1B - STARTING MODALITY The control unit has been designed to manage 1 or 2 24Vdc motors gate automations. To start the system it is necessary to: 1- Connect the power supply, the motors, and the accessories as indicated in the 2nd paragraph 2- Set the dip-switches (paragraph 4A) and the trimmers (paragraph 4B) depending on the wanted functioning and on the conditions of the system.
2 - ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS 2A - CABLES SECTION - The control unit must be powered (by its external fuse box terminal), through a cable which must be at least 3x1.5 mm² wide. If the distance between the control unit and the grounding system is more than 30m it is necessary to install an electric discharger near to the control unit.

5 - DIP-SWITCHES DESCRIPTION 5A - DIP-SWITCH 1 - MODE If the “MODE” dip-switch is set to ON, the control unit is set on slow mode. This mode is fit for wings longer than 2 m. If the “MODE” dip-switch is set to OFF, the control unit is set on slow mode. Anyway, it is suggested to pay attention on the wings can’t hurt too violently against the mechanical stop;...

6 - TRAVEL PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE It is necessary to perform the learning procedure to program the travel (see paragraph 6B for the standard proce- dure, or paragraph 6D for the professional procedure). There is also a learning procedure for the pedestrian opening (see paragraph 6E;...

6D - PROFESSIONAL LEARNING PROCEDURE The installer can set the beginning point of the slowdown through this procedure. The beginning point is customizable in opening and closing. On steps 9a and 12a of the programming procedure, the first wing is the one which opens as first and closes as second (connected to terminals 24, 25 “MOT1”).

7 - PARTIAL OPENING LEARNING PROCEDURE The pedestrian opening is a partial opening (or total opening, if the installer wants it) of the wing opened by “MOT1” (terminals 24, 25). To manage the pedestrian opening, it is necessary to program a button of the radio transmitter (see paragraph 3B), or connect a command by wire on the terminals 14,15 (see paragraph 10B).
8 - TRIMMER 8A - Trimmer “FOR” – Power / speed of the motor Use the “FOR” trimmer to adjust the voltage with which the motor is powered during operation, thus adjusting its speed. This is settable between 50% and 100% of the maximum force and can be increased by turning the trimmer clockwise. Thus if the trimmer is set on the minimum then the speed is equal to about 50%, if adjusted in an intermediate position it is equal to 75%, while at the maximum the speed will be the largest obtainable.

10 - CABLE COMMANDS CONNECTABLE 10A - STARTING COMMAND CONNECTION In the “START” input (terminals 12, 13) it is possible to connect a normally open contact (for example, key selectors, or switches) to manage the automation. The commands can be set by dip switches 2, 3 and 7 (see paragraph 4A, 5). There are 2 micro switches in the selectors;...
11 - OPERATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICES 11A - CLOSING SAFETY DEVICES It is possible to connect normally closed contact devices to the “PHO1” input (terminal 16,18). These devices operate during the closing cycle. In particular: - in closing phase, an immediate inversion of the motion. - in opening phase, they have no effect.

12 - OTHER CONNECTABLE ACCESSORIES 12A - FLASHING LAMP It is possible to connect flashing light devices to the “LAMP” input (terminals 8,9). These devices turn on a second before the manoeuvre. If the dip 5 “LAMP” is ON position, the power supplied is intermittent. Therefore, a normal lamp can be connected. If the dip 5 “LAMP”...

14 - INCONVENIENTS AND REMEDIES 14A - THE AUTOMATION DOESN’T START - Check the presence of voltage in the terminals of the external fuse box. - Check the fuse (see paragraph 1A). - STOP contact open (red led “ST” is off): check for possible STOP commands connected (terminal 14). If absent, connect the input with terminal 14.
