2.3 Description of devices
WS1C and WS1 are electromechanical gearmotor consisting of a helical
teeth reduction gear and a 24V direct current motor. It features a keyoperated mechanical release mechanism that allows you to move the
gate manually in the event of a power failure. The gearmotors can be
mounted at the side of the gate using the special mounting brackets. The
curved arm and the related mounting bracket enable the connection
between the gearmotor and the gate leaf.
WS1C is complete with a unit that controls the gearmotors and power
supply to the various components; it comprises an electronic card with
incorporated radio receiver.
WS1C is also fitted with a compartment for the PR1 buffer battery (optional) required for operation in the event of a power failure. The control unit
can activate the gearmotors at two speeds: “slow” or “fast”.
To facilitate the electrical connections there are separate terminals for
each device, 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.
WS1 does not have a control unit and must be connected to the relative
terminals of the WS1C control unit.

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.

WS2 must not be used to power a gate that is not efficient and
safe. It 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 (see paragraph 3.1.1). If they do
not, WS2 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 leaves.
• Check sturdiness of the mechanical stops on closing and opening (if fitted), and that there is no risk of the deformation even
when the leaf 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 location where the gearmotor is installed is
compatible with the overall dimensions of the gearmotor and
that it allows the release manoeuvre to be carried out easily and
safely.
• 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
•Check the size limits referring to figure 9.
• Check that there is enough space for the arm to rotate
• Using the leaf opening angle as a guideline, check that the
values in Table 5 can be met.
Table 5
1. “B” is a value that can be easily measured on the gate.
2. Use the value of “B” and the leaf opening angle in the table to calcu-
late the value of “A”. E. g.: if “B” equals 100 mm and you require an
opening angle of 100°, “A” should be about 180 mm.
Instructions WS2 7
The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel in compliance with the directions provided in this chapter
1 “WARNINGS”.

3.1.2 Tools and Materials
Figure 12
Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the WS2 components are suitable for
the intended application.
In general, WS2 is suitable for the automation of gates featuring leaves
up to 1.8 m wide, weighing up to 200 kg, with opening angle of up to
110° for residential applications. 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 leaves under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the WS1 and WS1C gearmotors.
Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install
the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serviceable according to current safety standards.
See examples in figure 12.
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.
Note 1 A power supply cable longer than 30 m may be used provided it has a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2.5mm
2
, and that a safety grounding system is
provided near the automation unit.
Note 2 For the ECSbus 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
2
cable.

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System
3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains
Although the connection of WS1C to the mains power line is not dealt
with in this manual, note that:
• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified
professional electrician
• Alternatively, have a suitably protected 16A “shuko” outlet
installed, where you can plug in WS1C.
• The power supply line must be protected from short circuits and
ground leakage; a device must be provided to enable the
disconnection of the power supply during the installation and
maintenance of WS2 (the plug with outlet are suitable for this
purpose).
With the exception of the power line that supplies the control unit, the
rest of the system uses extra-low 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.
3.3 Installation of the Various Devices
3.3.1 WS1 and WS1C gearmotor mounting
1 Choose the mounting position in accordance with the specifications
in paragraph 3.1 “Preliminary Checks”.
2Check that the mounting surface is perfectly smooth, vertical and suf-
ficiently compact. WS2 does not come with a mounting system, consequently one will have to be chosen according to the surface material.
3 As other devices are also connected to the WS1C gearmotor, take
care that one or more lines of suitable dimensions are laid to ensure
correct routing of all cables.
4Using the value of “B” taken from Table 5, place the mounting plate of
the gearmotor on the mounting surface in the required position.
Check that there is a suitable surface at the values in Figure 11, i.e.
where the bracket of the arm is mounted.
5Mark the drilling points using the plate as a template and then drill the
holes in the surface so that 4 anchors can be installed. The anchors
(not supplied) should be at least 8 mm. Secure the plate with screws
[A] and washers [B].
6 Check that the plate is perfectly level.
Otherwise the arm outside the axis will cause a gate malfunction.
7 Set up the gearmotor by fitting the arm [C] with the washer [D], then
fasten the screw tightly [E]. Take care to place the arm towards the
front section.

1 Remove the top cover of the gearmotor by pushing a screwdriver
under the closing hook inside the release ringnut and pulling the cover
up.
2 Insert the wires for connection of the various devices through the rela-
tive route (at the back left of the gearmotor). Leave cable lengths of at
least 40-50cm.
3Refer to figure 43 for the electrical extra low voltage connection of the
various devices to the control unit terminals.
• 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 cable for the second WS1 (M1 motor) must be connected as shown in detail [B].
• Keep in mind that, to prevent the jamming of the two leaves, the
WS1C control unit commands the M2 motor (its motor) to open first,
followed by M1 (WS1 one) (vice-versa for the closing manoeuvre).
Therefore make sure that the motor that drives the leaf that strikes
the mechanical stop is connected to terminal M1 (outer one), while
the motor that drives the other leaf must be connected to terminal
M2. Otherwise remove the terminals M1 and M2 and invert them.
• If only one motor is used (single-leaf gate) it must be connected to
terminal M2 while terminal M1 remains free.

