2.3.1 SL0K Electromechanical Gearmotor

SL0 is an electromechanical gearmotor made up of a reducer gear with helical teeth and 24V DC motor; it is equipped with a mechanical release with key to enable manual movement of the gate in the event of a power failure.

The gearmotor is anchored to the ground, to the side of the gate using the special fixing plate and is activated by a rack and pinion system.

The control unit manages the gearmotor and power supply to the various components, and comprises an electronic board with built-in radio receiver.

The control unit can run the gearmotor at two speeds: high and low.

The three keys P1, P2 and P3 [B] and corresponding LEDs are used for control unit programming.

A numbered terminal board [A] is used for the electrical connections. The

STOP input is equipped alongside with a status indicator led.

Connection to the mains power could not be easier: simply insert the plug in the mains socket.

3 Installation

The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel in compliance with the directions provided in chapter 1

"Warnings".

3.1 Preliminary checks

SL0 must not be used to power a gate that is not efficient and safe. It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the gate.

Before proceeding with the installation you must:

• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the gate fall within the specified operating limits. If they do not, SL0 cannot be used.

• Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation and in compliance with regulations in force.

• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or closing travel of the gate.

• Make sure there is no danger of the gate derailing.

• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough and that there is no risk of the gate derailing out of the ground guide even when it hits the mechanical stop violently.

• Make sure that the gate is well balanced: it must not move by itself when it is placed in any position.

• Make sure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the ground.

• Make sure that the installation area is compatible with the size of the gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it.

• Make sure there is a suitable fixing surface at the points where the rack is fixed to the gate. For the CR100 rack, see figure 10.

Figure 10

• Both with the gearmotor mounted to the left "LT" and to the right "RT", the distances indicated in figure 11 (gate without rack) or figure 12 (gate with rack) must be respected.

3.1.1 Operating Limits

Chapter 6 "Technical Characteristics" provides the fundamental data needed to determine whether all the SL0 components are suitable for the intended application.

In general, SL0 is suitable for the automation of gates up to 5 m long, weighing up to 200 kg for residential applications.

The shape of the gate and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of strong wind) may reduce this maximum limit. In this case it is necessary to measure the torque needed to move the leaves under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the gearmotor.

3.1.2 Tools and Materials

Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serviceable according to current safety standards. See examples in figure 16.

WARNING: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation; for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor applications, while H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.

Note 1: A power supply cable longer than 30 m may be used provided it has a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2.5mm

2 , and that a safety grounding system is provided near the automation unit.

Note 2: For the PHOTO, STOP and OPEN cables, there are no special contraindications to the use of a single cable that groups together multiple connections; for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS1 selector switch using a single 4x0,5mm 2 cable..

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System

With the exception of the power line, the rest of the system uses extralow voltage (approx. 24V); the wiring can therefore be done by personnel that is not properly qualified, provided that all the instructions in this manual are carefully observed.

After selecting the position of the various devices (refer to figure 1) you can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the devices to the control unit.

The conduits are designed to protect the electrical cables and prevent accidental breakage, which may be caused by the passage of vehicles, for instance.

3.2.1 Mains connection

Although connection of the SL0 to the electrical power mains is not specifically dealt with in this manual, note that:

• The electrical mains line must be laid and connected by a professional and qualified technician.

• The electrical mains line must be protected against short circuits and dispersion to earth; a 2-pole disconnection device with a contact gap of at least 3mm must be installed, to enable shutoff of power supply during installation and maintenance of SL0

(the same plug plus socket is adequate for this purpose).

Instructions SL0 9

3.3 Installation of the Various Devices

The SL0K gearmotor can be mounted in the two different situations:

A) Mounting on a gate without rack (paragraph 3.3.1); in this case the gearmotor must be installed first, followed by the CR100 rack.

B) Mounting on a gate with rack (paragraph 3.3.2); in this case the gearmotor must be adapted to the existing rack.

3.3.1 Mounting on gates without rack

1 Dig the foundations according to the "Preliminary checks" paragraph and in particular the distances indicated in figure 11 on page 7.

