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.
Page 16
4.2 - DISPLAY MODE The display available in the control unit allows you to view a lot of information such as the status of the automation, the number of movements performed, anomalies detected, etc. There are 4 types of views available. To switch from one type to another press the DOWN button.
Page 17
4.3 - STANDARD VIEW DISPLAY DESCRIPTION Standing by after power supply connection. Automation in CLOSED GATE position. Automation stops in OPEN GATE position, without automatic closing. Automation stops in the PARTIAL OPENING position, without automatic closing. Automation in opening movement. Automation in closing movement.
Page 18
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 AND LIMIT ADJUSTMENT At the first installation it is necessary to adjust the intervention position of the limit switches and perform a learning procedure to detect the total length of the stroke, the length of the slowdowns and all other areas of the installation necessary for the correct functioning of the automation.
Page 21
STANDARD PROCEDURE FOR LEARNING With standard learning, the control unit performs all the procedure and the calculation of slowdowns, which will be regulated with the same amplitude both in opening and closing ( see basic parameter " LsI"). DANGER • Check that during the first movement the display displays "LOP" and the gate moves in the OPENING DIRECTION.
Page 22
LEARNING WITH PERSONALIZED SLOWDOWNS With personalized learning, the amplitudes of the slowdowns are adjusted by the user during the learning procedure. DANGER • Check that during the first movement the display displays "LOP" and the gate moves in the OPENING DIRECTION.

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 24
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 25
Normal: ("OPEN" - "STOP" - "CLOSE" - "STOP" - ...) Classic operation of the STEP-BY-STEP mode. During handling, a STEP-BY-STEP control involves stopping the automation. Alternate STOP: ("OPEN" - "STOP" - "CLOSE" - ...) Alternating operation with possibility of STOP during the opening movement. During the closing movement performs a reversal of motion.

Maintained control function (DEAD-MAN) Enables the possibility to move the automation only by holding down the desired command. Once the command is released, the automation stops. Activating this function results in the following functional changes: • The "Step-by-Step" and "Partial Opening" commands are disabled. •...
Page 32
Function of Soft Stop It allows to adjust the deceleration ramp in case of request of stop by user command or in case of intervention of the photocell inputs (PH1 and PH2). This parameter DOES NOT modify the deceleration ramp in case of intervention of the EDGE (safety coast) and STOP input.

6. MAINTENANCE DANGER • Before carrying out any cleaning, maintenance or replacement of parts, remove power to the automation. • The following points are specific to the maintenance of the control panel. The list does not cover mainte- nance activities specific to the sliding gate/door. Every 10,000 cycles and in any case every 6 months of activity, the following maintenance interventions are mandatory: •...
