Note about safety devices

These are all devices (photocells, safety edges, magnetic coils,
etc.) with an N.C. contact which are activated if an obstacle
obstructs the area protected by the safety devices and stop the
movement of the gate leaves (fig. 3).
Ü If the opening safety devices are activated when the gate

is closed, they prevent the leaves from opening.
If the closing safety devices are activated when the gate
is open, they prevent the leaves from closing.

4 - IN4 = FSW-CL Closing safety device contact (N.C.)

During closure, activation of the safety devices
causes the gate leaves to reverse their direction
of movement. They are not activated during
opening.
Ü If closure safety devices are not connected,

jumper this input to the common contact
(terminal 6 or 7).
The function of the closure safety devices is
to safeguard the area affected by the
movement of the leaves during closure (B,
fig. 3).

5 - IN5 = FSW-OP Opening safety device contact (N.C.)

During opening the safety devices stop the
movement of the gate leaves. When released
they reverse the direction of movement.
Ü If opening safety devices are not connected,

jumper this input with the common contact
(terminal 6 or 7).
The function of the opening safety devices
is to safeguard the area behind the gate
leaves (A, fig. 3).

Connector J1

Optional modules (MEI - MEL1 - MEL2) and/or the FAACTOTUM
connection cable must be inserted in connector J1 (Fig. 14).
The connector can be fitted one way only so that the module
terminal block is oriented in the same direction as the 460P card
terminal block. Disconnect power from the card before inserting
or removing the modules.

4. OPTIONAL MODULES

The optional modules are additional electronic cards installed
on the 460P.
Each module has two connectors: one on the soldered side, the
other on the component side.
The connector on the soldered side allows the module to be
inserted into card 460P connector J1 or into the connector on
the component side of another module.
The connector on the component side can be used to fit
another module or the FAACTOTUM connection cable into the
module.

The currently available modules are:

MEL-1 : single electric lock management module.
MEL-2 : double electric lock management module.
MEI : input expansion module.

The electric lock management modules must not both be
installed on the same 460P card.
One input expansion module (MEI) and one electric lock
management module (MEL-1 or MEL-2) can be installed, bearing
the following in mind:
The MEI module must be fitted into the 460P card connector J1
and the electric lock management module must be fitted on
top of the MEI module.
The connecting cable to the FAACTOTUM must be inserted into
the 460P card connector J1 if it is free (i.e. when no other
optional module is installed) or into the free connector of the
last installed module.

Fig. 14

3. INSTALLATION

Install the electronic control unit in enclosures with adequate
housing protection (min. IP55).
The cable holes and tube grips used for wiring must not reduce
the housing protection of the enclosure.
The 460P is provided with standard preset programming (the
characteristics are given in Table 2). For details of operation,
refer to Table 9.

Ü The inputs CLOSE, SAFE-OP, SAFE-CL and EMERG are

available only by installing the input expansion module MEI
on the card (it is not necessary to program with the
FAACTOTUM).

3.1 CHECKING DIRECTION OF ROTATION

1) Turn off power supply to 460P card.

2) Move the gate or barrier manually to its halfway open
position.

3) Lock the operators again.

4) Turn the power supply back on.

5) Send an opening pulse and check that this opens the leaf
or the barrier.

If the first opening pulse closes one or both leaves, invert the
electric motor phases (brown and black cables) on the card
terminal block for each leaf that closes.

Module MEL-1

The module MEL-1 (Fig. 15) is able
to control either just one electric
lock or a number of electric locks
activated simultaneously (using
an external power supply). A free
contact is available between
terminals 3 (COM) and 4 (N.O.).
In the connection diagram shown
in Fig. 16, just one 12 Vdc electric
lock with 12 ohm internal
resistance must be installed.
A different type of electric lock or
a number of electric locks in
parallel can be installed using an
adequate external power supply
as shown in the diagram in Fig. 17.
In this case do not exceed the
maximum permitted contact
capacity (5A max.).

Ü The MEL-1 module can be installed on the 460P card

without it being necessary to perform any programming
when using a

closure electric lock.

- only when the gate starts to close

- when the gate starts to open and when it starts to close.

Module MEL 2

The module MEL-2 (Fig. 18) is able
to control 2 inputs for
independent electric locks. Two
free contacts are available
between terminals 3 (COM), 5
(N.O.) and 6 (N.O.).
Following the connection
diagram shown in Fig. 19, a
maximum of two 12 Vdc electric
locks with 12 ohm internal
resistance can be installed.
It is possible to install different
types of electric locks or a number
of electric locks in parallel using
external power sources following
the connection diagram shown
in Fig. 20.
In this case do not exceed the
maximum allowed capacity of
the contacts (2 A max.).

