mentioned regulations. For example, if the cable is out side (in the open), it
has to be at least equal to H07RN-F, but if it is on the inside (or outside but
placed in a plastic cable cannel) it has to be or at least egual to H05VV-F

bridged.
with DSW9 ON Input for OPEN Button (N.O.).*
9-14 Input with function selectable from DSW9 and DSW10:

bridged.
with DSW9 ON and DSW10 OFF, Input for CLOSE Button (N.O.).*

pedestrian command is active from gate fully closed; if the gate is not
closed, the PEDESTRIAN button carries out the START functions.*
15-16 Output 24V for accessory power supply 200mA MAX.
17-18 Output for second radio channel, N.O. contact (24V / 1A max.). If an external
receiver is used, it must be a double-channel receiver.
A dry N.O. contact must be electrically connected to the terminals.
19-20 Input for receiver antenna (20 Braid, 19 Signal).
*With operation without limit switches, the motors remain active for the working
time set.
RX
Connector for the external receiver board.
5) LED (Fig.3)
The ALCOR N control units are provided with a series of self-diagnosis LEDs
which control all the functions.
POWER: Led for power supply on.
OP: Led for Signal indication of Motors active on Opening / Led for Radio
Programming.
CL: Led for Signal indication of Motors active on Closing.
START: It comes on with the START command.
STOP: goes off when a STOP command is given.
PHOT: photocell - goes off when the photocells are not aligned or in the presence
of obstacles.
SWO: Led for signal indication of input 13 status:
led on= input closed, led off= input open.
SWC: Led for signal indication of input 14 status:
led on= input closed, led off= input open.
6) DIP-SWITCH SELECTION (Fig.3)
DIP1) TCA [ON] - Automatic closing time TCA.
ON: Activates automatic closing
OFF: Excludes automatic closing
DIP2) FCH [OFF] - Photocells.
ON: Photocells are only active in the closing phase. If the photocells are ob-
structed during closing, the gate reverses its movement and carries out
an opening manoeuvre.
OFF: Photocells are active both in the closing and opening phase. If the photo-
cells are obstructed, the gate stops. When the photocells are cleared, the
gate resumes it opening manoeuvre.
DIP3) BLI -[OFF] Blocks impulses.
ON: START commands are not accepted during the opening phase.
OFF: START commands are accepted during the opening phase.
DIP4) 3P/4P -[OFF] 3 Steps/4 Steps
ON: Enables 3-step logic. A start impulse has the following effects:
door closed:..............................................................................opens
on opening:.................................stops and enters TCA if configured
door open:................................................................................closes
on closing:................................................................................opens
after stopping:...........................................................................opens
OFF: Enables 4-step logic. A start impulse has the following effects:
door closed:..............................................................................opens
on opening:.................................stops and enters TCA if configured
door open:................................................................................closes
on closing:................................stops and does not enter TCA (stop)
after stopping:...........................................................................opens
DIP5) CODE FIX [OFF] – Fixed code.
ON: Activates incorporated receiver in fixed code mode.
OFF: Activates incorporated receiver in rolling-code mode.
DIP6) RADIO LEARN [OFF] - Radio transmitter programming
ON: This enables transmitter storage via radio:
1 – First press the hidden key (P1) and then the normal key (T1, T2, T3 or
T4) of a transmitter already memorised in standard mode by means of
the radio menu.
2 – Within 10s press the hidden key (P1) and the normal key (T1, T2, T3 or
T4) of a transmitter to be memorised.
The receiver exits the programming mode after 10s, other new transmitters
can be entered before the end of this time.
This mode does not require access to the control panel.
OFF: This disables transmitter storage via radio. The transmitters can only be
memorised by pressing the SW1 and SW2 keys (see paragraph 10).
DIP7) STOP MAINTENANCE [OFF]
ON: If motors stay idle in fully closed position for more than one hour, they
are switched on in the direction of the stop for approx. 3 seconds. This
operation is performed every hour.
N.B.: This function has the purpose of compensating any oil volume decre-
ase in the hydraulic motors, due to a temperature drop during prolonged
pauses, for instance at night, or to internal leaks.
IMPORTANT - When no adequate mechanical backstops are installed, do
not use this function. It is also to be absolutely avoided in the automation
of sliding gates.
OFF: Excludes the said function.
DIP8) Ram blow on opening [OFF]
ON: It pushes for approx. 2 seconds in closing direction before opening. This
allows the electric lock to be released more easily (not affected by limit
switches).
OFF: Excludes the ram blow in closing.
IMPORTANT - When no adequate mechanical backstops are installed, do
not use this function. It is also to be absolutely avoided in the automation
of sliding gates.
DIP 9) Function Selection for inputs 13-14 Limit Switches / Buttons
ON: Inputs 13 and 14 are set as Control button inputs. Input 13 for OPEN button,
input 14 according to DSW 10 configuration. With this configuration, the
motors remain active for the working time set.
OFF: Inputs 13 and 14 are set as Opening and Closing limit switch inputs,
respectively.
DIP 10) Function Selection for control button inputs 13-14*
N.B. Only with DSW 9 ON. With DSW 9 OFF, the DSW 10 position has no effect.
OFF: Input 14 configured as CLOSE input.
ON: Input 14 configured as PEDESTRIAN input.
*If, when the board is activated, the closing limit switch is neither enabled nor
operating, at the time of the first manoeuvre neither the ram blow nor the pe-
destrian opening are carried out.
7) TRIMMER ADJUSTMENT (Fig.3)
TCA (Dip1 ON).
It is used to set the automatic closing time, after which the gate closes automa-
tically (adjustable from 0 to 120 sec.).
TW
It is used to set the motor working time, after which the motor stop (adjustable
from 1 to 90 sec.). When using electrical limit switches, increase the motor stopping
