2.1 Applications

The SL1 or SL10 are a set of components designed for the automation of a sliding gate in residential applications.

Any applications other than those described above or under different conditions from those specified in this manual are forbidden.

SL1 and SL10 are electrically operated. In the event of a power failure, the gearmotor can be released using a suitable key in order to move the gate manually. Alternatively, the PR1 buffer battery (optional accessory) can be used.

Instructions SL1 - SL10 5

SL1 and SL10 consist of the devices shown in figure 2; make immediately sure that they correspond to the contents of the package and verify the integrity of the devices.

Note: to adapt SL1 and SL10 to local regulations, the contents of the package may vary; an exact list of the contents is shown on the outside of the package under the “Mhousekit SL1 contains” or “Mhousekit SL10 contains” heading.

2.3 Description of devices

A) 1 SL1K or SL10K electromechanical gear-

motor with incorporated control unit and foundation plate.

B) 3 release keys.

C) 1 pair of PH1 photocells (consisting of a

TX and an RX).

D) 2 TX4 radio transmitters.

E) FL1 flashing light with incorporated aerial.

F) 1 KS1 key-operated selector switch and

two keys.

G) 2 limit switch brackets

H) Miscellaneous small parts: screws, screw

anchors, etc. (see tables 1,2,3,4).

SL1 and SL10 are electromechanical gearmotors consisting of a helical teeth reduction gear and 24Vdc motor. It features a key-operated mechanical release mechanism that allows you to move the gate manually in the event of a power failure.

The gearmotor is fixed to the ground at the side of the gate with the relative foundation plate and operates the gate with a rack and pinion system.

The control unit actuates the gearmotors and provides for the control and supply of the different components; it features an electronic board with incorporated radio receiver.

SL1K and SL10K are equipped with an optional PR1 buffer battery compartment [C], which is necessary for operation in case of power failure.

The control unit can actuate the gearmotor with two speeds: "slow" and "fast".

The three P1, P2 and P3 buttons [B] and the corresponding LED's are used to program the control unit.

The yellow button allows the gate to be controlled locally during testing.

To facilitate the electrical connections there are separate terminals for each device [A], which are removable and colour-coded based on the function performed. Next to each input terminal there is a LED that signals its status.

The connection to the power supply is very easy: just insert the plug in a power outlet.

2.3.3 PH1 photocells

The pair of PH1 wall-mounted photocells, once they are connected to the control unit, enable the detection of obstacles found on the optical axis between the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX).

2.3.4 KS1 Key-Operated Selector Switch

The KS1 key-operated two-position selector switch enables gate control without using the radio transmitter. It is equipped with internal light for locating in the dark.

There are two commands, which depend on the direction of rotation of the key: "OPEN" and "STOP"; then the key, which is spring loaded, returns to the centre position.

Figure 6

2.3.5 FL1 flashing light with incorporated aerial

The flashing light is controlled by the control unit and signals danger when the gate is moving. Inside the flashing light there is also the aerial for the radio receiver.

Figure 7

2.3.6 TX4 Radio Transmitters

The radio transmitters are used for the remote control of the gate opening and closing manoeuvres. They feature four buttons that can all be used for the 4 types of command to a single automation unit, or to control up to 4 different automation units.

The transmission of the command is confirmed by the LED [A]; an eyelet [B] allows them to be hung on a keyring.

SL1 and SL10 must not be used to power a gate that is not efficient and safe and cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the gate.

Before proceeding with the installation you must:

• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the gate fall within the specified operating limits. If they do not, SL1 and SL10 cannot be used.

• Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation and in compliance with regulations in force.

• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or closing travel of the gate.

• Make sure there is no danger of the gate derailing.

• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough and that there is no risk of the gate derailing out of the ground guide even when it hits the mechanical stop violently.

• Make sure that the gate is well balanced: it must not move by itself when it is placed in any position.

• Make sure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the ground.

• Make sure that the installation area is compatible with the size of the gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it.

• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices are protected from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently sturdy.

• Make sure that the mounting surfaces of the photocells are flat and that they enable the proper alignment between TX and RX.

• Make sure there is a suitable fixing surface at the points where

the rack is fixed to the gate. For the CR100 rack, see figure 10.

• Both with the gearmotor mounted to the left "LT" and to the

right "RT", the distances indicated in figure 11 (gate without rack) or figure 12 (gate with rack) must be respected.

Figure 14

Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data needed to determine whether all the SL1 or SL10 components are suitable for the intended application.

