Are you ready for the Eclipse? The MC’s Eclipse operating system is a user friendly menu driven system
that uses the 1-touch button to control, setup and run automatic gates, doors and barriers. It uses a large
4-line LCD screen showing live reading of the motor performance and status of all inputs and outputs.

The MC controller is not just the next generation but the industry game changer. We wanted to create a
controller that is simple to use and does just about any feature required in the gate and door industry.
The MC is not just the next generation but the “Next Transformation” in the gate and door industry
creating an Eclipse over previously developed motor controllers.

This new intelligent motor controller is the best match for your automatic gate or door motors.

The intelligent controller was built from the ground up, based on customer feedback and using todays
technology. With its rich functions, consumer friendly price and with the focus during development
being ease of use and setup makes this controller the ultimate board to control your motors.

Elsema’s easy options to add remote controls or any type of photoelectric beams makes for a very user
friendly approach, while avoiding the lockdown approach to accessories.

The control cards are available with an IP66 rated plastic enclosure for outdoor installations, backup
batteries with charger or the card only. The MC is also suitable for solar gates with its low standby
current of 12mA.

Electrical Wiring - Supply, Motors, Battery and Inputs

Always switch off power before doing any wiring.

Make sure that all the wiring is completed and that the motor is connected to the control
card. Recommended wire strip length should be 12mm for all connections to

the plug in terminal blocks.

The diagram below shows the supply, motors, battery backup and inputs available and the factory default
setting for each input.

1. The i-Learning setup can always be interrupted with the stop button or by pressing the Master
Control knob.

2. Enter Menu 13 to start i-Learning or new control cards will automatically prompt you to do the
i-Learning.

3. Look at the LCD and follow the instructions displayed.

4. The MC control card will open and close the gates or doors several times to learn the load and travel
distances. This is the auto profiling using latest intelligent technology.

5. Buzzer will indicate learning was successful. If there was no buzzer check all electrical wiring
including the power supply then go back to step 1.

6. If you hear the buzzer the gate or door is ready for use.

Setup i-Learning Steps:

Auto close is a feature that automatically closes the gates/doors after a preset time has counted down to
zero. The control card has a normal auto close and several special auto close features each one having
its own countdown timers.

Elsema Pty Ltd recommends a photoelectric beam should be connected to the control card when any of
the auto closes options are used.

If the stop button is pressed Auto Close is disabled for that cycle only. Holding the push button, open
only or photoelectric beam will not allow the auto close timers to count down.

Menu 1 – Auto Close

1.1 Normal Auto Close

The gate/door will close after this timer has counted down to zero.

1.2 Auto Close with Photoelectric Trigger

A photoelectric beam needs to be triggered before this auto close starts counting down to close
the gate/door. If there is no photoelectric beam trigger the gate/door will not close.

1.3 Auto Close after an Open Obstruction

If the gate/door opens and hits an obstruction normally the gate/door will stop and remain in this
position. If this feature is enabled an obstruction will start the timer count down and at zero will
close the gate/door.

Double Gate & Door Controller with Eclipse® Operating System (EOS)

1.4 Auto Close after Power Restored

If the gate/door is open in any position and then there is a power failure, when power is reconnected the
gate/door will close with this timer.

1.5 Normal Auto Close on Sequential Obstructions

If the normal auto close is set and the gate/door closes onto an object the gate/door will stop and reopen.
This setting sets the amount of times the gate/door will try to auto close. After trying for the set limit the
gate/door will remain open.

1.6 Auto Close Only when Fully Opened

The auto close timer will not time out unless the gates/doors are fully opened.

1.7 Auto Close Only at Night

When the DNS is connected and the sensitivity (Menu 16.8) is set correctly the auto close will only work at
night.

Menu 2 – Pedestrian Access

There are several types of Pedestrian access modes. Pedestrian access opens the gate/door for a short
time to allow someone to walk through the gate/door but does not allow a vehicle access.

Elsema Pty Ltd recommends a photoelectric beam should be connected to the control card when any of
the auto closes options are used.

Lock / Brake Output

This output is used to power an electrical lock or a motor brake release. The factory default for the lock/
brake release is on output 1. Output 1 is a voltage-free relay contact with common and normally open
contacts. Having it voltage-free allows you to connect either 12VDC/AC, 24VDC/AC or 240VAC to the
common. The normally open contact drives the lock/brake. See diagram below:

Courtesy Light

This output is used to power a courtesy light. The factory default for the courtesy light is on output 2.
Output 2 is a voltage-free relay contact with common, normally open and normally closed contacts.
Having it voltage-free allows you to connect either 12VDC/AC, 24VDC/AC or 240VAC supply to the
common. The normally open contact drives the light. See diagram on the next page.

should only be able to open the gates/doors and not worry about closing it. Usually the auto close is used to
close the gates/doors. This mode disables closing for the remote controls.

7.2 Holiday Mode

This feature disables all the remote controls.

7.3 Energy Saving Mode

This puts the control card to very low standby current that reduces your electricity bill while still maintaining
normal functions and operations.

Leaf delay is used when one gate leaf will close in an overlapping position to the first closed leaf. This
leaf delay may also be necessary for special add-on locking pins. The control card has separate leaf
delay for the open and close directions.

When the control card is used with a single motor the leaf delay mode is disabled.

Menu 9 – Motor 1 Obstruction Detect Margins

This sets the current sensitivity margin above the normal run current to trip the gates/doors if an
obstruction is detected. Different obstruction margins can be set for the open and close direction. Also
the response time is adjustable.

The minimum margin will allow least pressure applied to trip the gates/doors if it hits an object. The
maximum margin will allow for a large amount of pressure applied to trip the gates/doors if it hits an
object.

current.

If the gates/doors hits an object on closing it will automatically stop and then re-open. If the gates/doors
hit an object on opening it will automatically stop.

Accessories

Battery Charger

The control card has a built in charger for backup
batteries. Simply connect the batteries to the
battery terminal and the charger will automatically
charge the batteries. This allows you to use your
gates or doors when the mains power has failed.
The control card built-in charger is not suitable
for solar applications.

Solar Applications

Solar applications use Elsema solar charger,
CMP12 to charge the batteries and SP20 or
SP40 solar panels. Solar gate controller kits are
available.

WARNING

To use the control card in a solar application you
must set the correct voltage input in the Tools
Menu (16.2). This will disable the automatic
voltage sensing which could causes problems in
solar applications.

Backup Batteries

Elsema has backup batteries perfectly matched to
the control card. Three sizes are available:

Lab12-12, 12 Volt 12 AH Rechargeable, ideal
for solar and industrial gates and doors.

Lab12-7.0, 12 Volt 7.0 AH Rechargeable,
ideal for solar and industrial gates and doors

Lab12-2.6, 12 Volt 2.6 AH Rechargeable,
ideal for domestic gates and doors
