European Directives: 89/336/EEC and subsequent amendments.

• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on

the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.

• Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply,

having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3mm.

• Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just

before the power supply mains.

• Check that earthing is carried out correctly: connect all metal parts for

closure (doors, gates etc.) and all system components provided with an
earth terminal.

• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation
safety and correct operation when other manufacturers’ components

3-6 Capacitor.
2-7 Blinker 230 Vac.
8-9 Open-Close push button and key selector (N.O.).
8-10 Stop push button (N.C.). If not used, leave jumped.
8-11 Photocell contact or rubber skirt(N.C.) If not used, leave jumped.

17-18 Antenna input for radio receiver board (17 signal - 18 braid).
ATTENTION - To invert motor running direction, invert the motor connections
3 and 5 and the limit switch connections 12 and 13.

Do not move the capacitor connection.
SOG OPTIONAL BOARD (fig.2).

9-20 Opening push button (N.O.). When the “Open” command is given,
the motor opens independently of its state.
19-21 Closing push button (N.O.). When the “Close” command is given, the
motor closes independently of its state.

ATTENTION: In some versions of the ORION G boards, terminals 20
and 21 of the SOG optional board have the HOLD-TO-RUN control
feature (UP) instead of the separate open-close control (ACS).

19-22 Push button for pedestrian access (N.O.). When the “Pedestrian”
command is given, the gate opens of about 1 metre.
23-24 Rubber skirt contact connection (N.C.). If the rubber skirt steps in,
the movement is reversed for about 30 centimetres. If not used, leave
jumped.
25-26 Second radio channel output (if a twin-channel board is fitted).

5) DIP SWITCH FUNCTIONS (Fig.3)
DIP 1 MODE

OFF: A start impulse during the motor run causes the gate to stop (4 - step
operation) both in opening and closing phase.
ON: A start impulse during the motor run causes the gate to reverse
direction (2-step operation) in closing phase.

DIP 2 PRE-ALARM

OFF: The flashing light turns on simultaneously with the start of the motors.
ON: The flashing light turns on abt. 3 seconds before the motors start.

DIP 3 PHOTOCELLS

OFF: Photocell intervention causes the operator to stop both in the opening
or closing phase. After removing the obstacle, the operator opens.
ON: Photocell intervention has no effect on the opening phase and
immediately reverses movement during the closing phase.

DIP 4 AUTOMATIC CLOSING TIME TCA

OFF: Switches off the automatic closure
ON: The gate closes again automatically after a pause time set on the
trimmer T1. Such a function is activated:

- In full open position.

- In the opening phase by means of the start push button or radio control.

DIP 5 IMPULSE BLOCK

OFF: A start impulse during the opening phase causes the operator to stop.
ON: A start impulse during the opening phase has no effect.

DIP 6: Not used.

6) TRIMMER FUNCTIONS (Fig.3)
TRIMMER T1 TCA: Sets the pause time before the automatic closure. The

time can be increased by turning it clockwise.