2 Lay the conduits for the power cables leaving them 30-50 cm longer.

7 Sink the plate into the concrete and make sure it is perfectly level.

Figure 18

3 Fit the two bent pins [B] into the foundation plate and fix them above and below with two M8 nuts [A]; make sure the projecting part does not exceed the maximum height indicated in the figure 19.

4 Position the foundation plate making sure that the grooved side (indicating the position of the pinion) faces the gate observing the distances shown in figure 11.

Figure 20

8 When the concrete is dry enough (after a few days), unscrew the two nuts over the plate as they which will no longer be used.

9 Cut the cable conduits approximately 3-4cm above the plate.

10 Remove the nut cover on the gearmotor.

11 Place the gearmotor on the foundation plate, make sure it is perfectly parallel with the gate and fix it with two self-locking nuts [C] and washers [D]. Thoroughly tighten the two nuts.

15 Leave a play of 1 mm between the rack and the pinion so that the gate does not weigh on the gearmotor.

C

D

Figure 22

12 Release the gearmotor using the appropriate release keys (see the

"Gearmotor release" paragraph on page 36).

13 Fully open the gate and place the first piece of the rack on the pinion so that it projects from the axis of the pinion by the distance indicated in figure 13 or figure 14, that is, the space required for the limit switch brackets.

14 To keep the rack level with the pinion, mark the hole for fixing when the slot matches the axis of the pinion. Repeat this operation for each fixing point.

Figure 24

16 Mount the other pieces of the rack and align them one after the other with a play of 1 mm on the pinion.

17 After fixing the last piece, cut away the projecting part of the rack with a hacksaw if necessary.

18 Open and close the gate several times by hand and make sure that the rack is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5mm.

19 Fix the two limit switch brackets with the relative dowels [E] to the outer sides of the rack.

Consider that the gate will slide for about another 2-3 cm after the limit switch cuts in. The brackets should be positioned at a sufficient distance from the mechanical stops in order to prevent the gate from jamming.

12 If necessary, adjust the height of the gearmotor (Max. 10mm) with the

4 dowels so that there is at least 1mm of play between the rack and the pinion so that the gate does not weigh on the gearmotor. It is better to fix the gearmotor without dowels as it will lie more firmly and securely on the plate.

Figure 28

8 When the concrete is dry enough (after a few days), unscrew the two nuts over the plate which will no longer be used.

9 Cut the cable conduits approximately 3-4cm above the plate.

10 Remove the nut cover on the gearmotor.

Figure 31

13 Make sure the gearmotor lies perfectly parallel with the gate. Then fix it to the foundation plate and fully tighten the two self-locking nuts [C].

14 Release the gearmotor using the appropriate release keys (see the

"Gearmotor release" paragraph on page 36).

15 Open and close the gate several times by hand and make sure that the rack is aligned with the pinion with a maximum tolerance of 5mm.

16 Fix the two limit switch brackets with the relative dowels [E] to the outer sides of the rack.

Consider that the gate will slide for about another 30mm after the limit switch cuts in. Position the brackets so that the gate does not jam.

To carry out tests, insert the plug of the gearmotor in a power supply socket, using an extension lead if necessary.

The gearmotor must be permanently connected to the mains power supply for the testing and commissioning operations.

This operation must be performed as follows by a qualified electrician:

1 Make sure that the plug of the gearmotor is not plugged-in to the power socket.

2 Disconnect the power cable from the gearmotor power supply terminal

3 Slacken the collar beneath the terminal and remove the cable.

4 Insert the final power supply cable of the gearmotor through the collar.

5 Connect the cable to the terminal of the gearmotor.

6 Tighten the collar.

Figure 57 Figure 58

3.5 Preliminary checks

Once the control unit is powered up for the first time, a number of simple checks should be made:

1 Ensure that the LED OK [A] flashes regularly with approx. one flash per second.

A

3 Ensure that the night-time light [C] on key-operated switch KS1 is lit.

Figure 59

2 Ensure that the LED SAFE [B] on the photocells is off or flashing; the flashing mode is not important as this depends on other factors. It is only important to ensure that it is not permanently lit.

Figure 61

4 If not all the above conditions are as specified, shut off power to the control unit and make a thorough check of all cable connections.

