GENERAL DESCRIPTION

THIS OPERATOR IS NOT A FIRE ALARM SYSTEM. IT CAN NOT DETECT A FIRE CONDITION.

WARNING

The Fire Door Controller, FDCL, is an integrated fire door control system. It is designed to interface with normally close (NC) or normally open (NO) dry contact alarm system to control the operation of a fire door. Wiring for sensing device to reverse and auxiliary devices to open and close are provided. The control station is selectable between "Fire Door Mode Type I" and "Fire Door Mode Type II" by means of DIP SWITCH 2. When "Fire Door Mode Type 1" is selected the control station is the standard B2 wiring, momentary contact to open, close and stop. When "Fire Door Mode Type II" is selected the control station is a revised C2 wiring, momentary contact to open & stop and constant pressure to close with no open override. In addition, when "Fire Door Mode Type II" is selected, the door will Gravity Close (governed descent) on alarm.

"Fire Door Mode Type I" is described throughout this manual. Refer to the above exceptions when in "Fire Door Mode Type II" .

FUNCTIONAL OPERATION

1. Battery Management System

 The batteries are charged, tested, and monitored automatically by the microprocessor based system.  The batteries are tested under load every thirty days. If for any reason the batteries fail this load test,

the on board buzzer will sound for 3 seconds of every minute to indicate that the batteries need to be replaced. The load test will detect a catastrophic failure such as full loss of batteries when con

ducted with AC power present (customary situation).

 When in Battery Backup mode (loss of AC power), the battery voltage is continuously monitored. Low battery condition will be indicated by the on board buzzer sounding 3 seconds out of every minute, and the low battery indicator (located on the key test station) flashing, until the batteries come to the full charge or are replaced. The batteries must be present and at working voltage level (21V +) for this

function to work.

2. Unit has AC power & no alarm condition:

 The 3-button control station is used to operate the door electrically.  Activation of the safety edge while the door is closing will cause the door to reverse to the full open limit.  Activation of the safety edge while the door is opening will NOT effect operation, the door will continue

to the open limit.  Activating the key-test switch for at least 6 seconds will put the operator in alarm active mode. (see ACTIVE ALARM section for detail operation of alarm active mode)

3. Unit has AC power & active alarm condition (ALARM #1 - smoke alarm etc.):

 The unit will activate the OPTIONAL warning signal, the door will automatically close after the preset time delay (powered down by motor except in Fire Door Mode Type II). The time delay is set by means of DIPswitch 1.  If the door is in the open position and an alarm condition occurs, the door will automatically close under motor operation except in Fire Door Mode Type II. In the event the door should meet an obstruction while closing, it will reverse and return to the full open position, and then start the closing cycle (with delay and warning) again. If the obstruction is not removed, the door will close stopping at the lowest possible position holding the brake for 2 seconds, then releasing the door to GRAVITY CLOSE (controlled descent). If after the door has finished the cycling mode and obstruction has been removed, the door will proceed to the floor.  In the event of a failure in motor operation, the operator will gravity close (controlled descent).

NOTICE

WARNING

FUNCTIONAL OPERATION CONTINUED

4. Unit has AC power & active alarm condition (ALARM #2 - Fire Sensor, thermal sensor, fuse link.):

 The unit will activate the optional warning signal (siren/strobe), the door will automatically close after the

preset time delay. (powered down by motor except in Fire Door Mode Type II) The time delay is set by

means of DIP switch 1.

 If the door is in the open position and the alarm condition occurs, the door will automatically close under

motor operation (except in Fire Door Mode Type II). In the event the door should meet an obstruction while closing, the door will stop for 2 seconds, then release the door to Gravity Close (controlled descent). After the obstruction has been removed, the door will proceed to the floor.

 In the event of a failure in motor operation, the operator will gravity close (controlled descent)  All control station functions will be rendered inactive in this condition.  The safety edge will remain active.

5. Unit has No AC power & No active alarm condition:

 The Close and Stop buttons of the 3 button control station are functional.  The door's descending speed is controlled by the internal govenor.  The door will stop if an obstruction is encountered while closing.  Open button is not functional

6. Unit has No AC power & active alarm condition (Alarm #1 or Alarm #2):

 The unit will activate the OPTIONAL warning signal (siren/strobe), the door will automatically close after

the preset time delay. (controlled by internal govenor) The time delay is set by means of DIP switch 1.

 If the door encounters an obstruction while closing , the door will stop on the obstruction, and release the

brake after (2) seconds. If the obstruction is then removed the unit will perform an controlled drop of the door. (not powered down by the motor)

7. Activation of the internal Thermal Sensor:

 Will activate an alarm #2 switch.  With AC power present the unit will react as stated in paragraph 4.  With No AC power present the unit will react as stated in paragraph 6.

