Transceiver system for safety edge

1. DESCRIPTION

The system is intended as safety device for gates and includes a RCOO900 (connected to the control unit) and maximum 8 TCOO900 (maximum 8
safety edge for each relay). It can work with both mechanical edges (dry contact N.C. or N.O), and 8,2kΩ resistive edges. The contacts of the fixed
device are independent and can be connected to the relative input of the control unit, put in series to the stop of the control unit, or in series to the
photo devices contacts. Two contacts are also present on the fixed device to be able to carry out the self – test system.
The transmission of the signals between fixed and movable device happens on 902-928 MHz band in bidirectional way.

The installation and the maintenance of the system must be carried out by qualified personnel. Allmatic can not be considered responsible
for any damages caused by an improper, incorrect or irrational use of the product.
Warning: this device can block the automation if the batteries of the movable part is flat.

the battery holder. Pay attention to the polarity .

Fix the device as much higher than possible in such way as there are
no obstacles on the direction of the receiver and in such a way as the
maximum distance between the two devices is less than 15 meters
(max 20 meters).

4.2 RCOO900 connection

Put the RCOO900 in such a way to minimize the distance from the

1

associated TCOO900 and close the to the automation’s control unit
or inside the box of the motor. If fixed to a wall, utilize suitable screws
and plugs so that it can resist to a force of 50N downwards.

Set the dip switch relative to the utilized frequency (DIP 3 and DIP 4)
which will have to correspond to the one of the TCOO900.

Depending on the type of signal required, connect the outputs as

which can settle on them during the normal
functioning.

(*) The inputs are handled in the same way as the photocells test: the control unit, to carry out the photocells test, switches off the power supply of the
receiver and check that the relays of the correspondent receiver opens itself. In this device, the input TEST1 and TEST2 are for testing the security
devices (see paragraph 12).

6. SELECTION OF THE TYPE OF SIGNAL ON OUTPUT RELAY

Each relay has two different outputs. These outputs are:

1. N.C. contact (contact opens in case of alarm and closes if there is not alarm);

2. N.O. contact (contact closes in case of alarm and opens if there is not alarm) or a contact type 8K2 (resistance of the contact = 0Ω in case of
alarm and resistance of the contact = 8,2kΩ if there is not alarm): the selection of the output type is through dip switches 5 and 6.

WARNING: in case of using 8k2 signal, the control unit connected to the device must be able to handle this type of signal.

The selection of the signal type is carried out in the following way:

7. SELECTION OF THE WORKING FREQUENCY

For each RCOO900 and relative TCOO900 it is possible to select a work frequency. This allows to be able to utilize up to a maximum of 4 RCOO900
on the same range of action without interferences.
For a correct functioning of the system it is indispensable that the frequency set on the RCOO900 corresponds to the frequency set on the
associated TCOO900. The selection of the frequency happens with DIP 3 and 4 on the RCOO900 and with DIP 4 and 5 on the TCOO900 as reported
on the following tables:

RCOO900

Frequency 1 ON ON

Frequency 2 ON OFF

Frequency 3 OFF ON

8. FLAT BATTERY

The battery life is of about 2 years (5 years in Low Power modality). The TCOO900 keeps constantly under control the state of its batteries. When the
tension gets down under a pre – set value, this state is signaled to the associated RCOO900 which signals it (if the buzzer is active) with 4 BIP. If the
battery is not substituted, the TCOO900 will continue to regularly work until the tension of the batteries won’t get down under the minimum safety
threshold. If this happens, the RCOO900 will signal it with 5 BIP putting itself in state of alarm .
The device will remain in state of alarm until the battery of the transmitter won’t be substituted.

The substitution of the battery must be carried out by qualified personnel being necessary to open the TCOO900.

9. RCOO900 RESET

Through to the button on the RCOO900 it is possible, further than to carry out the programming of the TCOO900 (see paragraph 5), to carry out the
reset of the device deleting all the associated TCOO900. Proceed as follows to carry out the reset:

10. PROGRAMMING / TEST KEY OF THE TCOO900

On each TCOO900, two keys, said “programming/test key”, and two leds are present. The pressure of the key of the safety edge that is tested during
the normal functioning (so not in programming) produces a signal that is sent to the receiver which close the contact of the relay and answers to this
signal with:

1 Regular functioning, no mistake found.

2 One or more sensitive edges on alarm.

3 One or more 8K2 sensitive edges disconnected.

4 Battery tension under the level of attention.

5 Battery tension under the minimum level.

6 One or more associated devices disconnected

Note: If one TCOO900 is in alarm but it necessary to open or close the automation in any case, it’s necessary to press and keep pressed the
programming / test button of the indicted TCOO900 and in the same time move the automation.

WARNING: If the batteries are completely flat, it will be necessary to change them.

11. ENERGY SAVING (LOW POWER)

Through the dip switch Low Power present on the TCOO900 it is possible to limit the frequency with which it transmits its state of functioning (period of
interrogation): in this case it will be necessary to keep in consideration the dangerous condition that can be created if the power supply (battery) is
taken off from the TCOO900 during the interval of time before the successive transmission of its state and successively to the alarm from the safety
edge: in this case the RCOO900 will signal the alarm only after the period of interrogation.

With the dip 3 of the TCOO900 on OFF: energy saving deactivated, it checks the state of the TCOO900 each second (Low Power deactivated)
With the dip 3 of the TCOO900 on ON: energy saving activated, it checks the state of the TCOO900 each 15 seconds (Low Power activated)

12. DEVICES TEST

Through the dip switch 1 of the RCOO900 it is possible to select if the device test must be carried out with a high logic signal (so the test will activate
itself if between the terminals TEST1 and TESTC will be present a tension from 10V dc to 24 Vdc) or with a low logic signal (so the test will activate
itself if between the terminals TEST1 and TESTC will be present a tension of 0Vdc). In this case, the test will be carried out for the device memorized
to the relay 1. The same is for TEST2 and TESTC for the device memorized to the relay 2.

With the dip 1 of the RCOO900 on OFF: the test of the device is executed by applying a high logic signal 10-24 Vdc at the input.
With the dip 1 of the RCOO900 on ON: the test of the device is executed by applying a low logic signal 0 Vdc at the input.

Note: in case you do not want to use the test of the device, place the dip 1 on OFF.
