3.1 - Pre-installation checks

Before going ahead with the installation, check the integrity of the product components, and ensure the model chosen is suitable for its intended use and for the environment in which it is to be installed.

• Check that all the material to be used is in excellent condition and suitable for its intended use.

• Check that the ground-mounted mechanical stops are present both when opening and closing the automation system.

• Check that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for the installation of automation and compliant with locally applicable regulations (if necessary, refer to the label on the gate). This product cannot be used to automate a gate which is not already in good, safe working order, neither can it fix faults caused by incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the gate.

• Check that the operating conditions of the devices are compatible with the usage limitation declared (see paragraph 3.2).

• Move the gate leaves manually in both directions and ensure that the resistance to movement is constant at all points of travel (there should not be any points where more force or less is required).

• Bring the gate leaves manually into a position at random, then let go and check that they remain stationary.

• Check that the gearmotor fixing zone is compatible with its overall dimensions (fig. 1).

• Check that the place where the gearmotor is to be installed allows enough space for its arm to execute its full range of movement.

• Check that there is sufficient room around the gearmotor for it to be released manually when required.

• Ensure that the surfaces on which the various devices are to be installed are strong and capable of ensuring a firm hold.

• Ensure that each device is installed in a position which is protected and does not expose it to accidental impacts.

• Ensure that all the electrical cables to be used are the type listed in Table 1.

3.2 - Usage limitation

Before installing the gearmotor, check that its data complies with the usage limitation specified below and falls within the limits stated in the chapter entitled “Product technical specifications”:

With FULL LENGTH motor arm (as shipped from the factory)

- maximum width of leaf: 1.60 m (= maximum weight of leaf: 110 kg)

- maximum height of leaf: 2 m

With SHORTENED motor arm (cut by the installer)

- maximum width of leaf: 1.60 m (= maximum weight of leaf: 100 kg)

- maximum height of leaf: 2 m

• Check to run: apply to Graph 1 the weight and width of the leaf; plot two lines

from these points and check that they intersect in one of the two grey areas

the graph. Important! - If the lines cross in the white area, this product cannot be used to automate this particular gate.

• To enable the installation of the gearmotor, the minimum width

of the column

should be 80 mm.

• The gearmotor arm must be positioned in the upper part

of the gate leaf.

IMPORTANT! - The gearmotor must not be mounted upside down, i.e. with the arm pointing downwards.

• The arms fastening bracket must be fitted at one of the strongest parts of the leaf (e.g. the frame), in order to ensure a firm and safe hold;

• Check distance

“E” (fig. 7):

- If distance

“E” falls in the range 80 mm (minimum) to 299 mm (maximum),

the gearmotor arm will need to be shortened. In such conditions, the leaf will be able to open by up to 90°.

- If distance “E” is 300 mm or more, there is no need to shorten the gear- motor arm. In such conditions, the leaf will be able to open by up to 110°.

3.4 - Installation of the gearmotor mod. WL1024C - WL1024

WARNINGS

• Failure to install correctly can cause serious injury to the person carrying out the work and those using the system.

• Before starting to assemble the automation system, carry out the preliminary checks described in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2.

• The gearmotor arm can be shortened from the standard length provided. It needs to be reduced in length if there is a fixed obstacle close to the gearmotor (such as a wall or post) impeding the full range of movement of the arm. In order to establish whether the arm needs to be shortened,it is therefore necessary to follow the procedure in 3.4.1 before starting the installation

Assemble the component parts of the motor arm, referring to fig. 3. Do not insert the Benzing retaining ring at this stage (fig. 4). N.B.! - The curved arm

must be positioned with the curved part towards the gate leaf, as shown in fig. 5.

3.4.1 - Establishing the length of the gearmotor arm

01. Determine the VERTICAL position of the gearmotor: draw a horizontal

line on the column at the same height at which the fastening bracket for the arm will be located on the leaf once the installation is complete.

