Printed Circuit Board: Adjustments and Connections
Programming the Soft-Modes
The TS Solar/TS Akku is shipped with factory pre-set values for the
Soft-Modes; if the learning cycle is run without any changes to
the factory-settings, then the pre-set values will be programmed
automatically.
The BOTTOM Soft-Stop
The length of the BOTTOM Soft-Stop may be changed during the
first run of the learning-cycle in closing direction.
- Extending the BOTTOM Soft-Stop is recommended, if the
garage door slams on closing.
- Reducing or disabling the BOTTOM Soft-Stop is recommended, when the bottom of the garage door does not close completely. Expecially when mechanical spring-locks are installed, these
might not engage. When the BOTTOM Soft-Stop is disabled, the
garage door reaches the closing position with a higher speed. This
gives the door a higher momentum and the bottom can fall into
the doors‘ frame - the locks can then engage.
Programming the BOTTOM Soft-Mode
The length of the soft-stop can be adjusted during the first automatic measurement-run in closing direction. Please proceed as
described below:
1. Start the learning cycle (refer to page 11)
2. the operator runs in closing direction with low speed
3. press the LERN/LEARN button and keep it pressed - the operator
is now increasing the speed
4. release the LERN/LEARN button at the position where the softstop shall begin (the operator will safe this position as the
beginning of the BOTTOM soft-stop)
If the Soft-Stop is to be disabled, then the LEARN button must be
pressed until the door is completely closed.
5. the operator will reduce speed with a short delay and then
reach the closing position
6. the operator will procede with the remaining measurementruns
When the operators‘ light stops blinking, all measured values
are saved in the memory - the BOTTOM soft-stop now is in the
programmed position.
Disabling the TOP Soft-Modes
The TS Solar/TS Akku will start the closing procedure from
OPENING position with slow speed (e.g. TOP Soft-Mode).
Dependant on the performance of the garage door it might be
necessary to disable this Soft-Mode, especially when the operator
reverses during that period (e.g. pressure detection).
Procedure for disabling the TOP Soft-Mode
Set DIP-Switch no. 1 to OFF before starting the learning cycle
and leave it in that setting until the learning cycles are completed
- the TOP Soft-Mode then is disabled.
After the learning cycles the DIP-switch no. 1 fulfills its‘ normal
function („Normal Force/Higher Force during CLOSING Soft-Stop“
as to page 17).
TIP: should you decide to remove the jumper, then plug it
back onto one pin only - so it remains available on the P.C.B.
for later use.
Quick Reference „Programming the BOTTOM Soft-Mode“
1.) During the first learning
cycle in CLOSING direction
Keep the LEARN button pressed
during the first run in CLOSING
direction and keep it pressed -the
operator increases speed
2.) The operator is running
in CLOSING direction with
increased speed
Release the LEARN button at the
position where the soft-stop shall
start in future.
If the LEARN button is kept
pressed until the door is
completely shut, then the
soft-stop will be disabled.
3.) The operator reaches the CLOSED position. It will proceed
with the learning-cycle (two more runs) before finishing the programming. The CLOSING Soft-Stop will then be set as to your
adjustments.
Quick Reference „Disabling the TOP Soft-Mode“
1.) Set DIP-Switch No. 1 to OFF before starting the learning
cycle
2.) Start the learning cycle
3.) Set DIP-Switch No. 1 back to ON when the learning cycle is
completed
