  • Page 13: Description Of Controller

    WARNING Only use accessories that comply with the applicable standards. 2.3 Description of controller The FirePro is a controller for vertically-operating fire and/or smoke-proof doors (for example, shutter sectional doors and fire hatches) that feature a FailSafe drive unit (FS series) by GfA- Elektromaten.

  • Page 14: Functioning

    3 Functioning 3.1 Functioning The FirePro covers a cabinet with a control circuit board in combination with a power supply/charger. This controller can operate as “hold to run” as well as automatically when in normal mode. Operation in normal mode is possible using the buttons on the cabinet and/or the external up, stop and down controls.
  • Page 15 In case of a fire alarm, the door will be released immediately or after an extended period of time. There are two fire alarm inputs. The menu can be used to decide whether or not they must be reset so that the door is restored to normal operating mode. If a fire alarm input must be reset, a time delay can be selected for releasing the door.
  • Page 16 If the safety edge or photocell safety feature is activated in case of closure during a fire alarm, power failure or almost empty battery, the controller will regard the concerned safety feature to be faulty if it is activated continuously for 120 seconds (factory setting) or longer, and the door will then continue closing without the safety feature! It is possible to connect an escape button, whereby the door can be opened in case of a fire alarm (if mains power is still present), to allow someone to escape.

  • Page 17: Safety

    4 Safety 4.1 Safety systems Only use safety products that comply with the applicable norms. Examples include: safety edges, photocells, smoke detectors and heat detectors. 4.2 Safety arrangements Only qualified personnel, who possess the required equipment and knowledge, are permitted to perform activities on this controller.

  • Page 18: Meaning Of Warning Signals

    WARNING The controller can only be managed by people who have read the user manual and are thus sufficiently familiar with the functioning, operation, maintenance, etc. of the controller, as described in this user manual. DANGER It is forbidden to remove, bypass or deactivate safety features and protective devices. CAUTION Make sure that all safety features are correctly activated again after all maintenance activities and other interventions.