In general, SL1 is suitable for the automation of gates up to 5 m long, weighing up to 350 kg for residential applications; SL10 is suitable for the automation of gates up to 7 m in length and 500 Kg in weight for residential application.

The shape of the gate and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of strong wind) may reduce these maximum limits. In this case it is necessary to measure the torque needed to move the gate under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the SL1K and SL10K gearmotors.

Instructions SL1 - SL10 9

3.1.3 List of cables

The cables required for the installation of SL1 and SL10 may vary depending on the type and quantity of devices to be installed; figure 17 shows the cables needed for a typical installation; cables are not supplied with SL1 and SL10.

Figure 17

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System

WARNING: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation; for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor applications, while H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.

B C DC E

3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains

Table 5: List of cables

Connection Cable type Maximum length allowed

[A] STOP input 2x0,5mm2cable 20m (note 2)

[B] OPEN input 2x0,5mm2cable 20m (note 2)

[C] ECSBus input/output 2x0,5mm2cable 20m (note 2)

[E] Radio aerial RG58 type shielded cable 20m(recommended less than 5m)

[F] Power supply line 3x1.5mm2cable 30m (note 1)

Note 1 A power supply cable longer than 30 m may be used provided it has a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2.5mm2, and that a safety grounding system is provided near the automation unit.

Note 2 For the ESCbus, STOP and OPEN cables, there are no special contraindications to the use of a single cable that groups together multiple connections; for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS1 selector switch using a single 4x0,5mm

cable.

With the exception of the power line, the rest of the system uses extralow voltage (approx. 24V); the wiring can therefore be done by personnel that is not properly qualified, provided that all the instructions in this manual are carefully observed. After selecting the position of the various devices (refer to figure 1) you can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the devices to the control unit.

The conduits are designed to protect the electrical cables and prevent accidental breakage, which may be caused by the passage of vehicles, for instance.

Although the connection of SL1 and SL10 to the mains power supply is beyond the scope of this manual, we wish to remind you that:

• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified professional electrician.

• The power supply line must be protected from short circuits and ground leakage; a bipolar disconnection device must also be present with contact separation of at least 3 mm, which allows

the power supply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of the SL1 and SL10 (the plug with outlet are suitable for this purpose).

10 Instructions SL1 - SL10

1 Dig the foundations according to the "Preliminary checks" paragraph and in particular the distances indicated in figure 11 on page 10.

2 Lay the conduits for the power cables leaving them 30-50 cm longer.

3 Fit the two bent pins [B] into the foundation plate and fix them above and below with two M8 nuts [A]; make sure the projecting part does not exceed the maximum height indicated in the figure.

4 Position the foundation plate making sure that the grooved side (indicating the position of the pinion) faces the gate observing the distances shown in figure 11.

5 Fit the conduits through the hole in the foundation plate.

6 Pour the concrete.

7 Sink the plate into the concrete and make sure it is perfectly level.

8 When the concrete is dry enough (after a few days), unscrew the two nuts over the plate as they which will no longer be used.

9 Cut the cable conduits approximately 3-4cm above the plate.

10 Remove the nut cover on the gearmotor.

3.3 Installation of the Various Devices

3.3.1 Mounting on gates without rack

Figure 18

The SL1K and SL10K gearmotors can be mounted in the two different situations:

A) Mounting on a gate without rack (paragraph 3.3.1 ); in this case the gearmotor must be installed first, followed by the CR100 rack.

B) Mounting on a gate with rack (paragraph 3.3.2 ); in this case the gearmotor must be adapted to the existing rack.

Figure 19

Figure 20

Figure 21

11 Place the gearmotor on the foundation plate, make sure it is perfectly parallel with the gate and fix it with two self-locking nuts [C] and washers [D]. Thoroughly tighten the two nuts.

12 Release the gearmotor using the appropriate release keys (see the "Gearmotor release" paragraph on page 36).

13 Fully open the gate and place the first piece of the rack on the pinion so that it projects from the axis of the pinion by the distance indicated in figure 13 or figure 14, that is, the space required for the limit switch brackets.

14 To keep the rack level with the pinion, mark the hole for fixing when the slot matches the axis of the pinion. Repeat this operation for each fixing point.

15 Leave a play of 1 mm between the rack and the pinion so that the gate does not weigh on the gearmotor.

16 Mount the other pieces of the rack and align them one after the other with a play of 1 mm on the pinion.

17 After fixing the last piece, cut away the projecting part of the rack with a hacksaw if necessary.

18 Open and close the gate several times by hand and make sure that the rack is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5mm.