02. Determine the HORIZONTAL position of the gearmotor:

a) Determine the maximum opening position of the leaf

: determine the

maximum opening angle (maximum 110°).

b) Measure distance B and determine distance A

1 - Measure distance B

on the column (fig. 5). This is the distance

between the fulcrum of rotation of the gate leaf and the surface of the column where the rear bracket of the gearmotor will be fixed. 2 - On Graph 2A, mark distance B

, as just measured, and trace a vertical

line from this point until it intersects with the area

which includes the angle

value measured in point a. 3 - At the points where the vertical line intersects with the area

, trace horizontal lines across column “A”, to determine the values which can be used for distance A

. Then choose a value for A from this range, one of the smaller values if possible. 4 - Mark distance A

on the column and trace a vertical line corresponding

to it (fig. 6).

5 - If there is a wall or other immovable obstacle near the vertical line, measure the distance between this line and the obstacle (fig. 7): this is

distance E

IMPORTANT!

• If

distance E falls in the range 80 mm (minimum) to 299 mm (maxi-

mum), continue the installation with procedure 3.4.3

• If

distance E is 300 mm or more, continue the installation with pro-

cedure 3.4.2

5 - Release the gearmotor with the dedicated key (see chapter 3.8).

3.4.2 - Installation of a gearmotor with a STANDARD LENGTH ARM Important! - This part of the installation can only be carried out after 3.4.1

has been completed.

01. Affix the gearmotor to the column (fig. 9)

a) Hold the gearmotor against the column(*) so that its vertical centre line

corresponds with the vertical line traced earlier (distance A), and its arm corresponds with the horizontal line traced during procedure 3.4.1. Now ensure that the gearmotor is completely levelled: if off-axis, it can cause the automation to malfunction.

(*) Note - If the column surface is between 80 and 135 mm wide, then before continuing with the installation, the gearmotors rear fastening bracket will need to be rotated by 90°. To rotate the bracket, refer to fig. 8.

b) Mark the fastening points, drill the required holes in the surface of the column and insert the plugs; now fix the gearmotor in place using suitable screws and washers.

02. Affix the gearmotor arm to the gate leaf (fig. 9)

a) Bring the gate leaf into the fully Closed position; b) Open out the gearmotor arm to its maximum extension

;

c) Bring the arm up to the gate leaf and hold the fastening bracket against the leaf.

d) Ensure that the gearmotor arm is levelled properly, and use a pencil to mark the centre

of the slot profile on the bracket, to enable fine adjustments to be made to the closure alignment of the leaf in future (see paragraph 3.7).

e) Holding the bracket against the gate leaf with one hand, attempt to open and close the gate completely, up to the respective mechanical stops.

Important! - If the movement of the arm is hampered during the test by a wall or other fixed object, stop working on this procedure and go to procedure 3.4.3.

f) Drill holes in the gate leaf at the points marked and remove the bracket

from the arm and affix it to the gate leaf with suitable screws. g) Attach the arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and the Benzing retaining

ring. Important - Check that the bracket and the arm are completely level. Loosen the screws of the bracket and adjust as required to ensure level.

h) Fix the end stops to the ground permanently, in the position

determined

at the start of the procedure. Important! - Check that the gate leaf closes completely against the end stop. To make fine adjustments to the closure alignment, refer to paragraph 3.7.

i) Finally, bring the leaf manually to around its midpoint of travel and secure the gearmotor using the dedicated key (see chapter 3.8). Then manually open the leaf by a few more centimetres.

03. If the gate being automated has two leaves, then to install the other gearmotor repeat all the actions described here in chapter 3.4.

GRAPH 2A

3.4.3 - Installation of a gearmotor with a SHORTENED ARM Important! - This part of the installation can only be carried out after 3.4.1

has been completed.

01. Determine a new maximum opening angle for the gate leaf (max 90°)

ignoring the maximum opening position established for the leaf during procedure 3.4.1, bring the leaf to a new maximum opening position, ensuring that the angle does not exceed 90°. Then hold the gate leaf provisionally in this position using a ground-mounted stop.

