OPERATION MODES
Introduction
The electronic unit contains a micro-processor to control the gate’s operation modes. These are the four main operation phases:
Phase preceding the gate’s motion
Gate’s fast motion phase
Gate’s slow motion phase
Gate’s pause phase (open gate)
The unit can function in three modes:
Step by step –
This mode is enabled by setting the dip switches 1=OFF 2=OFF
Automatic –
This mode is enabled by setting the dip switches 1=OFF 2=ON
Apartment–
This mode is enabled by setting the dip switches 1=ON 2= No effect
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).
The opening and closure cycles are enabled by a
Start
or
Pedestrian start
control.
Important:
Whatever logic has been selected, the first Start command after the power is supplied to the electronic card will always cause
the start of an opening cycle.
“Step-by-step” mode
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. During the slow-down phase, at the
end of the two work times or after the Limit switches have operated for both motors, the gate stops. The operating cycle is completed 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
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. During the slow-down phase, at the
end of the two work times or after the Limit switches have operated for both motors, the gate stops. The pause period starts. 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 and the gate does not close automatically. A further
start command will determine a closing cycle.
“Apartment” mode
After the power is supplied to the electronic card the first start command determines an opening cycle. During the slow-down phase, at the
end of the two work times or after the Limit switches have operated for both motors, the gate stops. The pause period starts. 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 “apartment” mode must be enabled.
“Single wing” mode
This mode is employed with single-wing gates. When enabled, it drives the motor M2 only. The operating modes described above remain
unchanged. When the “single-wing” mode is selected the
dip switch 3=ON
must be set.
Note:
At the beginning of each opening cycle, with the gate closed, the electric lock can operate in 2 modes:
1
) If dip switch 4=OFF the electric lock operates a split of second (0,8 sec) before the first wing (M2) starts , and stops operating 2 seconds
after the wing’s start.
2
) if dip switch 4=ON the electric lock operates for a short time (approx.1 sec.) closing the wing, and stops operating 2 seconds after the
M2 wing starts the opening. The “
kickback
” procedure is usually employed to help the electric lock’s release during bad weather.