For other information, refer also to chapters 5.5 “Troubleshooting” and

5.6 “Diagnostics and signals”.

3.5.1 Learning the gate opening and closing positions

For correct operation, the control unit needs to recognise the gate opening and closing positions; in this phase the door stroke from the mechanical closing stop to the opening stop is measured.

As well as these positions, the system reads and memorises the configuration of the STOP input and presence (or absence) of the PHOTO input connection in “Phototest” mode.

1 Disengage the gearmotor with the special release keys (see paragraph

“Gearmotor release”, page 34) and move the gate to mid-stroke so that it is free to move in opening and closing, then re-engage the gearmotor.

2 Press and hold the key P3 [A].

3 Release the keys when the manoeuvre starts (after approx. 3s).

4 Check that the manoeuvre in progress is closing, otherwise press key

P3 [A], invert the position of the jumper (see fig. 50 and 51) and repeat the procedure from point 1.

5 Wait for the control unit to complete the self-learning phase: closing, opening and re-closing of the gate.

Figure 62

6 Make a number of opening and closing manoeuvres, checking that the gate stops on reaching the limit switch at least 2-3 centimetres before the mechanical stops.

Instructions SL0 17

3.5.3 Checking the Radio Transmitters

To check the transmitters just press one of the four buttons, make sure that the red LED flashes and that the automation executes the command.

The command associated to each button depends on how they have been memorized (see paragraph 5.4 "Memorization of Radio Transmitters"). The transmitters supplied have already been memorized and when you press the buttons the following commands are transmitted:

Button T1

Button T2

Button T3

Button T4

"OPEN" command

"Open pedestrian gate" command

"Open only" command

"Close only" command

3.6 Regulations

3.6.1 Selecting gate speed

The gate can be opened and closed at two speeds: "slow" or "fast".

To switch from one speed to the other press the P2 button [B] momentarily; the corresponding P2 LED [A] will light up or go off; if the LED is off the speed is "slow", if the LED is on the speed is "fast".

3.6.2 Selecting the Type of Operating Cycle

The opening and closing of the gate can take place according to different operating cycles:

•Single cycle (semiautomatic): the gate opens with a command and stays open until the next command is given, causing it to close.

•Complete cycle (automatic closing): the gate opens with a command and then closes automatically after a short time (for the time, see paragraph 5.1.1 "Adjusting the Parameters with the Radio Transmitter").

o switch from one operating cycle to the other, press the P3 button [B] momentarily; the corresponding LED [A] will light up or go off; if the LED is off the cycle is "single", if the LED is on the cycle is "complete".

3.7 Testing and Commissioning

These are the most important operations, designed to guarantee the maximum safety and reliability of the automation system.

The testing procedure can also be used as a periodic check of the devices that make up the automation.

The testing and commissioning operations must be performed by qualified and experienced personnel who must establish what tests should be conducted based on the risks involved, and verify the compliance of the system with applicable regulations, legislation and standards, in particular with all the provisions of EN

12445 standard which establishes the test methods for gate automation systems.

18 Instructions SL0

3.7.1 Testing

1 Make sure that the provisions contained in chapter 1 "WARN-

INGS" have been carefully observed.

2 Using the selector switch or the radio transmitter, test the opening and closing of the gate and make sure that the leaves move in the intended direction.

The test should be carried out a number of times to make sure that the gate moves smoothly, that there are no points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the assembly or adjustments.

3 Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.). In particular, each time a device is activated the "ECSBus" LED on the control unit flashes for a longer time, confirming that the control unit recognizes the event.

4 To check the photocells and make sure that there is no interference with other devices, pass a 5 cm diameter, 30 cm long cylinder on the optical axis, first near TX, then near RX and finally at the mid-point between them and make sure that in all these cases the device is triggered, switching from the active to the alarm status and vice-versa; finally, that it causes the intended action in the control unit, for example that it causes the reversal of the movement during the closing manoeuvre.

Figure 66

5 Measure the impact force according to EN 12445 standard. If "motor force" control is used to assist the system for the reduction of the impact force, try to find the adjustment that gives the best results.

3.7.2 Commissioning

The commissioning operations can be performed only after all the tests have been successfully carried out. Partial commissioning or implementation of "temporary" conditions are not permitted.

