WITH HINGED LIP WITHOUT AUTOMATIC RETURN

Pressing BLEV dock leveler push button, will activate the motor relay and the solenoid valve relay in human presence operation mode, then raise the dock leveler.

The operator must press BLEV until the lip is extended, once it is, the BLEV button can be released and the motor relay will be turned off. The dock leveler must be raised at least during the time (M1-T1).
The dock leveler then automatically lowers to the docking edge of the vehicle (floating position).

No auto return

Press the BLEV button, activating the motor pump relay and solenoid valve relay until it is completely folded.
Release the BLEV button and the motor pump relay is switched off.
The dock leveler automatically lowers to the initial position.

After the time (M1-T5) the dock leveler is in the initial position or SLEV is detected.

WITH HINGED LIP WITH AUTOMATIC RETURN

Pressing BLEV dock leveler push button, will activate the motor pump relay and the solenoid valve relay in human presence operation mode, then raise the dock leveler.

The operator must press BLEV until the lip is extended, once it is, the BLEV button can be released and the motor pump relay will be turned off. The dock leveler must be raised at least during the time (M1-T1).
The dock leveler then automatically lowers to the docking edge of the vehicle (floating position).

Automatic return

Press the FUNC button for 1 second.
The dock leveler is raised by time (M1-T3) activating the motor pump relay and solenoid valve relay.
As soon as the time (M1-T3) reaches the end, the motor pump relay turns off.

The dock leveler automatically lowers to the initial position.
After the time (M1-T5) the dock leveler is in the initial position or SLEV is detected.

WITH EXTENDABLE LIP WITH AUTOMATIC RETURN

Pressing BLEV dock leveler push button, will activate the motor pump relay and the solenoid valve relay in human presence operation mode, then raise the dock leveler. The dock leveler must be raised for at least the time (M1-T1).
After reaching the ideal position, the dock leveler can be stopped, so the user can release the BLEV push button, disconnecting the motor pump relay as well as the solenoid valve relay. The dock leveler will remain in this position for 5 seconds and during this time the lip must be positioned using the OLIP button. If no button is pressed, the dock leveler drops back to the initial position, activating the solenoid valve relay.
The lip can be positioned with the buttons out in the Human Presence operating mode using the OLIP button, activating the motor pump relay as well as the LIP-OP relay. The lip must be expelled for at least the minimum lip exit time (M2-T1). If the time (M2-T2) ‚ is reached, the lip stops automatically, turning off the LIP-OP > MOTOR relay and activating the solenoid valve relay. After releasing the OLIP button and turning off the LIP-OP relay > MOTOR and activating the solenoid valve relay, the dock leveler automatically lowers to the docking edge of the vehicle (floating position)

Automatic return

Press the FUNC button for 1 second.

The dock leveler is raised by time (M1-T3) activating the motor pump relay and solenoid valve relay.
When reaching the value of (M1-T3) the solenoid valve relay is turned off.
The lip is retracted over time (M2-T3) activating the LIP-CL.

Upon reaching the value of (M2-T3) the LIP-CL relay is turned off.
The dock leveler is raised by time (M1-T4) activating the solenoid valve relay.
When this value of (M1-T4) is reached, the solenoid valve relay is turned off.

The lip is completely retracted by activating the LIP-CL relay until it reaches the SLIP limit switch or when it reaches the time of (M2-T4) if SLIP is not used.
Upon reaching this value of (M2-T4) or SLIP, the LIP-CL relay is turned off.
The dock leveler lowers automatically, activating the solenoid valve relay to the initial position.

When reaching the SLEV sensor or reaching the time (M1-T5) the motor pump relay is switched off.