3.5 Preliminary checks
As soon as WS1C control unit is energised, you should check the following:
1Make 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 recognise 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.
2Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognising the
devices.
3When the recognising procedure is completed, the STOP LED [A] (the
one over the red terminal), 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 50
B
A
C
After recognising the devices, the control unit must recognise the leaves’
opening and closing angles.
During this stage, the leaves’ opening angle is measured from the closing mechanical stop to the opening mechanical stop.
1 Release the motors using the appropriate keys (see the “Gearmotor
Release” paragraph on page 34) and move the leaves to mid travel so
that they are free to move in both opening and closing directions; then
lock the motors.
2 On the control unit, press the P3 button [B] and hold it down for at
least three seconds, then release the button.
Wait for the control unit to complete the recognition stage: closing of the
M1 motor to the mechanical stop, closing of the M2 motor to the
mechanical stop, opening of the M2 and M1 motors to the opening
mechanical stop; complete closing of M1 and M2.
• If the first manoeuvre of one or both leaves is not to close, press P3 to
interrupt the recognition stage, then switch the polarity of the motor/s
that opened by exchanging the two brown and blue wires on the terminal.
• If the first motor to move in the closing direction is not M1, press P3 to
interrupt the recognition stage, then switch the the terminals of the two
motors.
• If any device is triggered during the recognition stage (photocells, keyoperated selector switch, pressure on P3, etc.), the recognition stage
will immediately be interrupted. It will therefore be necessary to start
again from the beginning.
3 If at the conclusion of the search the P3 LED [A] flashes, it means that
an error has occurred; see paragraph 5.5 “Troubleshooting”.
The opening angles recognition stage can be repeated again at any time,
even after the installation (for example, if one of the opening stops is
removed); just repeat the procedure starting from step 1.

3.5.3 Checking the Radio Transmitters
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:
T1 button “OPEN” command
T2 button “Pedestrian Gate” command
T3 button “Open only” command
T4 button “Close only” command

1 Make sure that the provisions contained in chapter 1 “WARN-
INGS” 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 gate moves 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 (pho-
tocells, 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 recognises the event.
4To 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 standard 12445. 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”).
To 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 speed is “complete”.
3.7 Testing and commissioning
These are the most important operations in the automation designed to
guarantee the maximum safety and reliability of the automation system.
Testing can also be adopted as a method of periodically checking that all
the various devices in the system are functioning correctly.
Testing of the entire system must be performed by qualified and
experienced personnel who must establish which tests to conduct on the basis of the risks involved, and verify the compliance
of the system with applicable regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with all the provisions of EN standard 12445
which establishes the test methods for automation systems for
gates.

3.6.1 Selecting the Speed of the Leaf
The leaves 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”.

3.7.2 Commissioning
Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases
have been terminated successfully. Partial commissioning or
implementation of “temporary” conditions are not permitted.
1Prepare and store for at least 10 years the technical documentation
for the automation, which must include at least: assembly drawing
(e.g. figure 1), wiring diagram (e.g. figure 13), analysis of hazards and
solutions adopted, manufacturer’s declaration of conformity of all the
devices installed. For WS2 use Annexe 1 “EC Declaration of Conformity of the WS2 components”.
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”
4Prepare the operating guide and deliver it to the owner of the automa-
tion system; Annexe 3 “OPERATING GUIDE” can be used as an
example.
5Prepare 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.
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.
The devices used for the WS2 automation system do not require any
special maintenance. However, periodically make sure (at least once
every six months) that all the devices are perfectly efficient.
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
WS2 is constructed of various types of materials, some of which can be
recycled: steel, aluminium, plastic, electric cables; while others must be
disposed of (boards and electronic components).
WARNING: some electronic components may contain polluting
substances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the
recycling or disposal systems available in compliance regulations
locally in force.
1 Contact a qualified electrician regarding the disconnection of the
automation system from the electric mains.
2Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse
order the procedures described in chapter 3 “Installation”.
3Remove 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 authorised scrap collection cen-
tres.

