  • Page 2 Dado Door Master Controller Operation Manual This document is an overview of the Dado Door System Controller, which covers all of the programming menu options, including error messages. Introduction to the Dado Door Automation Systems Precautions and Getting started Master Controller Programming LCD and buttons...
  • Page 3 There are two aspects of the Dado Door automation system. The first part of the install is the hardware installation. The second part is programming the door to fit the application.
  • Page 4 Set Closed Position, Closing Trip Level, Set Max Torque All settings designated as “Factory Settings” should never be changed without consulting Dado Door. In the event of the system become inoperable, before powering off the Master, look at the LCD display and see if any error messages are present. For a detailed explanation of error messages, see the error listing section later in this guide.
  • Page 5 Menu CURSOR The Dado Door Master Controller is programmed by entering the Main Menu and scrolling to the various options. To enter the Main Menu, press the SETUP MODE button. This button contains a red LED which should turn on when the button is pressed. The menu will open up to the last setting that was displayed.

  • Page 6: Menu Settings

    MENU SETTINGS: These are the settings found in the Main Menu. 1. Test Motion 2. Closed Position 3. Max Torque 4. Input Config 5. Closing Trip Level 6. Opening Trip Level 7. Home Trip Level 8. Object Detection Level 9. Open Speed 10.

  • Page 7: System Overview And Features

    Additional methods of signaling the door to open or close may be configured. Consult with Dado Door Prior to making any connections to external equipment. AUXIO board may only connect to the AUX port.
  • Page 8 FEATURES (cont'd) Touch Screens: There are two versions of wall mounted touch screens available. These touch screes are not required to operate the door. The Standard Touch Screen has a large main area for door toggle, this area is indicated by two arrows together and is a one-touch button.
  • Page 9 PiNG Proximity Sensor Option: The Ping Sensor is a small device offered by Dado Door that allows for door control when a person gets within a predefined distance from the Pin sensor.
  • Page 10 FEATURES(cont'd) Remote Serial Communication: The controller has several methods of external digital control. There are built-in RJ45 ports that allow RS485 serial interface for access from external digital systems. Advanced home automation systems offer configurable serial communication using a serial protocol. The home automation installer can write own code blocks to operate the door system.
  • Page 11 Overload Trip Levels Closing Trip Level: The Closing Trip Level is a setting at which the door will retract (while closing) upon encountering pressure. This is a safety feature that prevents the motor from continuing if the software thinks the door is experiencing higher than normal pressure. The lower the Closing Trip Level value, the easier the motor will sense pressure and retract.
  • Page 12 Temperature Compensation: (*Factory Setting, do not change) The Temp Comp is a factory setting that should not be changed without consulting Dado Door. The metal enclosure has a certain ambient temperature due to electronics in the box and the room temperature combined. The motherboard has an onboard digital thermometer which is checking the temperature constantly.
  • Page 13 Set Max Torque: This is a factor in the motor control software. The “Max Torque” is the maximum power the motor driver can produce, thus limiting the power to the motor. On a new install, it is possible that the Max Torque is too low and the motor does not have enough power to move the door.
  • Page 14 Accel/Decel Parameters: There is a lot of flexibility for affecting the motion profile. One of the nice features of the Dado Door system is the ability to create an elegant motion to suit the desired aesthetic and function. The Acceleration and Deceleration for both opening and closing directions are able to be set in this menu separately.
  • Page 15 < and >. On the Dado Door Touch Screen, pressing and holding the < arrow will move the door in one direction, and pressing > will move in the opposite direction while the arrows are pressed.
  • Page 16 Offset Open Option: This setting determines if the Open Position Offset is ON or OFF. On boot up, the system HOMES to the home switch and ‘zeroes’ out the system. If for any reason after installing the system you would prefer to OPEN the door to a position more ‘inward’...
  • Page 17 Set ID: If RS485 is used to communicate with one or more Dado Master Controllers, each door will require a unique ID number ranging from 0 - 127. The Destination field is the ID of the Master Device that is communicating with the Dado Door controller.
  • Page 18 2. Current temperature in Fahrenheit. to 4 decimal places (ie 74.0125F) The temperature readout is not of any significant value to the user, except in cases of troubleshooting the information may be requested by Dado Door. 3. ENCODER TEST: Encoder Passed or Encoder Failed. The encoder is a sensor attached to the motor that allows the system to know very precisely where the motor and door are at all times.

    Dado Master Controller Unit LED Status Indicators MAIN BOARD 3.3V Motor Driver POWER SUPPLY Fault BOARD Normal Status of the LED's on the Motor Driver Board(Overview) 1. On power up, the GREEN LED on the lower left of the Motor Driver board should always be on.
  • Page 20 Troubleshooting the Motor Driver FAULT ERROR LED: On the bottom right hand corner of the master controller, look on the motor driver PCB for LED activity upon power up.  If the motor is connected properly, there will ONLY be one LED that turns on right away on power up, it is the lower left Green LED on the Motor driver board marked "PWR".