Single-leaf automation

In single-leaf automation the closure electric lock (Fig. 19) or
electric locks (Fig. 20) must be connected to terminal 6, while
the opening electric lock (Fig. 19) or electric locks (Fig. 20) must
be connected to terminal 5.

Double-leaf automation

In double-leaf automation the electric lock (Fig. 19) or electric
locks (Fig. 20) of leaf 1 (connected to motor M1) must be
connected to terminal 6, while the electric lock (Fig. 19) or
electric locks (Fig. 20) of leaf 2 (connected to motor M2) must
be connected to terminal 5.
Closing the contacts between terminals 3-5 and 3-6 activates
the electric lock(s) connected to them.
By using the FAACTOTUM these contacts can be programmed
to close as follows:

- only when the gate starts to open

- only when the gate starts to close

- when the gate starts to open and when it starts to close.

N.B. the maximum capacity
of the free contact is 5A.

MEI

CLOSE

IN6 IN7 IN 8 IN 9 IN10 IN11

The MEI module can be installed without any need for
programming (except for the inputs reserved for the Gatecoder/
Limit Switch, which must be configured). Be sure to observe the
allocation of the default inputs below:

IN6 - CLOSE = Closure command (N.O.)

This means any device (e.g. pushbutton) which
gives a command to close the leaf/leaves when
a contact is closed in “deadman” logic. In the
other logics, when the gate is open, on pause
or stopped, it gives the command to close the
leaf/leaves while it is inactive with the gate
closed or opening.

IN7 - SAFE CL = Safety edge closing (N.C.)

This input is specifically for connecting
pneumatic safety edges which intervene
during the closure phase.
Opening this contact during the closure phase
causes timed inversion (2 sec. subject to
modification) and then stops the movement.
Ü If no devices are connected, jumper this

input to the negative (terminal “-” of MEI
module if the Failsafe is disabled, terminal 9
of 460P if the Failsafe is enabled).

IN8 - SAFE OP = Safety edge opening (N.C.)

This input is specifically for connecting
pneumatic safety edges which intervene
during the opening phase.
Opening this contact during the opening phase
causes timed inversion (2 sec. subject to
modification) and then stops the movement.
Ü If no devices are connected, jumper this

input to the negative (terminal “-” of MEI
module if the Failsafe is disabled, terminal 9
of 460P if the Failsafe is enabled).
It is possible to connect devices which activate
simultaneously , such as opening and closing safety
edges (see connection examples in section 8).
If these safety devices activate during opening or
closing, they stop the gate.
For details of operation, ref er to T able 9.

IN 9 - EMERG = Panic device (N.C.)

This means any device (e.g. pushbutton) which
immediately opens the gate or barrier when a
contact is opened regardless of the state of
the other inputs.
Once the panic opening command has been
given, normal operation can be resumed only
by resetting the contact and turning the
electronic control unit off and then back on
again.

Ü If no devices are connected, jumper this

input to the negative (terminal “-” of MEI
module).

GC1/FCA1 = Gatecoder 1 / Opening limit switch 1

This input varies according to the programming
performed (use of Gatecoder or Limit switch):

Gatecoder used

This is the input for the signal coming from the
Gatecoder installed on the leaf connected to
the motor M1 (LEAF 1).

Limit switch used

Input for Leaf 1 opening limit switch contact.
The limit switch is a device with an N.C. contact
which slows down the leaf connected to motor
M1 (LEAF 1) if the contact opens during the leaf
opening phase.

= FCA1 (N.C.)

Gatecoder and Limit switch not used

In this case the input is not active.

IN 11 -

GC2/FCC1 = Gatecoder 2 / Closure Limit Switch 1

This input varies according to the programming
performed (use of Gatecoder or Limit switch):

Gatecoder used

This is the input for the signal coming from the
Gatecoder installed on the leaf connected to
motor M2 (LEAF 2).

Limit switch used

Input for Leaf 1 closure limit switch contact.
The limit switch is a device with an N.C.
contact which slows down the leaf connected
to motor M1 (LEAF 1) if the contact opens
during the leaf opening phase.

= GC2

= FCC 1 (N.C.)

Gatecoder and Limit switch not used

In this case the input is not active.

5. GATECODER

The Gatecoder is an electronic detector that reads in real time
the exact position of the leaf for the gate on which it is installed.
Two-leaf gates require a Gatecoder for each leaf.
The GATECODER is compatible only with the 460P card.

