1. INTRODUCTION

The universal self-learning UNIK2E control unit has been designed for the automation of an access with 1 or 2

12VDC (24VDC)* motors with or without limit switches. Its innovative self-learning procedure makes for

quick and easy installation and its three trimmers permit fine adjustment of all main parameters: force

(or speed), pause time, obstacle detection sensitivity and closing delay between the two leaves of the

gate when two motors are used.

The following are available:

- simplified programming, thanks to which the unit automatically performs a learning operation to acquire running time and determine slow-down setting at ninety percent of opening and closing runs;

- A professional programming in which the installer can determine the instant in which the gate starts to

slow-down, the enabling of the pedestrian opening via radio, the safety device trigger mode.

5. CONTROL UNIT OPERATING LOGIC (ANALYTIC EXAM)

5.1 PROGRAMMING AND CANCELLATION OF THE REMOTE CONTROLS

With the receiver built into the control box, Prastel dip-switch, fixed code and rolling code remote controls can be indifferently learned.

5.1.1

Programming

Power the control panel and with the automation stopped (green LED GC turned on):

• Press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton: the red LED lights up to indicate that the programming is activated.

• Make a transmission by pressing one of the pushbuttons on the transmitter

• The code is memorised. During code insertion, the red LED flashes slowly. At the end, the red LED returns to a fixed light to indicate that a new remote control can be inserted.

• Memorise all the transmitters by carrying out a transmission with a chosen channel.

• At the end of the operation press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton again to exit the procedure. The red LED switches off.

ATTENTION: The exit from the procedure occurs automatically 10 seconds after the last transmission.

5.1.2

Total cancellation of the codes

• Press and hold down the “P2/RAD” pushbutton for 3 seconds; the red LED starts flashing quickly.

• Press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton again (within 6 seconds) to confirm the cancellation. The confirmation is signalled when the red LED starts flashing more rapidly.

5.1.3

Enabling new remote “Rolling Code” transmitters (RPA)

To enable a new transmitter without intervening on the receiver, a transmitter already enabled for the

•

•

•

•

• authorisation must be used (MPSTP2E, MPSTL2E, MPSTL4E, MT2E, MT4E, TRQ2 or TRQ4).

•

With this authorised transmitter, press and release the RPA learning pushbutton (also see the instructions of the TX used).

Carry out this operation 5-6 metres from the receiver (the LED signals the activation).

Transmit by pressing one of the channel pushbuttons of the new transmitter to be enabled.

Enable all the new transmitters by pressing a pushbutton on each one of them.

The exit from the procedure occurs automatically 10 seconds after the last transmission.

Check the effective programming of the transmitters by carrying out an opening manoeuvre with each of them.

5.1.4

Choosing the transmitter pushbutton

To select the radio channel that will activate the manoeuvre cycle set DIP 1 and 2 as follows:

DIP- SWITCH 1

DIP- SWITCH 2 Pushbutton Active

5.2 OPERATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICES

5.2.1

Photocell (PHO input)

When triggered, the photocell provokes:

- in closing phase, an inversion of the motion, either immediate or when cleared, according to the programming,

- in opening phase it has no effect,

- when the access is closed it has no effect on the opening commands if set for immediate inversion, otherwise it delays the opening until it is cleared,

- if the access is open it inhibits the closing commands.

The control unit has a function of rapid access closing after the triggering of the photocell (see paragraph 5.3.4).

5.2.2

Safety in Opening (EDG/PED input)

Safety devices can be connected (self-testing or not) to the “EDG/PED” input on the control unit (e.g. fixed wire ribs, pneumatically-operated ribs, etc.).

The safety acts as follows:

- in closing phase it has no effect

- in opening phase it provokes an inversion of direction for 2 seconds,

- when the gate is closed the opening commands are inhibited,

8

ISUNIK2Ev2_GB_02_09.doc

UNIK2E

V2

ENGLISH

- when the gate is open the closing commands are inhibited,

Using the professional learning, the EDG/PED input can be set as internal photocell:

- in closing phase it provokes an inversion of direction when cleared,

- in opening phase it provokes a STOP and opening continues when cleared,

- when the gate is closed it delays opening until it is cleared,

- when the access is open it inhibits the closing commands.