02. Determine distances A - B - C

a) Measure distance B

(fig. 10) on the column. This is the distance

between the fulcrum of rotation of the gate leaf and the surface of the column where the rear bracket of the gearmotor will be fixed. b) On Graph 2B, mark distance B

as measured, and trace a vertical line

from this point. c) On the column, determine the value for distance A

, at which to mount

the rear bracket of the gearmotor (refer to fig. 11). N.B.! - Choose a value

for A, the smaller the better

, in order to keep the motor free of the obstacle. d) On Graph 2B, mark distance A

as just measured and plot a horizontal line from this point until it intersects with the vertical line traced earlier. The meeting point of these lines defines distance C

, i.e. the distance required

between the two pins on the slotted arm (fig. 12). Example from graph 2B:

if the value of B is 105 mm and A is 143 mm, then point C is 182.

03. Affix the gearmotor to the column (fig. 13)

a) Hold the gearmotor against the column (*) so that its vertical centre line

b) Mark the fastening points, drill the required holes in the surface of the column and insert the plugs; now fix the gearmotor in place using suitable screws and washers.

04. Shorten the slotted arm (fig. 14)

a) To reduce the length of the slotted arm to value C

(as established in point 02-d), unscrew the nut, remove the stop, adjust the two pins so that the distance between them is equal to value C, then fasten the nut in position provisionally.

05. Checking the length C of the slotted arm in this context (fig. 15 - 16)

a) Bring the gate leaf into the fully Closed position; b) Fully open the gearmotor arm to its maximum extent (see 15, phase 1); c) Bring the arm up to the gate leaf and hold the fastening bracket against

the leaf: Important!

- push the curved arm against the leaf, until it is

secured (maximum opening - see fig. 15, phase 1a). d) Ensure that the gearmotor arm is levelled properly, and use a pencil to

mark the centre

of the slot profile on the bracket, to enable fine adjustments to be made to the closure alignment of the leaf in future (see paragraph 3.7). e) Provisionally attach the bracket to the gate leaf and bring the leaf into its maximum opening position against the ground-mounted stop.

f) With the leaf in this position, perform the checks shown in fig. 16 (run a wire over the two pins of the slotted arm, as far as the leaf hinge). Impor- tant! - If, in relation to the hinge,

the wire appears in position “BB” as in fig. 16, it will be necessary to extend distance C by a few millimetres. This must be repeated until the wire reaches position “AA” as in fig. 16 and the arm is no longer obstructed by the wall or other fixed obstacles.

06. Cutting the slotted arm (fig. 17)

After checking that the articulation is operating correctly, cut the slotted arm in the following manner.

a) Trace a line on the slotted arm in the position exactly as indicated in fig. 23, phase 1. Then remove the arm from the bracket and cut the part of the

arm which is not required. b) Re-assemble the components of the arm (fig. 3).

07. Affix the gearmotor arm tot he gate leaf (fig. 18

a) Drill holes in the gate leaf at the points marked. b) Remove the bracket from the arm and affix it to the gate leaf with suit-

able screws. c) Attach the arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and the Benzing retaining ring. Important - Check that the bracket and the arm are completely level. Loosen the screws of the bracket and adjust as required to ensure level. d) Fix the end stops to the ground permanently, in the position

determined

at the start of the procedure. Important! - Check that the gate leaf closes completely against the end

stop. To make fine adjustments to the closure alignment, refer to paragraph

3.7. e) Finally, bring the leaf manually to around its midpoint of travel and secure

the gearmotor using the dedicated key (see chapter 3.8) Then manually open the leaf by a few more centimetres.

08. If the gate being automated has two leaves, then to install the other gearmotor repeat all the actions described here in chapter 3.4.

