GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

The MC424 control unit has been designed to control Wingo 24 V electro­mechanical actuators, for automated swing gates or doors. IMPORTANT! –

Any uses other than those specified herein or in environmental conditions
other than as stated in this manual are to be considered improper and are
strictly prohibited!

The MC424 control unit operates on the basis of a current sensitivity system
which checks the load of the motors connected to it. The system automatically
detects travel stops, memorises the running time of each motor and recognis­es obstacles during normal movement. This feature makes installation easier as
there is no need to adjust the working times nor the leaf delay.

The control unit is pre-programmed for the normal functions, while more spe­ cific functions can be chosen following a simple procedure (see chapter 5).

The control unit is designed to be powered by PS124 buffer batteries as emer­gency power supply in the event of a mains power failure (for further information
see chapter 6.2). It is also designed to be connected to the “Solemyo” solar
energy system (for further information see chapter 6.3).

2.1 - Preliminary checks for installation

Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product compo­nents, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intended installa­tion environment:

• Ensure that all conditions of use remain within the limits of product application

and within the “Product technical specifications”.

• Ensure that the selected installation environment is compatible with the over-

all dimensions of the product (fig. 3).

• Ensure that the selected surfaces for product installation are solid and guar-

antee a stable fixture.

• Make sure that the fixing zone is not subject to flooding. If necessary, mount

the product raised from the ground.

• Ensure that the space around the product enables easy and safe completion

of manual manoeuvres.

• Make sure that the automation is provided with mechanical stops on both

closing and opening.

2.2 - Product application limits

The product may be used exclusively with Wingo 24 V gearmotors.

2.3 - Installation

To install the control unit, proceed as shown in fig. 4. Also observe the follow­ing warnings:

• The control unit is supplied in an enclosure that if correctly installed assures
an IP54 protection rating. The control unit is therefore suitable for installation
outdoors.

• Fix the control unit to a flat, vertical, non-removable surface that is adequate­ly protected from potential impacts. Important! – The bottom of the control unit
must be at least 40 cm from the ground.

• Insert the dedicated cable clamps or pipe glands into the lower part of the
enclosure (fig. 4). Important! – If the cable protection tubes end in a pit, it is
likely that condensation will form inside the control unit, which will damage the
electronic board. In this case, protect the control unit adequately so as to pre­vent the formation of condensation.

• The cable clamps can be inserted on the long side of the enclosure only if the
control unit is installed in a protected indoor environment.

To install the other devices present in the automation, refer to the relevant
instruction manuals.

2.4 - Electrical connections

IMPORTANT!

– All electrical connections must be made with the unit disconnected from
the mains power supply and with the buffer battery disconnected, if pres­ent in the automation.
– Connections must be made exclusively by qualified personnel.
– Make sure that all the electric cables used are of a suitable type.

01. Loosen the screws of the cover.

02. Prepare the electrical cable routing holes.

03. Connect the cables as shown in the wiring diagram in fig. 5. To connect

the electric power cable, see fig. 6. Note – To facilitate cable connections,
the terminals can be removed from their seats.

• With the exception of the photocell inputs when the PHOTOTEST function is
activated, if the inputs of the NC (Normally Closed) contacts are not in use
they should be jumped with the “COMMON” terminal. Refer to paragraph

2.4.3 for further information.

• If there is more than one NC contact on the same input, they must be con­nected in SERIES.

• If the inputs of the NO (Normally Open) contacts are not used they should be
left free.

• If there is more than one NO contact on the same input, they must be con­nected in PARALLEL.

• The contacts must be electromechanical and potential-free. Stage connec­tions, such as those defined as “PNP”, “NPN”, “Open Collector”, etc. are not
allowed.

• If the leafs overlap, use jumper E (Fig. 6) to select which motor starts up first
during opening.

2.4.1 - Notes about connections

Most connections are extremely simple and many of them are direct connec­tions to a single user point or contact. The following figures show examples of
how to connect external devices:

• Stand By / Phototest connection

The Stand-by function is active as standard. It is excluded automatically only
when the Phototest function is activated. Note - The Stand-by and Phototest

functions are alternatives as one excludes the other.