8. Activation of the Key Test Station:

 Key must be activated for 6 seconds  The unit will activate the OPTIONAL warning signal (siren/strobe), the door will automatically close after

the preset time delay. (controlled by internal govenor) The time delay is set by means of DIP switch 1. (to test the signal devices and the delay time)

 The door will close using gravity close mode (Controlled Descent) in order to test the door balance,

descent speed, and the moment of the door.

 All sensing devices and control devices will be active. (In order to test these devices) (See page 5 for

procedures)

Before beginning any testing, secure the door area, keep unauthorized personnel from entering the area during testing. Be sure ac power is present at the operator, (the green "AC" LED will be lighted on the operators control board) and that the batteries are connected and fully charged. (the red "DC" LED will NOT be lighted on the operators control board)

1. Begin the test with your door at the full "OPEN" position.

2. If your door is equipped with safety photo eyes, make certain dip switch #4 is in the "ON" position.

Note: If 2 minutes total time elapses from the beginning of step #11and the conclusion of step #15, the unit will automatically exit the "TEST" mode. To re-enter the "TEST" mode repeat step #4, and continue testing.

3. Turn the wall mounted key test switch to the "TEST" position and hold for a minimum of 6 seconds. This action simulates an “ALARM” signal.

4. If dip switch #1 is in the "ON" position, the door should begin to close immediately. If dip switch #1 is in the "OFF" position, the door should begin to close after 10 seconds time has elapsed. (the door will not motor down, it will gravity descend)

5. Using a "stop-watch" verify that your door is closing between 6" and 24" per second. (i.e.. A 10ft high door should close in a time between 5 and 20 seconds.) Your door should now be fully closed.

6. Open the door by depressing the "OPEN" button on the three button control station.

7. Repeat step #3.

8. When the door is approximately 3 to4 feet from the floor, activate the doors safety edge,(if so equipped) using a crate, skid or alike. Do not introduce any part of your body to the door system during testing. The door should reverse to the full open position. Remove the obstruction.

9. The door will begin to close within 1 sec., If dip switch #1 is in the "ON" position. If dip switch # 1 is in the "OFF" position, the door will wait 10 sec. Before beginning to close. The door should fully close to the floor. (the door will not motor down, it will gravity descend)

10. Repeat steps #7 and #8.

11. When the door is approximately ½ way to the floor, interrupt the safety photo eye beam,(if so equipped) by blocking with a piece of cardboard or alike. Do not introduce any part of your body to the door system during test ing. The door should reverse to the full open position.Remove the obstruction.

12. Step #10 repeats.

13. When the door is approximately ½ way to the floor, depress and hold the "STOP" button on the three button control station. The door should stop.

14. Release the "STOP" button on the control station. Step #10 repeats.

15. Depress the "OPEN" button on the three button control station. The door should open to the full open position. The unit is now ready to be returned to service.

DOOR SYSTEM TESTING PROCEDURES

Wall Mounting

The operator should generally be installed below the door shaft, and as close to the door as possible. The optimum distance between the door shaft and operator drive shaft is between 12” - 15”. Refer to Figure 2.

OPERATOR MOUNTING

Bracket or Shelf Mounting

The operator may be mounted either above or below the door shaft. The optimum distance between the door shaft and operator drive shaft is between 12” - 15”. Refer to Figure 1.

Before your operator is installed, be sure the door has been properly aligned and is working smoothly. The operator may be wall mounted or mounted on a bracket or shelf. Refer to the illustration and instructions below that suits your application. This motor operator is an integral part of the door system. The motor operator, controls door descent speed under power outage conditions, therefore the motor operator mounting surface is of major importance. The mounting must provide the following:

- All surfaces should be flat, square, and parallel to the door shaft

- The mounting surface must be rigid, and braced off as required

- When wall mounting the motor operator, it should be through bolted to the wall

- All (4) motor operator mounting points MUST be used

- All mounting hardware should be a minimum of grade 5

Alarm Inputs:

Alarm Input #1:

Used for electronic alarm devices such as smoke detection devices or similar alarm systems. Devices may be N/O or N/C. Switchable using DIP Switch #3. This alarm will activate a motored closure of the door (except in Fire Door Mode Type II), and all sensing and control devices will remain active. It is imperative that the alarm signal contact is maintained for a time period greater than the alarm delay to close setting. I.E. If dip switch #1 is in the “OFF” position (10 seconds) the alarm system must supply a “DRY” contact signal to terminals J2-11 & J2-12 for a minimum of 12 seconds.

Alarm Input #2:

Used for the thermal sensors (electronic fusible links), fuse link kit or similar systems. (N.C. state only) This alarm condition will activate a motored closure of the door (except in Fire Door Mode Type II), and all sensing devices and control stations will be rendered inactive. EXCEPT THE SAFETY EDGE. This alarm will override any other alarm condition or input.
