Description

Are you ready for the Eclipse? The MC’s Eclipse operating system is a user friendly menu driven system that uses the 1-touch button to control, setup and run automatic gates, doors and barriers. It uses a large 4-line LCD screen showing live reading of the motor performance and status of all inputs and outputs.
The MC controller is not just the next generation but the industry game changer. We wanted to create a controller that is simple to use and does just about any feature required in the gate and door industry. The MC is not just the next generation but the “Next Transformation” in the gate and door industry creating an Eclipse over previously developed motor controllers.

This new intelligent motor controller is the best match for your automatic gate or door motors.
The intelligent controller was built from the ground up, based on customer feedback and using todays technology. With its rich functions, consumer friendly price and with the focus during development being ease of use and setup makes this controller the ultimate board to control your motors.
Elsema’s easy options to add remote controls or any type of Photoelectric Beams makes for a very user friendly approach, while avoiding the lockdown approach to accessories.

The control cards are available with an IP66 rated plastic enclosure for outdoor installations, backup batteries with charger or the card only. The MC is also suitable for solar gates with its very low standby current.

MC Connection Diagram

DNS Connection : On the top right corner of the control card is a connection for Day and Night Sensor (DNS). This sensor is available from Elsema and is used to detect daylight. This feature can be used to Auto Close the gate at night, turn on the courtesy light or lights on your gates during the night and many more features which require a day and night detection.

Electrical Wiring – Supply, Motors, Battery and Inputs

Always switch off power before doing any wiring.

Make sure that all the wiring is completed and that the motor is connected to the control card.
Recommended wire strip length should be 12mm for all connections to the plug in terminal blocks.
The diagram below shows the supply, motors, battery backup and inputs available and the factory default setting for each input.

If you are using mechanical stops move to the Setup i-Learning Steps. Skip Limit Switch section. If you are using limit switches make sure they are connected properly. The control card can operate with either the limit switches connected directly to the cards terminal blocks or in series with the motor.

Before Setup

The MC control card can be installed in a variety of installtion setup. Below are 3 common setup. It is very important to select the correct setup type during i-Learn.

No limit switches.
In this setup, the card relies on the current draw of the motor to determine the fully open and fully closed positions. You need to adjust your margins accordingly to get the gate to fully open and closed. Setting margins too high can cause the motor to stall in the open or closed postion. (See troubleshooting guide).
Limit switches connected to the Control card.
The limit switches can be Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO). You need to select the correct type during i-Learn. In this setup the limit switches are wired directly to the control card.
Limit switches in series with the motor.
The limit switches are connected in series with the motor. The limit switches will disconnect power to the motor when activated.

Setup i-Learning Steps

Look at the LCD and follow the instructions displayed.
The i-Learning setup can always be interrupted with the stop button or by pressing the Master Control knob.

Enter Menu 13 to start i-Learning or new control cards will automatically prompt you to do the i-Learning.
The control card will open and close the gates or doors several times to learn the load and travel distances. This is the auto profiling using latest intelligent technology.
Buzzer will indicate learning was successful. If there was no buzzer check all electrical wiring including the power supply then go back to step 1.

If you hear the buzzer after the i-Learn, the gate or door is ready for use.

Limit Switches
If you are using limit switches make sure they are connected properly. The control card can operate with either the limit switches connected directly to the cards terminal blocks or in series with the motor. Check diagrams below:By default the limit switch inputs on the control card are normally closed (NC). This can be changed to normally open (NO) during the setup steps.

Optional Accessory

G4000 – GSM Dialler – 4G Gate Opener
The addition of a G4000 module to Eclipse control cards transforms their functionality by enabling mobile phone operation for gates. This integration allows users to remotely open or close the gate with a free phone call. The G4000 enhances convenience, security and efficiency, making it an ideal upgrade for modern access control systems.
See the wiring diagram below:

* Connect to Open input on the control card if Open Only function is required

During i-Learn, the gate will open and close 3 times. First cycle is in slow speed. The second cycle is in fast speed. The third cycle will be in fast speed but the gate will slow down before reaching the end.

Error during i-Learn	Remedy
i-Learn is stuck at 14%	Decrease M1 and M2 Slow Speed Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.3 & 10.3)
i-Learn is stuck at 28%	Decrease M1 and M2 Open Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.1 & 10.1)
Gates do not fully open or fully close in the 1st i-Learn cycle	Increase M1 and M2 Slow Speed Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.3 & 10.3)
Gates do not fully open or fully close in the 2nd i-Learn cycle	Increase M1 and M2 Open or Close Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.1, 9.2 & 10.1, 10.2)
Limit switch failed to register and the gate is not in the fully open or closed position.	For 1st cycle. Increase M1 and M2 Slow Speed Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.3 & 10.3). For 2nd & 3rd cycle. Increase M1 and M2 Open or Close Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.1, 9.2 & 10.1, 10.2)
Limit switch failed to register and the gate is in the fully open or closed position.	Limit switch position is not correct. The gate has reached the physical stopper or it’s maximum travel before the limit switch is activated.

Error during Operation	Remedy
Gate does not fully open or fully close but the LCD says “Gate Opened” or “Gate Closed”.	Increase M1 and M2 Slow Speed Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.3 & 10.3) depending on which motor did not fully open or close.
LCD says “Obstruction detected” when there is no obstruction.	Increase M1 and M2 Open or Close Obstruction Margin (Menu 9.1, 9.2 & 10.1, 10.2)
Gate does not respond to remotes or any local trigger.	Check the LCD for Input status (see previous page). If any input is activated and held active, the card will not respond to any other command.

Accessories

Backup Batteries & Battery Charger
The control card has a built in charger for backup batteries. Simply connect the batteries to the battery terminal and the charger will automatically charge the batteries. Elsema has a range of battery sizes.
Solar Applications
Elsema stocks solar gate controller kits, solar panels, solar chargers and full solar gate operators as well.
WARNING
To use the control card in a solar application you must set the correct voltage input in the Tools Menu (16.2). This will disable the automatic voltage sensing which could causes problems in solar applications.
Pre-made Inductive Loops & Loop Detectors
Elsema has a range of Saw-Cut and Direct Burial loops. They are pre-formed with recommended loop sizes for commercial or domestic applications and makes installation quick and easy.
Wireless Bump Strip
Safety edge bump strip is installed on the moving gate or barrier along with the transmitter. When the gate hits an obstacle, the transmitter transmits a wireless signal to the receiver to stop the gate from causing further damage.