Table 7 GATECODER technical characteristics

Power supply 24Vdc
Housing protection IP 66
Ambient temperature -20 °C +55 °C
Connection to 460P 3x0.35 mm2 cable length 1 metre
Functions Deceleration/anti-crushing

Installable on operators 402-422-400

By using a learning cycle during the 460P card programming
phase, the Gatecoder slows down the leaf at the desired point
during both closing and opening.
Furthermore the Gatecoder also constitutes an effective
electronic anti-crushing safety device (which can be disabled)
because if an obstacle is detected while the leaf is moving it
reverses the direction of movement.
The obstacle detection time before reversal of movement is
programmable (standard 1 sec.).

5.1 INSTALLATION

Refer to Fig. 23.

1) 1) Insert the Gatecoder support fork (1) into the operator
fitting rear bracket. The tongue (2) must be facing the post.

2) Fit the operator support fork to the bracket, inserting the pin
(4) in such a way that the hexagonal part of the pin engages
in the hexagonal seat on the fork. Lock by tightening the nut.

3) Thread the connecting cable (6) through the hole on the
bracket as shown in the diagram.

4) Insert the GATECODER pin into the long pin housing, making
sure that the flat part is matched up with the securing dowel
(5).
At the same time insert the tongue (2) on the fork (1) into the
Gatecoder housing.

6. INPUT MANAGEMENT (requires FAACTOTUM)

The 460P is able to control the following inputs:

Ü Limitations in assigning of inputs:

1) The terminal IN1 (OPEN-A) does not appear in the assigning
cycle because it cannot be changed.

2) Terminals IN2-IN5 can be assigned different functions to the
default functions, chosen from inputs nos. 6-13 given in
table 8.

3) Limit switches cannot be used at the same time as the
Gatecoder and vice versa.

4) With the sole exception given below, it is not possible to
assign the same function to more than one terminal.

5) The 460P card terminal IN2 can also be configured as a
second OPEN-A input so that if an opening control device
shorts on one of the two inputs, the devices connected to
the other input continue to control the automation as
normal.

6) It is not possible to move an input which already has an
assigned default terminal on the 460P card (e.g. the STOP
function cannot be assigned to terminal IN5 on the 460P
card).

7) Each terminal, with the exception of IN1 and IN2, can be
deactivated by selecting the “INACT” function in the input
assigning cycle.

460P with MEI module

The 5 inputs on the 460P card plus the 6 inputs o the MEI module

available by default are shown in Fig. 25.

11/b FCC1 leaf 1 closing limit switch N.C.
12 FCA2 leaf 2 opening limit switch N.C.
13 FCC2 leaf 2 closing limit switch N.C.

Ü Leaf 1 is the leaf connected to motor M1

Leaf 2 is the leaf connected to motor M2

On the 460P and the MEI module the terminal block inputs are
assigned by default.
The FAACTOTUM can be used during the programming phase
to change the assigned inputs according to the rules given
below.

The inputs IN6-IN9 are active without the need for programming
using the FAACTOTUM. Simply insert the MEI module into the
460P with the standard configuration.

Ü Limitations in assigning of inputs:

1) The terminal IN1 (OPEN-A) does not appear in the assigning

cycle because it cannot be changed.

2) Terminals IN10-IN11 do not appear in the assigning cycle

because they are set directly by the FAACTOTUM according
to the selections made during programming (use of
Gatecoder or limit switches). If neither the Gatecoder or
the limit switches are used they are inactive.

3) If the limit switches are used, terminals IN2-IN9 can be

assigned different functions to those set by default, chosen
among inputs 12-13 given in table 8.

4) Limit switches cannot be used at the same time as the

Gatecoder and vice versa.

5) With the sole exception given below, it is not possible to

assign the same function to more than one terminal.

6) The 460P card terminal IN2 can also be configured as a

second OPEN-A input so that if an opening control device
shorts on one of the two inputs, the devices connected to
the other input continue to control the automation as
normal.

7) It is not possible to move an input which already has an

assigned default terminal on the 460P card or the MEI
module (e.g. the STOP function cannot be assigned to
terminal IN5 on the 460P card).

8) Each terminal, with the exception of IN1, IN2, IN10 and IN11,

can be deactivated by selecting the “INACT” function in the
input assigning cycle.

7. FAILSAFE

FAILSAFE is a system for checking the functionality of the photocells.
The check is always performed before the motors are started. It turns off the power supply temporarily to the photocell transmitter
and checks that this causes the contact on the receiver to open. If it does not, movement of the leaves is inhibited for safety reasons.
To enable the FAILSAFE it must be set during the programming phase.
Using the FAILSAFE requires a separate power supply for the photocell transmitter (see Figs. 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31)
