direction until the limit switch is reached.
Check that the keys work. • 6.5 FIXED SAFETY CONTACT STRIPS The fixed safety contact strips (8.2 kΩ) for the protection of the barrier can be connected directly to the plug-in terminals at the bottom right on the input terminal block. Terminals nos.

An external aerial can be connected to this receiver underneath the module using the plug-in terminal. The internal conductor of the coaxial cable from the aerial is connected to the right-hand terminal no.2 (towards the housing side). The shielding of the aerial cable is connected to the left-hand terminal no.
PROGRAMMING AND SETTINGS The following installations and, where applicable, parameter settings are useful or necessary for commissioning the control system and setting up the barrier. All configurations and displays that should be accessible only to a trained technician are protected by a password. 7.1 CHANGING THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION OF THE DRIVE If the barrier moves in the wrong direction when the barrier motor is started up for the first time, the direction of rotation of the motor can be changed by...
Boom length Value Boom length Value 3 meter 5 meter >3 meter >5 meter 4 meter 6 meter >4 meter 7.3 REFERENCE RUN To ensure that the drive motor can reduce its maximum speed just before reaching the limit switches, the control system must measure the motor runtime between the barrier’s limit positions by performing a reference movement.
7.4 DETERMINE THE MAXIMUM SWITCH-OFF THRESHOLD OF THE MOTOR POWER The SAROS control has a continuous measurement of the motor current during the movement. It is possible to define a threshold value for the maximum motor current via software, it must not be exceeded. If the current measurement shows that this threshold has been reached or is exceeded, the motor is stopped by the software.
BARRIER STATUS INDICATIONS The HMD Saros can signal two different barrier conditions via relay outputs. The output relay “Rel2” is preset by the manufacturer such that it is active, i.e. the contact is closed, when the barrier OPEN position is reached. The same applies for the “Rel3”...
settings in automatic mode. The parameterisation of these times for each menu is described below. Hold-open time When the OPEN limit position is reached, the barrier can be automatically closed again by the control system after an adjustable time period (0 to 3600 seconds). If a value of 0 is entered, the closing-run timer is switched off and the barrier remains open until the next CLOSE command.
STOP key) a time counter starts that automatically closes the barrier again after 20 seconds. This value can only be changed if the password has been entered. Closing run shortening with a light barrier When a light barrier is used, the control system can enter a shorter hold-open time (OPEN limit position) after the barrier has passed through the light barrier.
The entry “zz” defines a number of cycles (in 1000 cycles) in which the barrier moves “Open” and then “Closed” again. The counter is incremented every time the “CLOSE” limit position is reached. If the counter reaches the preset value of “zz”, the maintenance request is activated by the control system.
barrier’s limit position (flashlight does not go out until 4, 8 or 12 seconds after motor standstill). The additional activation of the flashlight for the maintenance request can be parametrised as follows: Menu: “Service Access”, “Password Input”: Enter password • Menu: “Settings”, “Special parameters”, “Maintenance action”: set 0 to 3.
The parameters stored as a backup copy in a separate memory area can be re- activated as current operating parameters of the control system. Following an incorrect configuration of the HMD Saros it is therefore possible to retrieve the (functional) set of backed-up parameters as follows: Menu: “Service Access”, “Password Input”: Enter password.
