1) GENERAL OUTLINE

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.

WARNING! 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.

4) OPERATOR INSTALLATION

4.1) Preliminary checks

Check that:

• The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy and rigid.

The fixing position must be worked out according to the leaf structure. In any case, the manoeuvring arm must push against a reinforced leaf point.

• The leaves can be moved manually along their entire stroke.

If the gate has not been installed recently, check the wear condition of all its components. Repair or replace defective and worn parts. Operator reliability and safety are directly affected by the condition of the gate structure.

5) SUPPORT PLATE FIXING (Fig.5)

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:

- with the leaf hinge pivot not aligned with the fixing plate

(90° opening – maximum distance between hinge pivot and plate: 210mm)

- with the hinge pivot aligned with the fixing plate Position the anchoring bracket observing the dimensions shown in fig.3 for opening up to 90°, or in fig.2-4 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).

• Assemble the lever arm as in fig.7.

DX = fitting to right leaf SX = fitting to left leaf Choose the most suitable position for fixing bracket “F” to the leaf.

• Insert lever L into the gearmotor output shaft, and fix it using appropriate

pivot P and self-locking nut D (fig.7).

• Release the operator by activating the release lever to allow the arm to move easily (see paragraph “EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE”).

• Open the gearmotor cover and fix it to the plate as indicated in Fig.8.

• Fix towing angle bar “F” to the leaf.

• The correct position for the operator arm is illustrated in fig.6. The leaf

attachment point can be identified by positioning the arm according to the dimension indicated in fig.6.

• With the operator released, check the arm for correct movement.

• Repeat the same procedure for the other leaf.

6) BACKSTOP FIXING

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:

- Identify the opening and closing end-of-stroke points and fix the backstops accordingly.

- Fix protection cover C.

7) ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SET-UP

Arrange the electrical installation as shown in fig.11. Keep the mains voltage connections definitely separate from the very low voltage connections (24V). 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:

- P1 input for mains power supply + GND.

- P2/P3 inputs for safety devices and accessories.

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. Connect the yellow/green cable to the earth terminal. Fig.16 shows the cross-section and the number of connections.

8) TERMINAL BAR 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)

WARNING – During the wiring and installation operations, refer to the

current standards as well as principles of good technical practice. The (24V) very low voltage conductors must be physically separated from the low voltage conductors or otherwise be adequately isolated by means of an additional insulation of at least 1 mm. The 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.15 “D”).

WARNING! 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.

9) PROGRAMMING

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”.

10) CONFIGURATION

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.

INSTALLATION MANUALENGLISH

The following pieces of information appear on the display at first:

- Control unit software version

- Number of total manoeuvres carried out (the value is expressed in thousands, therefore the display constantly shows 0000 during the first thousand manoeuvres)

- Number of manoeuvres carried out since the latest maintenance operation (the value is expressed in thousands, therefore the display constantly shows 0000 during the first thousand manoeuvres)

- Number of memorised radio control devices.

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.

10.1) PARAMETER MENU (PARAm)

- Automatic Closing Time (TCA) [ 10s ]

Set the numerical value of the automatic closing time from 3 to 60 seconds.

- Motor 1 torque (m1 t) [ 50% ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced parameters ⇒ address 3)

Set the numerical value of the motor 1 torque between 1% and 99%.

- Motor 2 torque (m2 t) [ 50% ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced parameters ⇒ address 4)

Set the numerical value of the motor 2 torque between 1% and 99%.

- Motor 1 slow-down torque (m1 t slow) [ 45% ]

(UNIPRO _ Advanced parameters _ address 8) Set the numerical value for slow-down torque of motor 1 between 1% and 99%.

- Motor 2 slow-down torque (m2 t slow) [ 45% ]

(UNIPRO _ Advanced parameters _ address 9) Set the numerical value for slow-down torque of motor 2 between 1% and 99%. 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.

WARNING: 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.

- Opening delay time (open delay time) [ 1s ]

Set the opening delay time for motor 2 relative to motor 1, between 1 and 10 seconds.

- Closing delay time (cls delay time) [ 1s ]

Set the closing delay time for motor 1 relative to motor 2, between 1 and 10 seconds.