1 Prepare the technical documentation for the automation, which must include at least: assembly drawing (e.g. figure 1), wiring diagram (e.g. figure 17), analysis of hazards and solutions adopted, manufacturer's declaration of conformity of all the devices installed. Use enclosure “EC Declaration of conformity of the SL0 components” for SL0.

2 Post a label on the gate providing at least the following data: type of automation, name and address of manufacturer (person responsible for the "commissioning"), serial number, year of manufacture and "CE" marking.

3 Fill out the declaration of conformity and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; for this purpose you can use Annexe 2 "EC Declaration of Conformity".

4 Prepare the operating guide and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; Annexe 3 "OPERATING GUIDE" can be used as an example.

5 Prepare the maintenance schedule and deliver it to the owner of the automation system; it must provide directions regarding the maintenance of all the automation devices.

6 Before commissioning the automation system inform the owner regarding dangers and hazards that are still existing.

4 Maintenance

The maintenance operations must be performed in strict compliance with the safety directions provided in this manual and according to the applicable legislation and standards.

The devices used for the SL0 automation system do not require any special maintenance. However, periodically make sure (at least once every six months) that all the devices are perfectly efficient.

To this end, carry out all the tests and checks described in paragraph

3.7.1 "Testing" and the operations described in paragraph 7.3.3 "Maintenance Operations to Be Performed by the User".

If other devices are present, follow the directions provided in the corresponding maintenance schedule.

4.1 Dismantling and Disposal

SL0 is constructed of various types of materials, some of which can be recycled (aluminium, plastic, electric cables), while others must be disposed of (electronic boards).

WARNING: some electronic components may contain polluting substances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the recycling or disposal systems available for SL0 in compliance regulations locally in force.

1 Contact a qualified electrician regarding the disconnection of the automation system from the electric mains.

2 Disassemble all the devices and accessories, following in reverse order the procedures described in chapter 3 "Installation".

3 Remove the batteries from the radio transmitters.

4 Remove the electronic boards.

5 Sort the various electrical and recyclable materials and consign them to licensed firms for recovery and disposal.

6 Consign the remaining materials to authorized scrap collection centres.

Instructions SL0 19

5 Additional information

The following chapters describe different ways of customizing SL0 to make it suitable for specific application requirements.

5.1 Advanced Adjustments

5.1.1 Parameter settings via radio transmitter

The radio transmitter enables the entry of a number of control unit operating parameters: there are three parameters, each of which can be set with three different values:

1) Pause time: time in which the gate remains open (in the case of automatic closure).

Table 6

The parameter setting procedure can be performed with a radio transmitter, provided this is memorised in mode 1, as the one supplied. If a transmitter memorised in mode 1 is not available, a single one may be memorised for this phase and then deleted immediately afterwards (see paragraph 5.4.1 “Mode 1 memorisation” and paragraph 5.4.4 “Deleting a radio transmitter”).

CAUTION: when making settings via a transmitter, ensure that the control unit has the time to recognise the commands via radio; in practice the keys must be pressed and released slowly, pressing them for at least one second, releasing them for one second and so on..

1 Press radio transmitter keys T1 and T2 together for at least five seconds.

Example: to set the pause time at 60 s.

Press and hold keys T1 and T2 for at least 5s

Release keys T1 and T2

Press key T1 three times

All parameters can be set as required without any contraindication; only the “motor force” setting requires special conditions:

• Never enter high force values to compensate for the fact that the door has anomalous points of friction. Excessive force may impair correct operation of the safety system or damage the gate.

• If the “motor force” control is used as a support for the system for force impact reduction, after each setting, repeat force measurement as envisaged in the standard EN 12445.

• Weather conditions can influence gate movements, and adjustments may need to be repeated periodically.

Figure 67

5.1.2 Checking settings via radio transmitter

With a transmitter memorised in mode 1, the user can check settings of all parameters at any time as follows:

1 Press radio transmitter keys T1 and T2 together for at least five seconds.

2 Release the two keys.

3 Within three seconds, execute the action specified in Table 7 on the basis of the parameter to be modified.

4 Release the key when the relative indicator starts to flash.

5.2 Optional Accessories

In addition to the devices featured in SL0, other ones are available as optional accessories designed to enhance the automation system.

