6.2 Advanced menu:

6.3 Menu description:

6.3.1 Base settings menu

tCL Auto reclosing time

Active when the gate is in the completely open position; the gate automatically closes after tCL seconds. In this phase, the display shows [ - - ] with the blinking dash, which during the last 10 seconds will be replaced by the countdown.

ttr Auto reclosing time after transit

If, in the opening phase or in the completely open position, the beam of the photocells is obscured and freed, the gate automatically closes after ttr seconds when the completely open position is reached. In this phase, the display shows [ - - ] with the blinking dash, which during the last 10 seconds will be replaced by the countdown.

Trq Motor torque

Adjust the motor torque to ensure correct functioning of the gate. The torque can be adjusted from 10% to 100%. After adjusting this parameter, it is recommended to perform a complete movement (opening and closing) to ensure correct functioning of the gate.

SSL Slowing down mode

The control unit has 2 different types of slowing downs: standard or with higher torque and speed, for heavier gates.

SbS Step by step configuration (SS)

• SbS = 0 Normal (OP-ST-CL-ST-OP-ST...) Typical functioning of Step by Step. During movement, an SS command stops the gate.
• SbS = 1 Alternated STOP (OP-ST-CL-OP-ST-CL...) Alternated functioning with STOP during opening. During the opening phase, an SS command stops the gate.
• SbS = 2 Alternated (OP-CL-OP-CL...) The user cannot stop the gate during movement with an SS command. An SS command during movement inverts the movement.
• SbS = 3 Condominium - timer. An SS command only opens the gate. When the gate is completely open, if the command persists, the control unit waits until the contact opens before starting the automatic reclosing countdown (if enabled). Another SS command in this phase will restart the automatic reclosing countdown.
• SbS = 4 Condominium with immediate auto reclosing.

SSt Soft start

The movement begins with reduced torque, used in light gates.

dLy Second wing delay

This setting determines the delay of the second wing to ensure correct overlapping of the wings. The delay is the same for opening and closing. If set to 0, the control unit will completely remove the delay. Warning: ensure proper wing overlapping.

LsI Amplitude of slowing down

This parameter allows adjustment of the slowing down amplitude and optional disabling (LsI=0). For more precise or different slowing down between opening and closing, set the parameter LsI to P (personalized) and perform an advanced learning of strokes (5.2), also specifying the beginning of slowing downs during learning.

AsL Anti slip

This parameter is used if the motor slips. The control unit adds AsL seconds to the movement to ensure complete wing movements even in the worst conditions.

nMt Number of motors

This parameter is used to set the number of motors. Learning operations and functionality will be modified based on this parameter.

6.3.2 Advanced menu

LP.o. Partial opening

Partial opening can only be performed starting from closed. The parameter sets the opening as a percentage of the total stroke of the first wing.

tP.r. Pre-flashing time

Pre-flashing before each movement in both directions, tP.r. seconds of pre-flashing.

FC.Y. Courtesy light settings

The control unit has 4 different functions for courtesy light:

• FC.Y. = 0: The light switches off at the end of a movement after tC.Y. seconds.
• FC.Y. = 1: Open gate light - the light switches off immediately when the gate reaches the closed position.

tC.Y. Courtesy light timer

Courtesy light activation timer.

dE.R. Dead man

During dead man functioning mode, the gate moves only with a permanent command. The enabled commands are OPEN and CLOSE. SS and PED are disabled. During dead man functioning, all automatic movements are disabled, such as short or total inversions. All safety devices are disabled except for STOP.

HA.o. Water-hammer in opening phase

This function is used with an electrical lock. Before opening, the gate closes briefly on the mechanical stop with the electrical lock activated to ensure correct declutching. The parameter is the time of pressure on the mechanical stop before opening, settable from 0.1s to 10s. The sequence performed by the control unit before opening is:

• Preventive activation of the electrical lock [1.5s]. ATTENTION! Enable electrical lock in the advanced menu parameter: ELM = 2.
• Motor activation in closing with maximum torque. The duration of this phase is set by the parameter HA.o.
• Inversion of direction with another 2 seconds of activation of the electrical lock. Enable electrical lock in the advanced menu parameter: ELM.

HA.c. Water-hammer in closing phase

This function is used with an electrical lock. When the gate reaches the closing mechanical stop, the control unit performs a strong pressure, HA.c. seconds long, to ensure the locking of the electrical lock. Enable the electrical lock from the advanced menu parameter ELM (if used).

MP.r. Time of pressure in closed position for hydraulic motors

This function is used to maintain high pressure in hydraulic motors. When the gate is closed, the control unit performs 1 minute of closing every MP.r. minutes to maintain high pressure in the motors and the correct closed position.

ELM. Electrical Lock mode

• ELM = 0: Disabled.
• ELM = 1: The electrical lock is activated when the automation performs an opening movement.
• ELM = 2: The electrical lock is activated when the automation performs an opening movement. In the opening phase, it is activated with a safety advance time of 1.5 seconds.
• ELM = 3: For magnetic electric locks, always active when the gate is closed (except when the motor is under pressure in the closed position), disabled when the gate is not closed.

tr.S. Viewing of the memory position for a single transmitter

Using the menu item tr.S., it is possible to view the memory location where a transmitter is memorized. To perform the function, navigate to tr.S. and confirm by pressing the [MENU] button. Keep pressed the [MENU] button until the display shows [SEE], then release the button. At this point, press a button of the memorized transmitter (it will not activate any command). The display shows:

• The memory location for 2 seconds, if memorized.
• The written [nob] for 2 seconds, if not memorized.

After 2 seconds, the display returns to the [SEE] screen, and it will be possible to perform this function with another transmitter. To exit the function, press the [MENU] button. Otherwise, after 15 seconds of inactivity, the control unit exits the function and shows [tout].

tr.C. Cancellation of a single transmitter

Using the menu item tr.C., it is possible to delete a single transmitter from memory. To perform the function, navigate to tr.C. and confirm by pressing the [MENU] button. Keep pressed the [MENU] button until the display shows [0], then release the button. Select the memory location of the transmitter. Press and hold the [MENU] button until the display shows [CLr], then release the button. To exit the function, press the [MENU] button. If the display shows [Err], there are problems with the memory (e.g., empty position or disconnected memory).

dE.F. Restore default settings

Using this parameter, it is possible to restore the control unit's default settings. The reset will restore all parameters in the base and advanced menus but will not modify learned strokes, motor directions, or transmitters. Navigate to dE.F., then keep pressed the [MENU] button until the display shows [0], release the button. Press and hold the [MENU] button again; the display will show a countdown (d80, d79, ..., d01). Do not release the button until the display shows [don].