The Stand-by function allows consumptions to be reduced. Three types of con-

nections can be obtained:

- with “stand by” active (energy saving); see electrical diagram in fig. 5a

- standard connection: without “Stand by” and without “Phototest”; see electrical

diagram in fig. 5b

- without “Stand by” and with “Phototest”; see electrical diagram in fig. 5c
When the “Stand-by” function is active, 1 minute after the end of a manoeuvre

the control unit goes into Stand-by, turning off the Inputs and Outputs to
reduce consumptions. The status is indicated by the “OK” LED which begins to
flash more slowly. WARNING – If the control unit is powered from a photovolta-
ic panel (“Solemyo” system) or a buffer battery, the “Stand-by” function must be
activated as shown in the electrical diagram in fig. 5a.
When the “Stand-by” function is not required, the “Phototest” function may be
activated. This verifies at the beginning of a manoeuvre that the connected pho­tocells operate correctly. To use this function, first connect the photocells appro­priately (see electrical diagram in fig. 5c) and then activate the function.

Note – When the phototest is activated, the inputs subjected to the test proce­dure are PHOTO, PHOTO1 and PHOTO2. If one of these inputs is not used it
must be connected to terminal no. 8.

• Key switch connection

Example 1 (fig. 7a): How to connect the switch in order to perform the STEP­BY-STEP and STOP functions
Example 2 (fig.7b): How to connect the switch in order to perform the STEP­BY-STEP and one of the auxiliary input functions (PARTIAL OPENING, OPEN
ONLY, CLOSE ONLY …)

Note – For electrical connections with the “Stand By” function active, see
“Stand By/Phototest function” in this paragraph 2.4.1.

• Connection for Gate Open Indicator / Electric lock (fig. 8)

If the gate open indicator has been programmed, the output can be used as an
open gate indicator light. The light, flashes slowly during opening and quickly
during closing; If it is on but does not flash, this indicates that the gate is open.
If the light is off, the gate is closed. Se the output has been programmed as an
electric lock, it is activated for 3 seconds each time opening begins.

2.4.2 - STOP type input

The MC424 control unit can be programmed for two types of STOP input:

- NC type STOP for connecting up to NC type contacts.

- Constant resistance STOP. It enables the user to connect up to the control

unit of devices with 8.2kΩ constant resistance (e.g. sensitive edges). The
input measures the value of the resistance and disables the manoeuvre when
the resistance is outside the nominal value. Devices with normally open “NO”
or normally closed “NC” contacts, or multiple devices, even of different types,
can be connected to the constant resistance STOP input, provided that
appropriate adjustments are made; see Table 1.

WARNING! – If the constant resistance STOP input is used to connect
devices with safety functions, only the devices with 8.2 KΩ constant will
resistance output guarantee the fail-safe category 3.

Notes to Table 1:
Note 1 – Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in paral-

lel, with an 8.2K

Ω

termination resistance (fig. 9a). For electrical connections
with the “Stand By” function active, see “Stand By/Phototest function” in this
paragraph 2.4.1.

Note 2 – The NO and NC combination can be obtained by placing the two con­tacts in parallel, and placing an 8.2K

Ω

resistance in series with the NC contact.

It is, therefore, possible to combine 3 devices: NO, NC and 8.2KΩ (fig. 9b).
Note 3 – Any number of NC devices can be connected in series to each other

and to an 8.2K

Ω

resistance (fig. 9c).

Note 4 – Only one device with an 8.2K

Ω

constant resistance output can be

connected; multiple devices must be connected “in cascade” with a single

8.2K

Ω

termination resistance (fig. 9d).

2.5 - Initial start-up and electrical connections

IMPORTANT! – Connections must be made exclusively by qualified per-

sonnel.

After powering up the control unit, check that all the LEDs flash rapidly for a few
seconds, then perform the following checks:

1. Check that there is a voltage of approximately 30Vdc on terminals 9-10. If
not, unplug the unit immediately and carefully check the connections and
input voltage.

2. After initially flashing rapidly, the P1 LED will indicate the control unit is work­ing correctly by flashing regularly at 1 second intervals. When there is a vari­ation in the inputs, the “P1” led will rapidly flash twice to show that the input
has been recognised.