- Motor 1 Normal Speed Time (m1 fast time) [ 5s ]

(UNIPRO ﬁ Advanced parameters ﬁ address 6) Set the time to normal speed (not slowed down), ranging from 1 to 30 seconds.

- Motor 2 Normal Speed Time (m2 fast time) [ 5s ]

(UNIPRO ﬁ Advanced parameters ﬁ address 7) Set the time to normal speed (not slowed down), ranging from 1 to 30 seconds. Note: The slow-down time, on closing and on opening, is obtained by timing one manoeuvre, and setting a lower value within this parameter. If, for example, one manoeuvre lasts 25 seconds, set “normal speed time” to 20s to obtain 5s of slow-down time, both on closing and on opening.

- Slow-down speed (slov speed) [ 2 ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced parameters ⇒ address 5)

Set the slow-down speed by choosing from the following values: 0 – slow-down disabled 1 – slow-down to 50% of normal speed 2 – slow-down to 33% of normal speed. 3 – slow-down to 25% of normal speed.

10.2) LOGIC MENU (logic.)

- TCA (TCA) [ OFF ]

ON Activates automatic closing OFF Excludes automatic closing

- 3 Steps (3 step) [ OFF ]

ON Enables 3-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 reopens

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

- Impulse lock (ibl open) [ OFF ]

ON The Start impulse has no effect during the opening phase. OFF The Start impulse becomes effective during the opening or closing

phase.

- Rapid closing (fast cls) [ OFF ]

ON Closes the gate after photocell disengagement, before waiting for

the end of the TCA set.

OFF Command not entered.

- Photocells on opening (photc. open) [ OFF ]

ON: In case of obscuring, this excludes photocell operation on opening.

During the closing phase, it immediately reverses the motion.

OFF: In case of obscuring, the photocells are active both on opening and

on closing. When a photocell is obscured on closing, it reverses the motion only after the photocell is disengaged.

- Photocell test (test phot) [ OFF ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced logics ⇒ address 14)

ON Activates photocell check OFF Deactivates photocell check

If this setting is not activated (OFF), it inhibits the photocell checking function, allowing connection of devices not provided with additional checking contact.

- Gate-open or 2nd radio channel warning light (SCA 2ch) [ OFF ]

ON The output between terminals 25 and 26 is configured as Gate-open

warning light, in this case the 2nd radio channel controls pedestrian opening.

OFF The output between terminals 25 and 26 is configured as 2nd radio

channel.

- Motors in operation (1 mot ON) [ OFF ]

ON Only motor 2 is in operation (terminals 1 and 2).

With this configuration, the pedestrian input is disabled.

OFF Both motors are in operation.

- Lock hold (bloc persist) [ OFF ]

ON To be used when opening and closing mechanical backstops are

fitted. This function activates leaf pressure on the backstop, without this being considered as an obstacle by the ampere-stop sensor. Then the leaf continues its stroke for another 0,5s, after intercepting the limit switches. Therefore the limit switches are triggered slightly in advance, and the leaves will stop perfectly on the end stop plate.

OFF To be used when no mechanical backstops are fitted.

Movement is exclusively stopped by the limit switches being triggered; in this case it is necessary to set the opening and closing limit switch triggering point with precision.

- Prealarm (preal) [ OFF ]

ON The blinker comes on about 3s before the motors start. OFF The blinker comes on at the same time as the motors start

- Fixed code (fixed code) [ OFF ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced logics ⇒ address 13)

ON The receiver is configured for operation in fixed-code mode, see

paragraph on “Radio Transmitter Cloning”.

OFF The receiver is configured for operation in rolling-code mode, see

paragraph on “Radio Transmitter Cloning”.

- Radio transmitter programming (radio prog) [ ON ]

(UNIPRO ⇒ Advanced logics ⇒ address 15)

ON This enables transmitter storage via radio:

1 – First press the hidden key (P1) and then the normal key (T1, T2, T3 or T4) of a transmitter already memorised in standard mode by means of the radio menu. 2 – Within 10s press the hidden key (P1) and the normal key (T1, T2, T3 or T4) of a transmitter to be memorised. The receiver exits the programming mode after 10s, other new transmitters can be entered before the end of this time. This mode does not require access to the control panel.

OFF This disables transmitter storage via radio.

The transmitters can only be memorised using the appropriate Radio menu.
