GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE

For an efficient and safe automated door, correctly observe the installation procedures and use instructions. Incorrect installation and use can cause serious damage to persons and property.

Carefully read the whole installation manual before you begin installing. Do not make any modifications which are not mentioned in this manual. Do not install the operator for uses other than those indicated. To fasten, use the supplied accessories or, in any case, fastening systems (screws, expansion plugs, etc.) suitable for the type of support and for the mechanical stresses exerted by the automated system.

Check if the sectional door conforms to standards EN12604 and EN12605 (the information can be found in the documentation accompanying the door itself). For non-EU countries, the above mentioned standards must be observed in addition to the national standard references to get a suitable safety level. Make sure that the door is correctly balanced, correctly operational, and supplied with mechanical opening stops.

When installing we advise you to:

•obtain the material and tools indicated in the following paragraph “Tools and materials” and keep them near at hand.

•use a stable support for performing operations without a floor support.

•protect your face and hands adequately before making the holes with the drill.

•do not allow children to play near during installation, use and during the automated system release manoeuvre.

•remove any debris and objects which could hamper movement, before powering up the system.

•remove the door’s closing mechanism to ensure the door is closed by the automatism.

•stick on the warning stickers as shown in the instruction.

Install the manual release devices at a height of not over 180cm. Install the external control devices at a height of not below 150 cm, clear of the door movement area, but in a position

enabling visual control of the area. When you have finished installing, check if the anti-crushing device is able to detect a 50mm high object on the ground and if a weight of 20 kg applied to the door, causes the opening movement to stop.

Use the automated system observing the instructions in the “User’s guide”.

The 531EM automated system does not require periodic replacement of parts. Every month, run a functional check of the safety devices and of the anti-crushing system: a non-deformable object with a height of 50 mm laid on the ground, must be correctly detected

Draft, keep and update the maintenance register.

TOOLS AND MATERIALS

Tools required for installing the 531EM operator.

•a hammer drill with relevant wall and iron bits

•screwdrivers for cross-head and cut-head screws

•two flat wrenches for 13 mm hexagon head screws

Material required for installing the 531EM operator and the relevant accessories (if present):

•cable 2x0.5 mm² (emitting photocells, pulse generators for opening movement and stop)

•cable 3x0.5 mm² (radio receiver Plus 1 or PL)

•cable 4x0.5 mm² (receiver photocells)

•cable 2x1.5 mm² (flashing lamp)

•cable 2 x 1.5 + earth (power supply)

Use cables with an adequate degree of insulation. The electric system must conform to the prescriptions in the chapter entitled “Warnings for the installer”.

The 230 Vac power cable must be laid and connected by a qualified installation technician. Arrange for a Schuko 16A socket to be installed near the operator.

Lay the cables in the appropriate pipes and do not allow loose cables to come into contact with moving parts of the automated system and the door.

AUTOMATIC SYSTEM 531EM

These instructions apply to model FAAC 531EM. The 531EM automated systems make it possible to automate balanced sectional doors of single garages for residential use. They consist of an electromechanical operator, electronic control equipment and courtesy light built into a single unit which, fitted to the ceiling, allows door opening by means of a chain or belt transmission. The non-reversing system guarantees mechanical door locking when the motor is not operating, therefore no lock is necessary; a manual release on the inside and one on the outside (optional) allow the door to be moved manually in case of a power failure or malfunction. The operator is supplied with an electronic device that detects the presence of an obstacle that would hinder door movement, and that prevents crushing or lifting. These instructions refer to the operator with chain drive, but the same procedures, adjustments and application limits also apply to the operator with belt drive.

The 531EM automatic systems are designed and built for indoor use and for controlling vehicle entry. Any other use is improper.

6.3. OUTSIDE RELEASE DEVICE (optional)

When using the outside release device, fit the cable in the seat before starting installation.

1) Release the carriage (see par. 7.4. point 3) and bring it to the slot located on the upper part of the sliding guide.

2) Insert the cable end in the special red seat (fig. 10).

3) Move the carriage back towards the drive coupling unit until the through hole on the carriage matches the slot and insert the unsheathed cable (fig. 11).

4) Pull the cable out from the bottom part of the carriage.

5) Wind the cable around so that it is not a hindrance when installing the sliding guide.

7. INSTALLATION

To ensure you work in safe conditions, we advise you to install the operator while keeping the door fully closed. Use the specified anchorage points. The fastening systems must be suitable for the type of support and sufficiently tough. Protect your hands and face adequately while drilling the holes. Read this chapter to the full before you begin installing.

7.1. SLIDING GUIDE

After completing the preliminary assembly operations, install the sliding guide, proceeding as follows:

1) Draw a vertical line on the lintel, corresponding to the centre of the door (fig. 12).

