3.2 Connecting 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).

Always connect the control unit off-circuit.

Only connect the control unit to the mains over an all-pole isolation device. Always ensure compliance with the current VDE and EN standards (EN 12453:2000) and the technical criteria for connection as required by the regional electricity supply companies.

Before connection, check that the mains voltage range of the control unit is compatible with the local mains voltage.

Install the control unit and external command devices in the door area so that the door can be watched during operation. However, they must not be installed 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 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 operated in dead man mode!

Only cut as much off the cap on the cable conduit so that it will still be sealed after the cable is inserted.

Always use a strain relief when connecting the cable (included in delivery).

3.3 Connecting the safety contact strip (Safety 1)

Safety contact strips are available in two models:

• Optical safety contact strip from FRABA (1) or

• Electrical 8 kOhm safety contact strip (2)

The safety contact strip is attached to the closing edge of the door. It protects persons against the risk of entrapment from the closing edges and prevents damage to objects. 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 “Activating dead man operation”.

4 Initial operation

Only a qualified electrician (in compliance with BGV A3,

§ 2 Subsection 3; only applies in Germany) may work on the

control unit.

Risk of electric shock

Do not touch live parts (ends of cables, contacts, etc.) while the control unit is still connected to the power supply.

Only switch the DIP switches when the control unit has been disconnected from the main power supply.

Document initial operation!

• Before starting initial operation, switch all DIP switches to “OFF” (factory default setting).

4.1 Activating dead man operation

In “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 transmitter will not function when the system is in dead man mode.

Activate dead man operation: DIP switch 7 “ON”.

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.

4.5 Wiping the radio receiver’s memory

For security reasons, you should completely wipe the radio receiver’s memory:

• before programming transmitters for the first time and

• if a transmitter is lost.

6.3.5 Start button

In pulse mode, the Start button is used to activate the signals for opening and closing.

Command sequence: Open – Stop – Close – Stop etc.

The first command after switching on the control unit (Power ON) is “Open”.

6.4 Connecting the warning light and the lighting

1. Internal lighting

2. External warning light

The external warning light is powered over the control unit (230V AC, max. 40 W). It has two flashing patterns:

• slow (every 2 seconds) while the door is moving and during the early warning function;

• fast (every half-second) while the door is moving in dead man mode.

The warning light during door movement can be set over DIP switch 1:

• to “OFF”: warning light flashes;

• to “ON”: warning light shines steadily.

The internal lighting (230 V AC, max. 15 W) behaves in the same way as the external warning light and has the same flashing pattern.

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 “Activating dead man operation”. Safety LED flashes twice intermittently.

Place bridge between terminals 29 and 31 if a light barrier is not connected. Set DIP switch 2 to “OFF”.

6.9 Connecting the EMERGENCY OFF switch

Caution

The EMERGENCY OFF switch must be mounted where it is easily visible and accessible.

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 a bridge between terminals 22 and 24 if an EMERGENCY OFF switch is not connected.

6.10 Connecting the arrester

The arrester is installed in the door and can be connected to the control unit. Through this connection, the control unit detects when the arrester kicks in and blocks all control unit functions.

Install a bridge between terminals 20 and 22 if no arrest er is connected.

6.13 Setting the early warning function

If required, you can set the early warning function over potentiometer

1. While the early warning function is running, the internal lighting and

the external warning light flash. When set all the way to the left, this function is deactivated.

If automatic closing is activated, a minimum warning of 4 seconds is given for safety reasons. Maximum time for the early warning function (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 this time is up, automatic closing starts again and the door closes.

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, the Status LED flashes once intermittently.

6.14.2 Automatic closing function (with pulse button)

Automatic closing is activated when

• DIP switch 5 is set to “ON” and

• 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 Reducing the interval 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 “ON”.

In some cases, you might like a short stay open time, e.g., when driving the car into the underground parking lot of an apartment block at night.
