Work time
The motor work time is controlled by an digital timer. For the automation system to work properly the operating time value to be set must be slightly
(min. 2 sec.) above the gate's actual work time. If any command interrupts the gate's travel before its end, the Timer stops and the elapsed time is
stored in memory. Therefore the unit can determine, with a fair approximation, the partial working time necessary to the gate to end its travel. Thanks
to this feature it is possible to avoid that the motor works for a long time after the end of the gate's travel, thus reducing overheating to the minimum.
Warning : In case of absence of power supply the stored position will be lost.
E) Operation modes
The unit can operate in three modes :
- Step by step
- Automatic
- Condominium
The Condominium mode is the priority operation mode. If more than one modes are selected the priority mode will be enabled.
Notice: The operation logic setting (dip switch), the work time programming and the pause time programming must be carried out only if the cycle is
concluded or before it starts (with closed gate).
"Step-by-step" mode - Jumper JP1 not inserted
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. At the end of the motor work time, the gate
stops. The operating cycle is completed (blinker off) and the system waits for a new start command to determine the closing cycle. If a start command
is supplied when the end of travel has not been reached yet the gate stops. A new start command will cause the reversal of the motion.
"Automatic" mode - JP1 inserted, program the pause time through P3-P2 (see chapter "Setting the pause time")
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. At the end of the motor work time, the gate
stops. The pause period starts (blinker OFF). At the end of the pause period the gate closes automatically. The operating cycle is complete only when
the closing motion has ended. If a start command is supplied before the end of travel is reached the gate stops. A new start command will cause the
gate to reverse its motion. If a start command is supplied during the pause period the operating cycle is interrupted (blinker off) and the gate does not
close automatically. A further start command will determine a closing cycle.
"Condominium" mode - JP1 inserted, program the pause time through P3-P3 (see chapter "Setting the pause time")
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. At the end of the motor work time, the gate
stops. The pause period starts (blinker OFF). At the end of the pause period the gate closes automatically. The operating cycle is complete only when
the closing motion has ended. If a start command is supplied while the gate opens, the command will have no effect. If a start command is supplied
while the gate closes, the gate will stop and reverse its motion after approx. 1.5 sec. If a start command is supplied during the pause period, the period
will be reset and the automatic closure will start later.
Important : If the gate opening is controlled by a clock the "condominium" mode must be enabled.
