SN LED FUNCTIONS

This procedure will reset the memory (erases old information / prepares the memory to receive new remote controls).

• Flashes once (60-Hz power source).
• Flashes twice (50-Hz power source).
• Flashes normally* 3 times (Opening cycle).
• Flashes normally* 4 times (Closing cycle).
• Flashes inversely** 3 times (Opening cycle with encoder failure).
• Flashes inversely** 4 times (Closing cycle with encoder failure).
• Flashes normally* 5 times (Gate path reset).
• Flashes in 'clock mode' every one second (counting the time for automatic closing).
• Continuously lit (photocell input activated).

ELECTRONIC LOCK INPUT

The ECU will enable or disable the electromagnetic lock automatically when a relay module is connected or disconnected to the TRV connector.

An electromagnetic lock installation results in a 1-second delay on the opening command. The electromagnetic lock activation time is 3 seconds.

FUNCTIONS OF "+" AND "-" BUTTONS

• In access operations, i.e., when the levers of the DIP Switch are off, they are used as opening / closing commands.
• When programming the ECU (any lever(s) of the DIP Switch on) or adding a remote control, they are used as an input to the memory update.

FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS

1. The gate must be still.
2. Turn lever 1 on.
3. SN LED remains off.
4. Press and release the (+) button.
5. SN LED rapidly flashes once.
6. In order to finish, turn the lever 1 off.
7. Analog end-of-stroke.

After resetting it to the default factory setting, if the operator uses a digital end-of-stroke system (encoder sensor hall), a new path acquiring is necessary for a proper operation.

DEFAULT FACTORY SETTINGS:

• Strength = maximum.
• Soft start = disabled.
• Semiautomatic mode (Push-to-close).
• Opening / Closing time = 4 minutes
• Brake strength = level 1.
• Brake activation time= 400 milliseconds.
• Courtesy light time = 60 seconds.
• Traffic light = continuous.
• End-of-stroke = digital.
• Accept a command when opening = enabled.
• Direction movement reversion through a command = enabled.
• Strength of torque control when opening = level 5.
• Strength of torque control when closing = level 5.
• Strength of torque control when opening (path acquiring) = level 9.
• Strength of torque control when closing (path acquiring) = level 9.
• Limit of opening end of stroke = path – 16 pulses.
• Limit of opening end of stroke = path – 16 pulses.
• FCF (Closing end-of-stroke) adjustment = 0-pulse setback.
• FCA (Opening end-of-stroke) adjustment = 0-pulse setback.

SELECTING THE END-OF-STROKE TYPE

(ANALOG OR DIGITAL)

1. The gate must be still.
2. Turn the lever 3 on.
3. SN LED remains off.
4. Choose the type of end-of-stroke:

5. In order to change the type of end-of-stroke, go back to step 4.
6. In order to finish, turn the lever 3 off.
7. The SN LED will keep flashing 5 times, indicating that the path is reset (digital end-of-stroke).

Whenever a new type of end-of-stroke is chosen, the opening / closing time is reset to the 4-minute default factory setting (analog end-of-stroke) or the path is reset (digital end-of-stroke). For applications with a digital end-ofstroke, in order to have a proper operation, a new path acquiring is mandatory.

SELECTING HYBRID END-OF-STROKE

The encoder cable (Reed digital) must be connected to the ENC and the analog end-of-stroke must be connected to the HBD.

1. The gate must be still.
2. Turn the levers 3 and 8 on.
3. SN LED remains off.
4. Press the (+) button.

SN LED flashes once.

When using a hybrid system, there is no need to acquire the path. On the first command, the ECU automatically does it, in normal speed.

SELECTING THE APPLICATION TYPE

ENABLING OR DISABLING A COMMAND ON OPENING CYCLE / DELAY WHEN OPENING

It is a permission for a pushbutton / remote control command to be accepted during the opening cycle.

It also has the function of programming the pushbutton / remote control operation mode when the ECU is counting the time for delaying an opening with the traffic light switched on.

The gate opening delay time interval can be cancelled through a pushbutton or a remote control.

Partial opening – When the gate is totally closed and it receives an opening command, the traffic light will be switched on through the programmed time and then the opening cycle of the gate will start. If during the delay time interval it receives a new command, the traffic light will be switched off and the time will be reset. Only during the opening cycle a command is ignored.

Total opening – When the gate is totally closed and it receives an opening command, the traffic light will be switched on through the programmed time and then the opening cycle of the gate will start. During the delay time interval and the opening cycle, a command will be ignored.

SETTINGS:

0 = command when opening enabled.

1 = command in partial opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 5 seconds.

2 = command in partial opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 10 seconds.

3 = command in partial opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 15 seconds.

4 = command in total opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 5 seconds.

5 = command in total opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 10 seconds.

6 = command in total opening, opening delay time interval with traffic light on = 15 seconds.

Instructions:

1. The gate must be still;
2. Turn the levers 8 and 2 on;

4. Press the (+) button to increase the value; SN LED rapidly flashes once;
5. Press the (-) button to decrease the value; SN LED rapidly flashes once;
6. In order to finish, turn the levers 8 and 2 off.