The electrical connection of the various devices (photocells, digital keyboards, transponder card readers, etc.) of the automation system with a control unit is carried out with the Nice “Bluebus” system. This system makes it possible to carry out the electrical connections with the use of just 2 wires along which both the electricity supply and the communication signals travel. The electrical connection to be used is parallel and does not require any polarity to be observed. During the recognition phase, every device connected to the control unit will be recognised individually by the latter, thanks to a univocal code. Every time a device is added or removed, you must carry out the control unit recognition phase (see paragraph 4.7).

02. Loosen the screws on the bracket and move it by a few millimetres towards

the gearmotor;

03. Then replace the slotted arm in the bracket, close the leaf and check that it

is both aligned with the other leaf and in contact with the end stop. Impor- tant! - If necessary, repeat point 02 until an optimum alignment is achieved;

04. Drill a hole in the leaf, to correspond to the hole in the centre of the fasten-

ing bracket, and insert a screw. Then fix the bracket permanently in place by tightening the three screws;

05. Finally, attach the slotted arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and the Ben-

zing retaining ring.

3.8 - Securing and releasing the gearmotor manually

The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the gate to be opened and closed manually.

These manual operations are required in the event of power cuts, operational faults, or during installation.

Releasing (fig. 22-A):

01. Rotate the release disc clockwise by 90°;

02. Insert the key into the release pin;

03. Turn the key by almost a full turn clockwise.

04. Remove the key from the pin and rotate the release disc anticlockwise by

90° so that the hole is blocked.

05. The gate leaf can now be moved manually into the required position.

Securing (fig. 22-B):

01. Turn the key anticlockwise in the release pin and move the gate leaf manu-

ally until you can hear the leaf engage mechanically with the drive mechanism.

02. Remove the key from the pin and rotate the release disc anticlockwise by

90° so that the hole is blocked.

4.1 - Description of the electrical connections (fig. 23)

M1 gearmotor output 1 ELS output for 12 VAC electrical lock (max 15 VA). [*] BLUEBUS input for compatible devices (MOFB, MOFOB, MOB and MOTB) STOP input for devices which, when activated, cause the manoeuvre in

progress to halt immediately, followed by a brief inversion; possibility of connecting NO, NC contacts or devices with a 8.2 kΩ con- stant resistance output (sensitive edges). Each device connected to this input is recognised individually by the control unit during the recognition phase (paragraph 4.7); after this phase, if the control unit detects any variation with respect to the status recognised, it causes a STOP. One or more devices - including different ones can be connected to this input: – several NO devices can be connected in parallel, with no limits as to quantity; – several NC devices can be connected in parallel, with no limits as to quantity; – 2 devices with a 8.2 kΩ constant resistance output can be con- nected in parallel. If there are more than 2 devices, they need to be connected in a cascade configuration with a single termination resistance of 8.2 kΩ; – 2 NO and NC devices can be connected in parallel, connecting in series with the NC contact a 8.2 kΩ resistance (this makes the combination of 3 NO - NC and 8.2 kΩ devices possible)

P. P. input for control devices which, when activated, cause the Step-

step manoeuvre to take place; possibility of connecting NO contacts

AERIAL input for the aerial of a radio receiver [*] The ELS output can be programmed with other functions using the Oview

programmer (see chapter 8.3).

4.2 - Connecting the power cable

WARNING: The electricity supply line must be equipped with a device which ensures the complete disconnection of the automation system from the mains. The disconnection devices contacts must have an opening distance which is sufficient to achieve full disconnection in category III overload conditions, in conformance with the rules of installation. When the need arises, this device ensures that the power is disconnected quickly and safely; it must therefore be positioned where it can be seen from the automation system. If, however, it is not located in a visible position, it must be provided with a system to prevent the power supply being reconnected accidentally or without authorisation, in order to avoid any risk. The product is not supplied with a disconnection device.

IMPORTANT!

– The connection must be carried out exclusively by qualified experts. – All electrical connections must be carried out without any mains electri-

cal power supply and with the back-up battery disconnected - where present in the automation system.