3. If the connections are correct, the LED for the “NC”-type inputs will be on,
while those for the “NO” type inputs must be off. See fig. A and Table 2.

TABLE 2

INPUT INPUT TYPE STATUS LED

STOP STOP NC L1 On

CONSTANT RESISTANCE L1 On
STOP 8.2 KΩ

PHOTO NC L2 On
FOTO1 NC L3 On
STEP-BY-STEP NO L4 Off
AUX OPEN PARTIALLY type 1 - NO L5 Off

OPEN PARTIALLY type 2 - NO L5 Off
OPEN ONLY - NO L5 Off
CLOSE ONLY - NO L5 Off
FOTO2 - NC L5 On

4.Check that the relative LEDs switch on and off when the devices connected
to the inputs are operated.

5.Check that by pressing P2 both motors perform a short opening manoeuvre,
and the motor of the upper leaf starts first. Block the manoeuvre by press­ing P2 again. If the motors do not start up for opening, invert the polarities of
the motor cables. If, however, the first one to move is not the upper leaf,
operate jumper E (fig. 2).

2.6 - Automatic search system for the limit switches

On the successful completion of the various controls, start the automatic
search system phase for the limit switches. This work is necessary as the
MC424 control unit must “measure” how long the opening and closing
manoeuvres take This procedure is completely automatic and detects the
mechanical opening and closing stops by measuring the load on the motors.

Warning! – If this procedure has already been carried out, in order to
reactivate it, the user must first delete the memory (see the “Memory de ­letion” chapter). In order to check whether the memory contains any li mit
switch parameters, turn the power supply to the control unit on and then
off again. If all the LEDs flash rapidly for approximately 6 seconds, the
me mory is empty. If, however, they only flash for 3 seconds, the memory
already contains some limit switch parameters.

Before starting limit switch searching, make sure that all the safety devices are
enabled (STOP, PHOTO and PHOTO1). The procedure will be immediately
interrupted if a safety device triggers or a command arrives. Ideally the doors
should be half open, although they can be in any position.

Procedure – Press the P2 button (fig. 2) to start begin searching which
includes:

- Both motors open briefly.

- Motor closes the lower leaf until it reaches the mechanical closing stop.

- The upper leaf motor closes until it reaches the mechanical closing stop.

- The motor of the upper leaf begins to open.

- After the programmed delay, opening of the lower leaf begins. If the delay is

in sufficient, block the search by pressing P1 (fig. 2), then modify the time (see
chapter 5).

- The control unit measures the movement required for the motors to reach the

opening mechanical stops.

- Complete closing manoeuvre. The motors can start at different times, the aim

is to prevent the leafs from shearing by maintaining a suitable delay.

- End of the procedure with memorisation of all measurements.

All these phases must take place one after the other without any interference
from the operator. If the procedure does not continue correctly, it must be inter­rup ted with the P1 button. Repeat the procedure, modifying some parameters if
necessary, for example the current sensitivity cut-in thresholds (see chapter 5).

These are the most important phases of automation set-up for ensuring maxi­mum system safety. The test can also be performed as a periodic check of
automation devices. Testing and commissioning of the automation must be
performed by skilled and qualified personnel, who are responsible for the tests
required to verify the solutions adopted according to the risks present, and for
ensuring observance of all legal provisions, standards and regulations, and in
particular all requirements of the standard EN 12445, which establishes the test
methods for checking automations for doors and gates.
The additional or optional devices must undergo a specific test for functionality
and correct interaction with MC424. Refer to the instruction manuals of the
individual devices.

3.1 - Testing

The testing sequence refers to the control unit programmed with the preset
functions. See paragraph 5.1:

• Make sure that the activation of the STEP-BY-STEP input generates the fol­lowing sequence of movements: “Open, Stop, Close, Stop”.

• Make sure that the activation of the AUX input (Type 1 partial opening function)
manages the “Open, Stop, Close, Stop” sequence of the motor of the upper
leaf only, while the motor of the lower leaf remains in the closed position.

• Perform an opening manoeuvre and check that:

- the gate continues the opening manoeuvre when PHOTO is engaged

- the opening manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and only continues
when PHOTO1 is disengaged

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO2 (if installed) is engaged and the closing
manoeuvre starts

• Make sure that the motor switches off when the door reaches the mechanical
stop.

