4 - CONTROL UNIT
PD13
is provided with a display that, not only makes
programming simple, but also allows a continuous monitoring of
the input statuses; in addition, thanks to a menu structure, the
working schedule and the operation logic can be set easily.
In compliance with the European standards concerning
electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility
(EN 60335-1, EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1) it has been
equipped with the low voltage circuit total electric insulation
(motors included) from the network voltage.
Other characteristics:
• Power supply protected from short circuits within the
controller, on the motors and on the connected accessories.
• Adjustment of the power by partializing the current.
• Detecting obstacles by monitoring the current on the motors
(current sensing probe and encoder)
• Automatic learning of the limit switch position
• Tests for safety devices (photocells, safety ribbons and
mosfet) before each opening.
• Deactivation of safety inputs through the configuration
menu: no jumper is required for terminals concerning safety
devices that have not been installed, yet. You will only need
to disable this function from its relevant menu.
• The device can operate without mains power, by using the
optional battery pack (code 161212).
• Low voltage output that can be used for a signal light or a
24 V flashing light.
• Auxiliary relay with programmable logic for courtesy light,
flashing light or other use.
• ENERGY SAVING FUNCTION
• Synchronized operation of two motors using the SYNCRO
optional module (compatible with the control units PD13 from
version 1.1 onward)

Installation of control unit and safety devices must
be carried out with power disconnected.
4.1 - CONNECTING THE MOTOR, LIMIT
SWITCH SENSOR AND ENCODER
The motor, limit switch sensor card and encoder are already
connected to the PD13 control unit by means of polarised
connectors.

CAUTION: Never reverse the connectors
4.2 - ACTIVATION INPUTS
PD13 control unit is equipped with two activation inputs
(START and START P.), whose operation depends on the
programmed operation modes (see
Strt
item of programming
menu):
•
Standard mode
START = START (a command will cause the complete
opening of the gate)
START P. = PEDESTRIAN START (a command will cause the
partial opening of the gate)
•
Open/Close command
START = OPENING (always controls the gate opening)
START P. = CLOSING (always controls the gate closing)
This is an impulse command, that is to say that an impulse
will cause the complete gate opening or closing.
•
Manned operation
START = OPENING (always controls the gate opening)
START P. = CLOSING (always controls the gate closing)
This is a monostable command, that is to say, the gate will
be opened or closed as long as the contact is closed and it
will immediately stop as the contact is open
•
Timer mode
This function allows programming the gate opening time
during the day, by making use of an external timer.
START = START (a command will cause the complete
opening of the gate)
START P. = PEDESTRIAN START (a command will cause the
partial opening of the gate)
The gate stays open (completely or partially) while the contact
is closed on input; as soon as the contact is open the pause
time count down will start, after which the gate will be
closed again.
ATTENTION: Automatic closing must be enabled
In all modes, inputs must be connected to devices having
normally open contacts.
Connect cables of device controlling the first input between
terminals
J1 (START)
and
J4 (COM)
of the control unit.
Connect cables of device controlling the second input between
terminals
J2 (START P.)
and
J4 (COM)
of the control unit.
The START input function can also be activated by pressing
h
key
(outside the programming menu) or by means of a remote
control stored on channel 1 of MRx receiver.
The START P. input function can also be activated by pressing
i
key (outside the programming menu) or by means of a remote
control stored on channel 2 of MRx receiver.
