GLOSSARY
STAND BY
The gate is completely closed and the stop, the external photocells, the internal photocells and the
opening limit switch are not activated. The control board is ready to start a working cycle. In this state the
flashing lamp is off.
OPENING
The gate is opening and the flashing lamp blinks quickly (0.3 seconds ON and 0.2 seconds OFF).
PAUSE
When the opening is finished the motor is stopped and the flashing lamp is on.
After auto-close time has expired (
F0
) the gate starts closing.
CLOSING
The gate is closing and the flashing lamp blinks slowly (0.6 seconds ON and 0.4 seconds OFF).
STOP
OPENING
The gate has been stopped while it was opening. A new start command begins the closing phase.
In this state the flashing lamp is off.
STOP
CLOSING
The gate has been stopped while it was closing. A new start command begins the opening phase.
In this state the flashing lamp is off.
TYPE OF
INPUTS
The input can be an external input or a remote key.
The external inputs are all objects that can be wired to the terminal block of the control board. Each pin of
the terminal block is associated to a specific function. The safety functions match the normally closed
contacts. The other functions match the normally open contacts. The safety functions are: stop, internal
photocell, external photocell, closing limit switch and opening limit switch. While the others are: start (or fast
closure start) and pedestrian start. The pins of the terminal block can be enabled or disabled by programming
parameters
E1
,
E2
,
E3
,
E4
,
E5
,
E6
,
E7
. The remote key inputs are all functions linked to a remote
key. They are: start, stop, pedestrian start and fast closure start. The control board doesn't distinguish
between the type of inputs but only between the functions.
INPUT IS
ACTIVATED
An input is activated when its state changes from the standard state. For example a photocell is activated
when the beam from the transmitter to the receiver is broken, while a generic switch, push-button or remote
key is activated when it is pushed down. All these actions are recognized by the control board which shows
these changes on the display. When more inputs are activated at the same time the control board will show
only the most critical input. The order from the most critical to the least critical input is:
St
=
stop
tC
=
external
photocell
tA
=
internal
photocell
Go
=
start or fast
closure start
PE
=
pedestrian start
FC
=
closing limit
switch
FA
=
opening limit
switch
START
COMMANDS
The start commands are: start, pedestrian start and fast closure start. They are able to start a working cycle.
The function of start commands depend on
F5
and
F6
parameters programming.
To know more see
F5
and
F6
description.
To know how the fast closure start command works see
F7
description.
To know how the start command works see
Standard Working Cycle
.
To know how the pedestrian start command works see
Pedestrian Working Cycle
.
SAFETY
COMMANDS
The safety commands are: stop, internal photocell and external photocell. The stop commands always stop
the gate. Instead the function of the photocells depend on
F8
programming.

description.
STANDARD
WORKING
CYCLE
A start command has been received when the control board was in stand by state.
The motor works for a total time of
A1
plus
A2
seconds during the opening and the closing. When a
standard working cycle is in progress, the pedestrian start commands are considered as a start. The working
cycle is finished when the control board returns to stand by state. This functionality can be handled by
parameters programming.
PEDESTRIAN
WORKING
CYCLE
A pedestrian start command has been received when the control board was in stand by state.
The motor works for a total time of
F1
seconds during the opening and closing. The slowdown phase is
skipped during the opening and executed during the closing. The slowdown time is automatically managed by
the control board during a pedestrian working cycle. When a pedestrian working cycle is in progress, the start
commands are considered as a pedestrian start. The working cycle is finished when the control board returns
to stand by state.
