General Information; Technical Specifications; Control Unit - BFT ARES VELOCE SMART BT A500 Instructions D'utilisation Et D'installation

1) GENERAL INFORMATION

The ARES VELOCE SMART BT A500 actuator is highly versatile in terms of instal-
lation options due to the extremely low position of the pinion, the actuator's
compact nature and the height and depth adjustment features it offers. The
adjustable electronic torque limiter provides anti-crush safety. Manual emergency
operation is extremely easy to perform using just a release lever.
Stopping at end of travel is controlled by electromechanical microswitches.
The MERAK SV control panel comes with standard factory settings. Any change
must be made using the programmer with built-in display or universal handheld
programmer.
Fully supports EELINK and U-LINK protocols.
Its main features are:
- Control of 1 low-voltage motor
- Obstacle detection
- Separate inputs for safety devices
- Configurable command inputs
- Built-in radio receiver rolling code with transmitter cloning.
The board has a terminal strip of the removable kind to make maintenance
or replacement easier. It comes with a series of prewired jumpers to make the
installer's job on site easier. The jumpers concern terminals: 70-71, 70-72, 70-74.
If the above-mentioned terminals are being used, remove the relevant jumpers.
"Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel (professional
installer, according to EN 12635), in compliance with Good Practice and
current code"
WARNINGS - Protect the dangerous rims according to the
provisions of the EN12453 regulation, applying active edges and
using the SAFE1 and SAFE2 inputs.
For obstacle detection, apply a safety edge: ASO SENTIR EDGE 115SK
/ BIRCHER EP45x99A1 (NOT SUPPLIED)
TESTING
The MERAK SV panel controls (checks) the start relays and safety devices (pho-
tocells) before performing each opening and closing cycle.
If there is a malfunction, make sure that the connected devices are working
properly and check the wiring.

INSTALLATION MANUAL
MOTOR
500
Install the electrical system referring to the standards in force for electrical systems
CEI 64-8, IEC 364, harmonization document HD 384 and other national standards.
4) PREPARATION FOR MOTOR MOUNTING FIG.B
Make a hole in the ground to accommodate the concrete pad where the tie rods
will be positioned, keeping to the distances featured in (FIG.B).

5.1) MOUNTING THE MOTOR FIG.C1
6) MOUNTING DRIVE ACCESSORIES FIG.D-D1
Recommended rack types (FIG.J)
7) RACK CENTRING WITH RESPECT TO PINION FIG.J-K1-L
DANGER - Welding must be performed by a competent person issued
with the necessary personal protective equipment as prescribed by
the safety rules in force FIG.K.
8) FASTENING LIMIT SWITCH BRACKETS FIG.E
9) STOPS FIG. O
DANGER - The gate must be fitted with mechanical stops to halt its
travel both when opening and closing, thus preventing the gate from
coming off the top guide. Said stops must be fastened firmly to the ground,
a few centimetres beyond the electric stop point.
10) MANUAL RELEASE (See USER GUIDE -FIG.3-).
Warning Do not JERK the gate open and closed, instead push it GENTLY to
the end of its travel.
11) TERMINAL BOARD WIRING Fig. G-P
Once suitable electric cables have been run through the raceways and the auto-
mated device's various components have been fastened at the predetermined
points, the next step is to connect them as directed and illustrated in the diagrams
contained in the relevant instruction manuals. Connect the live, neutral and earth
wire (compulsory). The mains cable must be clamped in the relevant cable gland
(FIG.G-ref.P1), while the earth wire with the yellow/green-coloured sheath must
be connected in the relevant terminal (FIG.G-ref.P2).
WARNINGS - When performing wiring and installation, refer to the standards
in force and, whatever the case, apply good practice principles. Wires carrying
different voltages must be kept physically separate from each other, or they must
be suitably insulated with at least 1mm of additional insulation.
Wires must be secured with additional fastening near the terminals, using devi-
ces such as cable clamps. All connecting cables must be kept far enough away
from dissipaters.
11.1) LOCAL COMMANDS Fig.G
While the display is off, pressing the + key commands the gate to Open and
pressing the - key commands it to Close. Pressing either key again while the
automated device is moving commands the gate to STOP.
12) SAFETY DEVICES
Note: only use receiving safety devices with free changeover contact.

13.3) LOGIC MENU (LOGIC) (LOGIC TABLE "B")
13.4) RADIO MENU (radio) (RADIO TABLE "C")
- IMPORTANT NOTE: THE FIRST TRANSMITTER MEMORIZED MUST BE
IDENTIFIED BY ATTACHING THE KEY LABEL (MASTER).
In the event of manual programming, the first transmitter assigns the RECEIVER'S
KEY CODE: this code is required to subsequently clone the radio transmitters.
The Clonix built-in on-board receiver also has a number of important advanced features:
• Cloning of master transmitter (rolling code or fixed code).
• Cloning to replace transmitters already entered in receiver.
• Transmitter database management.
• Receiver community management.
To use these advanced features, refer to the universal handheld programmer's
instructions and to the general receiver programming guide.
13.5) DEFAULT MENU (default)
Restores the controller's DEFAULT factory settings. Following this reset, you will
need to run the AUTOSET function again.
13.6) LANGUAGE MENU (language)
Used to set the programmer's language on the display.
13.7) AUTOSET MENU (AUTOset)
• For best results, it is advisable to run the autoset function with the motors idle
(i.e. not overheated by a considerable number of consecutive operations).
• Launch an autoset operation by going to the relevant menu.
• As soon as you press the OK button, the ".... .... .... " message is displayed and the control
unit commands the device to perform a full cycle (opening followed by closing), during
which the minimum torque value required to move the leaf is set automatically.
The number of cycles required for the autoset function can range from 1 to 3.
.
During this stage, it is important to avoid breaking the photocells' beams and not
to use the START and STOP commands or the display.
Pressing the + and - keys at the same time during this stage stops the automated