• Perform an opening manoeuvre and check that:

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO is engaged and the opening manoeuvre
starts

- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and the opening manoeu­vre starts again when PHOTO1 is disengaged

- the gate continues the closing manoeuvre when PHOTO 2 is engaged

• Check that the stopping devices connected to the STOP input immediately
stop all movement.

• Check that the level of the obstacle detection system is suitable for the appli­cation:

- During both the opening and the closing manoeuvres, prevent the leaf from
moving by placing an obstacle and check that the manoeuvre inverts before
exceeding the force set down by law

• Other checks may be required depending on which devices are connected to
the inputs.

Warning – If an obstacle is detected as moving in the same direction for 2
consecutive manoeuvres in the same direction, the control unit partially
inverts both motors for just 1 second. At the following command, the leafs
begin the opening manoeuvre and the first current sensitivity cut-in for
each motor is considered as a mechanical stop during the opening cycle.
The same happens when the mains power supply is switched on: the first
command is always an opening manoeuvre and the first obstacle is
always considered as a mechanical stop during the opening cycle.

3.2 - Commissioning

Commissioning can only be performed after positive results of all test
phases.

1 Prepare the automation technical documentation, which must contain the

following documents: overall drawing of the automation, electrical wiring
diagram, risk assessment and relative solutions adopted (refer to the rele­vant forms on our website www.niceforyou.com), manufacturer’s declara-
tion of conformity for all devices used and installer’s declaration of con­formity.

2 Affix a dataplate on the gate, specifying at least the following data: type of

automation, name and address of manufacturer (responsible for commis­sioning), serial number, year of construction and CE mark.

3 Before commissioning the automation, ensure that the owner is adequately

informed of all associated risks and hazards.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

The diagnostics LED P2 (fig. 2) indicates any problems or malfunctions re ­vealed by the control unit during the manoeuvre.
A sequence with a certain number of flashes indicates the type of problem and
remains active until the following manoeuvre begins. The table below sum­marises this information:

Number Type of malfunction
Led P2 flashes

1 M1 current sensitivity device triggering
2 M2 current sensitivity device triggering
3 STOP input cut-in during the manoeuvre
4 Phototest error

To ensure the system is best suited to the user’s requirements, and safe in the
various different conditions of use, the MC424 control unit offers the possibility
to programme several functions or parameters, as well as the function of a
number of inputs and outputs.

5.2.1 - Direct programming

• Slow/rapid movement: The user can choose the speed of movement of the

gate, at any time (with the motor arrested) simply by operating the P3 key (fig.

2) at any time the control unit is not being programmed. If LED L3 is off, this
shows that the slow movement has been set, if on the fast one has.

5.2.2 - Level one programming: part one

• Automatic closing: This function features an automatic closing cycle after

the programmed pause time; the pause time is factory set to 20 seconds but
it can be modified to 5, 10, 20, 40 or 80 seconds.

If the function is not activated, the system will run “semi-automatically”.

• “Condominium” function: This function is useful when the automatic sys-

tem is radio-commanded by many different people. If this function is active,
each command received triggers an opening manoeuvre that cannot be inter­rupted by further commands. If the function has been deactivated, a com­mand causes: OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP.

• Pre-flashing: This function activates the flashing light before the manoeuvre

begins for a time that can be programmed to 3 seconds.
If the function is disabled, the light will start flashing when the manoeuvre

starts.

• Close after photo: During the automatic closing cycle, this function reduces

the pause time to 4 seconds after the PHOTO photocell has disengaged, i.e.
the gate closes 4 seconds after the user has passed through it. If the function
is disabled, the whole programmed pause time will pass.

• Opening delay: During opening, this function causes a delay in the activation

of the lower leaf motor compared with the upper one This is necessary in
order to prevent the leafs from getting stuck. There is always a standard delay
during closing, calculated automatically by the control unit in order to ensure
the same delay as the one programmed for opening.

