CONTROL SYSTEM FUNCTIONS
6.1
MANAGEMENT OF MOTORS
The R1-24 has separate outputs for motor control. When Motor 1 (single-wing version) only is connected, the control
system will automatically control this motor.
During opening Motor 2 has a delay set at the factory. The delay can be adjusted as part of advanced programming.
When the gate approaches the closing and opening stops, the wing travel speed is reduced to 45% of the maximum speed.

CONTROL DEVICES
START input (using button with N/O contact or using a remote control) - the START pulse controls operation of the
automation, opening or closing, on the basis of automation status and the functioning mode set.
STOP button (button with N/C contact) - the STOP input causes the wings to stop immediately in their current position. A
START pulse is required to continue movement. The STOP input has priority over all other functions at all times.
Closing photocells - these photocells are only enabled on the closing stroke. When triggered they will stop the movement
for 1 second and then start to reopen the gate. These photocells will prevent closing as long as they are covered.
Safety edge operating on opening stroke - this is a safety input enabled during the opening stroke. The safety edge
will trigger if it touches an obstruction during the opening stroke. The wings will reverse for a short distance and then
stop. To complete the movement which has been interrupted in this way, you must press START. This will complete the
movement in safe mode, i.e. at slow speed with the warning light permanently lit.
NOTE: triggering of the safety edge during opening is a default setting.
Opening safety photocells - these photocells detect obstacles on the opening and closing strokes; they will trigger on
detecting an obstruction and stop the wings. The movement will only restart when the photocells are uncovered. After a
pause of 1 second, the movement will restart in the original direction.
NOTE: see the advanced programming parameters for the setting.
Flashing light - this indicates the current status of the operator (fi g.9).
Warning light - this is a remote signal indicating the current status of the operator:
ON fi xed
gate open or opening;
•
light ON fl ashing
gate closing.

light OFF
FLASHING LIGHT OPERATION
OFF = gate closed or open and paused
ON flashing = preflashing (where selected) or gate
moving (opening or closing)
ON slow flashing = gate moving in black-out mode
(battery powered)
ON fixed = gate moving in emergency mode
(after obstacle detection)
gate closed;
•
