HOW TO ADJUST BRAING (WITH ENCODER ONLY)
To adjust braking length in both opening and closing phases, proceed as follows:
- Close the gate (make sure that the closing limit switch is pressed).
- Move DIP 1 to ON
- Send PP control signal (through Step-by-Step Input or memorised remote control). The gate starts opening at normal speed.
- When the gate reaches the desired braking point, send another PP control signal, and the gate will start braking until it is completely opened. Subsequent PP control signals will be ignored.
- With an open and stopped gate, send a PP control signal (through Step-by-Step Input or a memorised remote control). The gate starts closing at normal speed.
- When the gate reaches the desired braking point, send another PP control signal, and the gate will start braking until it is completely closed. Subsequent PP control signals will be ignored.
- Move DIP1 to OFF again.
NOTE
- If braking length does not require any adjustment in both opening and closing, leave the gate to open/close without sending a PP control signal to start braking.
- If safety functions (STOP and PHOT) are activated, the adjustment procedure will be blocked.
- During this phase, the anti-crash sensor is disabled.
- When the Encoder is installed, Trimmer TW provides the function of sensitivity adjustment of the Encoder.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE TORQUE (DIP1: ON)
When DIP1 is moved to ON, the board indicates that the torque has been applied during several flashes (from 1 to 4) of the DL2 green LED, followed by a 3-s interval. The max torque is indicated with the DL2 green LED with fixed light.
To increase the torque, press P1. The DL2 LED changes the number of flashes to indicate the selected torque value. Once the desired torque is selected, move DIP 1 to OFF to memorize this presetting.
PRE-WARNING ACTIVATION/DEACTIVATION (DIP1: ON)
- As soon as DIP1 is to ON, the DL1 red LED indicates whether the pre-warning flashing is activated.
- The pre-warning function can be activated or deactivated with the P2 key. LED DL1 On: Activated pre-warning, the indicator lamp switches on for approx. 3 seconds before the motor starts.
- LED DL1 Off. Pre-warning is deactivated.
SERVICE MAN MODE
- With all DIPs on ON, the control unit switches to SERVICE MAN mode.
- The PHOT input has the CLOSE push-button function (connect the button with N.O. contact).
- The PP input has the OPEN push-button function (connect the button with N.O. contact).
- The OPEN/CLOSE push buttons must be kept pressed during operation. The opening of the STOP input stops the motor.
- The contemporary pressure of OPEN/CLOSE stops the motor.
RADIO SELF-LEARNING (DIP1: OFF)
- The CORE control unit is equipped with a built-in radio module for the fixed or roll-on code ofthe remote controls, with a 433.92 MHz frequency.
- To use a remote control, it is first necessary to store its code in memory. The memorisation procedure is described hereunder. The device can store up to 64 different codes in memory.
- By pressing P1, the control unit enters the radio learning phase: DL1 red LED flashes 1 time per second, awaiting the key to match the Step-by-Step function;
- When the key is stored in memory, exit from the programming mode.
- By pressing P1 twice, the DL1 red LED flashes 2 times per second, and the pedestrian learning phase is entered (the pedestrian function controls an opening operation of 7s).
- When the key to be matched is memorised, exit from the programming mode.
- If the programming mode must be left without storing any remote control signal, press the P1 key until DL1.
- Red LED starts to flash in “power on” mode (see LED diagnostics on page 7).
- To reset the memory of the receiver, press and keep the P1 and P2 keys pressed for around 10 seconds (During this period, both DL1 and DL2 flash rapidly.)
- After 10 seconds, when the two LEDs are switched on with fixed light, release the push buttons.
- When the LEDs switch back again to the original configuration, the control unit has completed the memory reset.
NOTE
The transmitters are memorised on an EPROM memory (U2), which can be extracted from the control unit and inserted into a new CORE control unit should a replacement be required. For safety reasons, the transmitters can be stored in memory during the opening/closing of the motor.
TRANSMITTER REMOTE LEARNING
If the transmitter code is already stored in the receiver, the remote radio learning can be carried out. (without accessing the control unit).
IMPORTANT: The procedure should be carried out with the ate in the opening phase, during the TCA dwell time.
Proceed as follows
- Press the hidden key of the transmitter, the code of which has already been stored in memory.
- Within 5 seconds, press the already memorised transmitter key corresponding to the channel to be matched to the new transmitter. The flashing light switches on.
- Within 10 seconds, press the hidden key of the new transmitter.
- Within 5 seconds, press the key of the new transmitter to be matched to the channel selected in item 2. The flashing light switches off.
- The receiver stores the new transmitter code and exits from the programming mode immediately.
LED DIAGNOSTICS
The red LED DL1 indicates the activation of inputs according to the legend hereunder:
- Stop with the fixed light
- PHOT rapid flashing
- SWO 1 flash with a 2-second interval
- SWC 2 flashes with a 2-second interval
- OPEN+CLOSE 3 flashes with a 2-second interval
- By flashing slowly, the red LED DL1 also indicates that the unit is powered.
- The green LED DL2 indicates the movement direction of the motor and the status of the gate according to

Pozdravljeni zanima me zakaj ko dam tca do konca mi ne izklopi samodejno zapiranje
Why does the automatic closing feature not work when the TCA trimmer is turned all the way?
According to the BENINCA CORE manual, the TCA (Automatic Closure Time) trimmer has a specific setting for deactivation. If you are trying to turn off the automatic closing feature, please note the following:
If you have turned it fully clockwise and the gate still closes automatically, check if DIP-switch 5 (Rapid Closure) is set to ON, as this can trigger closure approximately 3 seconds after the photocells are triggered, provided TCA is active. Also, ensure that the DL2 LED status matches the manual's diagnostic: it should be off when the gate is closed and should not be flashing in a way that indicates "Open gate with TCA" (rapid flash) when you intend for it to be disabled.
