Functioning
The FirePro covers a cabinet with a control circuit board in combination with a power
supply/charger.
This controller can operate as “hold to run” as well as automatically when in normal mode.
-
Operation in normal mode is possible using the buttons on the cabinet and/or the external
up, stop and down controls. An input is also available for sensor-based operation (e.g. pull
switch).
-
The lid features 4 LEDs for showing the status of the controller (see table 7).
-
An input is available for the safety contact (NC) and safety brake; this input is a stop function.
There is also an input for cable breakage protection and/or a pass door contact; this is an NC
contact in series with a 5.1kΩ +/-10% resistor. The controller can be attached to batteries so
that the control will continue to operate effectively in case of power failure, until the
batteries are almost empty.
WARNING
Upon delivery, the + side of the batteries will be disconnected in order to prevent drainage!
Make sure that the batteries never become completely empty; this can be caused if the controller
is not connected to mains power for a long period of time. The batteries cannot be re-used if they
become completely empty. In this case, replace the batteries. Disconnect the battery connection if
the door is in a safe position.
WARNING
If the drive unit has mechanical limit switches, an interim stop is only possible if the “over-close”
function is not being used.
-
In case of fire alarm, the ‘close in case of power loss’ option or empty batteries, the door will
lower because power to the electric brake will be cut. If power is still present, the door will
lower until the ‘close’ end switch or the “over close” end switch has been reached.
PLEASE NOTE: in case of digital end switches (DES), there must be effective communication between
the end switch and the controller!
WARNING
The doors will close automatically if the fire contact is activated, in case of power failure or if the
batteries are almost empty (and the “close” option has been selected in this case). PLEASE NOTE:
this movement can be performed without the safety feature!
-
The menu can be used to configure whether the door, if closing for safety reasons, will lower
until the normal end switch or until the “over-close” end switch has been reached. The
“over-close” end switch makes it possible to close the door further than it would close during
normal operation. It is also possible to make an interim stop, for a configured time, when
closing in case of a fire, in case of power failure or in case of low battery voltage.