01. Access the power unit by undoing the 3 screws in the gearmotors upper

cover and slowly rotate the cover in the direction of the arrow (fig. 24), keeping a careful eye on the cables underneath;

02. Connect the phase and neutral wires to the power unit terminal board, observing the instructions on the label; close the earth cable grommet using the screw (fig. 25): care required! -the terminal should be pointing towards the opening from which the power cable emerges;

03. Then pull the power cable towards the control unit, so that it is just long enough to allow the power unit to rotate and the cover to close;

04. Close the power unit cover; tighten the screws on the cable gland; insert the control unit into its seat, and remount the cable sleeve support;

Important! - Fasten the cover of the power unit with all the screws and ensure that the seal is well positioned in its seat. If the seal or one of the screws is missing, this can compromise the electronics inside.

4.3 - Connecting the gearmotor without a control unit mod.

WL1024

01. Remove the lower cover of the gearmotor without control unit, as shown in

fig. 19;

02. Using a Phillips screwdriver, undo the 4 screws of the cable sleeve support

and remove it (important! - do not lose the 2 spacers).

03. Loosen the two screws on the cable gland and feed the connection cable

through; connect the 3 cables to the terminal board, observing the symbols as labelled; then tighten the screws of the cable gland.

04. Adjust the 2 feet inside the gearmotor with an Allen key, until they are fully

resting on the column (fig. 20, phase 5).

05. Insert the 6 rubber plugs (provided in the bag containing the small parts) in

the holes in the cable sleeve support; cut the edge of the cable sleeve support (fig. 20, phase 6); put the 2 spacers back into position; remount the cable sleeve support and replace the gearmotors lower cover.

4.4 - Connecting other devices

If you need to power further devices in the system, such as a transponder card reader or the light for the key selector, these devices can be connected to the

6 – English

control unit on terminals “P.P. (positive)” and “STOP (negative)” (fig. 26). The supply voltage varies from 18 to 31 VDC when mains or solemyo operated and from 11 to approx. 14 VDC when operating on back-up battery PS424. The maximum available current is 200 mA.

Note – The voltage available in terminals “P.P.” and “STOP” remains present even when the “Stand By” function is activated on the board.

4.5 - Addressing the connected devices

To allow the control unit to recognise the devices connected to the Bluebus system, these devices need to be addressed. This must be done by correctly positioning the electric jumper of each device, referring to the respective instruction manual of each individual device.

4.6 - Initialisation and connection check

Once you have powered the control unit, carry out the following checks:

• after a few seconds, check that the “Bluebus” LED (fig. 26) flashes regularly

at a frequency of 1 flash per second;

• check that the LEDs of the photocells, both TX and RX, emit flashes. The type of flashing emitted, at this stage, is not significant;

• check that the WLT multi-purpose lamp is turned off (set on flashing function) and connected to the FLASH output on the power supply.

If this does not happen, cut off the electricity supply to the control unit and check the various electrical connections previously carried out.

4.7 - Recognition of the connected devices

Once initialisation is complete, the control unit must recognise the devices connected to the “Bluebus” and “Stop” inputs.

IMPORTANT! – The recognition phase must be carried out even if the control unit is not connected to any devices.

The control unit is designed to recognise individually the various devices connected to it thanks to the recognition procedure and it can also detect with a very high degree of precision any possible problems. Consequently, the recognition of devices must be carried out each time a device is connected or removed. LEDs “L1” and “L2” on the control unit (fig. 26) emit slow flashes to indicate that recognition needs to be carried out:

01. Press and keep pressed keys “” and “Set” (fig. 26) simultaneously.

02. Release the keys when LEDs “L1” and “L2” begin to flash quickly (after

approximately 3 seconds).

03. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to complete the device recognition

phase.

04. At the end of this phase, the “Stop” LED should be turned on and LEDs

“L1” and “L2” should turn off (LEDs “L3” and “L4” may start to flash).

4.8 - Recognition of the positions of the mechanical stops

After the recognition of devices (paragraph 4.7), the control unit must recognise the positions of the mechanical stops (maximum Opening and maximum Closure); During this phase, the angle of aperture of the leaf is detected from the closing mechanical stop to the opening mechanical stop. It is vital that the mechanical stops are fixed and sufficiently sturdy.

