2.) Wire connections
2 a) Plan for wire connections
Removeble terminal blocks (SL1 –SL8) for easy external wire connection have been
placed on the board. This system enables easy replacement of the controller board if
necessary.
DANGER !
Prior to connecting, all terminal blocks must be voltage free!
Danger! Terminals 1 to 8 are connected to 230 volts!
Do not apply any main voltage to the terminals 9 to 36!
The improper use/operation could damage the control board and the guarantee claim
would become invalid.
2 b) Connection plan

2 c) Terminal blocks [Detailed connections]
Connector block 1 (SL1) –High voltage terminal
Terminal 1 & 2: Connection of the 230V/ 50Hz power supply (1-L / 2-N)
connected in the factory.
Terminal 3 & 4: Connection of the 230V / 50Hz primary side of the transformer
(3-N / 4-L) connected in the factory.

supply of the control board through terminal 9 & 10 with AC
voltage / transformator)
Output current 24V- DC voltage
(By battery mode [DC-USV-power supply] of the control board

Connector block 7 (SL7) –Safety input Stop & light barrier
(for potential-free opening contacts, see 2e & 2f)
Terminal 27 & 28: Stop input –Wicket door safety input
Terminal 29 & 30: Connection of the safety light barrier (for the opening contact of
the light barrier)
Connector block 8 (SL8) –Safety inputs for 8,2kΩ safety contact edges or OES-
edges (see 2g & 2h)
By usage of 8,2kΩ safety contact edges:

Terminal 35 & 36: not used
2 d) Connection of the aerial / radio board
A wire aerial is connected to the lower terminal of the SK1 (Terminal 2).
The length of the wire aerial depends on the frequency and should hang to the side of
the control board.
As an alternative to wire aerial, the cable core of a rod aerial can be connected to
terminal 2. We recommend mounting the aerial rod as high as possible in order to
avoid frequency disruptions caused by the gate.
The receiving frequency depends on the 15-pin radio plate. The recievieng frequency
of 868, 3 MHz is currently included as standard equipment. Optionnaly, it is possible
to order other frequencies such as 433, 92 MHz, 40,685 MHz and 27,015 MHz.

2 e) Light barrier
Power supply:
The supply voltage can be tapped from the control board.
Terminal 1+2 =230 AC (mains voltage)
Terminal 11+12 =24V AC (Alternative current – in use of power supply with
transformer)
Terminal 13+14 =24V DC (Direct current)
The potential-free opening contact (closed when inactive) of a light barrier can be
connected to the terminals 29 & 30. Furthermore, it is possible to connect several
safety contact edges. Their potential-free opening contacts must be connected in
series.
Is the operating mode AUTOMATIC CLOSING activated, the gate will close
optionally after the deactivation of the input “closing after leaving the light barrier
with set delay”or “after expiration of the hold-open time”.
External safety devices must be approved for personal safety since their function is
not tested by the control board! The reliability of their performance must be tested at
least every 6 months.
2 f) Stop input / Wicket door
The potential-free opening contact (closed when inactive) of a wicket door and/or of
an emergency stop control can be connected to the terminals 27 & 28.
Furthermore, it is possible to connect several safety devices. Their potential-free
opening contacts must be connected in series.
This safety input is activated in both directions of the gate. When this input is
activated the drive of the gate will not operate or a moving gate will come to an
emergeny stop. CAUTION: In this case no reversing will be operated and disable is
activated.
2 g) 8,2kΩ-safety contact edges
It is possible to connect safety contact edges with an 8,2kΩ terminating resistor
between the terminals 32 & 35 and between 33 & 36.
SE1 (closing) (Safety input 1 –terminals 32 & 35)
SE2 (closing) (Safety input 2 –terminals 33 & 36)
External safety devices must be approved for personal safety since their function is
not tested by the control board! The reliability of their performance must be tested at
least every 6 months.

8
2 h) Optoelectronical safety contact edges (OES)
It is possible to connect optoelectrical safety contact edges between the terminals 31
and 34.
The power supply of the OES DC 12V has to be connected to the terminal 34=mass
and to 31=+12V max. 150mA.
The OSE1 has to be connected to the terminal 32 and the OSE2 to the terminal 33.

least every 6 months.
2 i) Battery operation
It is possible to supply the control board with a 24V battery.
The power supply of the battery has to be connected to the terminals 9 & 10
(The polarity does not have to be taken into account).
ATTENTION: If a battery is connected to the terminals 9 & 10, the transformer
should not be connected!
ATTENTION: The dimensions and the weight of the gate are limited if the gate
drive is battery operated!
max. dimensions of the gate: 6m
max. weight of the gate: 350kg
