INSTALLATION

STEP 3

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

GD0 must not be used to power a door that is not efficient and safe.

It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the door.

WARNING: incorrect installation could cause serious damage.

Before proceeding with the installation you must:

• Make sure that the door movement does not hinder roads or public footpaths.

• After the motor has been installed, remove unnecessary cables or chains and turn off any unneeded equipment

• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the door fall within the specified operating limits (Chapter 3.1.1). If they do not, GD0 cannot be used.

• Make sure that the structure of the door 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 door.

• Make sure that the mechanical structure of the door is sturdy enough and that there is no risk of derailing out of the guide.

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

• 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 that the mounting positions of the various devices are protected from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently sturdy.

7

8

• Make sure that the mounting surfaces of the photocells are flat and that they enable the proper alignment between TX and RX.

• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances specified in fig. 8 are observed.

8

C

2970 mm

B

0÷400 mm

D

410 mm

• Make sure that, in the position corresponding to the door, or slightly to the side, (see positions “A” and “B”) the conditions are suitable for mounting the head of the guide; in particular, the material should be sufficiently sturdy and compact.

Make sure that GD0 can be mounted on the ceiling along position

“C” using the mounting brackets.

If the door to be automated is an overhead type with springs or counterweights, it will be necessary to install an OSCILLATING ARM, which must be mounted next to the handle (Figure 9).

• Make sure that distance [E] in Figure 10, i.e. the minimum distance between the upper side of the guide and the maximum point reached by the upper edge of the door, is no shorter than 65 mm and no longer than 300 mm, otherwise GD0 cannot be installed.

10

B

0÷400 mm

E

65÷300 mm

• Pay attention in particular to the methods for securing the head of the guide and the brackets to the ceiling. The head of the guide will have to bear all the strain of opening and closing the door; the ceiling-mounted brackets will have to bear all the weight of GD0. In both cases, the wear and deformations that may occur in time must be taken into consideration.

• The gearmotor should be mounted so that it coincides with the centre of the door, or is slightly off-centre, e.g. in order to mount the

OSCILLATING ARM next to the handle (Figure 9).

If the door closes a room that has no other means of access, we recommend installation of the EXTERNAL RELEASE KIT, otherwise a simple power failure will prevent access to the room (figure 11 and

11a).

Note: the oscillating arm and external release kit are supplied with the related assembly instructions.

3.1.1 – Operating limits

Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data needed to determine whether all the GD0 components are suitable for the intended application.

In general GD0 is suitable for the automation of sectional and overhead doors for residential applications having the following maximum dimensions:

Sectional doors: 240 cm max. height - 370cm (8.8m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

Overhead garage doors non-protruding: 220 cm max. height - 350 cm

(7.7m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

Overhead garage doors protruding: 280 cm max. height - 350 cm (9.8m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

The shape of the door 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 door under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the GD0 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 12.

Note 1 – 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 4x0.25mm

2 cable.

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

10

3.2 – PREPARING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

With the exception of the plug and the power cable, the rest of the system uses extra-low 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 13) you can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the devices to the control unit.

The shock-resistant conduits are designed to protect the electrical cables and prevent accidental breakage.

Install any fixed control close to the door but away from moving parts and at a height of 1.5m.

3.2.1 – Connection to the Electrical Mains

Although the connection of GD0 to the electrical mains is beyond the scope of this manual, we wish to remind you that:

• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified professional electrician.

• Have a suitably protected 16A “schuko” outlet installed, where you can plug in GD0.

• Make sure that the power supply cable does not hang over moving parts or hazardous areas.

• The electric line must be grounded and protected against short circuits; a bipolar disconnection device must also be present with contact separation of at least 3mm, which allows the power supply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of the GD0.

3.3 – INSTALLATION OF THE VARIOUS DEVICES

The GD0 installation is made up of three parts:

- Guide assembly (see paragraph 3.3.1).

- Fixing of the gearmotor to the guide (see paragraph 3.3.2).

- Fixing of the gearmotor to the ceiling (see paragraph 3.3.3).

3.3.1 – Guide assembly

The guide supplied with the GD0 must be assembled as follows:

1.

Description

Radio receiver aerial connection input. The FL1 has a built-in aerial, alternatively an external aerial can be used or the small piece of wire that is already connected to the terminal can be left, which acts as an aerial.

Input for manoeuvre control devices; “Normally Open” type contacts can be connected.

Input for the devices which block or eventually stop the manoeuvre in progress. Contacts like “Normally Closed”, “Normally Open” or constant resistance devices can be connected using special procedures on the input. Additional information on STOP can be found in paragraph “5.3.2 STOP input”.

Input for safety devices such as PH0 photocells. Cut-in during closure, inverting the manoeuvre.

