Description

The Motor Controller Single (MCS) is more than just the succeeding generation; it’s a revolution in the industry. Our aim was to devise a controller that’s user-friendly and capable of performing virtually every task demanded in the gate and door industry. The MCS represents not merely an advancement but a “Quantum Leap” in the industry, casting an Eclipse over all previously developed motor controllers.This new intelligent motor controller is the best match for your automatic gate or door motors.

The MCS’s Eclipse® Operating System (EOS) 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 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.

MCS Connection Diagram

Electrical Wiring – Supply, Motors 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, and inputs available and the factory default setting for each input.

Before Setup
The MCS control card can be installed in a variety of installation 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 11 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 gate or door 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. See the 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 Dialer – 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.

Normal Auto Close
The gate will close after this timer has counted down to zero.
Auto Close with Photoelectric Trigger
This Auto Close starts counting down as soon as the Photoelectric Beam has been cleared after a trigger even if the gate is not fully open. If there is no Photoelectric Beam trigger the gate will not Auto Close.
Auto Close after an Open Obstruction
If the gate opens and hits an obstruction normally the gate will stop and remain in this position. If this feature is enabled an obstruction will start the timer count down and at zero will close the gate.

Auto Close after Power Restored
If the gate is open in any position and then there is a power failure, when power is reconnected the gate will close with this timer.
Normal Auto Close on Sequential Obstructions
If the normal Auto Close is set and the gate closes onto an object the gate will stop and reopen. This setting sets the amount of times the gate will try to Auto Close. After trying for the set limit the gate will remain open.
Auto Close Only when Fully Opened
The Auto Close timer will not time out unless the gate is fully open.

Menu 2 – Pedestrian Access

There are several types of Pedestrian Access modes. Pedestrian Access opens the gate for a short time to allow someone to walk through the gate but does not allow access to a vehicle.
Elsema Pty Ltd recommends a Photoelectric Beam to be connected to the control card when any of the Auto Close options are used.