01. Identify the figure corresponding to your system in Table 2, fix the electric

jumpers JA and JB in place on the control unit, in the position as indicated in this figure.

02. Release the gearmotors with the dedicated keys (see chapter 3.8) and

bring the leaves to their midpoint of travel so that they are free to open and close; then secure the gearmotors.

03. On the control unit, press and keep keys “Set” and “” pressed simulta-

neously;

04. When LEDs “L3” and “L4” begin to flash quickly, (after approximately 3

secs.) release the keys;

05. Check that the automated system performs the following sequences of

manoeuvres:

a - Slow closure of gearmotor M1 to the mechanical stop b - Slow closure of gearmotor M2 to the mechanical stop c - Slow opening of gearmotor M2 and gearmotor M1 to the mechanical

stop d - Complete quick closure of gearmotors M1 and M2

• If the first manoeuvre of one or both leaves is not a closing movement, press any key to halt the recognition phase and check the positioning of electric jumpers JA and JB referring to Table 2; otherwise, check the polarity of the motor without control unit (mod. WL1024).

• If the first motor to start the closing movement is not M1, press any key to halt the recognition phase and check the positioning of electric jumpers JA and JB, referring to Table 2.

• If a device is activated during the recognition phase (photocells, key selector, pressing of a key, etc.), the recognition phase is immediately halted. It must be repeated in full.

06. At the end of the closing manoeuvre of both motors (d), LEDs “L3” and

“L4” switch off to indicate that the procedure was completed successfully.

4.9 - Gate leaves motion check

At the end of the recognition of the positioning of the mechanical stops, we recommend you make the control unit perform a few opening and closing manoeuvres, in order to ensure the gate moves correctly, to check for any assembly and adjustment defects or other problems:

01. Press the Open key (fig. 26) and check that the Opening manoeuvre

includes an acceleration phase, a phase at constant velocity, a deceleration phase and that the leaves stop against the opening mechanical end stop.

02. Press the Close key (fig. 26) and check that the closing manoeuvre

includes an acceleration phase, a phase at constant velocity, a deceleration phase and that the leaves stop against the closing mechanical end stop.

03. Check, during manoeuvres, that the flashing performs certain flashes at 0.5 second intervals with the flashing on and 0.5 seconds with the flashing off.

These are the most important phases in the installation of the automation system, in order to guarantee maximum system safety. Testing can also be used to check the devices in the automation system regularly. The automation system testing and commissioning phases must be carried out by qualified experts who must be responsible for determining the tests necessary to check the solutions adopted vis-à-vis the risks involved, and to check the observance of all legal and regulatory obligations: in particular all the requirements of the EN 12445 standard which sets forth the test methods for checking automated gates. Additional devices must undergo specific testing, both in terms of functionality as well as their correct interaction with WALKY.; please refer to the relevant individual instruction manuals.

TESTING AND COMMISSIONING

Overlapping leaf

Control unit

TABLE 2

English – 7

5.1 - Testing

The sequence of steps to take to carry out testing refers to a typical system (fig. 2): 1 Release the gearmotors manually and check that when you operate the

leaf, at the point designed especially for the manual manoeuvre, the leaves can either be opened or closed with a force of less than 390 N.

2 Check that the leaf, when left in any position along its travel, does not

move.

3 Secure the gearmotors (see chapter 3.8). 4 Check that the screw connections are screwed in tightly. 5 Using the control devices (transmitter, command button, key selector, etc.),

perform some Gate Opening, Closing and Stop tests, making sure the movement of the leaves corresponds with each test. It is a good idea to carry out several tests in order to evaluate the movement of the leaves and pinpoint any assembly or adjustment defects as well as to check for any particular points of friction.

6 Check one by one that all the safety devices in the system work properly

(photocells, sensitive edges, etc.). When a device is activated, the “BLUEBUS” LED on the control unit emits two quicker flashes to confirm that recognition has taken place.