“Normally Closed” contacts can be connected. The PHOTO input is factory set shortcircuited by means of a jumper between inputs 3 and 7 of the terminal. Additional information on PHOTO can be found in paragraph “3.3.4 PH0 Photocells (optional)”.

All safety devices are controlled each time a manoeuvre is performed and the manoeuvre is only performed if the test has a positive outcome. This is possible by means of a special connection; the “TX” photocell transmitters are powered separately in respect to the “RX” receivers. Additional information on connections can be found in paragraph

“5.3.1 Phototest output”.

An FL1 flashing light with a 12V 21W car bulb can be connected to this output. During the manoeuvre the unit flashes at intervals of 0.5 s.

3.4 – POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

The connection of the GD0 control unit to the mains must be made by a qualified electrician.

2 If the system is equipped with the PH0 photocells, make sure that the

SAFE LED [B] shown in figure 59 flashes (on both TX and RX). The type of flashing is irrelevant, it depends on other factors; what matters is that it is not always off or always on.

To carry out tests, insert the plug for GD0K in a power outlet; if necessary, use an extension cord.

3.5 – INITIAL CHECKS

As soon as the control unit is energized, you should check the following:

1 Make sure that the LED [A] flashes regularly, with about one flash per second.

3 If the system is equipped with the KS1 key-operated selector switch, make sure that the night light [C] is on.

4 If the above conditions are not satisfied, you should immediately switch off the power supply to the control unit and check the cable connections more carefully. For more useful information see also chapters 5.5 “Troubleshooting” and 5.6 “Diagnostics and Signals”.

3.5.1 – Recognition of the door’s open and closed positions

The opening and closing positions of the door must be recognised by the control unit. In this phase, the door stroke from the mechanical closing stop to the mechanical opening stop is detected. In addition to the positions, the STOP input configuration and the presence or non-presence of the PHOTO input “Phototest” mode connection are also detected and memorised in this phase.

1 Make sure that the carriage is attached.

2 Press key P3 [A] on the control unit and hold it down for at least three seconds, then release the key (Figure 61).

• Wait until the control unit has completed the recognition stage: closing, opening and re-closing of the door.

• If any device is triggered during the recognition stage, or the P3 key is pressed, the recognition stage will be immediately interrupted. In this case it must be repeated from the beginning.

• During the recognition stage the courtesy light will flash just like the flashing light.

3 An error has occurred if the LEDs P2 and P3 [B] are flashing at the end of the recognition stage. See paragraph 5.5 “Troubleshooting”.

4 Press button 1 of the “TX4” transmitter to perform a complete opening manoeuvre. Then push it again to perform a complete closing manoeuvre.

The control unit memorises the necessary force throughout the travel during these two manoeuvres.

B

It is important that these two first manoeuvres are not interrupted by any commands. If the manoeuvres are not completed, repeat the recognition procedure starting from step 1.

The position recognition stage can be repeated at any time in the future

(for instance, if one of the mechanical stops is moved); just repeat starting from step 1.

WARNING: if the belt is not tightened properly, during the search for the positions it may slip on the pinion. If this happens, stop the leaning procedure by pressing key P3 and stretch the belt by tightening the nut [D]. Then repeat the recognition procedure starting from step 1.

62

3.6.2 – Selecting the type of operating cycle

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

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

• complete cycle (automatic closing): the door 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”).

To switch from one operating cycle to the other, press the P3 button [B] momentarily; the corresponding LED P3 [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”.

3.5.2 – Testing the radio transmitter

To test the transmitter just press one of its 4 keys, make sure that the red

LED flashes and that the automation carries out the related command.

The command associated to each button depends on how it has been memorized (see paragraph 5.4 “Memorization of Radio Transmitters”).

The transmitter supplied has already been memorized and when you press the buttons the following commands are transmitted:

17

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 standard

12445 which establishes the test methods for sectional and overhead door automation systems.

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 (if provided) or the radio transmitter, test the opening and closing of the door and make sure that the door moves in the intended direction.

The test should be carried out a number of times to make sure that the door 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 (if provided) 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

5 Measure the impact force according to EN standard 12445. 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.

6 Ensure that the entire mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the automation system inverts the manoeuvre when the door collides with a

50 mm high object on the floor.

7 Ensure that the automation prevents or blocks the opening manoeuvre when the door is loaded with a mass of 20 Kg, fixed in the middle of the doors lower edge.

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 56), analysis of hazards and solutions adopted, manufacturer’s declaration of conformity of all the devices installed. For GD0 use Annexe 1 “EC

Declaration of Conformity of the GD0 components”

2 Post a label on the door 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 Post a permanent label or sign detailing the operations for the release and manual manoeuvre (use the figures in Annex 3 “Operating guide”).

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

8 Post a permanent label or sign with this image on the door (minimum height 60 mm) with inscription WARNING – RISK OF CRUSHING.