For information on the new accessories, refer to the MHOUSE catalogue or visit the site www.mhouse.biz.

5.3 Adding or Removing Devices

Devices can be added to or removed from the SL0 automation system at any time.

Do not add any devices until you have made sure that they are perfectly compatible with SL0; for further information contact

MHOUSE Customer Service.

5.3.2 STOP Input

STOP is the input that causes the immediate interruption of the manoeuvre (with a short reverse run). Devices with output featuring normally open "NO" contacts (like the KS1 selector switch) and devices with normally closed "NC" contacts, as well as devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance output, like sensitive edges, can be connected to this input.

Multiple devices, even of different type, can be connected to the STOP input if suitable arrangements are made.

To do this, proceed as described in the following table:

Table 8

1st device type:

NC

NO

NO

in parallel

(note 2)

(note 1)

8,2kΩ in parallel

NC

(note 1) in series

(note 3) in series

8,2KΩ in parallel in series not permitted

(note 4)

Note 1. The NO and NC combination can be obtained by placing the two contacts in parallel, and placing in series to the NC contact an 8.2KΩ resistance (therefore, the combination of 3 devices is also possible: NO,

NC and 8.2KΩ).

5.3.2 Phototest output

This control unit is equipped with the function “Phototest” which increases reliability of the safety devices, enabling classification in “category 2” according to the standard EN 954-1 (ed. 12/1998) governing the control unit and safety photocell assembly.

Each time a manoeuvre is started, the safety devices involved are checked and the manoeuvre is enabled only if the correct conditions are present. If the test fails (photocell “blinded” by sunlight, cables shorted etc.) the fault is identified and the manoeuvre is not performed.

Note 2. Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in parallel.

Nota 3. Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in series.

Nota 4. Only 1 device with constant 8.2KΩ resistance output can be connected; if multiple devices are used, these must be connected in cascade with a single terminating 8.2KΩ resistance.

Warning: if the STOP input is used to connect devices with safe-

ty functions, only the devices with 8.2KΩ constant resistance out-

put guarantee the fail-safe category 3.

During the recognition stage the control unit, like ECSBus, recognizes the type of device connected to the STOP input; subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognized status.

To add a pair of photocells, remove the jumper and make the connections as described below.

The power supply to the photocell transmitters is not fed directly from the services output, but from the “Phototest” output between terminals 8-6.

The maximum usable current on the “Phototest” output is 100mA.

If 2 pairs of photocells are used with the risk of interference, activate the synchronism mechanism as described in the photocell instructions.

Figure 68 Figure 69

Instructions SL0 21

5.4 Memorization of Radio Transmitters

The control unit contains a radio receiver for TX4 transmitters; those included in the package are pre-memorized and operative.

If you wish to memorize a new radio transmitter you have two choices:

• Mode 1: in this "mode" the radio transmitter is used to its fullest extent, i.e. all the buttons execute a pre-established command (the transmitters supplied with SL0 are memorized in Mode 1). It is obvious that in Mode 1 a radio transmitter can be used to command a single automation, i.e.:

T1 button "OPEN" command

T2 button "Pedestrian gate" command

T3 button

T4 button

"Open only" command

"Close only" command

• Mode 2: one of the four commands available can be associated to each button. This mode, used properly, allows you to command 2 or more different automations; for example:

T1 button "Open only" command Automation N. 1

T2 button

T3 button

T4 button

"Close only" command Automation N. 1

"OPEN" command Automation N. 2

"OPEN" command Automation N. 3

Each transmitter is, of course, a separate unit, and while some are memorized in mode 1 others can be memorized in mode 2 on the control unit.

The overall memory capacity is 150 units; memorization in mode 1 takes up one unit for each transmitter while mode 2 takes up one unit for each button.

Warning: since the memorization procedures are timed (10s), you must read the instructions in the following paragraphs before you proceed with their execution.

5.4.1 Memorization Mode 1

1 Press button P1 [B] for at least 3s. When the P1 LED [A] lights up, release the button.

2 Within 10s, press any button on the radio transmitter to be memorized and hold it down for at least 3s.

If the memorization procedure is successful, the "P1" LED will flash 3 times.

