NOTE WELL: any new setting on the dip-switches controlling gate functions is performed following an open or close pulse.
!
FORCE SETTING:
!
The force is to be adjusted by the dedicated trimmer to a setting sufficient to move the gate.
Before programming, it is advisable to set the force trimmers according to the weight and size of the gate leaf.
Such setting controls also the force developed on the slowdow phase and resistance on impact with an obstacle.
An excessive amount of force against gate inertia implies that the installation may not be in full conformity with the EN 12445 and
EN 12453 safety norms. Therefore, once the force to be exerted on the automated gate has been set, the installer is required to assess
the forces involved according to the provisions of the EN 12445 and EN 12453 norms documented in the "Safety Norms" manual
made available by the company on www.fadini.net.
FUNCTIONS OF ELPRO 43 CONTROL UNIT
AUTOMATIC / SEMIAUTOMATIC:
Automatic cycle:
on pulsing an open command, the gate opens, stays open untill dwell time expires as
set by the dwell trimmer, then closes automatically.
On transiting through the outer pair of photocells, dwell time is reactivated.
Semiautomatic cycle:
on pulsing an open command, the gate opens and stops in open position. A close
pulse is needed for the gate to close.
GATE TRAVEL REVERSE ON CONTACT WITH AN OBSTACLE:
A function allowing for the travel direction to be reversed on contact with an obstacle.
The sensitivity of this function is proportional to the force exerted by Dardo by the Trimmer Force
during Travel and during Slowdown.
Opening phase: travel direction is reversed allowing for the gate to be cleared of the obstacle.
Gate is held stopped waiting for a new command.
Closing phase: travel direction is reversed back to the gate stop in open position.
N.W. In case an obstacle is detected for 5 consecutive times during a complete cycle,
open-dwell-close, the gate stays open waiting for a command.
RECLOSING ON ENGAGING THE PHOTOCELLS:
in opening and dwell phases ( DIP N° 3 = ON).
This function allows gate auto close after 3 s from crossing the photocells beam.
DSA: AUTOMATIC ASSESSMENT OF THE PHOTOCELLS STATUS
For DAS (Device for Safety Autotest) control to be enabled, connect only the projectors
of the photocells to these terminals and set Dip N° 10 = ON.
Before any gate operation, provided that this function is enabled, Elpro 43 performs
a test on all the photocells connected to it to make sure they are free from obstacles
and properly working, otherwise the gate is not allowed to start moving.
OPENING BY EXTERNAL TIME CLOCK:
Connections: parallel connect the NO contact of the time clock to terminals 4 open and 3 common,
and set the system to auto close by dip-switch n° 3 = ON.
How it works: set the clock to the required opening and closing times. On the pre-set time the gate
is opened and held open (the asher goes off), and no more commands (even by radio) are
accepted until the closing time pre-set on the clock expires. On expiring, and after the pre-set
dwell time, automatic close is performed.

of the various functions
DIP-SWITCH N° 3:
ON: automatic close
3 OFF: semiautomatic
Dwell trimmer: dwell time can be
set from 1 s to 120 s, automatic
mode to be selected.
Trimmer Force during travel:
it controls the maximum force that Dardo
applies to the gate during travel and in
proportion the resistance on obstacle contact.
F.T.
The new setting of force will be performed on
the next open/close/radio command
Trimmer Force during slowdown:
it controls the maximum force that Dardo
applies to the gate during slwdown phase
F.S.
and in proportion the resistance on obstacle
contact.
The new setting of force will be performed
on the next open/close/radio command
DIP-SWITCH N° 9:
ON: gate auto close after 3 s from crossing
the photocells pair

OFF: no auto close after crossing the
photocells
