BATTERY POWERED OPERATION
BATTERY POWERED OPERATION
This device allows the SL1524-SL1524SB sliding gate motors to work during blackouts.
• To indicate that the programmer is working off battery power when the gate is com-
pletely closed a hyphen
lowing around the perimeter of the display will appear. If
the battery is under charged a hyphen
will appear. When the battery is almost completely lat the symbol
the programmer will be blocked.
• After 15 manoeuvres or when the battery power drops below the minimum level the
gate will remain completely open even if automatic reclosing has been selected.
Normal operation can only be obtained when the power has been restored. To operate
using battery power again the batteries will need time to recharge. The battery charge
time with batteries in good condition can take up to a maximum of 15 hours. If the
time required is greater you should consider replacing the batteries. You are however
advised to replace the batteries every three years.
• When the gate is completely closed the controlled external devices (CTRL 30 dc)
do not receive power in order to increase the autonomy of the battery. When a com-
mand is received however (via radio or via cable) the programmer sends power to the
controlled external devices and checks their security status. It follows therefore that
the command will be carried out (security devices at rest) with a one second delay to
give time to restore the correct operation of the devices.
If after this period a security device is found to be in alarm the command will not be
carried out, power to the external devices will be cut off and the programmer will return
to stand-by.
Note! If you wish to use an external receiver it must be wired to the binding posts 4-5 (ig.
3) otherwise a command sent via radio will not be able to activate the gate.
• The self-suficiency of the system when it is running on battery power is dependent
on the ambient conditions and on the load connected at binding posts 4-5 (power is
always routed there during blackouts).
When the batteries are completely lat (during blackouts) the programmer will
lose the position of the gate and therefore when power returns carry out the
repositioning procedure (see pag. 17). For this reason you should avoid leaving the
electronic programmer without power for lengthy periods (more than two days).
• You cannot enter the programming mode when running off battery power.
• During blackouts the battery supplies power to both the logic and the motor control
parts of the programmer. For this reason during battery powered operation the voltage
supplied to the motor is less than that normally applied and the motor will move more
slowly.
• The current sensor is disabled when battery power falls below the minimum level
, but all other safety devices are still functional.
Signal LEDs (ig. 3)
L2: lit when the battery is not properly connected during blackouts.
L4 lit when the current supplied by the battery charger is greater than the battery
maintainment level (about 50 mA).
The wires connecting the battery to the charger card must never be short-
circuited, this would damage the battery, and in the worst of cases could lead
to burns (if metal parts are touching the skin when the contact is made). Only
connect them to the Faston (CN3) and make sure you respect the polarity. If
the batteries are damaged they could leak acid.
The batteries must only be installed/removed by qualiied personnel. Used
batteries must not be thrown into domestic rubbish bins and they must be
disposed according to the local standards and regulations in force.
Battery check
Move the gate to the completely closed position and the display will switch off. Check
that LED "L4" (battery charging) is off.
Switch off the power at the mains and make sure that the symbol
display. Give a movement command and measure the overall voltage for both batteries.
The reading should be about 22 Vdc.
MAINTENANCE
To use the 24 month or 50000 manoeuvre guarantee, read the following
notes carefully.
The motor does not normally require particular maintenance; in any case the 24 month
or 50000 manoeuvre guarantee is only valid if the following controls have been observed
and eventual maintenance has been carried out to the machine "sliding gate":
- correct lubrication (greasing) of the toothed rack;
- check the straightness of the toothed rack, make sure the teeth it correctly in the
pinion throughout its entire length; in particular the toothed rack must have a cross
section of 20 x 20 mm (see accessories on page 14);
- check the play of the toothed rack - pinion (1-2 mm see ig. 7);
- check the battery charge level.
These checks must be written down as they are paramount in validating the guarantee.

Alarm indications
System not programmed
You have to enter the programming mode to program the system.
Out of position
When carrying out an installation you will have to enter programming in order to program
the gate travel distances. During normal operation it indicates that the "automatic repo-
sitioning" procedure is about to take place (see page 19). In this case any commands
received (TA, TC, TAL or TD) will automatically start this procedure.
Caution! The gate moves automatically without waiting for a command.
Block during encoder programming
This happens when an N.C. contact is activated (TB, FTCI, CSP) during encoder pro-
gramming or automatic repositioning. Once the passive state of the security devices has
been reset the gate will start moving again automatically. It also happens if a blackout
occurs during programming.
Safety test error
Check the condition of the safety devices and make sure that the alarm cuts in when an
obstacle interferes with the beam (the relative LED will switch off). In case of anomalies
replace the damaged safety device or bridge the contact and disactivate the safety test
(dip 7).
Motor feed error
This occurs when the programmer sends a command to the motor and nothing hap-
pens (the motor doesn't move). Check the motor faston connections and the condition
of the fuses "F1" and "F3" and then give another opening or closing command. If the
motor still doesn't move you are faced with either a mechanical problem or a problem
with the programmer.

Encoder count error
This error normally appears when you have given a command and the motor is released.
If it occurs during normal motor operation it means that there is a problem with the
encoder signals. Check the relative connections and carry out automatic repositioning
(pag. 17).
Encoder direction error
The gate movement direction is different from the encoder setting (e.g. the gate moves
in the closing direction while the program is carrying out the opening stage). Check the
motor power supply connections and the setting of dip 8.
Current sensor error
When the gate is not moving this symbol means there is a problem with the current
sensor.
Motor error
These symbols mean there is a problem with the motor control relays.
