8. ENCODER OPERATION
The unit is designed to be connected to an Encoder (optional) which guarantees a greater safety level.
During operation, the motor power is managed directly by the encoder, which detects any obstacles during gate movement. In case of
an obstacle, the encoder will reverse the movement of the gate for 2 seconds, without disabling automatic re-closing, if enabled. Only if it
goes into action 2 consecutive times it will place the unit in STOP mode and disable any automatic reclosing. The reason for this is that if
it goes into action more than once it means that the obstacle is still there and any automatic actions could be a source of danger. Once it
is in STOP mode it is necessary to provide an OPEN A or B pulse to resume normal operation. The sensitivity of the encoder is adjusted
using dip-switches 7-8 (see paragraph 7).
Important: Use of the encoder does not substitute the limit switches, which are mandatory.
9. ADJUSTING THE MOTOR POWER
The motor power can be adjusted in two ways, depending if an encoder is connected or not.
• Without an encoder: to adjust the motor power use trimmer TR1 (see Fig. 1) turning it anti-clockwise to reduce power and clockwise
to increase it. The motor power must be adjusted depending on the size of the gate, its weight and the friction it has during movement.
• With an encoder: the motor power is managed directly by the encoder. To adjust the sensitivity of the encoder use
dip-switches 7 and 8, as specified in paragraph 7.
