14) Further details: special functions
14.1) “Always open” function
The “always open” function is a feature of the control unit that enables continuous activation of an opening manoeuvre when the “Step-by-
step” command lasts more than 2 seconds; this can be useful for example to connect the SS terminal with the contact of a programme clock
to keep the gate open during a specific time band. This feature is valid regardless of the setting of the input SS with exception of the setting
as “Apartment block 2”, see parameter “Function SS” in Table 4.
15) Automation operation by means of transmitter and “SM” radio receiver
The Control unit is fitted with a connector specially for the installation
of a radio receiver with “SM” type connection (Fig. 13), to control the
automation using a radio transmitter (receiver and transmitter are
optional accessories). The four Outputs of the Receiver enable deliv-
ery of the following commands to the control unit:
If the aerial incorporated in LUCYB or other type of external aerial is
not used, screw the rigid cable supplied with the receiver onto the
aerial terminal (Fig. 14).
14.2) “Move anyway” function
In the event that a safety device malfunctions or is out of service, the gate may still be moved in “hold-to-run” mode. For details, refer to the
paragraph “Control with safety devices out of service” in the enclosure “Instructions and warnings for the SOON gearmotor user”.

16) Automatic fault finding and diagnostics
During normal operation, the control unit constantly monitors the automation processes and is designed to indicate any faults that arise, by
means of a pre-set sequence of flashes emitted by the flashing light, courtesy light and the “BlueBUS Led” (the diagnostics flashes always
refer to the last action performed by Soon) For an explanation of the number of flashes and associated cause, refer to the table below:
