Berner GA 401, Installation, Operating And Maintenance Instructions

ENGLISH 

5.6.2  Automatic timer “OFF” 

 Briefly press black “learn” button consecutively twice.  

5.7      Light at “CLOSE” 

    If the lighting is to stay on even with the door closed, 

    (operator lighting stays switched on for approx.150 sec. 

    when door is closed) this can be achieved by the following 

  action: 

    1)  First unplug from the mains. 

    2)  Press the black "learn" button and keep it pressed. 

    3)  Plug back into the mains. 

    4)  After the lamp has switched on, release the "learn" 

 button. 

    On repeating the procedure, at the "CLOSE" position 

    the light switches off again to 5 sec. lightning time. 

6    Use of the garage door operator 

    Only ever operate the garage door operator provided 

    you have a full view of the door's area of movement. 

    Wait until the door has come to a complete halt before 

    entering the door's area of movement. 

    Before driving in or out of the garage, always check that 

    the door has fully opened! 

Note 

Initial function checks as well as programming or extending the 

remote control should always take place from inside the garage. 

ATTENTION 

Keep hand transmitters out of the 

reach of children! 

The function of the mechanical release should be 

checked every month. The pull cord with knob may 

only be actuated when the door is closed, otherwise 

with weak, broken or defective springs or due to 

inadequate counterbalancing, there is a risk that the door 

could close too quickly. 

ATTENTION 

Never hang bodily from the pull cord 

with knob! 

All persons using the door system must 

be shown how to operate the garage 

door operator properly and safely. 

Demonstrate 

and test the mechanical release as 

well as the safety return.

 To do this, 

halt the movement of the closing 

door by grasping it with both hands. 

The door system should gently cut-

out and initiate the safety return. The 

same should happen during the 

opening cycle, i.e. the door system gently cuts out and the 

door comes to a halt. 

6.1  

Normal operation 

    In the normal operation mode the garage door operator 

    works entirely according to impulse repetition control, 

    whereby it makes no difference whether an external 

    button, a programmed-in hand transmitter button or 

    the test button on the control PCB is pressed: 

    1st impulse:   The door travels towards an end-of-travel 

      position. 

    2nd impulse:  the door stops. 

    3rd impulse:   the door travels in the opposite direction. 

    4th impulse:   the door stops. 

    5th impulse:   the door travels in the direction of the end- 

            of-travel position selected with the 1st   

      impulse 

etc. 

    The operator lighting comes on when the door starts to 

    move and automatically goes out 5 or 150 sec. later on 

    completion of the cycle. 

6.2

Operation following actuation of the mechanical/ 

  manual 

release 

    If, for instance due to a mains power failure, the      

    mechanical release was actuated, the carriage must   

    reengage in the door link latch before normal operation  

    can be resumed: 

    1)  Press the green button on the carriage (see figure 

17

). 

    2)  Move the door manually until the carriage reengages 

  in the door link latch. 

    3)  Allow the door to complete several uninterrupted 

  opening and closing cycles to check whether it has 

  fully closed and fully opened. 

    The operator is now ready again to resume normal 

  operation. 

Note 

If, after carrying out several interrupted door cycles, 

the behaviour of the door does not correspond to that 

described in stage 3, it will be necessary to rerun the 

learning procedure (see section 3.2.2). 

6.3   Error messages operator lighting / LED-diagnosis 

    (Lighting diodes, see figure 

7.1

) 

    Via the LED-diagnosis 3 and 4, which are visible after  

    opening the transparent lid, causes for malfunctions can 

            be easily identified. During the normal operation these 

            LEDs are not lighting.  

Lighting:      flashes once within 1 second 

LED: 

   4 

glows 

Cause: 

      A emergency-stop function connected to  

          terminals 12 and 13 has been interrupted or 

     activated 

(see 

section 

4.8). 

Remedy:

      The STOP or emergency-OFF circuit is to be 

          closed. 

Note:

        If a STOP or emergency-OFF circuit is not 

          connected to terminals 12 and 13, check  

          whether the DIP switch 1 (SCH1)  is set at 

          "ON".   

Lighting:      flashes once within 1 second 

LED: 

   4 

flashes 

Cause: 

      A photocell connected to terminals 20 and 71 

          has been interrupted or activated (see   

     section 

4.9/4.10). 

Remedy: 

     Remove the obstruction causing the problem 

          and/or check the photocell, if necessary  

     replace.