19 Fix the two limit switch brackets with the relative dowels [E] to the outer sides of the rack. Consider that the gate will slide for about another 2-3 cm after the limit switch cuts in. The brackets should be positioned at a sufficient distance from the mechanical stops in order to prevent the gate from jamming.

20 To electrically connect the various devices, see paragraph 3.3.6 "Electrical Connections" on page 15.

2 Lay the conduits for the power cables leaving them 30-50 cm longer.

Figure 26

12 Instructions SL1 - SL10

3 Fit the two bent pins [B] into the foundation plate and fix them above and below with two M8 nuts [A]; make sure the projecting part does not exceed the maximum height indicated in figure 27.

4 Position the foundation plate making sure that the grooved side (indicating the position of the pinion) faces the gate observing the distances shown in figure 11.

5 Fit the conduits through the hole in the foundation plate.

6 Pour the concrete.

7 Make sure the plate is sunk into the concrete and that it is perfectly level.

8 When the concrete is dry enough (after a few days), unscrew the two nuts over the plate which will no longer be used.

9 Cut the cable conduits approximately 3-4cm above the plate.

10 Remove the nut cover on the gearmotor.

11 Fit the gearmotor to the foundation plate underneath the rack. This operation can be simplified by tilting the gearmotor so that the pinion can easily pass under the rack. Tighten the two self-locking nuts [C] a little after fitting the washers [D].

12 If necessary, adjust the height of the gearmotor (Max. 10mm) with the 4 dowels so that there is at least 1mm of play between the rack and the pinion so that the gate does not weigh on the gearmotor. It is better to fix the gearmotor without dowels as it will lie more firmly and securely on the plate.

13 Make sure the gearmotor lies perfectly parallel with the gate. Then fix it to the foundation plate and fully tighten the two self-locking nuts [C].

14 Release the gearmotor using the appropriate release keys (see the "Gearmotor release" paragraph on page 36).

15 Open and close the gate several times by hand and make sure that the rack is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5mm.

16 Fix the two limit switch brackets with the relative dowels [E] to the outer sides of the rack. Consider that the gate will slide for about another 30mm after the limit switch cuts in. Position the brackets so that the gate does not jam.

• The terminals have the same colour coding as the corresponding devices; for example, the grey terminal (OPEN) of the KS1 selector must be connected to the grey terminal (OPEN) of the control unit.

• For most connections you do not need to observe any polarity; only

for the shielded cable of the aerial it is necessary to connect the central core and the shield as shown in detail [A].

The terminals can be removed in order to facilitate the operations [A] as shown in figure 55; make the connections and then reinsert them.

When you have completed the connections, use clamps to secure the cables to the appropriate fasteners [B].

3.4 Power Supply Connection

3.5 Initial checks

To carry out tests, insert the plug of the gearmotor in a power supply socket, using an extension lead if necessary.

The gearmotor must be permanently connected to the mains power supply for the testing and commissioning operations.

This operation must be performed as follows by a qualified electrician: 1 Make sure that the plug of the gearmotor is not plugged-in to the power socket. 2 Disconnect the power cable from the gearmotor power supply terminal 3 Slacken the collar beneath the terminal and remove the cable. 4 Insert the final power supply cable of the gearmotor through the collar. 5 Connect the cable to the terminal of the gearmotor. 6 Tighten the collar.

As soon as the control unit is energized, you should check the following:

1 Make sure that the "ECSBus" LED [A] flashes regularly, with about one flash per second.

2 Make sure that the SAFE LED [B] on the photocells flashes (both on TX and RX); the type of flashing is not important as it depends on other factors; what is important is that the LED should not be steadily on or steadily off.

3 Make sure that the night light [C] on the KS1 key-operated selector switch is on.

4 If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the cable connections more carefully. For more useful information see also chapters 5.5 "Troubleshooting" and 5.6 "Diagnostics and Signals".

3.5.1 Recognition of Connected Devices

When you have completed the initial checks, the control unit must recognize the devices connected to it on the "ECSBus" and "STOP" terminals.

1 On the control unit, press the P2 button [C] and hold it down for at least three seconds, then release the button.

2 Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices.

3 When the recognition procedure is completed, the STOP LED [A] must remain on, while the P2 LED [B] must go off. If the P2 LED flashes it means that an error has occurred: see paragraph 5.5 "Troubleshooting".

