Low-voltage operator (24Vdc) suitable for residential use. Designed for swing gates having small-sized pillars. The operating arm, with its special antishearing shape, allows the leaves to be manoeuvred even when the operator is positioned well away from their fulcrum. The irreversible electromechanical gearmotor keeps the gate locked in the closing and opening positions.
The release lever, fitted to the outside of each operator, allows the manual manoeuvre to be carried out very easily.
The installation, the maintenance and the repair should be done by responsible and qualified persons with an updated knowledge of the current safety standards. It's strictly forbidden to service the automation when the power is on.
ATTENTION! The VIRGO model controller is not equipped with mechanical torque adjustment. It is compulsory to use a control panel of the same manufacturer, in compliance with the basic safety requirements of directives 73/23/CEE, 89/336/CEE, 98/37/CEE equipped with appropriate electric adjusment of the torque.

(Fig.2)
The operator is supplied with a fixing bracket and lever arm.
Having identified the leaf reinforcement point, with the gate closed, trace an imaginary horizontal line from the centre of the reinforcement point to the pillar (fig. 3-4).
Fig. 2 illustrates the most common types of installation:
Position the anchoring bracket observing the dimensions shown in fig.3 for opening up to 90°, or in fig.4 for opening over 90° up to a max of 120°. The pillar surface, where the bracket is fixed, must be flat and parallel to the leaf. Use screws and expansion plugs adequate for the type of pillar. In the case where the pillar surface is irregular, use expansion plugs with studs, in order to be able to adjust the fixing bracket parallel to the leaf (fig.5).
The VIRGO operator is provided with mechanical end-of-stroke backstops, which make the installation of ground stop plates redundant.
With reference to Fig. 10 proceed as follows:
Arrange the electrical installation as shown in fig.11.
The power supply connections must be kept separate from the auxiliary connections (photocells, sensitive edge, etc.).
For this purpose, the operator is provided with appropriate fittings, indicated in Fig.9, for a spiral flexible raceway with an inside diameter of 20:
For the mains power supply, use the appropriate cable clamp (Fig.9 -"S"), the terminal bar with an incorporated protection fuse (Fig.9 -"L-N") and the GND terminal.
Fig.11 shows the cross-section and the number of connections.
(Fig.16)
NOTE: The VIRGO operators provided with incorporated LINX control panels are preset for fitting to the left leaf, whereas the operators without panels (VIRGO-SQ) are preset for fitting to the right leaf, as illustrated by the example given in Fig.11.
Should it be necessary to reverse the operator opening direction, proceed as follows:
1 – Reverse motor polarity (JP1 terminals 1-2)
2 – Reverse motor polarity (JP2 terminals 14-15)
During the wiring and installation operations, refer to the current standards as well as principles of good technical practice. Wires powered at different voltages must be physically separated, or suitably insulated with at least 1 mm extra insulation. T he wires must be clamped by an extra fastener near the terminals, for example by bands.
All the connection cables must be kept at an adequate distance from the dissipator(Fig.14 "D").
For connection to the mains, use a multipolar cable with a minimum of 3x1.5mm2 cross section and complying with the previously mentioned regulations. For example, if the cable is out side (in the open), it has to be at least equal to H07RN-F, but if it is on the inside (or outside but placed in a plastic cable cannel) it has to be or at least egual to H05VV-F with section 3x1.5mm2.