7 If the hazardous situations caused by the movement of the leaves have

been safeguarded by limiting the force of impact, the force must be measured in accordance with the EN 12445 standard and, if necessary, if the control of the “gearmotor force” is used as an aid to the system to reduce the force of impact, try and then find the adjustment that achieves the best results.

8 Affix permanently a label describing how to release the gearmotor manual-

ly in an area adjacent to the automation system.

5.2 - Commissioning

Commissioning can only take place once all the testing phases have been carried out successfully.

1 Put together the automation systems technical file, which should include

the following documents: an overall diagram of the automation system, the diagram of the electrical connections made, the current risk analysis and the related solutions adopted, the manufacturers declaration of conformity for all the devices used and the declaration of conformity filled in by the installer.

2 Affix a data plate onto the gate which specifies the following information, at

least: the type of automation system, the name and address of the manufacturer (responsible for the commissioning), the serial number, the year of manufacture and the EC mark.

3 Fill in the declaration of conformity of the automation system and hand it

over to its owner.

4 Fill in and hand over to the owner of the automation system the “Users

guide” of the automation system.

5 Fill in and hand over to the owner of the automation system the “Mainte-

nance schedule” which contains instructions on the maintenance of all the

devices in the automation system.

6 Before commissioning the automation system, inform the owner of all the

hazards and residual risks entailed.

For all the documentation mentioned, the Nice technical support service provides the following: instruction manuals, guides and precompiled forms. Also visit: www.nice-service.com

TABLE 5 - Level one functions

LED Function Description

L1 Automatic close

L2 Close after photo

L3 Always close

L4 Stand by (Bluebus)

Function ACTIVATED: after an opening manoeuvre, there is a pause (equal to the programmed pause Time) after which the control unit auto- matically performs a closing manoeuvre. The factory set pause time is 30 sec. Function

DEACTIVATED: operation is “semi-automatic”.

Function

ACTIVATED: if the photocells are activated during an opening or closing manoeuvre, the pause time is reduced to 5 sec. irrespective of

the programmed “pause time”. With the “automatic close” function deactivated, if the photocells are activated during the closing manoeuvre, the “automatic close” is activated with the programmed “pause time”.

Function

ACTIVATED: in the event of a power cut, albeit brief, when the electricity supply returns the control unit detects the open gate and auto-

matically starts a closing manoeuvre, after 5 sec. of pre-flashing. Function

DEACTIVATED: when the electricity supply returns, the gate will remain as is.

Function

ACTIVATED: 1 minute after the manoeuvre is finished, the control unit turns off the “Bluebus” output (connected devices) and all LEDs

except for the Bluebus LED which will flash more slowly. When the control unit receives a command, it restores normal operation (with a short delay). This function is designed to reduce consumption levels, which is a key feature when battery or photovoltaic panel powered.

There are three keys on the control unit. These are OPEN (), STOP (SET) and CLOSE () and they can be used to operate the control unit during the testing phases as well as for programming the functions available. The programmable functions available are arranged on 2 levels and their operating status is indicated by the 4 LEDs (L1 ... L4) on the control unit (LED on = function activated; LED off = function deactivated).

Use the programming keys (fig. 26): OPEN (): – key to control the gate opening; – selection key during the pro-

gramming phase. STOP/SET: key to stop a manoeuvre; when pressed for more than 5 seconds,

it allows you to enter the programming phase.

CLOSE (): – key to control the gate closing; – selection key during the pro- gramming phase.

6.1 - Level one programming (ON-OFF)

All level one functions are programmed at the factory to “OFF” and can be changed at any time. To check the various functions please see Table 5. For the programming procedure, please see Table 6.

Note – These procedures can be performed again at any time, even after a new device has been connected to the control unit.

IMPORTANT – The programming procedure has a maximum time of 10 seconds between one key and another being pressed. After this time, the procedure ends automatically, storing the changes made up until that moment.
