Extending the APC External AC Transformer (low Voltage)
Maximum cable distance: The low voltage transformer can be run up to 100m in cable distance when using a 2mm pair conductor or greater. To run the transformer to maximum capacity the cable must be cut at the LOW VOLTAGE SIDE within 10cm from the output. Note: Use a weatherproof junc on box to terminate the new cable to the transformer.
Solar system installa on
Taking into account that the solar panels maximum cable distance is 20 metres and the maximum distance between the solar box and the gate controller is 10 metres find a suitable loca on for the moun ng of the box accordingly. Both the solar box and the solar panel are completely weatherproof and can be mounted in complete exposure to the elements.
Step 1: Installing the solar panel
1. The solar panel should be installed at 45º facing mid-day to a ernoon sun. 2. Assemble and install the solar panel in a place that is exposed to the sun most of the day and as far
as possible from any walls or trees. 3. Make sure that the two wires of the solar panel do not touch each other at any me during
installa on. 4. Install the solar panel at least 2m above the ground to protect it from dust and small stones.
Page 7

Solar panel placement
1. A solar panel CANNOT be installed under a tree, it requires sun to charge and maintain the ba eries.
2. A solar system is o en maintenance free BUT the ba eries may require an occasional external charge in the winter months due to lack of sun.
3. Constantly powered accessories such as wired keypads will increase the standby current draw, solar panel or ba ery upgrades may be required if insufficient sun collec on is not achieved.
Step 2: Mounting the APC UNO Solar Box
1. Install the bracket to the wall or post using the appropriate fixings whilst adhering to the maximum cable distance of 10m (note that the system is supplied with 6m).
2. Position the solar box onto the installed bracket and secure in place using the two 4mm allen screws at the bottom.

Energy Saving Mode
This feature cuts the power supply to the photocells when the control unit is in standby, therefore it decreases the power consump on. It is useful in case of ba ery power supply condi ons. Warnings: – When the energy saving mode is ac vated, the open gate pilot light func on is deac vated – The energy saving mode can only be used with safety accessories powered with 24 V DC
Once the func on is ac vated, it is necessary to connect the 24 V DC posi ve pole of the safety accessories (for example: photocells) to terminal GSI. The control devices (receivers and photocells) must be connected to terminal +VA. – If you ac vate the power saving mode all the LEDs will turn OFF a er 2 minutes of stand-by.
Steps for activating the energy saving mode:
1. Press the START bu on for 4 seconds: all LEDs turn OFF 2. Simultaneously press the SET and START bu ons for 2 seconds:
– If the PHOTO LED is ON Energy saving = enabled (if this is the correct se ng go to step 5 otherwise proceed to step 3) – If the PHOTO LED is OFF Energy saving = disabled (if this is the correct se ng go to step 5 otherwise proceed to step 4) 3. Press the SET bu on for 1 second: the LEDs SET and START are ON while the LED PHOTO turns OFF, go to step 5 4. Press the SET bu on for 1 second: the LEDs SET and START are ON while the LED PHOTO turns ON 5. Press the SET and RADIO bu ons simultaneously or wait 10 seconds to exit the procedure: the LEDs return to the normal opera on configura on.

Ba ery Backup System BAT K3
The diagram below will illustrate the ba ery connec on input with Ba ery charging module. Ensure the system is de-powered before beginning the wiring connec ons. TESTING AND COMMISSIONING The following tests should be run immediately a er connec ng the ba ery to the control unit. · Make sure that led “L2” (fig. 1) is on to indicate that the ba ery is supplying power to the system. · Make sure that the different LEDs on the control unit confirm that it is opera ng properly. Note: If these condi ons are not sa sfied, it probably means that the ba ery is completely drained; in this case proceed to the next step and wait a few hours with the automa on system powered by the mains before tes ng the opera on of the ba ery again. · Connect the automa on system to the mains supply and check that the led “L1” (fig. 1) turns on to confirm that the ba ery is recharging properly. · Run at least one open/close cycle to check that the system operates properly when powered off the mains. · Disconnect the automa on system from the mains, and check that led “L2” (fig. 1) is on; run at least one open/close cycle to check that everything is working as it should even with ba ery power. · At the end of the tests, reconnect the automa on to the mains.