3 If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat step 2 within the next 10s, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate automatically.

A

B

Figure 70

5.4.2 Memorisation mode 2

With memorisation of the radio transmitter in Mode 2, each key can be associated with one of the four commands: “OPEN”, “Partial Open”,

“Open only” and “Close only”.

In Mode 2 each key requires a specific memorisation phase.

1 Delete the remote control by completing the procedure “5.4.4 Deleting a radio transmitter”.

2 Press key P1 (Figure 70) on the control unit the same number of times as the number of the required command, according to the following table: (e.g. 3 times for the command “Open only”).

Once “OPEN” command

Twice

Three times

Four times

“Pedestrian opening” command

“Open only” command

“Close only” command

3 Ensure that the LED P1 emits a number of quick flashes corresponding to the number of the selected command.

4 Within 10 seconds, press the radio transmitter key to be memorised for at least 2 seconds.

If memorisation is successful, the LED “P1” emits 3 slow flashes.

5 If there are other transmitters to be memorised for the same type of command, repeat step 3 within another 10 s, otherwise the memorisation phase is terminated automatically.

5.4.3 “Remote” Memorization

A new radio transmitter can be memorized in the control unit without directly operating the buttons on it. You need to have an "OLD" prememorized operational radio transmitter. The "NEW" radio transmitter to be memorized will inherit the characteristics of the OLD one, i.e. if the

OLD radio transmitter was memorized in Mode 1, the NEW one will also be memorized in Mode 1. In this case, during the memorization stage you can press any key on the two transmitters. If, on the other hand, the

OLD transmitter was memorized in Mode 2 you must press the button on the OLD transmitter which corresponds to the desired command, and the button on the NEW transmitter to which you wish to associate that command.

Holding the two transmitters, position yourself within the operating range of the automation and perform the following operations:

1 Press the button on the NEW radio transmitter and hold it down for at least 5s, then release it.

2 Press the button on the OLD radio transmitter 3 times slowly.

3 Press the button on the NEW radio transmitter once slowly.

At this point the NEW radio transmitter will be recognized by the control unit and will assume the characteristics of the OLD one.

If there are other transmitters to be memorized, repeat all the steps above for each new transmitter.

22 Instructions SL0

5.4.4 Deleting a Radio Transmitter

If a radio transmitter is available, this operation allows you to delete it.

If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 1, a single deletion stage is sufficient: just press any button at point 3. If the transmitter is memorized in

Mode 2, one deletion stage is needed for each memorized button.

1 Press and hold down button P1 [B] (Figure 71) on the control unit.

2 Wait until the P1 LED [A] lights up, then, within three seconds:

3 Press and hold down for at least three seconds the button of the radio transmitter to be deleted.If the radio transmitter has been deleted, the P1

LED will flash quickly five times. If the LED flashes slowly just once, it means that the deletion has not taken place because the transmitter is not memorized

4 If there are more transmitters to be deleted, repeat step 3 within ten seconds while pressing button P1, otherwise the deletion stage will terminate automatically.

5.4.5 Deleting all the Radio Transmitters

With this operation all the memorized transmitters are deleted.

1 Press the P1 button [B] on the control unit and hold it down.

2 Wait until the P1 LED [A] lights up, then wait until it goes off, then wait until it has flashed 3 times.

3 Release the P1 button precisely upon the third flash.

4 Wait approximately 4s for the deletion process to be completed; during this time the LED will flash very quickly.

If the procedure is successful, after a few moments the "P1" LED will flash slowly 5 times.

5.5 Troubleshooting

The following table provides a guideline to malfunctions that may occur during installation or in the event of faults, with suggested remedies.

Table 9

Symptom

The radio transmitter does not emit any signal (LED [A] does not light up)

Probable cause and remedy

• Check whether the batteries are discharged; replace if necessary (page 36)

The manoeuvre is not started and the LED

“OK” [B] does not flash

The manoeuvre is not started and the flashing light remains off

• Check that the power cable is inserted correctly in the electrical mains socket

• Check that fuses [D] or [E] have not tripped; in this case check the cause of the fault and replace the fuse with an identical version.