5.2.3 - Level one programming: part two

• Stand By / Phototest function: The control unit has the “Stand-by” function

preset. If this function is active, 1 minute after the end of a manoeuvre the
control unit turns off the “Stand-by” output (terminal no. 8) and all the Inputs
and other Outputs to reduce consumptions (see electrical diagram in fig. 5a).
This function is obligatory if the control unit is powered exclusively with Sole­myo photovoltaic panels. It is also recommended if the control panel is pow­ered from the electric mains and if you wish to extend emergency operation
with the buffer battery PS124. As an alternative to the “Stand-by” function,
the “Phototest” function may be activated. This verifies at the beginning of a
manoeuvre that the connected photocells operate correctly. To use this func­tion, connect the photocells correctly (see electrical diagram in fig. 5c) and
then activate the function.

• Open gate indicator light / electric lock: If the function is activated, termi-

nals 6-7 can be used to connect up the electric lock. If the function is deacti­vated, terminals 6-7 can be used to connect up a 24V gate open indicator.

• NC Type or Constant Resistance STOP Input: If the function is activated,

the STOP input is set to “8.2KΩ Constant Resistance”. In this case, there
must be a 8.2KΩ +/-25% resistance between the common and the input to
enable the operation. If the function is not set, the configuration of the STOP
input will enable it to function with NC type contacts.

• Light/heavy gates : If the function is activated, the control unit enables the

user to manage heavy gates, setting the acceleration ramps and slowdown
speeds during closing differently. If the function is deactivated, the control unit
will be set to manage light gates.

• Proportional gate open indicator: If the function is activated, the gate open

in dicator output will be set with the proportional flashing light. This means that
during opening, the flashing becomes more intense as the leafs come nearer
to the opening stops; vice-versa, for closing, the flashing becomes less
intense as the leafs come nearer to the closing stops. If the function is deacti­vated, the light will flash slowly during opening and rapidly during closing.

5.2.4 - Level two functions

• Pause time: The pause time, namely the time which lapses between opening

and closing during automatic functioning, can be programmed to 5, 10, 20,
40, and 80 seconds.

• Auxiliary input AUX: The control unit offers an auxiliary input which can be

set to carry out one of the following 6 functions:

- Partial opening type 1: this carries out the same function as the STEP-BY­STEP input. It causes only the upper leaf to open. It only works if the gate is
closed completely, otherwise the command is interpreted as if it were a
STEP-BY-STEP comman.

- Partial opening type 2: this carries out the same function as the STEP-BY­STEP input. It causes the two leafs to open for half the time it would take
them to open completely. It only works if the gate is closed completely, other­wise the command is interpreted as if it were a STEP-BY-STEP command.

- Open only: this input only causes opening in the Open-Stop-Open-Stop
sequence.

- Close only: this input only causes closing in the Open-Stop-Open-Stop
sequence.

- Photo 2: this carries out the function of the “PHOTO 2” safety device.

- Disabled: the input will not carry out any function

• Discharge time: At the end of the Closing manoeuvre, after the leafs have

reached the totally closed position, the motor continues to “push” the leaf for
a brief interval, to ensure perfect closure. Immediately afterwards, this func­tion activates a very brief inversion of movement to reduce excessive pres­sure exerted by the motor on the leafs.

• Current sensitivity: The control unit is equipped with a system which meas-

ures the current absorbed by the two motors used to detect the mechanical
stops and any obstacles when the gate is moving. Since the current ab ­sorbed depends on a number of conditions, including the weight of the gate,
friction, wind and variations in voltage, the cut-in threshold can be changed.
There are 6 levels: 1 is the most sensitive (minimum force), 6 is the least sen­sitive (maximum force).

WARNING! – If the “current sensitivity” function (together with other
vital features) is adjusted correctly, the system will comply with Euro­pean standards, EN 12453 and EN 12445, which require techniques or
devices to be used to limit force and danger during the functioning of
automatic gates and doors are moved.

• Leaf delay: The delay in starting up the motor of the lower leaf can be pro-

grammed to 5, 10, 20, 30 or 40% of the working time.

5.3 - Programming

All the functions described in paragraph 5.2 “Programmable functions” chapter
can be selected by means of a programming phase which terminates by mem­orising the choices made. The control unit therefore has a memory which stores
the functions and parameters relative to the automation process.

