These instructions are to be considered as a rapid guide for installation and to confirm the correct handing and polarity of the motors. They can also be used to confirm the
operating logic before additional safety devices are fitted to the system as specified by the Risk Assessment undertaken by the installer. The installer should still familiarise
themselves with the full manual and the safety information contained within.

Connect a Photocell as per the below or Link Terminal 28 to 29, you can also wire a Photocell into Input 6 as shown below and configure the Input to Safety in P600 = 2 for the safety device. (Page 51 of the main manual) Please note that by default P600 once set to safety device only functions on closing. If acting on opening is required, please set P640 = 0 and P642 = 1 for Reversal to Fully Closed.

Configuring the EP104

Before starting programming the EP104, it is best to familiarize yourself with navigating through the menus. The EP104 display can show a value up to 4 digits long, or a channel number with the prefix C, d, F, L, o, P, or r followed by 3 digits. If an E appears followed by a 3-digit number, this is an Error message (please refer to Error Messages in
the main manual on page 53). Please note that on the first power-up, the display will show EP-1 or EP-2 which is identifying if this is a unit design for one or two motors, respectively.

Please study the below, which explains the process.

EP104 – First Steps

Step 1

First navigate to C999 and change the value to “0” (this allows display of all registers).

Ensure that Photo/Safe/Stop/24V are all illuminated Green. To check motor rotation and encoders, we first put the EP104 into Service Mode. In this mode only the internal Open/Stop/Close buttons are functional. It should come default in this mode.

Set CO33 = 5

Step 2 — Main Power Settings

Set Power type in C202 to “0” for 3-Phase 400V with Neutral, or “2” for Single Phase with Neutral (Asymmetric).

Step 3 — Checking Motor Direction

To test the operation of the motor as we are in Service Mode, set L001= 4 and set L002 = 0, this will allow movement of only Motor 1. If you are using an EP104-1, please disregard L002.

At this point, you should be able to use the Dead-Man Controls on the board itself (The three buttons below the display, 1″ Black is the Open, 2″ Black is Close) to move the gate in the desired direction. If the gate moves in the opposite direction to the button being pressed, you need to switch the motor polarity as shown in the Power and Motor Connections section above or double-check L110 = 1 (Motor 1 on the left as viewed from inside) or 2 (Motor 1 on the right as viewed from inside). If you are using an EP104-2, repeat the process but set L001 = 0 and set L002 = 4 and perform the same test but now double-check L120 = 1 (Motor 2 on the left as viewed from inside) or 2 (Motor 2 on the right as viewed from inside). Please only press the button for a second or so to check movement as otherwise, it is most likely that an error will be generated, as have not yet set the power readings.

If it does not move, something is not wired correctly, check incoming voltage, motor connections first.

Step 4 – Motor Power and Encoder Settings

We can now adjust the power and encoder settings of the EP104. If you have a Single Leaf system, please skip to (14). At this stage, the gates can be in any position, ideally halfway to start and engaged to the operator.

1. Set L001= 0 and L002 = 4
2. Set C240 =0
3. C241 (Motor Power Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
4. Set C242 = average value recorded from C241 when opening plus 0.3
5. Set C243 = average value recorded from C241 when closing plus 0.3
6. C261 (Motor Current Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
7. Set C262 = average value recorded from C261 when opening
8. Set C263 = average value recorded from C261 when closing
9. Set L002 = 1
10. Check L120 is set to either “1” if Motor 2 is on the Left or “2” if on the right (viewed from the motor side)
11. L121 (Position Readout Motor 2). Press and hold the Open Button on the board until the gate is fully open and make a note of the value. Now press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value
12. Set L122 = value recorded from L121 when fully open
13. Set L123 = value recorded from L121 when fully closed
14. Set L002 = 0 and L001= 4
15. Set C230 =0.0
16. C231 (Motor Power Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
17. Set C232 = average value recorded from C231 when opening plus 0.3
18. Set C233 = average value recorded from C231 when closing plus 0.3
19. C251 (Motor Current Readout), it should say 0.00 with the gate stopped. Press and hold the Open Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving and then press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value when the gate is moving
20. Set C252 = average value recorded from C261 when opening
21. Set C253 = average value recorded from C261 when closing
22. Set L001= 1
23. Check L110 is set to either “1” if Motor 1 is on the Left or “2” if on the right (viewed from the motor side)
24. L111 (Position Readout Motor 1). Press and hold the Open Button on the board until the gate is fully open and make a note of the value. Now press the Close Button on the board and make a note of the value
25. Set L112 = value recorded from L111 when fully open
26. Set L113 = value recorded from L111 when fully closed
27. Set L002 = 1

At this stage, while the EP104 is in Service Mode, the Internal Open and Close Buttons will operate the gate/s in Dead-Man Operation within the encoder settings set above.