The connected devices recognition stage can be repeated again at any time, even after the installation (for example, if an additional photocell is installed); just repeat the procedure starting from step 1.

Figure 62

Figure 57 Figure 58

18 Instructions SL1 - SL10

3.5.3 Checking the Radio Transmitters

After recognizing the devices, the control unit must recognize the length of the gate. During this stage, the length of the gate is measured from the closing limit switch to the opening limit switch. This measurement is required to calculate the deceleration points and the partial opening point.

1 Release the gearmotor using the appropriate keys, see the "Gearmotor Release" paragraph on page 36, and move the gate to mid travel so that it is free to move in both opening and closing directions; then lock the gearmotor.

2 On the control unit press and release the OPEN button [A].

Wait for the control unit to open the gate until it reaches the opening limit switch.

• If the movement is not an opening manoeuvre, press the button again

to stop the manoeuvre and invert the position of the jumper (see figure 50 or 51) on page 15. Then repeat point 2.

3 On the control unit press and release the OPEN button [A].

Wait for the control unit to close the gate until it reaches the closing limit switch.

4 Perform several opening and closing manoeuvres making sure that the gate reaches the limit switch and stops at least 2-3 centimetres before the mechanical stops.

3.5.2 Checking gate movements

To check the transmitters just press one of the four buttons, make sure that the red LED flashes and that the automation executes the command.

The command associated to each button depends on how they have been memorized (see paragraph 5.4 "Memorization of Radio Transmitters"). The transmitters supplied have already been memorized and when you press the buttons the following commands are transmitted:

3.6 Regulations

3.6.1 Selecting gate speed

The gate can be opened and closed at two speeds: "slow" or "fast".

To switch from one speed to the other press the P2 button [B] momentarily; the corresponding P2 LED [A] will light up or go off; if the LED is off the speed is "slow", if the LED is on the speed is "fast".

Instructions SL1 - SL10 19

1 Make sure that the provisions contained in chapter 1 "WARNINGS" have been carefully observed.

2 Using the selector switch or the radio transmitter, test the opening and closing of the gate and make sure that the leaves move in the intended direction. The test should be carried out a number of times to make sure that the gate moves smoothly, that there are no points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the assembly or adjustments.

3 Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.). In particular, each time a device is activated the "ECSBus" LED on the control unit flashes for a longer time, confirming that the control unit recognizes the event.

4 To check the photocells and make sure that there is no interference with other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylinder on the optical axis, first near TX, then near RX and finally at the mid-point between them and make sure that in all these cases the device is triggered, switching from the active to the alarm status and vice-versa; finally, that it causes the intended action in the control unit, for example that it causes the reversal of the movement during the closing manoeuvre.

5 Measure the impact force according to EN 12445 standard. If "motor force" control is used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.

3.6.2 Selecting the Type of Operating Cycle

The opening and closing of the gate can take place according to different operating cycles:

•Single cycle (semiautomatic): the gate opens with a command and stays open until the next command is given, causing it to close.

•Complete cycle (automatic closing): the gate opens with a command and then closes automatically after a short time (for the time, see paragraph 5.1.1 "Adjusting the Parameters with the Radio Transmitter").

o switch from one operating cycle to the other, press the P3 button [B] momentarily; the corresponding LED [A] will light up or go off; if the LED is off the cycle is "single", if the LED is on the cycle is "complete".

Figure 66

3.7 Testing and Commissioning

These are the most important operations, designed to guarantee the maximum safety and reliability of the automation system.

The testing procedure can also be used as a periodic check of the devices that make up the automation.

The testing and commissioning operations must be performed by qualified and experienced personnel who must establish what tests should be conducted based on the risks involved, and verify the compliance of the system with applicable regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with all the provisions of EN 12445 standard which establishes the test methods for gate automation systems.

3.7.1 Testing

3.7.2 Commissioning

Figure 67

The commissioning operations can be performed only after all the tests have been successfully carried out. Partial commissioning or implementation of "temporary" conditions are not permitted.

1 Prepare the technical documentation for the automation, which must include at least: assembly drawing (e.g. figure 1), wiring diagram (e.g. figure 17), analysis of hazards and solutions adopted, manufacturer's declaration of conformity of all the devices installed. Use enclosure “EC Declaration of conformity of the SL1 and SL10 components” for SL1 and SL10.

2 Post a label on the gate providing at least the following data: type of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person responsible for the "commissioning"), serial number, year of manufacture and "CE" marking.

