6. START-UP

6.1. Control board connection

Before attempting any work on the board (connections,
programming, maintenance), always turn off power.

Follow points 10, 11, 12, 13 and14 of the GENERAL SAFETY
OBLIGATIONS.
Following the instructions in Fig. 3, route the cables through the
raceways and make the necessary electric connections to the
selected accessories.
Always separate power cables from control and safety cables (push­button, receiver, photocells, etc.). To avoid any electric noise
whatever, use separate sheaths.

6.1.1. Earthing

Connect the earth cables as shown in Fig.16 ref.A.

Fig.16

6.1.2. Electronic control unit

In the gearmotors, the electronic control unit is fitted to an
adjustable support (Fig. 16 ref. 1) with transparent lid (Fig. 16 ref.

3).
The board programming push buttons (Fig. 16 ref. 4) have been
located on the lid. This allow the board to be programmed without
removing the lid.
For correct connection of the control unit, follow indications the
specific instructions:

Notes on rack installation

• Make sure that, during the gate travel, all the rack elements
do not exit the pinion.

• Do not, on any account, weld the rack elements either to the
spacers or to each other.

• When the rack has been installed, to ensure it meshes correctly
with the pinion, it is advisable to lower the gearmotor position
by about 1.5 mm (Fig.15).

• Manually check if the gate correctly reaches the mechanical
limit stops maintaining the pinion and rack coupled and make
sure there is no friction during gate travel.

• Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack and pinion.

Fig.13

Fig.14

6.2. Positioning the limit switches

The operator has a mechanical travel stop
with spring-lever, which commands gate
movement to stop when a profiled steel plate,
secured on the top of the rack, activates the
spring until the microswitch is tripped. The plate
support can be fitted to all racks with max.
width of 13 mm.
Procedure for correct positioning of the two
travel stop plates supplied:

1) Fit and secure the 2 profiled steel plates on the 2 U-supports,
using the supplied nuts and washers, as shown in figure 17.

2) Prepare the operator for manual operation as described in
paragraph 8.

3) Power up the system.

4) Securing the opening limit switch: manually take the gate to
opening position, leaving 20 mm from the mechanical travel
stop.

5) Allow the plate to slide over the rack in opening direction
(Fig.18). As soon as the opening limit switch LED on the control
board goes off, take the plate forward by about 20÷30 mm
and secure it provisionally on the rack, using the supplied screws.

6) Repeat the operations at points 4 and 5 for the closing limit
switch, Fig. 19.

18

Fig.17

Fig.18

Important:

a) The plate must activate the limit-switch on the profiled part as

shown in figure 20.

b) If the wheel and the travel stop plate are too close, it may be

necessary to shorten the limit-switch spring by a couple of turns.
Procedure for shortening the spring:

- To remove the spring, turn it clockwise. This operation requires
some force.

- Shorten the spring as shown in Fig. 22: two turns correspond
to about 3 mm.

- Fit the spring turning it clockwise, Fig. 23, until the stop is
reached; see Fig. 24.

- Once the spring is back in place, ensure the wheel is horizontal.
A wrong wheel orientation may jeopardise the operation
of the limit switches.

POWER SUPPLY (terminals PE-N-L):
PE: Earth connection
N:Power supply ( Neutral )
L:Power supply ( Line )

NB.: For correct operation, the board must be connected to the

earth conductor in the system. Install an adequate differential
thermal breaker upstream of the system.

4.3. J6 Terminal board - Motors and flashing lamp (fig. 30)

MOTOR - (terminals 13-14-15): Motor connection.

In gearmotors with a built-in control unit, this connection is pre­wired standard. For leaf opening direction, see basic
programming in par. 5.1.

LAMP - (terminals 16 -17): Flashing lamp output.

4.4. J1 Terminal board - Accessories (fig. 30)

OPEN A - "Total Opening" command (terminal 1): any pulse

generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by closing a
contact, commands total opening and/or closing of the
gate leaf.

To install several total opening pulse generators, connect
the N.O. contacts in parallel (see fig. 42).

OPEN B - "Partial opening " or "Closing" command (terminal 2):

any pulse generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which,
by closing a contact, commands partial opening and/or
closing of the gate leaf. In the B, C and B/C logics, it always
commands gate closure.

To install several partial opening pulse generators, connect
the N.O. contacts in parallel (see fig. 42).

FSW OP - Opening safety devices contact (terminal 3): The

purpose of the opening safety devices is to protect the leaf
movement area during opening. During opening, in the A-
AP-S-E-EP logics the safety devices reverse the movement
of the gate leaves, or stop and restart the movement when
they are released (see advanced programming in Par 5.2).
During the opening cycle in logics B, C and B/C, they
interrupt movement. They never operate during the closing
cycle.
If the Opening safety devices are engaged when the gate
is closed, they prevent the leaf opening movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts
in series (fig. 32).

