- the close command, if pressed with the gate completely
opened
- no effect, if pressed during the gate opening
- the gate re-open, if pressed while the gate is closing
The K BUTT opens the gate completely, whereas the PED BUTT opens the
gate partially as described in Point F.
CLOCK FUNCTION (available ONLY with DIP 6 OFF)
The Clock Function permits to keep the gate opened even if, for example,
the Automatic Closing is enabled (DIP3 ON) or somebody commands the
gate closing. It is useful during rush hours, when traffic is heavy and the
flow is slow (e.g. entrance/exit of employees, emergencies in residential
areas or car parks and, temporarily, for removal vans) and it's necessary to
keep the gate opened.
It can be done by connecting a switch and/or a daily/weekly clock either in
parallel to the K BUTT button or instead of the K BUTT button. When the
control board receives this command, the gate will open and by keeping
this contact closed for all the time of the gate opening, the Clock Function
is automatically activated. In fact, once reached the open position, the gate
will remain opened and all of the control board functions are blocked. Only
when K BUTT contact is released, the control board functions are re-
activated and the Automatic Closing restarts (if enabled) doing the
countdown to the gate closing.
PEDESTRIAN command (PED BUTT - COM)
This command is useful to open the gate partially, just enough, for example,
to permit a pedestrian crossing. In fact, the Pedestrian command (see Point
F) is carried out only by opening the motor M1 just enough for a pedestrian
to pass, as described into the Point F procedure.
From the Pedestrian opening position the Automatic Closing can be
enabled or disabled with DIP3.
From the Pedestrian opening position, the gate can be completely opened
by the OPEN or by the K BUTT button or by the RADIO button.
AUTOMATIC CLOSING (from the COMPLETE open position)
The Automatic Closing from the complete open position can be enabled
turning ON the DIP3.
The maximum gap of time that can be programmed is 5 minutes (see Point
D and E).
AUTOMATIC CLOSING (from the PEDESTRIAN open position)
The Automatic Closing from the pedestrian open position can be enabled
turning ON the DIP3. The maximum gap of time that can be programmed
is 5 minutes (see Point F).
ELECTRIC LOCK (LOCK A+) command
The DIP 8 in the ON position enables the Electric Lock (MAX 15W 12V)
command. The Electric Lock (LOCK A+) will be automatically turned ON
each time the gate opens.
If the DIP8 is OFF, the Electric Lock command is DISABLED.
MANUAL RELEASE FACILITY
The DIP 9 in the ON position enables the Manual Release Facility. Once
the gate has completely closed, a short reversal manoeuvre (0.2 seconds)
will be done to ease manual release (current sensors in this phase are not
enabled).
ELECTRIC LOCK unlocking FACILITY
The DIP 9 in the ON position enables the Electric Lock unlocking Facility.
From close position, just before opening, the gate will perform a short
closing manoeuvre (0.5 seconds) to ease unlocking from electric lock.
ELECTRIC LOCK coupling FACILITY
The DIP 10 in the ON position enables the Electric Lock coupling Facility.
Once the gate has closed, a short hammering close pulse (0.5 seconds)
will be done at full power to guarantee the electric lock or mechanical bolt
coupling (the current sensors in this phase are not enabled).
GATE FUNCTIONING AFTER A BLACKOUT
(in case it's NOT equipped with batteries)
It's recommended to close completely the gate manually when the main AC
power resumes. Only in the closing position of the gate the control board
realigns itself.
In case the gate is already closed, no need of special procedures, the gate
is ready to work.
In case the gate is completely opened and the Automatic Closing is enabled
(DIP3 in ON position), countdown of Automatic Closing will start
automatically the moment AC power is available.
During this phase all the safety devices (photocells and safety strip) are active.
PHOTOCELL (PHOT - COM)
In case the switch DIP4 is in the OFF position, the photocells are active
both in gate opening and in gate closing. In this configuration, if an obstacle
cuts the photocell beam:
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will stop and will restart opening when
- the obstacle is removed
- while the gate is still, it will not move neither in opening nor in closing.
In case of the switch DIP4 is in the ON position, the photocells are active
only in gate closing.
In this configuration, if an obstacle cuts the photocell beam:
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will continue open
- while the gate is still, it will open if a open command is request, it will
remain still if a close command is request.
The photocell input (PHOT - COM) is a NORMALLY CLOSED contact.
In case there are more couple of photocells, the contacts from all the
photocell receivers must be connected in series.
In case the photocells are not installed, this contact must be short circuited
with a wire jump (from PHOT to COM) to permit the gate to operate.
ATTENTION: In case the receiver led remains lit,
malfunctioning of the main supply is suspected.
It is advisable to connect electrically to earth the
columns or the photocells stands to the
terminal A-, to shield the photocells from
external noise.
Be careful not to short circuit the system when
the supply phases are inverted!
SAFETY STRIP (EDGE - COM)
If an obstacle presses the safety strip:
- while the gate is still, it will not move neither in opening nor in closing
- while the gate is closing, the gate will open
- while the gate is opening, the gate will close.
In case the safety strip is held pressed a further quick reversion, after 2
seconds, is performed. The gate interrupts any movement and this alarm
state is indicated by 1 minute Blinker flashing. The normal gate operations
can be restored by pressing any push button or radio commands.
The safety strip input (EDGE - COM) is a NORMALLY CLOSED contact.
In case there are more than one safety strip, all their contacts must be
connected in series.
In case the safety strip is not installed, this contact must be short
circuited with a wire jump (from EDGE to COM) to permit the gate to
operate and the Safety Strip test must be disabled (JP4 OPENED).
TESTING THE SAFETY STRIP equipment
The JUMPER JP4 CLOSED enables to test the safety strip equipment. The
test is performed every time the gate completes a full opening. The test is
available only if the safety strip device is equipped with a dedicated power
supply input.
In fact, the safety strip equipment power supply input can be connected to
the A+TEST and A- outputs (JP4 closed). Automatically, every time the gate
completes a full opening, just before closing, the control board switches
OFF the A+TEST and A- power supply output for a very short time. While
the safety strip power supply is switched OFF, if everything is working fine
the safety strip contact (EDGE - COM) must open. In case the test fails, no
other gate manoeuvre will be allowed.
NOT ALL THE SAFETY STRIPS CAN BE TESTED, THUS THE JUMPER
JP4 MUST BE LEFT OPEN.