3 Fill out the declaration of conformity and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; for this purpose you can use Annexe 2 "EC Declaration of Conformity".

4 Prepare the operating guide and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; Annexe 3 "OPERATING GUIDE" can be used as an example.

5 Prepare the maintenance schedule and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; it must provide directions regarding the maintenance of all the automation devices.

6 Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing.

20 Instructions SL1 - SL10

The maintenance operations must be performed in strict compliance with the safety directions provided in this manual and according to the applicable legislation and standards.

SL1 and SL10 automation devices do not require any particular maintenance operations; nevertheless, the perfect efficiency of all devices should be periodically checked at least every six months.

To this end, carry out all the tests and checks described in paragraph

3.7.1 "Testing" and the operations described in paragraph 7.3.3

"Maintenance Operations to Be Performed by the User".

If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the corresponding maintenance schedule.

4 Maintenance

4.1 Dismantling and Disposal

SL1 and SL10 are constructed of various types of materials, some of which can be recycled (aluminium, plastic, electric cables), while others must be disposed of (electronic boards).

WARNING: some electronic components may contain polluting substances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the recycling or disposal systems available for SL1 and SL10 in compliance with regulations locally in force.

1 Contact a qualified electrician regarding the disconnection of the automation system from the electric mains.

2 Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse order the procedures described in chapter 3 "Installation".

3 Remove the batteries from the radio transmitters.

4 Remove the electronic boards.

5 Sort the various electrical and recyclable materials and consign them to licensed firms for recovery and disposal.

6 Consign the remaining materials to authorized scrap collection centres.

Instructions SL1 - SL10 21

The radio transmitter can be used to adjust certain control unit operation parameters: there are four parameters and each of them can have four different values:

1) Pause time: time during which the leaves remain open (in the automatic closing mode).

2) Pedestrian gate: pedestrian gate opening mode.

3) Motor force: maximum force beyond which the control unit recognizes

an obstacle and reverses the movement.

4) "OPEN" function: sequence of movements associated to each

"OPEN" command.

The following chapters describe different ways of customizing SL1 and SL10 to make it suitable for specific application requirements.

The parameter adjustment operation can be performed using any of the radio transmitters, provided they are memorized in mode 1 like the ones supplied (see paragraph 5.4.1 "Mode 1 memorization").

In the event that no transmitter memorized in Mode 1 is available, it is possible to memorize one just for this stage and delete it immediately afterwards (see paragraph 5.4.4 "Deleting a radio transmitter").

WARNING: when using the transmitter to make adjustments you need to give the control unit time to recognize the radio command; this means that the buttons must be pressed and released slowly, held down for at least one second, then released for one second and so on.

1 Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at least 5s

2 Release the two buttons.

3 Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 6 based on the parameter to be modified.

Esempio: to set the pause time at 40 s.

1° Press buttons T1 and T2 and hold them down for at least 5s 2° Release T1 and T2 3° Press button T1 three times

All the parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindication; only the adjustment of the "motor force" requires special care:

• Do not use high force values to compensate for points of abnormal

friction on the gate. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the safety system or damage the gate.

• If the "motor force" control is used to assist the impact force reduction

system, measure the force again after each adjustment in compliance with EN 12445 standard.

• The weather conditions may affect the movement of the gate, therefore

periodic re-adjustments may be necessary.

Figure 68

22 Instructions SL1 - SL10

With a radio transmitter memorized in mode 1, the adjustment values for each parameter can be checked at any time using the following sequence:

1Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at least 5s.

2 Release the two buttons.

3 Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 7 based on the parameter to be checked.

4 Release the button when the flashing light starts flashing

5 Count the flashes and, based on their number, check the corresponding value in table 6.

Example: If the flashing light flashes three times after you have pressed T1 and T2 for 5s and then button T1, the pause time is set at 40s.

5.2 Optional Accessories

In addition to the devices featured in SL1 and SL10, other ones are available as optional accessories designed to enhance the automation system.

PR1: 24V buffer battery for supply in the event of power failure. It guarantees at least 10 complete cycles. When the system is powered by the battery, the manoeuvre takes place only in "slow" speed mode.

PT50: Pair of 500 mm posts with one photocell.

PT100: Pair of 1000 mm posts with two photocells.

For information on the new accessories, refer to the MHOUSE catalogue or visit the site www.mhouse.biz.

5.3 Adding or Removing Devices

Devices can be added or removed from an SL1 and SL10 automation system at any time.

Do not add any devices until you have made sure that they are perfectly compatible with SL1 and SL10; for further information contact MHOUSE Customer Service.