5.2.3

Safeties Self-test

The control unit has a self-test function of the safeties connected to the “PHO” input of the control unit; it switches off the transmitter to check the commutation of the corresponding receiver contact before the execution of each manoeuvre. In this case, the “gate open warning light” is not available.

To activate this self-test function proceed as follows:

- switch DIP 8 “PHTEST” to ON

- connect the positive of the photocell transmitter power to terminal 10 (“+TX”)

With the Self-test function active the photocell transmitters are only powered when the manoeuvre is

taking place, thus giving a major saving of energy.

If the enabling of the safety self-test is not required

- switch DIP 8 “PHTEST” to OFF

- connect the positive of the photocell transmitter power to the terminal 9 (“+V”)

5.3 TRIMMER “FOR”- MOTOR SPEED

Trimmer “FOR” adjusts the voltage applied to the motors during operations, which means adjusting the speed of the motors.

With the trimmer turned fully counter-clockwise the speed of the motor if 50% of the maximum speed.

With the trimmer at half travel the speed of the motor if 50% of the maximum speed.

ATTENZION: Changing the setting of trimmer “FOR” requires repeating the learning procedure, since the travel times and the slow-down start times change.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE

Speed 50% Speed 75% Speed 100%

5.4 TRIMMER “DEL”- DELAY BETWEEN MOTORS

Trimmer “DEL” can be used to adjust the delay between the two motors in opening and closing operations.

If the trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, the delay is 0 both in opening and in closing, and the two leaved will move together. In all the other positions of the trimmer, the delay in opening is 3 seconds and the delay in closing varies from 0 to 15 seconds according to the position of the knob.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE delay 0 in opening delay 0 in closing delay 3 seconds in opening delay 7 seconds in closing delay 3 seconds in opening delay 15 seconds in closing

5.5 TRIMMER “PAU” - “OPENING AND CLOSING” OPERATING MODE

5.5.1

Time controlled automatic closing mode

Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to ON.

Set the “PAU” trimmer in an intermediate position according to the pause time desired. The pause time can be set between 3 and 60 seconds and is increased by rotating the trimmer clockwise.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE pause time about 1 sec. pause time about 30 sec. pause time about 60 sec.

In this mode, if a command is received via radio or via the “STR” input, the control unit does the following:

- drives the two motors without 2 nd

motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a

2 nd

motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

9

ISUNIK2Ev2_GB_02_09.doc

UNIK2E

V2

ENGLISH

- opening stops when the limit switches or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed. If other commands are given during opening they will have no effect.

- with the automation stopped and in automatic pause each time the timer re-starts from zero.

Once the pause time has elapsed, the closing manoeuvre takes place and the control unit:

- carries out a 1 second fixed pre-flash

- drives the two motors with a 2 nd

motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

- if another command is given during closing the control unit commands a complete re-opening.

- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.

ATTENTION: Maintaining the opening contact (“STR” terminal) closed, with a temporised relay for example, the control unit will command opening and the automation will remain open with automatic closing disabled until the contact is re-opened again (Company Function).

5.5.2

Step by step mode without automatic closing

Switch the dip-switch 6 to ON and the dip-switch 7 to OFF.

The step by step command sequence is OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP

The opening and closing manoeuvres take place as described in the previous paragraph.

5.5.3

Step by step mode with automatic closing

Switch the dip-switch 6 to ON and the dip-switch 7 to ON.

The step-step logic is OPEN/STOP/CLOSE/STOP.

When the opening manoeuvre has been completed and the pause time set on the PAU trimmer has elapsed the control unit effects automatic closing. If, when the automation is closed, a radio command is given, either through the “STR” input command or the START pushbutton on the board, the control unit:

- commands a one second fixed pre-flash

- drives the two motors without 2 nd

motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a

2 nd

motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

- opening stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervene or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed or with a radio or manual command. In the latter case the control unit disables the automatic closing and another command must be given to re-start the manoeuvre. If the automation is completely open, once the pause time has elapsed the closing manoeuvre takes place. The control unit:

- commands a 1 second fixed pre-flash

- drives the two motors with a 2 nd

motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.

