SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND PRELIMINARY CHECKS WARNING! Important instructions for the safety of people, READ CAREFULLY! Save this manual for future consultation. Do not allow children to play with the fixed command devices, or in the gate’s area of operation. Keep any remote control devices (i.e. transmitters) away from the children as well Children are forbidden to carry out cleaning and maintenance unless accompanied by adults.

DEFAULT SETTINGS LThe control panel is supplied with a DEFAULT SETTINGS: working time and delay are set for a standard 90° opening. To reload the DEFAULT SETTINGS: - Press BREAK to cut the power OFF and ON - Turn SENS to the maximum (+) and POWER to half position. BROWSING THE MENU Use SET: SET TX...
OPERATION MODE Choose the operation mode you wish selecting the switches SW1 – SW2. The control panel is supplied with the following default settings: SOFT START MOTOR TEST ACTIVATED PHOTOCELL TEST How to read switch position: WHITE switch DOWNWARD = Function OFF WHITE switch UPWARD = Function ON ATTENTION:Turn the power off before setting the switches SWITCH SW1...

RADIO CODES The control panel DOESN’T ALLOW TO STORE any remote control if SAFETY DEVICES are DISCONNECTED. Make sure input no. 2 STOP (DL5), input no. 5 photocell in OPENING (DL7) and input no. 6 photocell in CLOSING (DL8) are connected. Led OFF = input DEACTIVATED Led ON = input ACTIVED...
PROGRAMMING The control panel is supplied with a SEQUENTIAL PROGRAMMING DEFAULT (obstacle detection excluded) AUTOMATIC mode 8.1.1 AUTOMATIC mode with OBSTACLE DETECTION for double-leaf gates ATTENTION!: Before proceeding to programming, start a functional cycle test to proof the motors’ thrust. The thrust has to be proper to the gate weight no matters if light or heavy gates.
8.1.2 AUTOMATIC mode with OBSTACLE DETECTION for single-leaf gates ATTENTION!: The motor has to be wired to M1 input (orange terminal JP7, blocks 12 – 13 – 14) Switch SW1, dip no. 1 = ON. Gate in CLOSING position. SENS in half position. If during programming the gates stop before reaching the ground endstops, turn SENS (sensitivity) clockwise (to +).
SEQUENTIAL MODE 8.2.1 SEQUENTIAL mode WITHOUT Obstacle Detection for double-leaf gates ATTENTION! Before proceeding to programming, start a functional cycle test to proof the motors’ thrust. he thrust has to be proper to the gate weight no matters if light or heavy gates. If adjustments are needed, regulate POWER so that the gate doesn’t stop opposing a light contrast pressure.
TROUBLE SHOOTING – ERROR MESSAGES The control panel is designed to display errors through a LED lighting system. Here below the trouble shooting table. ERROR POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION • Photocell test 2 blinks Check the wiring and operation of the photocell. + blinker stop 2 blinks ..