66

67

MAINTENANCE

STEP 4

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 GD0 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

STEP 5

The following chapters describe different ways of customizing GD0 to make it suitable for specific application requirements.

5.1 – ADVANCED ADJUSTMENTS

5.1.1 – Adjusting the Parameters with the Radio Transmitter

The radio transmitter can be used to adjust certain control unit operation parameters: there are four parameters and each of them can have four different values:

Parameter N° Setting

1) Pause time: time during which the door remains open (in the automatic closing mode).

2) “OPEN” function: sequence of movements associated to each “OPEN” command.

3) Motor force: maximum force beyond which the control unit recognizes an obstacle and reverses the movement.

The parameter adjustment operation can be performed using a radio transmitter, provided it is memorized in mode 1 like the one supplied. If no transmitter memorized in Mode 1 is available, you can memorize one just for this phase and delete it immediately afterwards (see paragraph

5.4.1 “Mode 1 memorization” and paragraph 5.4.4 “Deleting a radio transmitter”).

WARNING: when using the transmitter to make adjustments you need to give the control unit time to recognize the radio command; this means that the buttons must be pressed and released slowly, held down for at least one second, then released for one second and so on.

1 Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at least 5s.

tion on the door. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the safety system or damage the door.

• If the “motor force” control is used to assist the impact force reduction system, measure the force again after each adjustment in compliance with EN standard 12445.

• The weather conditions may affect the movement of the door, therefore periodic re-adjustments may be necessary.

5.1.2 – Checking the Adjustments with the Radio Transmitter

With a radio transmitter memorized in Mode 1 you can check the values set for each parameter at any time by following the sequence described below:

1 Press buttons T1 and T2 on the radio transmitter simultaneously for at least 5s.

2 Release the two buttons.

3 Within 3 seconds, perform the action described in Table 8 based on the parameter to be checked.

4 Release the button when the flashing light starts flashing.

5 Count the flashes and, based on their number, check the corresponding value in table 7.

Example: If the flashing light flashes three times after you have pressed

T1 and T2 for 5s and then button T1, the pause time is set at 60s.

5.2 – OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES

In addition to the devices featured in GD0, other ones are available as optional accessories designed to enhance the automation system and improve its safety and performances.

GA1: OSCILLATING ARM accessory that enables the system to open overhead-type doors.

19

GU1: MANUAL RELEASE KIT accessory that enables the manual opening of the door even in the event of power failures.

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 GD0 automation system at any time.

Do not add any devices until you have made sure that they are perfectly compatible with GD0; for further information contact

MHOUSE Customer Service.

5.3.1 – Phototest output

This control unit is equipped with the “Phototest” function that increases the reliability of the safety devices, making it possible to achieve “category 2” according to the EN 954-1 (edit. 12/1998) regarding the control unit and safety photocells.

Whenever a manoeuvre is begun, the relative safety devices are checked and only if everything is in order will the manoeuvre start. If the test has a negative outcome (photocell blinded by the sun, short-circuited cable etc.), the fault is recognised and the manoeuvre is not performed.

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

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

Note 4. Only two devices with 8.2K

connected in parallel; if needed, multiple devices must be connected “in cascade” with a single 8.2K

Ω termination resistance.

Warning: if the STOP input is used to connect devices with safety functions, only the devices with 8.2K

Ω constant resistance output

guarantee the fail-safe category 3.

During the recognition stage of the opening and closing positions of the door, the control unit recognizes the type of device connected to the

STOP input; subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change occurs in the recognized status.

5.4 – MEMORIZATION OF RADIO TRANSMITTERS

The control unit contains a radio receiver for TX4 transmitters; the one included in the package is 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 transmitter supplied with GD0 is memorized in Mode 1). It is obvious that in Mode 1 a radio transmitter can be used to command a single automation, i.e.:

To add a pair of photocells, remove the jumper and connect as follows.

The photocell transmitter power is taken between terminals 8-6 of the

“Phototest” output and not from the services output. The maximum current that can be used on the “Phototest” output is 100mA.

Activate the synchronism as described in the Photocell instructions, in the event there are two pairs of photocells that could interfere with one another.

Button T1

Button T2

Button T3

Button T4

“OPEN” command

“Partial opening” 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:

Button T1

Button T2

Button T3

Button T4

“Open only” command automation N° 1

“Close only” command automation N° 1

“OPEN” command automation N° 2

“OPEN” command automation N° 2

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.

20

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 8.2K

Ω 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:

5.4.1 – Memorization Mode 1

1 Press button P1 [B] for at least 3s.

When the P1 LED [A] goes off, 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.

71

5.4.2 – Memorization Mode 2

With the memorization in mode 2 of the radio transmitter, any one of the four commands (“OPEN”, “Open partially”, “Open only” and “Close only”) can be associated to each button.