5.5.4

Automatic closing and rapid re-closing mode

Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to ON.

Switch the dip-switch 3 to ON.

The control unit does the following: a) if the photocell is triggered during opening, the control unit continues the opening, and when the photocell is cleared effects a STOP followed, after one second, by the re-closure. b) if the photocell is triggered during standby with the gate open, when the photocell is cleared, after one second, automatic re-closure occurs. c) if the photocell is triggered during closure, the control unit effects an inversion and, when the photocell is cleared, it effects a STOP followed, after one second, by the re-closure.

If during the opening cycle or during the pause the photocell is not triggered, the pause time is as set on the

“PAU” trimmer.

5.5.5

OPEN-CLOSE-OPEN mode

Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to OFF.

If, when the automation is closed, a radio command is given, either through the “STR” input command or the

START pushbutton on the board, the control unit:

- commands a one second fixed pre-flash

- drives the two motors without 2 nd

motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a

2 nd

motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

- opening stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed. If other commands are given during opening they will have no effect.

When the automation is completely open, to start closing give a radio or manual command and the control unit:

- commands a 1 second fixed pre-flash

- drives the two motors with a 2 nd

motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer

10

ISUNIK2Ev2_GB_02_09.doc

UNIK2E

V2

ENGLISH

- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

- if a command is given during closing the control unit commands the complete re-opening

- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.

5.6 “PEDESTRIAN OPENING” FUNCTION

The pedestrian function can be assigned with the professional learning to channel 2/3/4 of the remote control.

With a “PEDESTRIAN OPENING” (“EDG/EDG” terminal) command on the input, the control unit commands an

opening for the first leaf for a time of:

- 5 seconds if no learning has been carried out,

- complete opening if a simplified learning has been carried out

- that set by the installer if a professional learning has been carried out.

Closing is triggered by a manual command, or automatically if the automatic closing function is enabled. The complete opening command has always priority over the pedestrian opening, therefore if, during a pedestrian manoeuvre a complete opening command is received, the control unit will command a complete opening of the automation.

5.7 TRIMMER “OBS” - “OBSTACLE SENSITIVITY” DETECTION

The “OBS” TRIMMER is used to adjust at the same time the delay time of intervention after an obstacle has been detected and the threshold of the counter-force against the operator necessary to trigger the intervention.

Both the counter-force and the delay time increase when the trimmer is turned clockwise. The delay time can be adjusted between 0.1 and 3 seconds. This function is useful to overcome any critical points of the operator which cause a higher power absorption by the motor for a short time.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE delay time about 0,1 sec. delay time about 1,5 sec. delay time about 3 sec.

If electric limit switches are present, the obstacle detector will provoke an inversion of the motion in closing and a 2 second inversion in opening.

If there are no electric limit switches the obstacle detector provokes:

- in closing an inversion of the motion unless it is in the last five seconds of the manoeuvre, where does a STOP

- in opening an inversion of the motion for 2 seconds unless it is in the last five seconds of the manoeuvre, where does a STOP.

The control unit has two output terminals (LAMP) to command a low voltage flashing light. The light start flashing 1 second before each opening manoeuvre and 1 second before each closing manoeuvre.

If the dip-switch 5 is in the OFF position the power supply to the flashing light is continuous. Therefore the terminals must be connected to a low voltage flashing light with a built-in oscillating circuit (type FEBOLIX 12VDC 2W).

If the dip-switch 5 is in the ON position the power supply is intermittent and therefore a normal lamp without oscillating circuit can be connected (12VDC, Max 10W). During the closing manoeuvre, the flashing frequency is twice as fast as that during opening.

The flashing light is only activated during movement. If AC mains power supply is missing and the unit works under battery power supply, the flashing light will only flash for the first 4 seconds of the manoeuvre.