NB.: If no opening safety devices are connected, jumper

EDGE - EDGE safety device contact (terminal 6): The purpose of

the "edge" safety device is to protect the leaf movement
area during opening/closing against fixed obstacles (pillars,
walls, etc.). In all logics, during opening and closing, the
safety devices reverse gate leaf movement for 2 seconds. If
the safety devices operate again during the 2-seconds
reversing time, they STOP movement without any reversing.
If the Edge safety devices are engaged while the gate is
closed or open, they prevent the leaves movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts
in series (fig. 32).

NB.: If edge safety devices are not connected, jumper
connect the EDGE and - inputs. (fig. 33).

Important: Accessories max. load is 500 mA. To calculate

absorption values, refer to the instructions for individual
accessories.

TX -FSW - Negative for power supply to photocell transmitters

(terminal 11)

If you use this terminal for connecting the negative for
supplying power to the photocell transmitters, you may, if
necessary, also use the FAIL SAFE function (see advanced
programming in par. 5.2).
If this function is enabled, the equipment checks operation
of the photocells before every opening or closing cycle.

this terminal and the +24V (see advanced programming
in par. 5.2). To avoid geopardising correct operation of
the system, do not exceed the indicated power.

4.6. Connector J6 - Limit-switches rapid connection (fig. 30)

This input is intended for rapid connection of the opening and
closing limit-switches designed to stop the leaf, or for start of
decelerations or for braking (see advanced programming in
Par. 5.2.). In gearmotors with a built-in control unit, this connection
is pre-wired as standard (fig. 30). For leaf opening direction, see
advanced programming in Par 5.2.

4.7. Connector J3 - Encoder rapid connection (fig. 30)

This input is designed for rapid connection of the Encoder
(optional). To fit the encoder on the motor, refer to the
relevant instructions.
The presence of the encoder is signalled - when the gearmotor
is running - by the flashing of the "Encoder" LED on the board.
When the encoder is used, the control unit knows the exact
position of the gate while it is moving.
The encoder controls the adjustments of some of the control
unit's functions in a different way (partial opening or
deceleration - see advanced programming in Par 5.2) and as
an anti-crushing device.
If the gate strikes an obstacle during opening or closing, the
encoder immediately reverses the gate leaf for 2 seconds. If
the encoder operates again during the 2 seconds reversing
time, it STOPS movement without commanding any reversing.

ENCODER:

If the encoder is used, you may select its
presence.
If the encoder is present and enabled,
"decelerations" and "partial opening" are
controlled by the encoder (see relevant
paragraphs).
The encoder operates as an anti-crushing
device: If the gate strikes an obstacle during
opening or closing, the encoder
immediately reverses gate leaf movement
for 2 seconds. If the encoder operates
again during the 2-seconds reversing time,
it stops movement (STOP) without
commanding any reversing. If no sensor is
supplied, the parameter must be set on

. If there is the encoder, adjust the
sensitivity of the anti-crushing system, by
varying the parameter between
(maximum sensitivity) and (minimum
sensitivity).

from to = Encoder active and
sensitivity adjustment

= Encoder disabled

Pre-limit switch DECELERATION:

You can select gate deceleration before
the opening and closing limit-switches have
been tripped.
Time can be adjusted from to in

0.04-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.

= Deceleration disabled
from to = Deceleration enabled

CLOSING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:

Select the tripping mode of the closing
photocells.
They operate for the closing movement only:
they stop movement and reverse it when
they are released, or they reverse it
immediately.

= Reverse on release

= Reverse immediately to opening

OPENING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:

Select the tripping mode of the opening
photocells.
They operate for the opening movement
only: they stop the movement and restart it
when they are released, or they reverse it
immediately.

= Reverse immediately to closing

= Restart movement on release

Post-limit switch DECELERATION:

You can select gate deceleration after the
opening and closing limit-switches have
been tripped.

Time can be adjusted from to in

0.02-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.

= Deceleration disabled
from to = Deceleration enabled

PARTIAL OPENING:

You can adjust the width of partial leaf
opening.
Time can be adjusted from to in
1-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater partial-opening precision.
For example, with pinion Z20, partial opening
can vary from about 60 cm to 4 m.

25

Display Function Default

WORK TIME (time-out):

We advise you to set a value of 5 to 10
seconds over the time taken by the gate to
travel from the closing limit-switch to the
opening limit-switch and vice versa.
Adjustable from to sec. in one­second steps.
Subsequently, display changes to minutes
and tens of seconds (separated by a point)
and time is adjusted in 10 second steps, up
to a maximum value of minutes.

Attention: the set value does not exactly
matchthe motor's maximum operating time,
because the latter is modified according to
the performed deceleration spaces.

ASSISTANCE REQUEST (combined with next
function):

If activated, at the end of countdown
(settable with the next function i.e. "Cycle
programming") it effects 2 sec. (in addition
to the value already set with the PF function)
of pre-flashing at every Open pulse (job
request). Can be useful for setting scheduled
maintenance jobs.

