3.2 Connecting up the control unit
The control unit may only be connected to the power supply by a
qualified electrician (according to the definition given in BGV A3, § 2
Subsection 3; applies only in Germany).
Risk of electric shock
Before working on the control unit, switch off the mains, check that it
is not live and prevent it from being switched back on.
Before connection, check that the mains voltage range of the control
unit is compatible with the local mains voltage.
Always connect up the control unit off-circuit.
The terminals in the control unit are only made for lines with rated
cross-sections of 1.5 mm² to 2.5 mm².
Only cut as much off the cap on the cable conduit as will leave it
sealed after the cable is inserted.
Only connect the control unit to the mains via a permanent cable with
all-pole isolation device. Comply with the current VDE and EN
standards (EN 12453) and the technical criteria for connection as
required by the regional electricity supply companies.
Mount the control unit and external command devices in the door area
so that the door can be watched during operation. But they must not be
within the door’s range of movement.
Static electricity can damage the electronic components on the board.
Before touching the board, touch a metallic, grounded object to
statically discharge yourself.
The control unit can be operated in automatic mode or in conjunction
with safety devices (minimum requirement: “safety contact strip”). If
there are no safety devices, the control unit must only be used in the
dead man mode!

3.3 Connecting the safety contact strip (Safety 1)
13en
RDCRDC
Safety contact strips are available in two models:
• Optical safety contact strip from FRABA (1) or
• Electrical 8kOhm safety contact strip (2)
The safety contact strip is attached to the closing edge of the door. It
protects people from getting caught at the closing edges and
prevents objects from getting damaged. As soon as it is activated
when the door is closing (by an obstacle or person), the control unit
stops the operator and changes the direction of travel. The setting of
DIP switches 3 and 4 determines how the control unit responds or
how far the door travels in the opposite direction when an obstacle is
encountered; see Chapter “6.15 Operator response to detected
obstacle”.
If the safety contact strip is activated, faulty or not connect ed, dead
man operation is automatically activated; see Chapter “4.1
Activate/deactivate dead man operation”.
4 Initial operation
Only a qualified electrician may work on the control unit (according to
the definition given in BGV A3, § 2 Subsection 3; applies only in
Germany).
Risk of electric shock
Do not touch live parts (ends of cables, contacts, etc.) if the control
unit is connected to the power supply.
Only switch the DIP switches when the control unit is off-circuit.
The control unit can be operated in automatic mode or in conjunction
with safety devices (minimum requirement: “safety contact strip”). If
there are no safety devices, the control unit must only be operated in
the dead man mode!
Document initial operation!
14 en
RDC
All DIP switches are set to “OFF” by factory default.
4.1 Activate/deactivate dead man operation
In the “dead man” mode the operator runs for as long as the
command button is pressed. The operator stops as soon as the
button is released. A handheld transmitter will not function when the
system is in dead man mode.
When DIP switch 7 is
• “ON”, dead man is activated;
• “OFF”, dead man is deactivated (automatic operation).
4.2 Controlling the motor direction
1. Activate dead man operation.
2. Press the Open or Close button. The door must run in the right
direction.
If the door runs in the opposite direction:
• disconnect the control unit from the mains;
• switch the lines on terminals 6 and 7.
15en
RDCRDC
4.3 Setting the motor limit switches
For information about the limit switches and setting them, see the
motor operating instructions.
1. Press the Open or Close button and keep it pressed until the door
reaches the end position.
2. If necessary, set the limit switch on the motor.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other direction.
4. Deactivate dead man operation.
4.4 Setting the run time (run time monitoring)
When DIP switch 8 is “OFF”, motor run time monitoring is
deactivated. Previously programmed run times are deleted and must
be reprogrammed. This is the case if a relay clicks audibly when the
door is not moving.
1. Set DIP switch 8 to “ON”.
2. Open and close the door to the end positions
Relay stops clicking when the motor is not running. Otherwise
repeat the step.
The run times in both directions are now programmed.
3. Leave DIP switch 8 “ON”. This means that the run times will be
monitored constantly and the control unit stops the operator if they
are exceeded.

6.6 Connecting the warning light
The warning light gets its power supply from the control unit
(AC 230 V, max. 80 W). It has two flashing patterns:
• slow (every second) while the door is moving and during the
warning;
• fast (every half-second) while the door is moving in the dead man
mode.
The warning light can be set on DIP switch 1 for when the door is
moving:
• to “OFF”: warning light flashes;
• to “ON”: warning light shines steadily.
6.7 Connecting the pre-limit switch
The pre-limit switch is mounted on the bottom of the door frame, max.
5 cm from the floor. After the pre-limit switch is activated (the door
overruns the position when closing) the safety contact strip must be
activated within 2 seconds or the operator goes into reverse; the door
opens.