2) Draw a horizontal line on the lintel, corresponding to the max. height reached by the door during movement (see fig. 4).

3) Position the front connection fixing bracket with bottom edge at least 5 mm above the intersection point of the lines and centred with the vertical line (fig. 12). See par.

7.2. for correct positioning of the bracket with respect to the connection point on the door.

4) Mark the two fixing points.

5) Drill the holes and proceed with installation.

Anticrushing sensitivity

In the event of doors with an uneven movement, it allows the sensitivity of the anticrushing device to be reduced in order to avoid unwanted activations.

Speed adjustment

If the door movement is too fast or uneven, the slow carriage speed can be selected.

8.3.3. Courtesy light

The courtesy light stays on for 2 minutes from the end of the operation (not modifiable). During the self-learning cycle the lamp flashes rapidly (on for one second every two). In case of an anomaly in the equipment or if the self-learning cycle does not end correctly, the light flashes slowly (on for two seconds every four).

8.4. CONNECTIONS

IMPORTANT: Always turn the power off before any intervention on the card (connections, programming, maintenance).

The electrical system specifications are given in the chapter “Instructions for the installer”. Always separate power cables from the control cables. To prevent any electrical interference, use separate sheaths. The operator is equipped with a cable with Shuko plug already wired; if using a different cable make sure to connect the earth to the special anchoring point indicated in fig. 26 ref. A. For the cable passage, use the arrangement located on the back of the housing. If tubing is used, execute the slot as shown in fig. 26 ref. B. Carry out the electrical connections, referring to fig. 27. If theSTOP input is not used, jumper connect the input to the terminal . If the photocells are not used, connect the FSW input to the -TX FSW terminal.

8.5. PROGRAMMING

8.5.1. Card settings

Carry out the equipment settings by means of the Dip-Switch DS1 to obtain the required operation.

8.5.2. Learning

During the learning procedure, the obstacle detection device is not operating. The STOP command and the closing safety devices (FSW) are active; their intervention causes interruption of the learning and anomaly signalling.

Refit the courtesy light. The SET-UP cycle can be carried out even with the plastic housing already fitted (fig. 28). To access the programming button, remove the courtesy light ceiling fixture and insert a screwdriver in the special passage (fig. 29). If, on pressing the OPEN pushbutton during the learning phase, the operator does not carry out any movement, check the correct positioning of the housing. If the SET-UP is carried out without the housing fitted, pay maximum attention not to touch live parts and the courtesy light. The learning cycle defines:

- the necessary force for moving the door.

- deceleration points.

- door opening and closing stop points.

- pause time (in automatic logic).

Learning can be started with the operator blocked, regardless of the door position. The procedure also determines the operational logic. The logic tables gives the behaviour of the automation in the various conditions and following commands or safety device intervention.

Learning can be carried out in automatic or manual mode; in the latter case the deceleration points can be established in opening and closing, whereas in automatic, the equipment independently establishes the movement parameters. If the procedure does not conclude correctly (e.g. due to excessive friction during door movement), the equipment signals the anomaly status (the courtesy light flashes slowly). In this case, the procedure must be repeated after the cause has been eliminated.

If, during closure, an obstacle is detected more than three consecutive times, the automated system considers this distance as the new closing contact point and goes into closed status. To restore the correct positions, remove the obstacle and command a new cycle: at the next closure, the automated system will advance at low speed until it detects the closing contact point.

Fig. 29

AUTOMATIC LEARNING WITH LOGIC “E” (SEMIAUTOMATIC)

Press the SET-UP pushbutton for 1 second. The courtesy light starts to flash when the button is released.

1) After 8 seconds the operator automatically does a closing operation until detecting the ground stop.

2) The operator starts the opening movement. Wait until it reaches the opening end travel or effect an OPEN command in the position in which stopping of movement is required.

3) The operator closes the door.

4) Wait until the door reaches the ground stop and the operator stops.

If the learning procedure was successful the courtesy light stops flashing and stays on for 5 seconds. During the 5 seconds, in order to reduce the load on the release system, OPEN pulses can be sent within 2 seconds of each other to reverse the carriage. One pulse equals 5 mm travel. N.B.: Carriage reversing is only visible during normal operation of the automatic system. The electronic equipment establishes the deceleration points.

MANUAL LEARNING WITH LOGIC “E” (SEMIAUTOMATIC)

Press the SET-UP pushbutton for one second. The courtesy light starts flashing when the button is released. Carry out the following procedure within 8 seconds (otherwise the operator will carry out automatic learning).

1) Effect the 1st OPEN command: the operator carries out a closing operation until detecting the ground stop and stops.

2) Effect the 2nd OPEN command: the operator carries out an opening movement.

3) Effect the 3rd OPEN command to establish the point at which the start of deceleration is required.