The P1, P2 and P3 buttons are used for all the programming phases, while the
5 LEDs (L1, L2…L5) indicate the selected parameter.

There are two different programming levels:

• At level 1, the functions can be enabled or disabled. Each Led (L1, L2…L5)

corresponds to a function: if the Led is on, the function is active; if it is off, it is
deactivated.

Level one consists in 2 parts which can be selected using the P3 button. The
cor responding LED P3 indicates which of the 2 parts has been selected.

Level one (P1 Led lit): part two (P3 Led lit)

L1 Led L2 Led L3 Led L4 Led L5 Led

Phototest stop proportional

Level one (P1 Led lit): part one ( P3 Led off)

• It is possible to pass to the second level from level one of part one. At this

second level the user can choose the parameter relating to the function. A
different value corresponds to each LED which must be associated to the
parameter.

6.1 - Connecting a radio receiver

The control unit has a connector for fitting a 4 channel radio card complete with
SM slot. This remote control device functions by means of transmitters which
act on the inputs as per the following table:

Output Receiver Control unit input

N° 1 Step by step
N° 2 AUX (reset value: Partially Open 1)
N° 3 “Open only”
N° 4 “Close only”

6.2 - Connecting model PS124 buffer battery

PS124 buffer batteries can be used to supply the control unit in case of net­work blackouts. To install and connect the battery, proceed as shown in fig. 10.

6.3 - Connecting the Solemyo system

The control unit is designed to be powered with the “Solemyo” photovoltaic
system (photovoltaic panel and 24 V battery). To connect the Solemyo battery
to the control unit, use the socket on the control unit that is normally used for
the buffer battery (see paragraph 6.2).

IMPORTANT!

- When the automation is powered by the “Solemyo” system, it MUST
NOT BE POWERED at the same time from the electrical mains.

- The Solemyo system can be used only if the Standby function on the con­ trol unit is ON and the connections are as shown in the diagram in fig. 5a.

FURTHER DETAILS: accessories

No LEDs are on:

• Check whether the control unit is powered (measure a voltage of about
30Vdc at terminals 9-10 (or 24 Vdc with battery power).

• Check the 2 fuses, if not even the P1 Led is on or flashing a serious fault has
probably occurred and the control unit must therefore be replaced.

The P1 LED flashes regularly but the input LED’s L1, L2...L5 do not reflect
the state of the respective inputs

• Switch the unit off for the moment in order to exit a possible programming
phase.

• Carefully check the connections on terminals 11 to 16.

LED P1 flashes every 4 seconds

• The control unit is in Stand by status.

The “Automatic search” procedure does not start up

• The “Automatic search” procedure only starts if it has never been performed
before or if the memory has been deleted. To check whether the memory is
empty switch off the unit for a moment. When it is switched on again, all the
Leds should flash rapidly for about 6 seconds. If they only flash for 3 sec­onds, the memory already contains valid values. If a new “Automatic search”
is required, the memory must be completely deleted.

The “Automatic search” procedure has never been performed but it either
does not start or it behaves incorrectly

• The system and all the safety devices must be operative in order to activate
the “Automatic search” procedure.

• Make sure that no device connected to the inputs cuts in during the “Auto­matic search” procedure.

• In order for the “Automatic search” procedure to start correctly, the input
Leds must be on as shown in fig. 11, the P1 Led must flash once a second.

The “Automatic search” procedure was performed correctly but the
manoeuvre does not start

• Check that the safety device (STOP, PHOTO, PHOTO1 and, if installed,
PHOTO2) Leds are on and that the relative command Led (STEP-BY-STEP
or AUX) remains on for the entire duration of the command.

• If the “Phototest” function is activated but the photocells do not function cor­rectly, the DIAGNOSTICS LED indicates the fault by flashing four times.

The gate inverts the direction while moving

An inversion is caused by:

• The photocells triggering (PHOTO2 during the opening manoeuvre, PHOTO
or PHOTO1 during the closing manoeuvre). In this case, check the photocell
connections and input LEDs.

