3.8 - ANTENNA CONNECTION AND RADIO COMMUNICATION WARNING • Do not place the control unit inside metal containers. • The maximum range may vary significantly in the presence of metal parts, in the presence of shielding between the transmitter and the control unit or in the presence of other devices that communicate at the same radio frequency.
Page 15
4. PROGRAMMING DANGER The operations described in this chapter to finalize the installation must be carried out in the presence of voltage, therefore they must be carried out only by experienced personnel, qualified and taking all neces- sary precautions to ensure safe execution. Check that the operating area is free from any obstacles.

4.4 - LEARNING OF A REMOTE CONTROL The learning of a transmitter can be activated via the UP button of the control unit or via the hidden button of a transmitter already stored. The control unit can store up to 1000 remote controls (with memory card) and each of them can associate up to 4 functions, no more than one function per key available.
Page 19
LEARNING WITH THE HIDDEN BUTTON OF A LEARNED TRANSMITTER NOTE • The use of the hidden button, if present, of a transmitter already learned involves the entry in learning mode of all the automations in which it is associated. Make sure that unwanted remote controls are not learned.
Page 20
4.5 - LEARNING OF THE STROKE At the first installation it is necessary to check the presence of mechanical stops for the open gate and closed gate positions. Refer to the installation manual of the electric motor. Once the tests are completed, the learning procedure must be performed to detect the total length of the stroke, the length of the slowdowns and all the other areas of the installation necessary for the correct functioning of the automation.
Page 21
STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR LEARNING With the standard learning, the control unit performs independently the calculation of the slowdown areas, which will be regulated with the same amplitude both in opening and closing (see basic parameter "Lsi"). In this procedure you need to provide the limit points with a step-by-step control. NOTE •...
Page 22
MENU DOWN Once you have reached the closing mechanical stop, press the SS button. At this stage the M1 motor moves by learning the opening time. The display shows " LOP ". MENU DOWN Once you have reached the closing mechanical stop, press the SS button.
Page 23
LEARNING WITH CUSTOMISED SLOWDOWNS With personalized learning, the amplitudes of the slowdowns are adjusted by the user during the learning procedure. In this proce- dure you need to provide the limit points with a step-by-step control. NOTE • If the procedure starts while the limit switches are active, or if a safety device is involved during move- ment, the procedure is stopped and the words "L-- "...
Page 24
At this stage the M1 motor moves by learning the closing time. The display shows "LCL". When the door reaches the desired position of slowdown start providing a step-by-step command. MENU DOWN Once you have reached the closing mechanical stop, press the SS button.
4.6 - MENU OF BASIC FUNCTIONS To access the basic function menu, press and hold the MENU button for 1 to 3 seconds. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the available features. While displaying a function, the control unit will alternate the display of the item to the value set in it. To change the value of the parameter you are viewing proceed as follows: •...
Page 26
Sensitivity on obstacle at full speed NOTE • Too high a level of sensitivity could cause an abnormal behavior of the automation depending on the force that the gear motor needs to move the automation. • Adjust this parameter according to current regulations. Set the sensitivity level for the impact sensor to intervene during gate movement.
Page 27
Configuration of the STEP-BY-STEP function NOTE • By setting the CONDOMINIUM functionality you must set an automatic closing time to make the gate close. Customize the action mode of the STEP-BY-STEP function. Normal: ("OPEN" - "STOP" - "CLOSE" - "STOP" - ...) Classic operation of the STEP-BY-STEP mode.
Page 28
Width of the slowdown area Adjusts the width of the opening and closing slowdown area as a percentage of the total stroke length. With the value "P" you can set custom areas during the learning of the races (see paragraph LEARNING WITH PERSONALIZED SLOWDOWNS).
Page 29
4.7 - MENU OF ADVANCED FUNCTIONS To access the advanced features menu, press and hold the MENU button for longer than 5 seconds. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through the available features. While displaying a function, the control unit will alternate the display of the item to the value set in it. To change the value of the parameter you are viewing proceed as follows: •...

Slowdown ramp on EDGE input intervention It determines how long the gear motor stops its movement following the stop caused by the intervention of the EDGE input. PARAMETER VALUES DEFAULT from 0 to 10 multiplied by 100 ms 10 = 1000 ms Reversal time on EDGE input intervention Determines how long the gear motor performs the movement in the opposite direction following the stop caused by the intervention of the EDGE input (only with IED = 1).
Page 33
Amplitude of the partial opening Adjusts the amplitude of the partial opening as a percentage of the total stroke length. Partial opening is possible only starting from the position of "CLOSED GATE", using the appropriate command. Once reached the position of "PARTIAL OPENING" the display shows " PE ". PARAMETER VALUES DEFAULT...

Courtesy light output configuration Customize the mode of action of the courtesy light output. Value 0: The light goes out at the end of a maneuver, after waiting for the time set in the parameter tCY. Value 1: The light turns off at automation in the position of "CLOSED GATE", after waiting for the time set in the parameter tCY. Value 2: With each command received, the light remains lit only for the time set in the tCy parameter regardless of the position where the gate is located.

Flashing light for assistance request Enable flashing for service request. PARAMETER VALUES DEFAULT OFF = disabled ON = enabled Water hammer in the opening This function is linked to the use of the electric lock. It consists in performing a short pressure against the mechanical closing stop, while the electric lock is active, to allow its disconnection.
Page 36
How to use the electric lock Customize the output activation mode for electric lock connection. This parameter also affects the operation of the connector for the R1 module. Value 0: Deactivated output. Value 1: The electric lock is activated when the automation performs an opening movement. Value 2: The electric lock is activated with a safety advance of 1.5 seconds before performing an opening movement.

4.8 - PASSWORD MANAGEMENT WARNING • Carefully store the 5-digit sequence used to set the password. • If you lose your password, please contact your reseller to restore the system. A 5-digit password can be set using the advanced PASS parameter. Once the setting is made, access to all the parameter menus will always be preceded by the request to enter the password.
ENTER THE PASSWORD TO ACCESS THE MENUS When you press the MENU button, the control panel prompts you to enter the password to access it. After 2 minutes of inactivity, the control panel automatically exits the password entry screen. Use the UP and DOWN keys to change the digit value.
5. ERROR MESSAGES NOTE Message reporting persists as long as the event persists or until the DOWN key is pressed or a handling command is executed. DISPLAY DESCRIPTION SOLUTION • Check the integrity and good condition of the entire gate and automation. Movement stopped by the impact sensor.