Step 5 – Safety Edge Circuit

Wire in Safety Edges as shown below. Please note that the External Unit for personal protection is representing an optional wireless Safety Edge Controller system.

If NO Safety edges are to be connected to the control board, please adjust the following parameters accordingly otherwise it will not function correctly. (Page 36, 37)

NO SE.C1 Edge (Closing) —C111 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.C2 Edge (Closing) —C121 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.01 Edge (Opening)— C131 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required) NO SE.O2 Edge (opening)— C141 = 0 (adjust to 2 if required)

Step 6 – Take the EP104 out of Service Mode

Set CO33 = 3. In this mode, the gate will function from the internal buttons and will operate in a single press to Open fully with the Open Button and a single press to Close fully with the Close Button and all safeties active.

EP104 – Inputs and Automatic Closing

Inputs

The EP104-1 has 6 different inputs, as shown below.

Partial Openings

If only 1 gate is required to open in a double gate system from time to time, we would normally suggest using Input 3. The following settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.

Set P360 = 1
Set P362 = 1

In this method, only Motor 1 will open fully and close if automatic closing is enabled. If P362 is set to “2” then only Motor 2 will open fully and close if automatic closing is enabled.

If you would like to enable the partial opening of Motor 1 or/and Motor 2 from time to time, we would normally suggest using Input 4 (if Input 3 is already in use above). The following settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.

Set P460 = 1

Set P462 = 1 if applicable to Motor 1 only, 2 if applicable to Motor 2 only or 3 if applicable to both Motors Set P463 = 1

Set L116 = degree position where Motor 1 will stop (use L111 to see the reading in normal operation)
Set L126 = degree position where Motor 2 will stop (use L121 to see the reading in normal operation)

Automatic Closing
By default, the EP104 operates by using Input Commands as shown in the diagram above and it is in a Pulse to Open and Pulse to Close function. If Automatic Closing is required, please set the parameter below.

Set C500 = Automatic Closing time 0(minutes).00(seconds), i.e. 20 seconds pause time = 0.20

If you would like to set the Parking Logic function whereby the Closing Safety Photocell will trigger a command to close once activated and then cleared. You can also set a delay as per below from the Photocell trigger.

Set C351 = 1

Set C354 = 1 to close immediately or 2 to close only once the gate is fully open

Set C510 = Delay before automatic closing 00(seconds), i.e. 20 seconds pause time = 20

EP104 – Outputs and Connecting a Lock

Outputs
The EP104 does not have any outputs natively. If the output is required to control traffic lights, control locks or provide position indicators to a BMS on-site, then the use of a DB407 Output Card is required. Please note that if you are replacing a version 4.06 or below EP104, you will also require a new DB407 as the current control boards are not
compatible with the older versions of the DB401 (the original version of the output card). The DB407 is connected to the EP104 and wired as shown below.

Please ensure that the EP104 is completely powered down before installation of the output card and that the desired outputs are wired in as per the below, and then power the EP104 back on.

In general terms, the DB407 is used to both connect a Magnetic Lock to the gate and/or connect a traffic light system.

Wiring a Magnetic Lock to an EP104
When it is being used to connect a Magnetic lock, we would recommend the use of o2 and i1 and run a separate power supply positive to the Magnetic Lock through the Output 2 relay (shown in the next page). This Output is already pre-configured to be enabled in the closed position and disabled as soon as the gate gets a command to open.

Wiring a Traffic Light to a EP104
When it is being used to connect a Traffic Light, we would recommend the use of o5 and o6 and i3 and run a separate power supply positive to the Traffic Light and you would switch the negative through the outputs as per below. Magnetic Lock through Output 2 relay (shown in the next page). The following settings will need to be adjusted to make it function in this method.
Set o500 = 1
Set o511 = 1
Set o512 = 1
Set o513 = 3
Set o600 = 1
Set o610 = 1
