STEP5 Automatic programming of working times and slowing speed
Make sure that you have end stops for each wing set. Depending on the motor type, these may be built into the motor or for motors without
stops a gate wing stop will be needed. A closing floor stop, (CENTRE STOP) is highly recommended in any case because this ensures
that the gates are held tight when closed. The gates will not programme or run without any stops, it needs them to figure out its positions.
AUTOMATIC-PROGRAMMING
The following describes the automatic-programming stages for the two gates; in the event of single gate,
M1
(DIP1 SW1 = ON), only the
stages relating to motor
M1
are carried out.
1)
Position the gate/s at fully open and make sure the motors are locked into drive. You can check this by pulling or pushing the
gate slightly, if the motor was previously un-locked , the motor will click and the gate wing will lock.
2)
Arrange the trimmers to an initial setting point. With 24V motors, set the AMP and RALL trimmers to 11 O’clock. With 12V motors,
set the AMP and RALL trimmers to 12 O’clock. Set the VELOC trimmer to full.
3)
With the gates open,turn the power off to the panel. Then at least 15 seconds later, turn the panel back on again
(It is important
that you leave the power off to the panel at least 15 seconds or the fuse may fail when you turn back on.
4)
Press and hold on P3, (LEARN) DL6 will start to flash, about 15 seconds later DL6 will flash much faster and one click will emit
from the board. When this happens, release the P3 button and the following procedures will be carried out automatically.
5)
Search for closed gate position
The board automatically searches for the “closed gate” position; the doors are moved in the
closing direction until they hit the mechanical gate-closed stops (if the gate is already closed, the board will still carry on the
search, forcing itself against the mechanical gate-closed stops for a few seconds).
PLEASE NOTE THAT IF THE GATES DO NOT COMPLETE THE FULL CLOSE CYCLE AT THIS POINT, (IE, STOP HALFWAY AND OPEN AGAIN). START THE
PROGRAMMING AGAIN WITH THE AMP TRIMMER INCREASED TO A HIGHER SETTING. SOME TYPES OF MOTOR WILL NEED A HIGHER AMP SETTING INITIALLY TO
FULLY COMPLETE THE CYCLE.
6)
Search for open gate position.
The board automatically searches for the “open gate” position; the gate for motor 1 opens and
after 3 seconds (fixed or preset delay) the gate for motor 2 starts to open. In order to protect the mechanical parts, the gates start
to open slowly and then continue to open at the normal working speed. The gates reach the mechanical stops for the open gate
position at the normal moving speed (without slowing down). The motors stop automatically after recognizing the position of the
two gates. The stroke is calculated and the deceleration points are recorded.
7)
Gate closes
The gate automatically carries out the closing cycle. The gate starts to move slowly and then carries on to the
normal speed. A fixed delay of 3 seconds is inserted before the second gate starts to move.
Deceleration of the closing gate.
The gate finishes closing with the slowing down period (calculated during previous opening
phase), and stops correctly on the mechanical stops.
End of auto-calibration cycle.
The gate is completely closed and the board exits from automatic-programming function (LED
DL6 turns off)
The gates can now be operated via the remote controls and the same sequence just recorded should operate every time. Fine tuning of
the trimmers can now be adjusted to obtain the correct amount of overall speed, slowdown speed and
obstacle detection by adjusting the
trimmers.
If the VELOC or RALL trimmers are adjusted to control and correct speeds, it may be necessary to carry out the self or
manual programming again once the correct speeds are obtained.
In particular check that the gates detect obstacles with a minimum effort controlled by the
AMP
trimmer.
OBSERVE THE APPLICABLE PARTS OF STANDARDS EN 13241-1, EN 12453, EN 12445 TO FULLY COMPLY.
The
AMP
trimmer controls the current absorbed by the motor before the obstacle detection reverses or stops the motor.
The
RALL
trimmer controls the speed of the motor during the slowdown period.
The
VELOC
trimmer controls the speed of the motor during the normal run period.
If the
VELOC
trimmer is reduced to control the normal run speed, the
RALL
speed (slowdown period) will also reduce, so the
RALL
trimmer will need to be increased proportionally by the same amount to maintain the same slow period speed
Check the operation of the photocells! The gate should stop and reopen, when you break the photocell beam during
the closing cycle of the gate.