• Check that the command is effectively received. If the command reaches the OPEN input, the relative LED

“OK” [B] should light up.

The manoeuvre is not started and the flashing light flashes briefly

• Check that the STOP input is active, i.e. that the LED “STOP” [C] is lit. If this does not occur, check the device connected to the STOP input.

• The photocell test performed at the start of each manoeuvre is not successful; check also with reference to Table 10 on page 24.

The manoeuvre starts but inversion occurs immediately afterwards.

The manoeuvre is executed but the flashing light does not work

• The selected force is too low to move the gate. Check whether there are any obstacles and if necessary select a higher force as described on page 21.

• Check during the manoeuvre that there is voltage on the terminal FLASH of the flashing light (as this is intermittent the voltage value is not significant: around 10-30Vac); if voltage is present, the problem is due to the lamp which should be replaced with an identical version.

7.3 Annexe 3: Operating Guide

This guide should be stored in an accessible location and made available to all users of the automation.

7.3.1 Safety regulations

• Keep at a safe distance while the gate is moving; do not pass through until the gate has opened all the way and has stopped moving.

• Do not allow children to play near the gate or with its controls.

• Stop using the automation system immediately if you notice anything abnormal (strange noise or jerky movements); failure to observe this warning may result in serious danger and accidents.

• Do not touch any components while they are moving.

• Have periodic checks made according to the instructions provided in the maintenance schedule.

• Maintenance operations and repairs can only be performed by qualified technicians.

7.3.2 Gate Control

Control with safety devices out of order

If the safety devices are out of order or malfunctioning, it is still possible to control the gate.

1 Operate the gate control device (remote control or key-operated selector switch). If the safety devices enable the operation, the gate will open normally, otherwise:

2 The flashing light flashes a few times but the manoeuvre does not start

(the number of flashes depends on the reason why the manoeuvre is not enabled).

3 In this case, actuate the control again within 3 seconds and keep it actuated.

4 After approximately 2s the gate will start moving in the "man present" mode, i.e. so long as the control is maintained the gate will keep moving; as soon as the control is released the gate will stop.

If the safety devices are out of order the automation must be repaired as soon as possible.

With selector switch

The selector switch has two positions, with automatic return to the centre.

Instructions SL0 33

Gearmotor release

The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the gate to be opened and closed manually (i.e. as if SL0 were not present).

The manual operation must be resorted to in case o power failures or system malfunctions.

If there is a malfunction of the gearmotor it is still possible to try and release the motor in order to check whether the problem is connected with the release mechanism.

1 Turn the release mechanism cover anti-clockwise until the hole matches the release pin.

2 Insert the key in the pin.

Figure 78

3 Turn the key anti-clockwise by approx. 90° until you feel the gate release

Figure 77

Figure 79

4 At this point, the gate can be moved manually.

5 To restore the functionality of the automation system, rotate the key clockwise while simultaneously moving the gate until it is caught by the mechanism.

6 Remove the key and close the cover by turning it clockwise.

7.3.3 Maintenance Operations to Be Performed by the User

The only maintenance operations that the user can and must perform periodically concern the cleaning of the photocell glasses and the removal of leaves and debris that may impede the automation.

stances could damage the devices, start fires or generate electric shocks.

• Use a slightly damp cloth (not wet) to clean the surface of the devices. Do not use any substances containing alcohol, benzene, diluents or other flammable substances. The use of these sub-

• Disconnect the power supply to the automation before you proceed to remove leaves and debris, to prevent anyone from activating the gate.

7.3.4 Replacing the Remote Control Battery

If the range of the remote control is significantly diminished and the light emitted by the LED is feeble, the remote control battery is probably exhausted. The remote control houses two CR2016 type lithium batteries. To replace them proceed as follows:

1 Open the bottom by pulling it.

2 Insert a small pointed tool in the slit and prise the batteries out.

Figure 80

Figure 81

3 Insert the new battery, observing the polarity (the "+" symbol towards the bottom).

4 Close the bottom until it clicks.

The batteries contain polluting substances: do not dispose of them together with other waste but use the methods established by local regulations.
