Thank you for buying this product, our company is sure that you will be more
than satisfied with the product’s performance.
The product is supplied an “INSTRUCTION MANUAL” which provides
important information about safety, installation, operation and maintenance.
This product complies with the recognised technical standards and safety
regulations. We declare that this product is in conformity with the following
European Directives: 89/336/EEC and 73/23/EEC (amended by RL 91/263/
EEC, 92/31/EEC and 93/68/EEC).

IMPORTANT NOTE

For wiring and installation operations, refer to

the current standards and follow the main technical principles

ensuring good performance.

1) General outline
This control unit with microprocessor has been designed to control one or
two motors with a power up to 375 W.
The control unit is equipped with Dip-switches and trimmers which allow the
configuration and calibration of the unit respectively. The functions of the
Dip-switches and trimmers as well as the effects generated by the alteration
to the initial setting are described in the following paragraphs while their
arrangement on the board is shown in the diagram of figure 1.
To facilitate maintenance and replacement operations, the board features
a removable terminal board with 40 terminals. The wiring diagram of the
board is shown in figure 2.
To facilitate installation operations, the board is supplied with a series of
pre-wired jumpers.
The jumpers refer to the following terminals: 31-33, 32-33, 33-34, 35-36,
36-37, 38-39, 39-0.
On request, the SSR4 board controlling two traffic lights can be fitted to the
board; the operation and specifications of the traffic light board are con­tained in the relevant specific section while the wiring diagram and a pos­sible arrangement is shown in figure 3.
Rigel 4 can be completed with an additional SPL board (figure 4) and an
automatic thermostat for motor pre-heating. For wiring diagram, see fig. 5.
The limit switch inputs for closing and opening manoeuvres are separate for
each motor.
If the sensing edge is activated, the special separate connection reverses
the movement direction for a period of 3 seconds (a subsequent command
continues the movement in the reverse direction).
A 12Vac electric lock can also be connected; the power excitation lasts
about 3 seconds.
The continuous duty EBP electric lock can be connected in parallel to the
blinker (230Vac).
A courtesy light output has been provided with a time range up to 90 sec­onds from the last command given.

4) Functioning logic
The configuration of the control unit Rig el 4 with microprocessor is obtained
by means of the Dip-switches.

Dip-switch 1 Photocells (FCH)

ON - Inhibits the operation of the photocell during the opening movement
and immediately reverses the movement direction in the closing phase as
soon as an obstacle is detected by the photocell.
OFF - When the photocell detects an obstacle and the gate is closing, the
movement of the gate is immediately stopped; as soon as the obstacle has
been removed, the gate opens. If an obstacle is detected by the photocell
when the gate is opening, it stops immediately; as soon as the obstacle has
been removed, the gate completes the opening stroke.

Dip-switch 2 Impulse blocking device (IBL)

ON - The start impulse has no effect on opening.
OFF - The start impulse on opening causes the stop of the gate (Dip 6 OFF)
or the reverse (Dip 6 ON).

Dip-switch 3 Automatic closing (TCA)

ON - Carries out the automatic closing of the gate after a dwell time set on
the TCA trimmer. The automatic closing is activated when: the gate reaches
the opening end of stroke position, the working time on opening has elapsed,
the gate is stopped during the opening phase by a start impulse.
OFF - Inhibits the automatic closing.

Dip-switch 4 Ram blow (HAMMER)

ON - Before opening the gate, it pushes for about 2 seconds on closing. This
permits an easier release of the electric lock.
OFF - Inhibits the ram blow.

Dip-switch 5 Motor 1 opening delay (DELAY OPEN)

ON - Motor 1 starts with a delay of about 3 seconds on opening.
OFF - Motor 1 starts with a delay of about 0.5 seconds on opening.

Dip-switch 6 2 or 4-step logic (2P/4P)

ON - When a start impulse is given while the gate is moving, the movement
direction will be inverted (2 step logic).
OFF - When a start impulse is given while the gate is moving, the gate will
stop; a subsequent impulse will cause the inversion of the movement direc­tion (4 step logic). Note: the start impulse has no effect when the Dip 2 is
OFF during the opening phase.

Dip-switch 7 Pre-alarm (PREAL)

ON - The blinker lights up about 3 seconds prior to motor start.
OFF - The blinker lights up as soon as the motors start.

Dip-switch 8 Block persistence (BLOCK)

ON - If the motors remain still in the complete opening or closing position
for more than one hour, they are pushed for about 3 seconds in the end of
stroke direction. This function is performed every hour.
OFF - Inhibits the block persistence function.
Note: In the case of oil-hydraulic motors, this function is used to compensate
for any possible oil volume decrease due to a temperature decrease during
long pauses (for example during the night) and to keep the grease slightly
heated in all the electromechanical actuators for swing gates.
WARNING: Do not use this function for sliding gates or without appropriate
mechanical blocks.

Dip-switch 9 Reduced or standard working time range (S.TW)

ON - Working time TW between 1‚ 40 seconds (TW.PED from 1 to 20 sec­onds).
OFF - Working time TW between 30‚ 180 seconds (TW.PED from 15 to 90
seconds).

Dip-switch 10 Gate-open/close control (U.P.)

Operates on the signals connected to the terminals 28-29.
ON - Hold-to-run operation: the manoeuvre lasts for as long as the control
key is pressed.
OFF - Separate gate-open/close automatic control: one impulse opens the
gate if closed and vice versa.
