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

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

III. Adjustment / Programming - cont.
„P-3“ Function of the Stop-switches 2 and 3 in alarm
This parameter offers the possibility to cancel the STOP-command during
an alarm closing.
Value 000: STOP 2 and STOP 3 also active during an alarm closing
Value 001: STOP 2 and STOP 3 without function during an alarm
closing - priority of the closing command
„P-4“ Blocking the door in the closed position
This parameter offers the possibility to block a door in the closed position
with an electromagnet incorporated in the door drive (special design!)
Value 000: Blocking on
Value 001: Blocking off
Ex works the parameter „P-4“ is adjusted to 001, that means no blocking
in the closed position.
Note: The blocking force in case of a drive unit with power transmis-
sion by rope is about 50 kg and in case of a toothed belt about 80 kg.
„P-5“ Automatic closing
The parameter 5 permits to activate or switch off the automatic closing
and to adjust the time after which the door closes automatically.
Value 000: Automatic closing Off
Value 001 - 180: Automatic closing On; value indicates the time in
seconds after which the door closes
Ex works the parameter 5 is set to 000, that means the automatic closing
is Off.
„P-C“ Closing by motor
This parameter must always be set to 000.
Value 000: Closing by counter weight or closing spring - only valid
for fire protection doors!!!
Value 001: Closing with motor, 24/48 VDC motors
Value 002: Closing with motor, three-phase motors VAC
„P-d“ „Release function for electric door locks“
This parameter must always be adjusted to 000. Its function, to control
a door lock, cannot be used with the E8 control system (special feature
of the E82 control system).

Parameters P-6 to P-9:
Adjustments only required when using door operators with
integrated position control and „P-b“ is adjusted to the value
000.
IMPORTANT: If errors have occurred during the adjustment of the final
positions the control system can be returned to the default settings by a
RESET of the control system adjustment. Disconnect the control
system shortly, move the door to its closed position, switch on the current
again. Then adjust the parameters P-6, P-7 and P-8 to „000“ and start
anew with the adjustments as described below.
The display has to show rising (positive) numbers when the door opens.
In case negative numbers appear, check the connection of the position
control system.
„P-6“ Adjustment of the position control system: position
„Door CLOSED“
Before starting the adjustment of the positions, please make sure that
tha parameter P-b is adjusted to the value „000“.
The first position to be entered when using a drive unit with integrated
position control system is the closed position.
Close the door completely and adjust the value with the arrow keys
and to „0“ .
„P-7“ Adjustment of the position control system: position
„Door OPEN“
Move the door with the OPEN-switch to the position Door OPEN. Note
the value shown in P-0 and enter then this value in P-7, using the arrow
membrane keys and .
The value of the position Door OPEN must always be higher than the
value adjusted in P-8 for the position „Crawling speed OPEN“.
„P-8“ Adjustment of the position control system: position
„Crawling speed OPEN“
When reaching this position the control system automatically reduces
the speed to the crawling speed (adjusted with parameter P-1).
The value of this position should be about 50 digits less than that of the
position Door OPEN.

III. Adjustment / Programming - cont.
„P-9“ Adjustment of the position control system: position
„Crawling speed CLOSE“
When reaching this position the control system automatically reduces
the speed to a slower speed (set in the control system, not adjustable).
The indicated value shows at what distance (in cm) before the position
Door CLOSED the speed is reduced.
If the closing speed should not be reduced before the position Door
CLOSED the value has to be set to „000“.
„P-A“ Function of STOP 3 (safety element)
The parameter „P-A“ determines the function of the STOP 3. The STOP
3 is especially provided for the connection of safety equipment.
Value 000: STOP 3 interrupts the closing. When the obstacle has
disappeared the door will - after about 4 sec. -
automatically continue to close.
Value 001: STOP 3 interrupts the closing. The door stops and then
automatically opens again completely. If the automatic
closing is ON the door will start closing after the preset
time (see parameter „P-5“).
IMPORTANT: this funcion (001) is only possible when
the operating mode is adjusted to impulse operation
(see point VI Configuration of the DIP-Switches).
„P-b“ Adjustment of the position control required: drive
unit with integrated position control system or
separate limit switches
The parameter „P-b“ is provided for the distinction between a drive
unit with integrated position control system or the use of separate limit
switches.
Value 000: Drive unit with integrated position control system
(ATTENTION: adjust the parameters P-6 to P-9)
Value 001: Connection of separate limit switches
NOTE:
The display of the control system E8 normally always shows the parameter
P-0, i.e. the present position of the door.

the current supply of the gate operator
is interrupted or the movement of the
gate is obstructed.
Press RESET button (after the current
supply has been restored). Now the
control system is ready to work again.

Technical Manual E8
All functions of the control system E82 have to be checked once a
year.
Certain tensions within the control system might lead to an electrical
discharge, that might destroy the control system. Therefore increased
attention is required, if work has to be done near the control system or
the current carrying cables coming from the control system.
No work on the control system and the whole installation is allowed
while the current is still on. The power supply always has to be switched
off beforehand.
Therefore make sure a lockable switch is installed in the supply line to
the control system, that will cut off the power supply completely.
The casing of the control system always has to be kept closed and
clean. For the cleaning of the casing just use water and soap. Never
use aggressive detergents.