6.8 Connecting the light barrier (Safety 2)
Light barriers are available in two models: DIP switch 2 must be set
accordingly:
• to “OFF”: light barriers with NC contact (1); or
• to “ON”: 2-wire light barriers (2)
One light barrier monitors the doorway. As soon as it is interrupted
(e.g., by a car or person), the control unit stops the operator or
changes the direction of travel; the setting on DIP switches 3 and 4
and the automatic close setting determine how the control unit
responds; see Chapter “6.15 Operator response to detected
obstacle”.
The function of the light barrier is tested by the control unit after the
door reaches its end position.
If the light barrier is interrupted, faulty or not connected, dead man
operation is automatically activated; see Chapter “4.1 Activate/
deactivate dead man operation”. LED2 (Safety) flashes twice
intermittently.
Place bridge between terminals 15 and 17 if a light barrier is not
connected. Set DIP switch 2 to “OFF”.

RDC
6.9 Connecting the EMERGENCY OFF switch
Caution
EMERGENCY OFF switch must be mounted where it is easy to see
and easy to reach.
Only use the connection for floating button contacts. External voltage
can damage or destroy the control unit.
When pressed, the EMERGENCY OFF switch stops the operator
immediately and terminates all control unit functions (including dead
man operation).
Place bridge between terminals 25 and 27 if an EMERGENCY OFF
switch is not connected.
6.10 Connecting the arrester
The arrester is installed in the door operator and can be connected to
the control unit. If it is, the control unit detects when the arrester kicks
in and blocks all control unit functions.
Place bridge between terminals 23 and 24 if an arrest er is not connected.

RDC
6.13 Warning function
If required, you can set how much warning you want using
potentiometer 1. While the warning time is running, the external
warning light flashes. When set all the way to the left, this function is
deactivated.
If automatic closing is activated, a minimum warning of 3 seconds is
given for safety reasons. Maximum warning (turn potentiometer 1
clockwise) is approx. 30 seconds.
6.14 Automatic closing function
If automatic closing is activated, the fully open door (“OPEN” end
position reached) automatically closes after the “stay open time” and
warning time has lapsed.
Important:
• Automatic closing can only be activated if a light barrier (Safety 2)
is connected.
• Automatic closing always begins after the “OPEN” end position.
• In the event of a persistent “OPEN” command (OPEN contact
closed), the fully open door remains in the “OPEN” end position.
Automatic closing does not start until the command is cancelled.
This function is used in conjunction with an external timer to keep
the door open for a certain length of time. After the time is up,
automatic closing starts again and the door closes.
31en
RDCRDC
6.14.1 Automatic closing function (with potentiometer 2)
Automatic closing is activated when potentiometer 2 is switched on
(turned clockwise). The potentiometer is switched off by factory
default (set all the way to the left). Turn it clockwise to set the stay
open time. The maximum stay open time is approx. 120 seconds).
During the stay open time, LED1 (Status) flashes once intermittently.
6.14.2 Automatic closing function (with pulse button)
Automatic closing is activated when
• DIP switch 5 is set to “ON”;
• the door is opened with the pulse button.
The stay open time is a constant 20 seconds. It can be changed
using TorMinal; see Chapter “6.12 TorMinal”.
6.14.3 Reduce waiting time before automatic closing
This function reduces the stay open time to 5 seconds when
automatic closing is activated if something passes through the light
barrier when the door is open. DIP switches 3 and 4 must be set to

7 Radio receiver
Each button on the handheld transmitter has a permanently stored
radio code (factory setting). When you program a button into the radio
receiver, the button’s radio code is transferred to the receiver, where
it is assigned a command.
For security reasons, you should completely wipe the radio receiver’s
memory
• before programming transmitters for the first time and
• if a transmitter gets lost.
The programmed commands are retained in the event of a power
failure.
7.1 Wiping the radio receiver’s memory
1. Press the program button (2) and hold it for 20 seconds
First LED3 (7) shines steadily, then beings to flash once
intermittently after 5 seconds, then shines steadily after
10 seconds and goes out after 20 seconds, which indicates
that the memory is wiped.
7.2 Programming the handheld transmitter to Open-Stop-
Close
1. Press the program button (2) for approx. 0.5 seconds.
LED3 (7) lights up. Program mode begins.
2. Select a function (Open, Stop, Close): Press button (3, 4 or 5).
LED1 (6) flashes once intermittently.

3. Press any button (1) on the transmitter.
LED3 (7) goes out.
LED1 (6) lights up.
The function you selected will be assigned to the button
you pressed.
4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for the other buttons on the transmitter and
other functions.
If no radio signal is sent within 10 seconds of the start of the program
mode, the program mode is terminated; LED3 (7) goes out.
7.3 Programming the handheld transmitter button to
pulse mode
1. Press the program button (2) for approx. 0.5 seconds.
LED3 (7) lights up. Program mode begins.
2. Press whichever button you want (1) on the transmitter.
LED3 (7) goes out. That button on the transmitter is
programmed as the pulse button. The command sequence is
(Open – Stop – Close – Stop – etc.).
If no radio signal is sent within 10 seconds of the start of the program
mode, the program mode is terminated; LED3 (7) goes out.
7.4 Wiping the handheld transmitter button
1. Press the program button (2) for 5 seconds
First LED3 (7) lights up, then flashes once intermittently
2. Press whichever button you want (1) to delete on the
transmitter.
LED3 (7) goes out. The button is deleted from the receiver’s
memory and now has no assigned function.
7.5 Wiping all handheld transmitter buttons
1. Press the program button (2) for 10 seconds
First LED3 (7) lights up, then flashes once intermittently and
then shines steadily again
