24VDC accessories’ power supply
TERMINALS: 7-8 (see Paragraph 2.4).
Nominal voltage 24VDC, max. 250mA, output for powering external
accessories as photocells, radio receivers, etc.
Real voltage output can be greater then nominal value,
check the compatibility of external accessories.

Gate open pilot light
TERMINALS: 7-9 (see Paragraph 2.4).
When photo-test (deactivated by default - see Paragraph 14.1) is not
used, it is possible to connect a gate indication light 24Vdc max 3W
to the “GSI” input (terminal 9). This light will signal the gate’s position:
gate closed:
light off
gate open:
gate opening:
gate closing:
Maximum 3W/24VDC.

Limit switches
TERMINALS:
sliding = 10-11-12 (see Paragraph 2.4).
swing = 10-11-12-13-14 (see Paragraph 2.4).
The limit switch inputs are NC dry contacts (voltage free).
These terminals must be left free if no limit switches are used to de-

Wired commands
TERMINALS: 15-16-17-18 (see Paragraph 2.4).
Inputs for the start, stop and pedestrian wired commands can be
customised to open, stop and close (Paragraph 15.1).
They can be locked to prevent tampering with the system (Paragraph
15.2).
START CONTACT
The “START” input (terminals 15-16) is a normally open gate activa-
tion command by wire.
The activation method is set up by dip switches 3 and 4 - see Par-
agraph 3.1 .
This input is a voltage free (dry contact) only. Connecting power to
this input will void warranty.
TIMER FUNCTION: if START contact is kept closed (for in-
stance through a timer-controlled or bistable relay), control
unit opens the gate and leaves the gate opened. The auto-
mation does not accept closing commands (neither automatic
nor wired) until START contact is reopened.
In this mode, dip switch 3 STEP is set to OFF and dip 4 AUTO
to ON to ensure that the gate never remains locked open.
If multiple START contacts are connected, connect the
contacts in parallel.
If START contact is kept closed during the control unit
starting after a blackout, the gate will immediately execute the
start command.
PEDESTRIAN CONTACT
(terminals 16-18)
The pedestrian “PED” input is a partial opening
gate command (for pedestrian access) by wire.
With double swing gate only
MOTOR1
is opened by it.
To customise the opening width, the pedestrian programming se-
quence must be carried out (see Paragraph 5.2).
This input is a normally open and voltage free (dry contact) only.
Connecting power to this input will void warranty.
STOP CONTACT
The “
STOP
” input (terminals 16-17) is for immediately stopping and
locking any movement of the gate.
This input is a normally closed and voltage free (dry contact) only.
Connecting power to this input will void warranty.
To restore operation this contact must be closed.

Antenna
TERMINALS: 19-20 (see Paragraph 2.4)
Antenna terminal for transmitter signal reception. The preconnected
wire acts as antenna.
For extending the reception range, an external antenna can be con-
If an external antenna is connected, the preconnected wire
must be disconnected.

Back-up battery /
Energy saving
StarG8 control unit can be equipped with Back up battery or solar
power system (optional).
To connect the back up battery and charger (BATK3) or
the solar kit (GO GREEN), see their dedicated manuals.
The back up battery is charged all times by the mains power and it
automatically powering the gate in case of power breakdown.
Note: it is recommended to use the energy saving modality when back
up battery (or the GO GREEN solar kit) is used.
See Paragraph 16.3 for activate this modality and for photocell’s en-
ergy saving connection.
(This function shuts off power to the photocells when the control unit
is in standby, thus reducing consumption and increasing battery life).
If energy saving modality is activated, the control panel’s
LEDs will only remain lit for two minutes after the last opera-
tion in order to reduce energy consumption.