• The current sensitivity device triggers while the motors are moving (not near

TROUBLESHOOTING
(troubleshooting guide)

the mechanical stops, therefore). This is considered as an obstacle and
causes an inversion. To find out if the current sensitivity device has triggered,
count how many times the Diagnostics LED flashes: 1 flash indicates that the
current sensitivity device triggered on account of motor 1, 2 flashes indicate
that this was caused by motor 2.

TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRODUCT

EN

English – 11

smxi - smixs radio receiver

0682

SMXI and SMXIS are 4-channel radio receivers for control units equipped with
SM-type connector. The peculiarity of compatible transmitters is that the identi­fication code is different for each transmitter. Therefore, in order to allow the
receiver to recognise a determined transmitter, the recognition code must be
memorised. This operation must repeated for each transmitter required to com­municate with the control unit.

Notes:
– Up to a maximum of 256 transmitters can be memorised in the receiver. No

one transmitter can be cancelled; all the codes must be deleted
– For more advanced functions use the appropriate programming unit.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

1

The receiver features 4 outputs, all available on the underlying connector. To
find out which function is performed by each output, see chapter 6.1.

During the transmitter code memorisation phase, one of these two options may
be chosen:

Mode I - Table B1: Each transmitter button activates the corresponding out­put in the receiver, that is, button 1 activates output 1, button 2 activates output
2, and so on. In this case there is a single memorisation phase for each trans­mitter; during this phase, it doesn’t matter which button is pressed and just one
memory sector is occupied.

Mode II - Table B2: Each transmitter button can be associated with a partic­ular output in the receiver, e.g., button 1 activates output 2, button 2 activates
output 1, and so on. In this case, the transmitter must be memorised, pressing
the required button, for each output to activate. Naturally, each button can acti­vate just one output while the same output can be activated by more than one
button. One memory section is occupied for each button.

TABLE B1 - Mode I memorising (All buttons are memorised on the related receiver output)

01. Press and hold down the receiver button for at least 3 seconds

02. Release the button when the Led lights up

03. Push, for at least 2 seconds, any of the buttons of the transmitter to be memorised within 10 seconds

Note – If the procedure was memorised correctly, the Led on the receiver will flash 3 times. If there are other transmitters
to memorise, repeat step 3 within another 10 seconds. The memorisation phase finishes if no new codes are received
for 10 seconds.

INSTALLING THE AERIAL

2

The receiver requires an ABF or ABFKIT type aerial to work properly; without an
aerial the range is limited to just a few metres. The aerial must be installed as
high as possible; if there are metal or reinforced concrete structures nearby you
can install the aerial on top. If the cable supplied with the aerial is too short, use
a coaxial cable with 50-Ohm impedance (e.g. low dispersion RG58), the cable
must be no longer than 10 m.
If the aerial is installed in a place that is not connected to earth (masonry struc­tures), the braid’s terminal can be earthed to provide a larger range of action.
The earth point must, of course, be local and of good quality. If an ABF or
ABFKIT aerial cannot be installed, you can get quite good results using the
length of wire supplied with the receiver as the aerial, laying it flat.

WARNING – When the memorisation phase is activated, any tran s­mitter correctly recognised within the reception range of the radio
is memorised. Consider this aspect with care and remove the aeri­al if necessary to reduce the capacity of the receiver.

MEMORISING A REMOTE CONTROL

3

The procedures for memorising the remote controls must be performed within
a certain time limit; please read and understand the whole procedure before
starting.
In order to carry out the following procedure, it is necessary to use the button
located on the box of the radio receiver (reference A, Fig. 1a), and the corre­sponding LED (reference B, Fig. 1a) to the left of the button.

1a

TABLE B2 - Mode II memorising (A specific receiver output can be associated to each button)

01. Press and release the receiver button as many times as the number of the desired output (Once for output No. 1,

twice for output No. 2)

02. Check that the LED emits the same number of flashes as the desired output, repeated over 10 seconds in regular
intervals (1 flash if output No. 1, 2 flashes if output No. 2)

03. Within 10 seconds press the desired button on the transmitter to be memorised, holding it down for at least 2 seconds.

Note – If the procedure was memorised correctly, the Led on the receiver will flash 3 times. If there are other transmitters
to memorise, repeat step 3 within another 10 seconds. The memorisation phase finishes if no new codes are received
for 10 seconds.