Trimmer adjustment

Please not that any adjustments to the trimmers will not take effect un l the gate has completed a setup cycle as per Page No 12.
Varying the POWER trimmer has no effect un l the stroke is reprogrammed. In normal opera on, if the delay trimmer is set to a too low value (not zero : the gate sec ons must be offset to prevent them overlapping) and Gate 1 arrives before Gate 2 , the control unit will automa cally open the gate slightly and the close the sec ons in the correct order (an -overlapping mechanism).
POWER: adjustment of the motor power. Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the motor s power. To validate the modifica on it is necessary to program the gate path. OBS: sensi vity to obstacles. Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the drive me before obstacle detec on (less sensi vity). Therefore, in systems with par cularly unfavorable mechanical condi ons, it is advisable to keep the drive me high. PAUSE: pause me before automa c gate closing. Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the pause me from 0 to 180 seconds. Please note: the AUTO DIP switch must be set to ON. DELAY: staggered closing of the gate leaves. In case of two connected motors, it adjusts the staggering of the leaves. Turning the trimmer clockwise increases the stagger me from 0 seconds un l complete staggering.

4.Gate System Setup Cycle

REMOTE PAIRING & SETUP CYCLE

Scan Me

To start the system setup, one of the following programming procedures must be carried out: – basic programming of the automa on movement: The control unit will learn the gate travel me
and force to determine a default slowdown point. – advanced programming of the automa on s movement: Through this process we can adjust the
slow down points or remove them completely . The procedure for programming the par al opening is used to modify the default opening value.

If, at the start of the following procedures, the set , radio and start LEDs flash, it means that the

programming protec on has been ac vated, see sec on 8.

To interrupt the following programming sequences at any me, press the SET and RADIO bu ons

simultaneously or wait 10 seconds.

Page 12

Basic programming of the automa on movement

The control unit will automa cally detect if the system is a single or double gate system.

Through this procedure, the control unit memorises the travel me and power required for opening and closing the system. In the case of automa ons for double-leaf gates, the control unit causes the full opening and closing of one gate leaf at a me. The slowdown points are automa cally set to 85% of the opening and closing path. Prior to proceeding with the programming procedure, verify that dipswitches 1 and 2 have been correctly set.

1. Manually Move the gate into its mid way posi on .

2. Press the SET bu on for Approx 4 sec. SET Led will turn ON and gate starts moving immediately release the set bu on.

3. The control unit performs a par al opening movement

4. The control unit performs a full closing movement

7. End of programming procedure

6. The control unit performs a full closing movement

5. The control unit performs a full opening movement

CAUTION! – If the automa on starts a closing stroke instead of an opening stroke, proceed as follows:
1. quit programming by pressing SET and RADIO at the same me: for SWING GATE MOTORS: swap the motor phases and the inputs of any limit switches for SLIDING GATE MOTORS: change the se ng of DIP8.
2. reprogram the stroke from point 1. If the operator does not recognise the mechanical stops even with the OBS trimmer set to its minimum, you can select the open and closed points during programming by pressing the SET bu on at the end of points 4, 5 and 6. If the gate has two sec ons, use the SET bu on for both sec ons.
Programming the pedestrian opening width
This procedure allows for defining the width of the pedestrian opening. Default: it is set as fully open of MOTOR 1 for swing gate motors and 30% of the stroke for sliding gate motors (see dip-switches 1 and 2 for se ng the motor type). To control the pedestrian opening, it is necessary to either program a Remote control bu on (see Page 14 ) or connect a wired control device on the PED contact (see sec on 8 )
Prior to proceeding with this programming procedure, first verify whether either the basic automa on movement programming or the advanced programming have been completed.

1. Move the gate to its/theirs fully close posi on

2. Press the SET bu on for 2 second

3. Press the START bu on for 1 second

4. Press the start bu on or a programmed transmi er bu on

8. End of programming procedure

7. The control unit stops the maneuver and causes the gate leaf to close fully

6. Press the start bu on or a programmed transmi er bu on

4. The control unit partly opens the gate
5. The control unit waits for the motors to change the direc on of their opening movement for 8 seconds or press set to proceed

9. For slowing down the opening phase, during the movement press the SET bu on or a programmed transmi er bu on to set the slowdown start point. Alterna vely, wait un l the movement has been completed

12. The control unit performs a full closing movement

11. Press the SET bu on or a programmed transmi er bu on

10. The control unit completes the opening phase

13. For slowing down the closing phase, during the movement press the SET bu on or a programmed transmi er bu on for se ng the slowdown start point. Alterna vely, wait un l the movement has been completed

14. The control unit completes the closing phase

10. End of programming procedure
In the event of motors for hinged leaf (see DIP1 and DIP2 se ng), the control unit will open and close one leaf at a me. If the POWER trimmer is varied, the gate path must be reprogrammed.
If the operator does not recognise the mechanical stops even with the OBS trimmer set to its minimum, you can select the open and closed points during programming by pressing the SET bu on at the end of points 6, 9 and 13. In the event of two gate leaves, use the SET bu on for both leaves.