= Active

= Disabled

CYCLE PROGRAMMING:

For setting countdown of system operation
cycles. Settable (in thousands) from to

thousand cycles.
The displayed value is updated as cycles
proceed.
This function can be used to check use of the
board or to exploit the "Assistance request".

7. FINAL OPERATIONS

At end of programming, run a few complete cycles to check if the
automated system and the accessories connected to it are
operating correctly, giving special attention to safety devices,
operator thrust force adjustment, and to the anti-crushing device
(Encoder sensor, optional). Hand over the "User's guide" page (in
the operator instructions) to the customer, and describe how the
system works, as well as the operator release and locking operations
indicated in the said guide.

GATE STATUS:

Exit from programming, data saving, and return
to viewing gate status (see par. 5.1.).

NB.: modification of programming parameters comes into effect
immediately, whereas definitive memory storage occurs only when
you exit programming and return to gate status viewing. If the
equipment is powered down before return to status viewing, all
modifications will be lost.
To restore the default settings of the programming disconnect
terminal strip J1, press the three buttons +, -, F simultaneously and
keep them pressed for 5 seconds.

(1) If maintained, it prolongs the pause until disabled by the command (timer function) (3) During the partial opening cycle, an OPEN A pulse causes total opening.

(2) If a new pulse occurs within 2 seconds after reversing, it immediately stops operation. NB.: Effects on other active pulse inputs in brackets.

AUTOMATED SYSTEM 740-741

Read the instructions carefully before using the product and
keep them for future consultation.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES

If installed and used correctly, the 740-741 automated system will
ensure a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules regarding behaviour will avoid any accidental
trouble:

• Do not stand near the automated system and do not allow
children and other people or things to stand there, especially
while it is operating.

• Keep radiocontrols or any other pulse generator well away from
children to prevent the automated system from being activated
involuntarily.

• Do not allow children to play with the automated system.

• Do not willingly obstruct gate movement.

• Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with gate
movement.

• Keep light signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.

• Do not attempt to activate the gate by hand unless you have
released it.

• In the event of malfunctions, release the gate to allow access
and wait for qualified technical personnel to do the necessary
work.

• After enabling manual operation, switch off the power supply to
the system before restoring normal operation.

• Do not make any alterations to the components of the automated
system.

• Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatsoever
and contact qualified personnel only.

• Call in qualified personnel at least every 6 months to check the
efficiency of the automated system, safety devices and earth
connection.

DESCRIPTION

The 740-741 automated system is ideal for controlling vehicle access
areas of medium transit frequency.
The 740-741 automated system for sliding gates is an electro­mechanical operator transmitting motion to the sliding gate via a
rack pinion or chain appropriately coupled to the gate.
Operation of the sliding gate is controlled by an electronic control
unit housed inside the operator or in a hermetically sealed outdoor
enclosure.
When, with the gate closed, the unit receives an opening command
by radiocontrol or from another suitable device, it activates the
motor until the opening position is reached.
If automatic operation was set, the gate re-closes automatically
after the selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic operation was set, a second pulse must be
sent to close the gate again.
An opening pulse during re-closing, always causes movement to
be reversed.
A stop pulse (if provided) always stops movement.
The light signalling indicates that the gate is currently moving.
For details on sliding gate behaviour in different function logics,
consult the installation technician.
The automated systems include obstacle-detection and/or safety
devices (photocells, edges) that prevent the gate from closing when

there is an obstacle in the area they protect.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is not
operating and, therefore, it is not necessary to install any lock.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the release system.
The gearmotor does not have a mechanical clutch and, therefore, it
is coupled to a unit with an electronic clutch offering the necessary
anti-crushing safety if the system is completed with the necessary safety
devices.
A convenient manual release with customised key makes it possible
to move the gate in the event of a power failure or malfunction.

MANUAL OPERATION

Warning: Cut power to the system to prevent an involuntary pulse

from activating the gate during the release manoeuvre

To release the operator proceed as follows:

1) Insert the key provided and turn it clockwise as shown in Fig. 01
ref. 1 and 2.

2) Turn the release system clockwise, until the mechanical stop is
reached, Fig. 01 ref. 3.

3) Open and close the gate manually.

RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

Warning: Cut power to the system to prevent an involuntary pulse

from activating the gate during the manoeuvre for restoring
normal operation.

To restore normal operation proceed as follows:

1) Turn the release system anti-clockwise, until its stop is reached, Fig.
02 ref. 1.

2) Turn the key anti-clockwise and remove it from the lock, Fig. 02 ref.
2 and 3.

3) Move the gate until the release system meshes (corresponds to
gate locking).

4) Power up the system.

MAINTENANCE

To ensure trouble-free operation and a constant safety level, an overall
check of the system should be carried out every 6 months. A form for
recording routine maintenance operations is enclosed.

REPAIRS

For any repairs, contact the authorised Repair Centres.