4) Effect the 4th OPEN command to establish the point of stopping in opening, or wait until the automatic system detects the opening end travel and stops.

5) Effect the 5th OPEN command: the automatic system starts the closing movement.

6) Effect the 6th OPEN command to establish the point at which the start of deceleration is required.

7) Wait until the door reaches the ground stop and the operator stops.

If the learning procedure was successful, the courtesy light stops flashing and remains on for 5 seconds. During these 5 seconds, in order to reduce the load on the release system, OPEN pulses can be sent within 2 seconds of each other to reverse the carriage. A pulse equals 5 mm travel. N.B.: Carriage reversing is only visible during normal operation of the automatic system.

AUTOMATIC LEARNING WITH LOGIC “A” (AUTOMATIC)

Hold down the SET-UP pushbutton until the courtesy light comes on (approx. 5 seconds). On releasing the button the courtesy light starts flashing.

1) After 4 seconds the operator automatically carries out closing until detecting the ground stop.

2) The operator moves the door in opening. Wait until it reaches the opening end travel or effect an OPEN command in the position in which stopping of movement is required.

3) The operator closes the door.

4) Wait until the door reaches the ground stop and the operator stops.

stopped and the closing movement starts.

6) Effect the 6th OPEN command to establish the point at which the start of deceleration is required.

7) Wait until the door reaches the stop and the operator stops.

ON GROUND MANUAL SETTING OF CONTACT POINT (learning mode)

During the learning phase, the operator seeks the ground stop using the maximum deliverable force (600N). To avoid excessive stress, the stopping point can also be established manually: when the automatic system executes the closing movements, effect an OPEN command when the stop is reached, If the stop commands are incongruous at the first and second closing, the automatic system will signal anomaly status and the learning cycle will have to be repeated. During normal operation, the automated system in any case searches for the contact point, but it exercises only the force necessary to move the door.

N.B.: at the end of the learning cycle make the automatic system do a complete cycle to allow it to acquire the correct stopping point in closing. After this cycle, if the automation reopens the door again, command its closing.

PRE-FLASHING

The pre-flashing function can be activated and disabled (following an OPEN command, the unit activates the flashing lamp for 5 seconds before it starts the movement). Procedure:

1) Press and hold down the SETUP key.

2) Press the OPEN key too after about 3 seconds. If the courtesy lamp goes ON, pre-flashing was activated, if instead, it stays OFF, pre-flashing was disabled.

3) Release both push-buttons.

MANUAL LEARNING WITH LOGIC “A” (AUTOMATIC)

Hold down the SET-UP pushbutton until the courtesy light comes on (approx. 5 seconds). On releasing the button the courtesy light starts flashing. Carry out the following procedure within 4 seconds (otherwise the operator carries out automatic SETUP).

1) Effect the 1st OPEN command: the operator carries out a closing operation until detecting the ground stop.

2) Effect the 2nd OPEN command: the operator carries out an opening movement.

3) Effect the 3rd OPEN command to establish the point at which the start of deceleration is required.

4) Effect the 4th OPEN command to establish the point of stopping in opening, or wait until the automatic system detects the opening end travel. After stopping, the count of time when the automatic system is left open begins. This is the pause that will be respected in normal operation (max. 3 minutes).

5) Effect the 5th OPEN command: the pause time count is

9. START-UP

particular attention to the safety devices and the operator anticrushing device. Check if the automated system is able to detect an obstacle with a height of 50mm laid on the ground. Apply the stickers indicating the release manoeuvre near the automated system. Apply the danger signal sticker (fig. 30), so that it is clearly visible, near to the door or near to the control device. Give the customer the “User’s Guide” page, illustrate system operation and the operator release and lock operations indicated in the Guide.

10. MAINTENANCE

Run a functional check of the system at least every 6 months, with special attention to the efficiency of the safety and release devices. Once a month: check the efficiency of the anti-crushing device and also check if it is able to detect a 50 mm high obstacle laid on the ground.

. REPAIRS

For possible repairs, contact authorized FAAC Repair Centres.

. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

Check the status of the LEDS, following the indications given in the “Input LEDs status” tables. Check the connections given in fig. 27

Check door balancing and make sure it moves without excessive friction. Move the door manually using the door bar attachment and make sure movement is smooth without requiring excessive pushing or pulling.