5.9 GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT

If the safety device self-test is not used (DIP 8 “PHTEST” is OFF), the output +TX (terminal 10) acts as a

GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT. Connect a 12V lamp (max. 3W) to terminals 10 (“+TX”) and 9 (“COMMON”) of the control unit. The status of the lamp is as follows:

- If the access is closed the light is switched off

- If the access is open or opening the lamp is alight with a fixed light

- If the access is closing the lamp flashes

5.10 SLOW-DOWN

The slow-down function allows the gate to apply a reduced force before reaching the limit stop. The speed is reduced to about one third of the normal working speed.

The slow-down function can be enabled or not during the Professional Learning procedure. With this control unit the slow-down start can be selected independently for the two leaves, both in opening and closing.

Using the ELU expansion card an electric lock can be managed. The contact given by the ELU card is clean and allows the managing of electric locks of 12 or 24 Volt max.15W according to the output voltage of the

11

ISUNIK2Ev2_GB_02_09.doc

UNIK2E

V2

ENGLISH

transformer. The command is given before every opening manoeuvre for 2 seconds, and before every reopening caused by the triggering of a photocell or safety device.

Using dip-switch 4 on the card, the kick-back and the final stroke at the end of the closing manoeuvre can be enabled or not.

Dip-switch 4 in ON position: kick-back and final stroke enabled

Dip-switch 4 in OFF position: kick-back and final stroke disabled.

Using the LCU expansion card a courtesy light can be managed. The contact given by the LCU card is clean and allows a 230VAC max.500W lamp to be managed. The command to switch on the courtesy light is given before every manoeuvre and the contact remains activated for about 120 seconds from opening.

5.13 BUFFER BATTERY – SOLAR PANEL MANAGEMENT

The UNIK control unit is fitted with an automatic 13.7VDC battery charger, for which a 12V battery must be used, even for 24VDC motors. In this case, when there is no mains power the gate will travel at half normal speed and the accessories will be powered at 12VDC. The 12V 1.2Ah buffer battery (pre-arranged in the UNIK box) allows a maximum of 5 reduced-speed manoeuvres should the mains power supply be cutoff (as long as the interruption occurred less than 24 hours earlier). The control unit can manage batteries up to 7Ah (20-30 complete manoeuvres). The flashing light, when present, only functions for the first 4 seconds of the manoeuvre. A solar panel can be directly connected to the control unit with a current regulator. The solar panel input is already protected by a diode.

5.14 LOGICAL STOP (STP INPUT)

The activation of the STOP input stops all the functions.

To resume the cycle the STOP must be deactivated and another command given.

5.15 CONTROL UNIT MEMORY FAULT

The EEPROM memory contains the control unit operating parameters, the codes, the logic and the memory of the radio receiver. When the control unit is turned on, should there be a fault in the EEPROM memory, the red

LED flashes and all manoeuvres are blocked.

The Reset function must be executed (press and hold the programming button P1/SET for 2 seconds, until the yellow LED flashes).

If the red LED turns of, the EEPROM is good, but all programming of parameters and learning of transmitters must be done again.

If the red LED still flashes, an authorised service centre should be contacted.

6. SIGNALLING LED

Yellow led SET:

- flashes for 5 seconds when turned on to indicate that it is possible to enter the Professional or Simplified

Learning modes.

- lights up with a fixed light while Professional or Simplified Learning are carried out.

- is turned off when the control unit functions normally.

Red led ER:

- is turned off during normal control unit operations

- is alight (fixed light) when the control unit is blocked because it has failed the safety test or a motor is disconnected

Red led RAD:

- flashes briefly when a 433 MHz Multipass radio code is received

- is alight (fixed light) when radio codes are being memorised

- flashes rapidly when the control unit is switched on and the radio code memory is defective

- flashes rapidly during the cancellation of radio codes

- flashes slowly when there is an attempt to memorise new radio codes and the memory is full

- is switched off when the control unit is functioning normally and waiting to receive a command via radio.