In Mode 2 each button requires a separate memorization stage.

1 Press button P1 (figure 71) on the control unit as many times as the number corresponding to the desired command, according to the following table:

1 time

2 times

3 times

4 times

A

“OPEN” command

“Partial opening” command

“Open only” command

“Close only” command

B

2 Make sure that the P1 LED makes as many quick flashes as the number corresponding to the selected command.

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

If the memorization procedure is successful, the “P1” LED will flash 3 times slowly.

4 If there are other transmitters to be memorized for the same type of command, repeat step 3 within the next 10s, otherwise the memorization stage will terminate 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” pre-memorized 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.

5.4.4 – Deleting a Radio Transmitter

Only if the system features a radio transmitter, you can delete it from the memory by proceeding as follows.

If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 1, only one deletion procedure will be needed and at step 3 you can press any button. If the transmitter is memorized in Mode 2, one deletion procedure will be needed for each key memorized.

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

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

3 Press the key on the radio transmitter to be deleted and hold it down for at least three seconds. If the deletion procedure is successful, the P1 LED will flash rapidly five times. If the P1 LED flashes only once slowly, it means that the deletion procedure has not been successful because the transmitter is not memorized.

4 If there are other transmitters to be deleted, press the P1 key and repeat step 3 within ten seconds, otherwise the deletion procedure will be terminated 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 4 s 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

B

The following table contains instructions to help you solve malfunctions or errors that may occur during the installation stage or in case of failure.

Symptoms

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

The manoeuvre does not start and the LED OK LED [B] does not flash

The manoeuvre does not start and the courtesy light [F] is off.

The manoeuvre does not start and the courtesy light flashes a few times.

The manoeuvre starts but inverts immediately

The manoeuvre is carried out but the flashing light does not work

The manoeuvre is carried out but the courtesy light does not work.

TABLE 10

Probable cause and possible solution

• Check to see if the batteries are exhausted, if necessary replace them (paragraph 7.3.4 “Replacing the

Remote Control Battery”).

• Make sure that the power cord is properly plugged into the mains outlet

• Check to see if the fuses [D] or [E] are blown; if necessary, identify the reason for the failure and then replace the fuses with others having the same current rating and characteristics.

• Make sure that the commands are actually received. If the command correctly arrives to the control unit, the “OK” LED will make two long flashes.

• Make sure that the STOP input is active, i.e. that the “STOP” LED [C] comes on. If this does not happen, check the devices connected to the STOP input.

• The photocell test which is performed at the starting of each manoeuvre is not successful; check the photocells, also according to Table 11 (Paraghraph 5.6.1 “Photocells”).

• The selected force is too low to move the door. Check for possible obstacles and if necessary select a higher force as described in chapter 5.1 “Advanced adjustments”.

• Make sure that there is voltage between the flashing light terminals 9 and 10 (being intermittent, the voltage value is not important: approximately 10-30Vac); if there is voltage, the problem is due to the lamp; in this case replace the lamp with one having the same characteristics.

• Replace the lamp [F] with one having the same characteristics.

7.1.1 – Safety regulations

• Keep an eye on the moving door and keep at a safe distance until the door has completely opened or closed; do not cross the opening until the door has completely opened and stopped.

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

• Keep the transmitter out of the reach of children.

• 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.

(*) This item must be drafted by the person who has programmed the system.

Control with safety devices out of order

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

1 Operate the gate control device (remote control or key-operated selector switch). If the safety devices enable the operation, the door will open normally, otherwise: actuate the control again within 3 seconds and keep it actuated.

2 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 door will stop.

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

7.1.2 – Door Control

With radio transmitter

The radio transmitter is ready for use and the four buttons have the following functions:

76

Gearmotor release

The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical system which allows the door to be opened and closed manually (i.e. as if GD0 were not present).

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

1 Pull the release cord until you hear the carriage being released.

2 At this point you can move the door manually.

3 To restore the functionality of the automation system, move the door back in position until you hear the carriage being engaged.

The activation of the manual release may cause an uncontrollable movement of the door if the springs are weak or broken, or if the door is off-balance.

7.1.3 – Maintenance Operations to Be Performed by the User

The operations that must be periodically performed by the user are listed below.

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

I

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

• Periodically check the system, especially cables, springs and supports, for possible imbalance or signs of ware or damage. Do not use the automation system if repair or adjustment is necessary, in as much that a fault or an incorrectly balanced door could cause injury.

82

7.1.4 – 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.

II

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.

7.1.5 – Lamp replacement

Before proceeding, disconnect GD0 from the power supply.

1 Unscrewing screw [A] and pushing button [B], open the lid.

2 Push the lamp up and rotate to remove. Insert a new 12V / 10W lamp with BA15 socket.
