OPENING - CLOSING DIRECTIONS

Power up the system and set the opening direction on the 
board (see Section 5.5.1).

I

f opening direction is to the RIGHT

 (

):

OPENING limit-switch LED = 

FC1

CLOSING limit-switch LED = 

FC2

If opening direction is to the LEFT

 

(

):

OPENING limit-switch LED = 

FC2

CLOSING limit-switch LED =

Note: for RF chain applications the wires on Mot1 and Mot2 
(See Fig. 23) need to be reversed.

6.1. 

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

Make all electrical connections to the board as described in 
Section 5, including grounding the operator (Fig. 34).

6.3.  

DETERMINING STOP POINTS AT TRAVEL    

 LIMIT

The 844 operator has a limit sensor switch which, by detecting 
the transit of a reference applied to the rack, commands 
the motor to stop. The device can be magnetic (Fig. 41) or 
inductive (Fig. 42).

6.3.1.  

Magnetic Limit-Switch (MLS) 

The MLS limit-switch detects the transit of two magnets fitted 
on the side of the rack facing the operator.
Procedure for correct positioning of the two supplied magnets:

1.  Check that the operator is in manual mode (see Sec.8).
2.  Manually open the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of the 

travel limit mechanical stop.

3.  Fit the magnet (without removing the protective film from 

the adhesive side) on the side of the rack facing the 
operator, aligning the upper edges. Slide the magnet on 
the rack in opening direction until the relevant LED turns 
on (Fig. 22 and 41), then move the magnet forward an 
additional 1 3/4 inches.

4.  Manually close the gate to within 3/4 to 2 inches of the 

travel limit mechanical stop.

5.  Fit the magnet (without removing the protective film from 

the adhesive side) on the side of the rack facing the 
operator, aligning the upper edges. Slide the magnet on 
the rack in closing direction until the relevant LED turns 
on (Fig. 22 and 41), then move the magnet forward an 
additional 1 3/4 inches.

6.  Move the gate to its halfway travel point and relock the 

system (see Sec. 9).

7.  Find out the desired pre- and post-limit-switch decelera-

tion values (see Section 5.5.2) and run the automated 
system for at least one complete cycle.

Display 

                   Function 

Default

Note 1

:  To reset the programming default settings, check 

that the edge input is closed (SAFE LED ON), and 
simultaneously press keys 

+,  - 

and 

F

, holding them 

down for 5 seconds.

Note 2

:  Modifications of programming parameters take 

effect immediately, whereas changes are saved to 
memory only after you exit programming and return 
to normal gate status viewing. If the equipment is 
powered down before returning to status viewing, 
any modifications will be lost.

ASSISTANCE REQUEST (combined with 
next function):

If activated, at the end of countdown (see the 
next function: "Cycle Programming") it effects 
2 sec. (in addition to the value already set 
with the PF function) of pre-flashing at every 
Open pulse (job request). It can be useful to 
set scheduled maintenance jobs.

 = Active

 = Disabled

WORK TIME (time-out):

It is advisable to set a value of 5 to 10 seconds 

over the time taken by the gate to travel from 
the closing limit-switch to the opening limit-
switch and vice versa. 

Adjustable from 

 to 

 sec. in one-se-

cond steps.
Subsequently, display changes to minutes and 
tens of seconds (separated by a point) and 
time is adjusted in 10 second steps, up to a 
maximum value of 

 minutes.

Attention: the set value will not exactly 
match the motor's maximum operating 
time if decelerations are used.

PARTIAL OPENING:

You can adjust the width of partial leaf ope-
ning. from 

 to 

.

For example, with pinion Z20, partial opening 
can vary from 2' to 13'.

CYCLE PROGRAMMING:

To set countdown of system operation cycles. 
Settable (in thousands) from 

 to   

 

thousand cycles.

The displayed value is updated as cycles 
proceed.

GATE STATUS:

Exit from programming, save data and 
return to viewing gate status (see Section  
5.5.1.).