Green led GC:

- is alight (fixed light) when the automation is completely closed

- flashes during the closing manoeuvre

- otherwise it is switched off

Red led GO:

- is alight (fixed light) when the automation is open.

- flashes during the opening manoeuvre

- otherwise it is switched off

Red led PH:

- is alight when the photocell (PHO input) is aligned

- is switched off when the photocell (PHO input) is not aligned

Red led ST:

- is alight when the STOP (STP) input is closed

- is switched off when the STOP (STP) input is open.

Green led START:

- is alight when the OPEN/STEP/STEP (STR) input is closed.

- is switched off when the OPEN/STEP/STEP (STR) input is open.

7. PROGRAMMING THROUGH GTSYSTEM

The GTSYSTEM is an autonomous multi-functional terminal that can be used on various Prastel products both for testing and function modification. In the case of UNIK2E control unit, it allows:

• modification or visualisation of operating parameters,

• visualisation of the counter of completed manoeuvres,

• visualisation of the control unit status and diagnostic messages.

8. ACCESSORIES ABSORPTION CHECK INFORMATION

(Transformer dimensioning)

The current available for the accessories is given by the power available for the accessories divided by the voltage of the accessories (13.7V).

Iacc

=

Pacc

13.7

Iacc = current available for accessories

Pacc = power available for accessories

The power available for the accessories is given by the transformer power, less the motor power, less the power absorbed by the control unit (4W).

Pacc = Ptras – Pmot – 4

Ptras = transformer power

Pmot = motor power 1 + motor power 2

Below are two examples of calculation of the current available for the accessories.

Example: connecting 2 pairs of FOTO30SDE photocells, a FEBOLIX flashing light and a MLX24AZ detector the overall average absorption is 290mA. Should it be necessary to connect accessories with an overall average absorption that is more than that available, the transformer must be replaced with a more powerful one. For

12VDC motors use transformers with a secondary of 12VAC (for 24VDC motors use a transformer with a secondary of 20VAC).

9. TROUBLESHOOTING

On giving a command with the remote control or with the key-

switch, the gate does not open.

230 volt mains voltage absent

Emergency STOP present

Check master switch

Check for any STOP commands connected to the STP input.

There is no jumper between the STP input and the common.

If not used, check if there is a jumper on the STP input.

One of the fuses is burnt out.

Replace the fuse with one of the same value.

Motor power cable not connected or faulty.

Check the connection of the cable in the terminal board or replace it.

The photocell, if present, is obstructed or not functioning.

Check, clean the photocell or remove the obstacle.

The gate opens but does not close.

The operator functions by wire but not with the remote control.

The photocell is missing and there is no jumper between the PHO input and the common.

Check the accessory connections and the presence of the “jumper”.

A key selector NC contact has been used instead of an NO contact to connect to the STR input

Check the connections.

The remote control has not been memorised or is broken or the battery is flat.

Check/change the battery.

Carry out the remote control acknowledgement procedure.

The flashing light only functions for

4 seconds and the gate moves slowly (only with a 12V optional battery fitted).

No mains voltage: the control unit functions with the battery.

Check the lack of mains voltage.

Functioning is normal because it is only powered by the battery.

Check if the leaves are in axis, lubricate if necessary.

The gate moves then stops, both in opening and closing.

The motor force is insufficient and/or the trigger threshold of the

OBS is too low.

Increase the trigger threshold by turning the OBS trimmer clockwise.

If it is not sufficient, increase the

FOR trimmer clockwise and reprogram from RESET

There is an obstacle in front of the gate; the hinges are blocked; a motor fixing bracket has detached.

Remove any obstacles from the gate; restore the hinges, replace or lubricate them.

When commanded, the motor starts but the gate does not move.

Check the motor fixings.

Check the electrical connection.

The electric lock, if present, does not work (does not open).

Check the correct positioning.

Lubricate the mechanism.

N.B.: If the problem persists, contact your Retailer or the nearest Service Centre.

ATTENTION: Before sending a remote control to be repaired, check that the batteries are not flat. 50% of all remote controls that return for servicing only have flat batteries.
