• Connecting a safety edge
The safety edge resistor must be installed in the safety edge so that an open-circuit in the resistor or the cable is interpreted as
actuation of the device. See the wiring diagram below. SE.C1 and SE.01 must be used for a safety edge connected to the half
to which motor 1 is connected, and SE.C2 and SE.O2 to the half to which motor 2 is connected.
The resistor can be between 1.0-8.2 kΩ with a 1% tolerance and a power capability of at least ½ W. FAAC Nordic AB
recommends an impedance of 8.2 kΩ. A safety edge can only be connected in series.
When connecting in series, only one resistor is used in the outermost safety edge, as shown in the wiring diagram below. The
maximum number of safety edges connected in series with an impedance of 8.2 kΩ is six per input.
Note that the impedance used for a safety edge must be checked and entered into the EP104 during commissioning, see
Commissioning below.
!
Other types of impedance safety edge must not be connected directly to the safety edge inputs – they require an external
control unit.
See the instruction manual for these safety edges.
Use only safety edges approved by FAAC Nordic AB.
• Connecting safety edges and photocells
The diagram below illustrates how to connect an external safety edge unit.

• Connecting an encoder (electronic limit switch)
EP104 supports DB405 type encoders. The encoder uses the same terminals as a conventional mechanical limit switch. The
two diagrams below illustrate how to connect the encoder, and they also show which is the left and right motor from the point
of view of the automatic control unit. Make sure the cable to the encoder does not share the same buried pipe as the motor
power supply.

Configuring the EP104
This section provides general instructions on how to change settings in the EP104.
Remember to discharge any static charge in your body by always touching an earthed connection before starting installation.
• General
All values are stored according to a list of channels (in the channel reference), with each channel corresponding to a particular
control parameter or value in the EP104.
The display can show a value up to four digits long, or a channel number with the prex C, d, F, L, o, P or r, followed by three
digits.
The display can be used to show values as well as change settings – the value ashes while the setting is being changed.
If E appears followed by a number, this is an error message – see "Error messages". Note that the startup values
"EP-1" and "EP-2" are not error messages. When the power is connected, EP-1 appears when the unit controls one motor,
and EP-2 when the unit controls two motors.
The <┘ button switches between the value and the channel number and, in conguration mode, it saves the value.
The + button scrolls up the channel list in channel mode. In conguration mode, the button increases the value.
The - button scrolls down the channel list in channel mode. In conguration mode, the button reduces the value.
If no button is pressed in 90 seconds, the display switches to economy mode with reduced brightness. Press any button to
return to normal mode.

Press the button to quickly change between letters (channel groups).
Press the + or - button to step to the channel number you want.
Press the <┘to show the value on the display.
Press the <┘button again to exit and return to the channel number. Leave the unit in this mode – you cannot exit any further.
• Setting parameters in the EP104
Select the channel number according to the readout above.
Press the + button. The value starts ashing and is ready to be changed.
Press the + or - button to step to the value you want.
Press the <┘button to save the value.
Press the <┘button again to exit and return to the channel number. Leave the unit in this mode – you cannot exit any further.
• Locked settings
Settings in the different channels can be locked by service personnel so that they cannot be changed. Contact an authorised
service engineer, who will have the instructions needed to release the unit for conguration.

• Channel view options C999
By entering different values in the view options channel, EP104 will switch between different sets of channels. After power
on, C999 is shown as the rst channel.
If C999=0 all channels are viewed.
If C999=1 only channels that differ from factory settings are viewed.
If C999=2 channels for supply voltage, motor protection and limit positions are shown. This view mode is used to set the
open and closed position.
If C999=3 only channels for safety edges, load guard, motor protection, gear ratio and limit switches are shown. This view
mode is used to set the load guard.

• Signal reference
• Low current
!
The safety circuit, safety edge or limit switch must not be connected to, or used for, any other function. If signals from
the EP104 are needed, a separate output card must be used.
The connection instructions are the same for all types of application, but not all signals may be needed.
If stop signals are unused, the associated input signals must be jumpered on the terminal block, see "Signal reference".
!
Note that the 24 V for the stop circuit must not be combined with other 24 V circuits.

Quick guide for commissioning of swing gates
• Prerequisites
The electrical installation is complete and drive units should be disengaged from the drive arm. Operate only one drive unit at
a time and start with drive unit 1. The type of motor power in C202 is set to 0, 3x400V with neutral. Limit switches must be
of encoder type. View mode, C999 is set to 2. The indications for photocell, stop circuit and 24V lights green
• Comissioning of drive unit 1
Direction of movement: Set L001 to 4, hold-to-run without limit switches. Check that the drive arm mounting is moving in
the right direction while pressing OPEN or CLOSE button on the control board. If the direction of movement is wrong, see
section "Connections" in the "Instruction Manual EP104".
Open and closed position: Engage gate leaf of drive unit 1 and set the positions for open and closed. After this is done
L001 should be set to 1, Encoder.

Load guard: Set C999 to 3. A swing gate application usually does not require personal protection, if so C230 is set to
0.00. Set C033 to 3, impulse, to activate the load guard. Make sure that the settings of the C232 and C233 is low enough to
prevent material damage, but at the same time that it is guaranteed to open due to weather, wind and mechanical changes.

Safety edges: Check the safety edges on gate leaf 1 by pressing the safety edges during movement. Please note that the
safety function in opening direction is switched off in C131. If the safety edges are activated during closing movement the
gate should reverse to fully opened position, while in opening movement it should reverse to closed position during the time
in C494. A ashing indication at SE.C1 or SE.O1 means that the safety edge was activated but no longer is.