Do a new learning cycle, then reduce the closing thrust commanding carriage reversal as described in par. 8.5.2

13. ACCESSORIES

Use of the safety edge with conductive element is facilitated by the possibility of housing the special control unit (fig. 31) on the operator. The outside release device can be installed with lever system (fig. 32 ref. A) or key (fig. 32 ref. B). The central support (fig. 33) offers a central fixing point also for the one-piece sliding guide. Using the RP receiver, its range can be increased with the special antenna. To install the antenna on the automatic system, drill the housing from the inside in the controlled area (fig. 34) and fix the antenna with the special nut (fig. 35). Using the RP2 868SLH receiver, the second channel can be used for the STOP command or for activating other devices (e.g. lighting systems) using the free contact output. The buffer battery kit will activate the automated system in the event of a power cut. The battery is housed in an appropriate enclosure located outside the operator. For installation, see the instructions for the individual accessories.

USER’S GUIDE

Carefully read the instructions before using the product and keep them for possible future needs.

GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

When correctly installed and used, the 531EM automatic system ensure a high degree of safety. Some simple rules can also prevent accidental problems:

- Never stand under the door.

- Do not allow children, persons or things near the automatic systems, especially during operation.

- Transit must occur while the door is fully open and with the automated system stopped. Keep the door under control during the entire movement and prevent other people accessing the area involved.

- Keep remote controls or other pulse generators that could open the door, out of reach of children.

- Do not allow children to play with the automatic system.

- Do not deliberately obstruct door movement.

- Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with door movement.

- Keep the signalling lights efficient and clearly visible.

- Do not try to manually operate the door without having released it.

- In the event of malfunctions, release the door to allow entry and request the intervention of qualified technical personnel.

- After setting the manual operation mode, switch off the power to the system before restoring normal operation.

- Do not make any modifications to the components of the automatic system.

- Do not attempt any kind of repair or direct intervention; contact qualified FAAC personnel only.

- At least every six months have qualified personnel check the automatic system, safety devices and earth connection.

DESCRIPTION

The 531EM automated system is ideal for automating balanced sectional doors of individual residential garages. The automatic systems consist of an electromechanical operator, electronic control appliance, courtesy light and protection housing incorporated in a single unit. The non-reversing system guarantees mechanical door locking when the motor is not operating, therefore no lock is necessary; a manual release allows the door to be moved manually in case of a power failure or malfunction. The automatic system is equipped with an electronic device for detecting obstacles. If an obstacle is detected during the closing manoeuvre, the automated system fully re-opens the door. If the automated system operates in automatic logic, the door re-closes after the pause time, otherwise, a new pulse will have to be given to command closure. If an obstacle is detected during the opening manoeuvre, this will stop motion (e.g. thus preventing things and people from being lifted). To restore normal operation, give a new opening pulse. If, during closure, an obstacle is detected in the same position more than three consecutive times, the automated system considers this distance as the new closing contact point and goes into closed status. To restore the correct positions, remove the obstacle and command a new cycle: at the next closure, the automated system will advance at low speed until it detects the closing contact point. The door is normally closed; when the electronic control unit receives an opening command from the remote control, or from any other type of pulse generator (fig.1), it activates the electric motor which, by means of a chain or belt transmission, opens the door to allow entry.

- If the automatic mode has been set, the door closes automatically after pause time. An opening pulse supplied during opening has no effect.

- If the semiautomatic mode has been set, a second pulse is needed to close the door again.

- An opening pulse during opening stops movement.An opening pulse during re-closing always causes reversal of movement.

- A stop pulse (if supplied) always stops movement.

For details on door behaviour in the different logics, consult the installation Technician. The automatic systems can include accessories (photocells) that prevent the door from closing when there is an obstacle in the area they control. Emergency manual opening is possible by means of the special release system. The indicator light (when provided) signals that the door is moving. The courtesy light is activated when the motor starts and stays on for about 2 minutes after it stops. If the courtesy light flashes, this means that the automated system is in shut-down status due to a fault, and qualified personnel must be called in to repair.

MANUAL OPERATION

The 531EM operator has an emergency release system which can be activated from the inside; however, by request a lock can be fitted for activating the release also from the outside. If the door has to be moved manually due to a power failure or a fault in the automatic system, the release device must be used as follows:

- Disconnect the power supply to the system.

- Release the operator, by pulling the release handle downward (fig. 2 rif. A).

Attention: make sure that there are no persons, animals or objects in the door movement area during the release manoeuvre.

RESTORING AUTOMATIC OPERATION

- Re-lock the automatic system by pulling the handle sideways (fig. 2 ref. B) and, on release, make sure the “LOCK” indication window under the carriage is red, confirming correct reset.

- Move the door until locating the coupling point.

- Switch the power on to the system.

MAINTENANCE

The 531EM automated system does not require any periodic replacement of parts. Once a month: check if the anti-crushing system is able to detect the presence of a 50mm high obstacle laid on the ground.

LAMP REPLACEMENT

To replace the lamp, unscrew and remove the ceiling fixture support screw. Slide the ceiling fixture in the direction shown by the arrow (fig. 3) and replace the lamp (type 230Vac max 25W).