5.3.1 ECSBus

ECSBus is a system that allows you to connect the ECSBus devices using only two wires which carry both the power supply and the communication signals. All the devices are connected in parallel on the 2 wires of the ECSBus itself; each device is individually recognized because a univocal address is assigned to it during the installation.

The photocells, as well as other devices that adopt this system, can be connected to ECSBus, such as safety devices, control buttons, signalling lights etc. For information on the ECSBus devices, refer to the MHOUSE catalogue or visit the site www.mhouse.biz.

The control unit recognizes all the connected devices individually through a suitable recognition process, and can detect all the possible abnormalities with absolute precision. For this reason, each time a device connected to ECSBus is added or removed the control unit must go through the recognition process; see paragraph 5.3.3 "Recognition of Other Devices".

5.3.2 STOP Input

STOP is the input that causes the immediate interruption of the manoeuvre (with a short reverse run). Devices with output featuring normally open "NO" contacts (like the KS1 selector switch) and devices with normally closed "NC" contacts, as well as devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance output, like sensitive edges, can be connected to this input. Multiple devices, even of different type, can be connected to the STOP input if suitable arrangements are made.

To do this, proceed as described in the following table:

Note 1. The NO and NC combination can be obtained by placing the two contacts in parallel, and placing in series to the NC contact an

8.2K

Ω resistance (therefore, the combination of 3 devices is also

possible: NO, NC and 8.2KΩ).

Note 2. Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in parallel.

Nota 3. Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in series.

Nota 4. Only two devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance output can be connected in parallel; if needed, multiple devices must be connected "in cascade" with a single 8.2KΩ termination resistance.

Warning: if the STOP input is used to connect devices with safety functions, only the devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance output guarantee the fail-safe category 3.

During the recognition stage the control unit, like ECSBus, recognizes the type of device connected to the STOP input; subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognized status.

Instructions SL1 - SL10 23

Normally the recognition of the devices connected to the ECSBus and the STOP input takes place during the installation stage. However, if new devices are added or old ones removed, the recognition process can be gone through again by proceeding as follows:

1 On the control unit, press the P2 [B] button and hold it down for at least five seconds, then release it.

2 Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognizing the devices.

3 When the recognition stage is completed the P2 LED [A] should go off. If the P2 LED flashes it means that an error has occurred: see paragraph

5.5 "Troubleshooting".

4 After you have added or removed any devices, the automation system must be tested again according to the directions contained in paragraph

3.7.1 "Testing".

5.3.3 Recognition of Other Devices

Figure 69

5.3.4 Addition of Optional Photocells

Table 9

Additional photocells can be installed at any time in addition to those supplied with SL1 and SL10. In an automation system for sliding gates these can be arranged as shown in figure 70.

To ensure the correct recognition of the photocells by the control unit, the former must be assigned addresses by means of jumpers. The address allocation procedure must be performed on TX as well as RX (arranging the jumpers in the same manner), but you must make sure that there are no other pairs of photocells having the same address.

The photocells need to be assigned addresses to make sure that they are correctly recognized among the other ECSBus devices, and in order to assign the performed function.

External photocell h=50cm; activated when gate closes

External photocell activated when gate opens

Internal photocell activated when gate opens

24 Instructions SL1 - SL10

A new radio transmitter can be memorized in the control unit without directly operating the buttons on it. You need to have an "OLD" prememorized operational radio transmitter. The "NEW" radio transmitter to be memorized will inherit the characteristics of the OLD one, i.e. if the OLD radio transmitter was memorized in Mode 1, the NEW one will also be memorized in Mode 1. In this case, during the memorization stage you can press any key on the two transmitters. If, on the other hand, the OLD transmitter was memorized in Mode 2 you must press the button on the OLD transmitter which corresponds to the desired command, and the button on the NEW transmitter to which you wish to associate that command.

Holding the two transmitters, position yourself within the operating range of the automation and perform the following operations:

1 Press the button on the NEW radio transmitter and hold it down for at least 5s, then release it.

2 Press the button on the OLD radio transmitter 3 times slowly.

3 Press the button on the NEW radio transmitter once slowly.

At this point the NEW radio transmitter will be recognized by the control unit and will assume the characteristics of the OLD one.

If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat all the steps above for each new transmitter.

5.4.3 "Remote" Memorization

1 Open the shell of the photocell.

2 Identify the position where they are installed based on figure 70 and connect with jumper according to Table 9.

The unused jumpers must be stored in their proper compartment for future use.