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 auto-
matic closing mode).
2) Pedestrian gate: pedestrian gate opening mode.
3) Motor force: maximum force beyond which the control unit recognises an obstacle and reverses the movement.
4) “OPEN” function: sequence of movements associated to each
“OPEN” command.
The following chapters describe different ways of customising WS2 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”).
If no transmitter memorized in Mode 1 is available, you can memorize
one just for this phase 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.
1Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for
at least 5 s.
2 Release the two button.
3Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 8 based on
the parameter to be modified.
Example: to set the pause time at 40 s.
1° Press buttons T1 and T2 and hold them down for at least 5 s
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 fric-
tion on the door. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the
safety system or damage the leaf.
• 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 standard 12445.
•The weather conditions may affect the movement of the leaf, therefore
periodic re-adjustments may be necessary.

Instructions WS2 19
With a radio transmitter memorized in Mode 1, you can check the values
set for each parameter at any time by following the sequence described
below:
1Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for
at least 5 s.
2 Release the two buttons.
3Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 9 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 correspon-
ding value in table 8.
Example. If the flashing light flashes three times after you have pressed
T1 and T2 for 5 s and then button T1, the pause time is set at 40 s.

5.2 Optional Accessories
In addition to the devices featured in WS2, 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 to or removed from the WS2 automation system
at any time.
Do not add any devices until you have made sure that they are
perfectly compatible with WS2; 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 recognised
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 recognises 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 8.2KΩ 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.
Note 3. Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in
series.
Note 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, recognises
the type of device connected to the STOP input subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognised status.

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 button [B] and hold it down for at
least three seconds, then release the button.
2Wait a few seconds for the control unit to finish recognising the
devices.
3When 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 sys-
tem must be tested again according to the directions contained in
paragraph 3.7.1 “Testing”.

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.
Photocell address allocation is used to enable the correct recognition
between other devices of the ECSBus and to assign the specific function.
1 Open the shell of the photocell.
2 Identify the position where they are installed based on figure 57 and
connect with jumper according to Table 11.
The unused jumpers must be stored in their proper compartment for
future use (Figure 59).
3 Perform the recognition stage as explained in paragraph 5.3.3
“Recognition of other devices”.

Instructions WS2 21
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:
1Press the button on the NEW radio transmitter and hold it down for at
least 5s, then release it
2Press the button on the OLD radio transmitter 3 times slowly.
3Press 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
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 fullest extent,
i.e. all the buttons execute a pre-established command (the transmitters
supplied with WS2 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 (10 s), 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”
T4 button “Close only”
5.4 Memorization of Radio Transmitters
5.4.1 Mode 1 Memorization
1Press button P1 [B] for at least 3 s. When the P1 LED [A] lights up,
release the button.
2Within 10 s, press any button on the radio transmitter to be memo-
rized and hold it down for at least 2 s.
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 60
5.4.2 Mode 2 Memorization
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 Clear the remote control by performing the procedure "5.4.4 Deleting
a radio transmitter”
2Press button P1 (figure 61) 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).
3Make sure that the P1 LED makes as many quick flashes as the num-
ber corresponding to the selected command.
4Within 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 10 s, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate automatically.

5.4.5 Deleting all the Radio Transmitters
With this operation all the memorized transmitters are deleted.
1Press the P1 button [B] on the control unit and hold it down.
2Wait 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.
4Wait approximately 4 s for the deletion process to be completed; dur-
ing 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.
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 12
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 34)
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.
No manoeuvre starts 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.
No manoeuvre starts 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 13 on page 23
The manoeuvre starts but it is immediately
followed by a reverse run
• The selected force is too low to move the leaves. Check to see whether there are any obstacles; if
necessary increase the force as described on page 18
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.

5.4.4 Deleting a Radio Transmitter
Only if the system features a radio transmitter, you can delete it from the
memory by proceeding as follows.
If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 1, only one deletion procedure
will be needed and at step 3 you can press any button. If the transmitter
is memorized in Mode 2, one deletion procedure will be needed for each
key memorized.
1Press the P1 button [B] (figure 60) on the control unit and hold it down
2Wait until the P1 LED [A] lights up, then, within three seconds:
3Press the key on the radio transmitter to be deleted and hold it down
for at least three seconds. If the deletion procedure is successful, the
P1 LED will flash rapidly 5 times.If the P1 LED flashes only once slowly, it means that the deletion procedure has not been successful
because the transmitter is not memorized.
4 If there are other transmitters to be deleted, repeat step 3 within ten
seconds while pressing button P1, otherwise the deletion stage will
terminate automatically.

Instructions WS2 33
• Keep at a safe distance while the gate is moving; do not pass
through until the gate has opened all the way and the leaves have
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 pro-
vided 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.

Gearmotor release
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the
gate to be opened and closed manually (i.e. as if WS2 were not present).
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.
1Turn the release mechanism cover clockwise until the hole matches
the release pin.
2 Insert the key in the pin.
3Turn the key anti-clockwise.
4At this point, the gate leaf can be moved manually.
5To 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 anti-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 pro-
ceed 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 to CR2016 type lithium batteries.
To r eplace 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.
