Technical Data
E8 Control System
for DC Fire Protection Drive Units
The E8 control system is designed for DC
motors to open fire protection sliding doors.
The control system permits either deadman
or impulse operation.
Some of the parameters are adjusted with
help of the membrane keys and the dis-
play on the lid of the casing. This replaces
traditional potentiometres and permits to
carry out adjustments with the casing of
the control system being closed. This is a
highly valuable safety feature.
The control system provides a potentialfree
contact whose function can be adjusted:
contact when the door is open, closed, in
movement, in alarm or both final positions.
The terminal blocks of the control system
can be completely removed from the control
system in order to facilitate the electrical
connection.
The control system can be used both for
24VDC and 48 VDC drive units.
Mains voltage / Power consumption 230 VAC, 50/60 Hz +/- 10 % / max. 250 W
Power supply (secondary) max. 400 mA
Output voltage to the motor 24 or 48 VDC, 5 A
Potentialfree contact/capacity max. 30 VAC / 60 VDC, 10 A
Temperature range 0 - 40 °C, 20 - 70 % humidity
Dimensions of the plastic casing (ABS) H x W x D = 310 x 230 x 130 mm
Protection/ Contamination level IP 56 / 2
Overvoltage class/ Insulation II / class I

Connect all cables from the external devices (drive unit, operating ele-
ments, smoke detectors, photocell ...) to the removable binders.
Maximum length of the cables 30 m.
If no external devices are connected to the following binders, make sure
to place bridges (if you connect a motor with an integrated position
control system, no limit switches are required).
- Binders C2/19 and C2/20 (Limit switch „Door CLOSED“)
- Binders C3/25 and C3/26 (Emergency-Stop 1)
- Binders C3/31 and C3/32 (Stop 3, photocell)
- Binders C3/33 and C4/34 (Limit switch „Door OPEN“)
- Binders C4/35 and C4/36 (Limit switch „Crawling speed“)
- Binders C4/37 und C4/38 (relay contact for an alarm central)
- Binders C4/39 und C4/40 (relay contact for the smoke detector
loop
- IMPORTANT: The connection cable from the motor (DC) to the control
system (connection to the binders 3 and 4) must be a screened cable
(screened cable 2 x 1.5 mm2). The screen must be connected to the
earth of the control system.
- Connection of the speed control device and electromagnet of the door
drive: cable 4 x 0.5 mm2
- Connection of the position control system in the drive unit:
screened cable 3 x 0.5 mm2
Note: both the DICTAMAT 3700-21, 7000-21 and 8000-21 drive
units are delivered ex works with a 2.5 m connection cable from the
drive unit to the control system.
- For the connection to the 230 VAC mains the binders 58/59 and 60
(earth) are provided in the control system. We recommend to use a
flexible cable or a cable 3 x 1.5 mm2
- Connection of other external devices: cable 0.75 mm2

III. Adjustment / Programming
The control system has some parameters preadjusted ex works that can
be adjusted on site with the membrane keys on the lid of the casing.
If you press the central key (Enter) the display shows „P-X“, X being either
a number from 1 to 9 or one of the letters A, b, C or d. This displays
the parameter that presently can be adjusted.
IMPORTANT: The parameters are combined in 2 groups: the
parameters „P-1“ to „P-5“ as well as „P-C“ to„P-d“ are accessible
without restriction. The parameters „P-6“ to „P-b“ only can be adjusted
by persons instructed in the use of the control system. In order to get to
these parameters, you have to press the arrows and at the same
time when the parameter „P-0“ is displayed.
If none of the arrow-keys is pressed for more than 6 seconds, the display
automatically returns to the parameter „P-0“. This prevents unauthorized
persons from modifying any adjusted values.
III/1 Adjustment -
Display
Upon delivery the parameters „P-8“ (position „crawling speed“) and
„P-7“ (Position „OPEN) are adjusted to „000“. If a door drive with
integrated position control system is connected, the control system auto-
matically switches to an adjustment mode. This permits to move the
door with the push buttons OPEN and CLOSE to the required positions
and thus adjust them precisely.
The control system automatically chooses for this operation the deadman
operation. All opening movements are done in the crawling speed,
without any restriction as to the opening distance. As soon as the para-
meters for the change of the speed to the „Crawling Speed OPEN“ (P-8)
and the position „Door OPEN“ (P-7) have been entered, this adjustment
mode is switched off and the control system changes to the adjusted
operation type (deadman or impulse; adjustment with Dip-Switch 1, see
page 05.023.17).

III. Adjustment / Programming - cont.
„P-0“ Position of the door
The parameter P-0 shows the present position of the door when a drive
unit with integrated position control system is connected.
If separate limit switches are used, the values shown in the display have
the following signification:
000 Door is CLOSED (limit switch Door CLOSED has been actuated)
003 Door is OPEN (limit switch Door OPEN has been actuated)
The signification of the values 001/002 depends on the direction in
which the door is moving.
In OPENING direction:
001 Door moves at „normal“ speed (between the positions of the
limit switches creep speed CLOSE and OPEN)
002 Door moves at creep speed
In CLOSING direction:
001 Door moves at creep speed
002 Door moves at „normal“ speed (between the positions of the
limit switches creep speed CLOSE and OPEN)
„P-1“ Crawling speed
This parameter permits to adjust the crawling speed before the position
OPEN. The control system automatically switches to this speed as soon
as the position „Crawling Speed OPEN“ is reached (adjusted with the
parameter „P-8“ or indicated by a separate limit switch).
This parameter, just as all following parameters, is adjusted with the
arrow membrane keys and on the lid of the casing. The adjusted
value is memorized as soon as you change to another parameter or the
display changes back to „P-0“
The value for the crawling speed is adjusted ex works to 40 digits. It
can be increased to a maximum of 100 digits.
The crawling speed before the position Door CLOSED is set in the con-
trol system and cannot be adjusted. However it is possible to adjust the
distance before the position Door CLOSED where the motor changes to
the crawling speed (see parameter „P-9“).
„P-2“ Normal opening speed
With this parameter you can adjust the normal travel speed of the door
for opening. The control system switches automatically to this speed after
an initial acceleration.
The value for this speed is adjusted ex works at 150 digits. This value
can be reduced to min. 100 digits and increased to max. 200 digits