The control panel provided with a microprocessor is supplied with function parameters preset by the manufacturer, suitable for standard installations. The predefined parameters can be altered by means of either the incorporated display programmer or UNIPRO.
In the case where programming is carried out by means of UNIPRO, carefully read the instructions relating to UNIPRO, and proceed in the following way.
Connect the UNIPRO programmer to the control unit through the UNIFLAT and UNIDA accessories (See fig. 18). The LINX control unit does not supply the UNIPRO programmer with power, and therefore requires an appropriate supply unit.
Enter the "CONTROL UNITS" menu, and the "PARAMETERS" submenu, then scroll the display screenfuls using the up/down arrows to set the numerical values of the parameters listed below.
For the function logics, refer to the "LOGIC" submenu.
In the case where programming is carried out by means of the incorporated programmer, refer to Fig. A and B and to the paragraph on "Configuration".
Fig. A
The display programmer is used to set all the LINX control panel functions. The programmer is provided with three pushbuttons for menu scrolling and function parameter configuration:
+ menu scrolling/value increment key
- menu scrolling/value reduction key
OK Enter (confirm) key
The simultaneous pressure of the + and - keys is used to exit the active menu and move to the preceding menu.
The modifications made are only set if the OK key is subsequently pressed. When the OK key is pressed for the first time, the programming mode is entered.
The following pieces of information appear on the display at first:
When the OK key is pressed during the initial presentation phase, the first menu can be accessed directly.
Here follows a list of the main menus and the respective submenus available. The predefined parameter is shown between square brackets [ 0 ].
The writing appearing on the display is indicated between round brackets.
Refer to Figures A and B for the configuration procedure.

NOTES: In case of obstacle detection, the Ampere-stop function stops the leaf movement, reverses the motion for 1 sec. and then halts in the STOP status. The motor slow-down torque represents the maximum torque supplied to the motor during the slow-down phase. It must be set to a lower value with respect to the motor torque, in order to allow the Ampere-stop function to be also activated during the slow-down phase.
Check that the impact force value measured at the points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than that specified in the EN 12453 standard.
Incorrect sensitivity setting can cause injuries to persons or animals, or damage to things.
OFF Enables 4-step logic. A Start impulse has the following effects: door closed: opens
on opening: stops and enters TCA (if configured)
door open: closes
on closing: stops and does not enter TCA (stop)
after stopping: opens
Completely removes all memorised radio control devices from the receiver memory.
Consult paragraphs 12-13-14-15 for further information concerning the advanced functions of the Clonix incorporated receiver.
Allows you to set the language on the display programmer.
Restores the preset default values on the control unit. After restoring, a new autoset operation must be carried out.
The display on the LINX panel shows some useful information, both during normal operation and in the case of malfunctions.
Diagnostics:
In the case of malfunctions, the display shows a message indicating which device needs to be checked:
PED = | PED input activation |
STRT= | START input activation |
STOP= | STOP input activation |
PHOT= | PHOT input activation |
FLT = | FAULT input activation for checked photocells |
In the case where an obstacle is found, the LINX panel stops the door and activates a reverse manoeuvre; at the same time the display shows the "AMP" message.
Monitoring:
During the opening and closing phases, the display shows four digits separated by a dot, for example 35.40. The digits are constantly updated during the manoeuvre, and represent the maximum torque reached by motor 1 (35) and motor 2 (40).
These values allow the torque setting to be corrected.
If the maximum torque value reached during the manoeuvre gets sensibly close to the value set in the parameter menu, malfunctions may occur in the future following wear or slight door deformation.
It is therefore advisable to check the maximum torque reached during some of the manoeuvres carried out in the course of installation, and if necessary set a value about 15-20 percent points higher in the parameter menu.
Allows you to automatically set the Motor torque.
The autoset operation is only to be carried out after checking the exact leaf (opening/closing) movement, and correct limit-switch activation.
As soon as the OK pushbutton is pressed, the ".... ...." message is displayed, and the control unit executes an opening manoeuvre followed by a closing manoeuvre, during which the minimum torque value needed for leaf movement is automatically set.
During this phase, it is important to avoid obscuring the photocells, as well as using the START, STOP or PED commands and the display.
After this, if autosetting has been successfully completed, the control unit displays the "OK" message and, after pressing any key, returns to the Autoset menu.
If, on the other hand, the control unit displays the "KO" message, it means that the autoset procedure has not been successfully completed; it is thus necessary to check the wear condition of the gate and the regular movement of the leaves before proceeding to a new autoset operation.
During the autoset phase, the obstacle detection function is not active, therefore the installer must control the automation movement and prevent persons and things from approaching or standing within the automation working range.
In the case where buffer batteries are used, autosetting must be carried out with the control panel supplied by mains power voltage.
Check that the impact force value measured at the points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than that specified in the EN 12453 standard.
Incorrect sensitivity setting can cause injuries to persons or animals, or damage to things.
Having connected the UNIPRO programmer to the control unit, enter the CONTROL UNIT / STATISTICS menu and scroll the screenful showing the statistical parameters:

Transmitter versions which can be used: all Rolling Code transmitters compatible with
ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Use an antenna tuned to 433MHz.
For Antenna-Receiver connection, use RG8 coaxial cable.
The presence of metallic masses next to the antenna can interfere with radio reception. In case of insufficient transmitter range, move the antenna to a more suitable position.
The on-board receiver combines characteristics of utmost safety in copying variable code (rolling code) coding with the convenience of carrying out transmitter "cloning" operations thanks to an exclusive system.
Cloning a transmitter means creating a transmitter which can be automatically included within the list of the transmitters memorised in the receiver, either as an addition or as a replacement of a particular transmitter.
Cloning by replacement is used to create a new transmitter which takes the place of the one previously memorised in the receiver; in this way a specific transmitter can be removed from the memory and will no longer be usable. Therefore it will be possible to remotely program a large number of additional transmitters or, for example, replacement transmitters for those which have been lost, without making changes directly to the receiver. When coding safety is not a decisive factor, the on-board receiver allows you to carry out fixed-code additional cloning which, although abandoning the variable code, provides a high number of coding combinations, therefore keeping it possible to "copy" any transmitter which has already been programmed.
PROGRAMMING
Transmitter storage can be carried out in manual mode or by means of the UNIRADIO programmer which allows the complete installation database to be managed through the Eedbase software.
In this second case, receiver programming takes place through the connection of UNIRADIO to the LINX control panel, using the UNIFLAT and UNIDA accessories as indicated in Fig. 15.
In the case of standard installations where advanced functions are not required, you can proceed to manual storage of the transmitters, making reference to fig. B for basic programming.
Note: Hidden key P1 appears differently depending on the transmitter model. For transmitters with hidden key, press hidden key P1 (fig. B1). For transmitters without hidden key, the key P1 function corresponds to simultaneously pressing the 4 transmitter keys or, after opening the battery compartment, bridging the two P1 points by means of a screwdriver (fig. B2).
ATTACH THE ADH ESIVE KEY LABEL TO THE FIRST MEMORISED TRANSMITTER (MASTER).
In the case of manual programming, the first transmitter assigns the key code to the receiver; this code is necessary in order to carry out subsequent cloning of the radio transmitters.

In the case where the power supply is off, or any faults are present, the manual emergency manoeuvre can be carried out by operating the external release lever (Fig.1 ref."S").
To reactivate motor-driven operation, turn the key clockwise to free the lever from its released position, then return it to its initial position for normal operation.
(Fig.13)
The manual emergency release can be operated by a wire device:
Before allowing the automation to be used normally, carry out the following procedure very carefully:
Since the automation can be remote-controlled by means of a remote control device or a start button, and so out of sight, the good working order of all the safety devices should be checked regularly. In the event of any anomalous functioning of the safety devices, consult a specialised technician immediately. Keep children at a safe distance from the automation operation area.
The automation is used for the power-operated opening and closing of the gate. The control can be of a number of types (manual, remote-controlled, magnetic badge access control, etc.) depending on requirements and the characteristics of the installation. See the specific instructions for the various control systems. Users of the automation must be instructed about its control and operation.
Disconnect the power supply when carrying out any maintenance operations.
This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel. Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations. In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular risks or danger. In case of materials to be recycled, these should be sorted out by type (electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel. When the automation system is disassembled to be reassembled on another site, proceed as follows:
Correct controller operation is only ensured when the data contained in the present manual are observed. The company is not to be held responsible for any damage resulting from failure to observe the installation standards and the instructions contained in the present manual.
The descriptions and illustrations contained in the present manual are not binding. The Company reserves the right to make any alterations deemed appropriate for the technical, manufacturing and commercial improvement of the product, while leaving the essential product features unchanged, at any time and without undertaking to update the present publication.