3 Perform the recognition stage as explained in paragraph 5.3.3 "Recognition of other devices".

Figure 71

The control unit contains a radio receiver for TX4 transmitters; those included in the package are pre-memorized and operative.

If you wish to memorize a new radio transmitter you have two choices:

• Mode 1: in this “mode” the radio transmitter is used to its full extent, i.e. all the buttons execute a pre-established command (the transmitters supplied with SL1 and SL10 are memorized in Mode 1). It is obvious that in Mode 1 a radio transmitter can be used to command a single automation, i.e.:

• Mode 2: one of the four commands available can be associated to each button. This mode, used properly, allows you to command 2 or more different automations; for example:

Each transmitter is, of course, a separate unit, and while some are memorized in mode 1 others can be memorized in mode 2 on the control unit.

The overall memory capacity is 150 units; memorization in mode 1 takes up one unit for each transmitter while mode 2 takes up one unit for each button.

Warning: since the memorization procedures are timed (10s), you must read the instructions in the following paragraphs before you proceed with their execution.

T1 button "OPEN" command

T2 button "Pedestrian gate" command

T3 button "Open only" command

T4 button "Close only" command

5.4 Memorization of Radio Transmitters

5.4.1 Memorization Mode 1

1 Press button P1 [B] for at least 3s. When the P1 LED [A] lights up, release the button.

2 Within 10s, press any button on the radio transmitter to be memorized and hold it down for at least 3s.

If the memorization procedure is successful, the "P1" LED will flash 3 times.

3 If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat step 2 within the next 10s, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate automatically.

Figure 72

5.4.2 Memorization Mode 2

With the memorization in mode 2 of the radio transmitter, any one of the four commands ("OPEN", "Open partially", "Open only" and "Close only") can be associated to each button. In Mode 2 each button requires a separate memorization stage.

1 If the transmitter to be memorised is already memorised (this is when the transmitters that are supplied have already been memorised in Mode

1), it must firstly be deleted by following the procedure in “5.4.4 Deleting a radio transmitter".

2 Press button P1 (figure 72) on the control unit as many times as the number corresponding to the desired command, according to the following table, (e.g. 3 times for the "Open only" command):

3 Make sure that the P1 LED makes as many quick flashes as the number corresponding to the selected command.

4 Within 10 s, press the desired button on the radio transmitter to be memorized, and hold it down for at least 2 s.

If the memorization procedure is successful, the "P1" LED will flash 3 times slowly.

5 If there are other transmitters to be memorized for the same type of command, repeat step 3 within the next 10s, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate automatically.

1 time "OPEN" command

2 times "Pedestrian gate" command

3 times "Open only" command

4 times "Close only" command

Instructions SL1 - SL10 25

5.4.5 Deleting all the Radio Transmitters

With this operation all the memorized transmitters are deleted.

1 Press the P1 button [B] on the control unit and hold it down.

2 Wait until the P1 LED [A] lights up, then wait until it goes off, then wait until it has flashed 3 times.

3 Release the P1 button precisely upon the third flash.

4 Wait approximately 4s for the deletion process to be completed; during this time the LED will flash very quickly.

If the procedure is successful, after a few moments the "P1" LED will flash slowly 5 times.

Figure 73

5.5 Troubleshooting

The following table contains instructions to help you solve malfunctions or errors that may occur during the installation stage or in case of failure.

Table 10

Symptoms Probable cause and possible solution

The radio transmitter does not emit any signal (the LED [A] does not light up)

• Check to see if the batteries are exhausted, if necessary replace them (page 36)

The manoeuvre does not start and the "ECSBbus" LED [B] does not flash

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the mains outlet

• Check to see if the fuses [E] or [F] are blown; if necessary, identify the reason for the failure and then replace the fuses with others having the same current rating and characteristics.

The manoeuvre does not start and the flashing light is off

• Make sure that the command is actually received. If the command reaches the OPEN input, the corresponding "OPEN" LED [D] must light up; if you are using the radio transmitter, the "ECSBus" LED must make two long flashes.

The manoeuvre does not start and the flashing light flashes a few times

• Make sure that the STOP input is active, i.e. that the "STOP" LED [C] comes on. If this does not happen, check the devices connected to the STOP input.

• The photocell test which is performed at the starting of each manoeuvre is not successful; check the photocells, also according to Table 11 on page 27.

