Warning
• The installation, test and commissioning of door and gate automa-
tions must be performed by qualified and experienced personnel who
must establish which tests to conduct based on the risks involved,
and verify the compliance with the applicable regulations, legislation
and standards.
• MHOUSE disclaims liability for any damage resulting from uses of the
product other than those described in this manual.
• The packing materials must be disposed of in compliance with local
regulations.
• EL1 interface must never be immersed in water or other liquids. In the
event that liquid substances have penetrated inside the device,
immediately disconnect the power supply and contact the MHOUSE
customer service department; the use of EL1 in these conditions can
be dangerous.
• Keep EL1 interface away from heat sources and open flames; these
could damage the components and cause malfunctions, fire or dan-
gerous situations.
Product description and applications
Electronic locks fitted on swing gate automatisms can be activated by
means of the EL1 device.
Warning.
The EL1 device is only compatible with:
1. Initial release type electronic locks (single command impulse at the
beginning of the opening manoeuvre), with a maximum power sup-
ply of 12 Vac 15 VA
2. Mhouse control units having the “EL1” indication on the FLASH out-
put.
Installation
Warning:
all installation operations are performed with the system dis-
connected from the power supply; disconnect the PR1 buffer battery if
present.
1. Because the EL1 device is not protected against the rain or the infil-
tration of other liquids, it must be fitted inside the CL2 control unit or
in a protected location.
2. Following the manufacturers instructions, install the electronic lock
on the leaf that is operated by motor No. 2.
3. Following the indications in table 1, connect the EL1 interface as
shown in Fig. 1. The polarity does not need to be respected when
making the connections.

Warning
: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation;
for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor appli-
cations, while H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.
4. Replace the Mhouse CL2 control unit fuse
[A]
(2A type T) in Fig. 2
with the one supplied with the EL1 interface (3.15 A type F).
5. Stick the “3.15A F” label, which is supplied with the interface, on top
of the 2A type T label of the CL2 control unit.
Recognition
After the EL1 device has been installed it must be recognised by the
control unit; the operation takes place by performing the recognition of
the leaf opening and closing angles in the following manner:
1. Release the motors with the appropriate key, place the leafs in a half
open position so that they are free to open and close, then block the
motors.
2. To start the recognition of the opening and closing angles, push and
hold the P3 button
[B]
on the control unit as in Fig. 3.
3. Release the button after the leafs have closed and have started their
opening phase.
4. Wait until the angles recognition manoeuvre (leafs closing, opening
and closing) has finished correctly (Led
[A]
in Fig. 3 off)
The EL1 interface has now been recognised.
Operating checks and test
With the gate closed, perform an opening manoeuvre with the selector
or radio transmitter, and check that the electronic lock activates for
approximately 2 seconds at the beginning of the manoeuvre, thereby
allowing the normal opening of the leaf; the indicator light remains on
during the 2 second interval.
Maintenance and Disposal
EL1 interface needs no particular maintenance.
Warning:
some electronic components may contain polluting sub-
stances; do not pollute the environment. Enquire about the recycling or
disposal systems of EL1 available in compliance with regulations locally
in force.