The manoeuvre starts but it is immediately followed by a reverse run

• The selected force is too low to move the gate. Check to see whether there are any obstacles; if necessary increase the force as described on page 21.

The manoeuvre is carried out but the flashing light does not work

• Make sure that there is voltage on the flashing light's FLASH terminal during the manoeuvre (being intermittent, the voltage value is not important: approximately 10-30Vac); if there is voltage, the problem is due to the lamp; in this case replace the lamp with one having the same characteristics.

Figure 74

5.4.4 Deleting a Radio Transmitter

If a radio transmitter is available, this operation allows you to delete it.

If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 1, a single deletion stage is sufficient: just press any button at point 3. If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 2, one deletion stage is needed for each memorized button.

1 Press and hold down button P1 [B] (Figure 72) on the control unit.

2 Wait until the P1 LED [A] lights up, then, within three seconds:

3 Press and hold down for at least three seconds the button of the radio transmitter to be deleted.If the radio transmitter has been deleted, the P1 LED will flash quickly five times. If the LED flashes slowly just once, it means that the deletion has not taken place because the transmitter is not memorized

4 If there are more transmitters to be deleted, repeat step 3 within ten seconds while pressing button P1, otherwise the deletion stage will terminate automatically.

Instructions SL1 - SL10 35

• Keep at a safe distance while the gate is moving; do not pass through until the gate has opened all the way and has stopped moving.

• Do not allow children to play near the gate or with its controls.

• Stop using the automation system immediately if you notice anything abnormal (strange noise or jerky movements); failure to observe this warning may result in serious danger and accidents.

• Do not touch any components while they are moving.

• Have periodic checks made according to the instructions provided in the maintenance schedule.

• Maintenance operations and repairs can only be performed by qualified technicians.

This guide should be stored in an accessible location and made available to all users of the automation.

7.3 Annexe 3: Operating Guide

7.3.1 Safety regulations

With radio transmitter

The radio transmitter is ready for use and the four buttons have the following functions:

With selector switch

The selector switch has two positions, with automatic return to the centre.

Control with safety devices out of order

If the safety devices are out of order or malfunctioning, it is still possible to control the gate.

1 Operate the gate control device (remote control or key-operated selector switch). If the safety devices enable the operation, the gate will open normally, otherwise:

2 The flashing light flashes a few times but the manoeuvre does not start (the number of flashes depends on the reason why the manoeuvre is not enabled).

3 In this case, actuate the control again within 3 seconds and keep it actuated.

4 After approximately 2s the gate will start moving in the "man present" mode, i.e. so long as the control is maintained the gate will keep moving; as soon as the control is released the gate will stop.

If the safety devices are out of order the automation must be repaired as soon as possible.

7.3.4 Replacing the Remote Control Battery

Gearmotor release

SL1 and SL10 are equipped with a mechanical system that allows the gate to be opened and closed manually (or rather, as if there was no gearmotor).

The manual operation must be resorted to in case o power failures or system malfunctions. If a power failure occurs, the buffer battery can be used (PR1 optional accessory).

If there is a malfunction of the gearmotor it is still possible to try and release the motor in order to check whether the problem is connected with the release mechanism.

1 Turn the release mechanism cover anti-clockwise until the hole matches the release pin.

2 Insert the key in the pin.

3 Turn the key anti-clockwise by approx. 90° until you feel the gate release

4 At this point, the gate can be moved manually.

5 To restore the functionality of the automation system, rotate the key clockwise while simultaneously moving the gate until it is caught by the mechanism.

6 Remove the key and close the cover by turning it clockwise.

The only maintenance operations that the user can and must perform periodically concern the cleaning of the photocell glasses and the removal of leaves and debris that may impede the automation.

• Use a slightly damp cloth (not wet) to clean the surface of the devices. Do not use any substances containing alcohol, benzene, diluents or other flammable substances. The use of these substances could damage the devices, start fires or generate electric shocks.

• Disconnect the power supply to the automation before you proceed to remove leaves and debris, to prevent anyone from activating the gate.

If the range of the remote control is significantly diminished and the light emitted by the LED is feeble, the remote control battery is probably exhausted. The remote control houses two CR2016 type lithium batteries. To replace them proceed as follows:

1 Open the bottom by pulling it.

2 Insert a small pointed tool in the slit and prise the batteries out.

3 Insert the new battery, observing the polarity (the "+" symbol towards the bottom).

4 Close the bottom until it clicks.

The batteries contain polluting substances: do not dispose of them together with other waste but use the methods established by local regulations.
