Obstacle detection syste (anti crushing)
The 909 control board is equipped with obstacle detection and the sensitivity can be adjusted by using the trimmer marked
SENS . This trimmer controls the level set that the gate will stop and reverse away if an obstacle is met during the normal run
time. Turning the trimmer further to the – makes it more sensitive to obstacles. Turning the trimmer further to the + makes it
less sensitive to obstacles. Turning the SENS trimmer completely to the + will disable this feature and the system will then rely
solely on the POWER trimmer. The second level of safety is the power sent to the motors set by the trimmer marked POWER
Turning this trimmer further to the – sends less power to the motors and turning the trimmer further to the + sends more power
to the motors. During the slowing down period the system only uses the POWER setting trimmer.
tŚĞŶƚŚĞƐLJƐƚĞŵŝƐŝŶŽƉĞƌĂƚŝŽŶĂŶĚthe gate meets an obstacle during the opening cycle it will reverse the stroke for about
10 centimetres and it will then auto re-close after 30 seconds. If the obstacle remains the system will try again 3 times and
then finally remain open. If the automatic closing is set it will follow the set time before closing again. If the gate is at the
deceleration stage (usually around 500mm before fully open or close) it will stop and not move again until given another command. If the
gate meets an obstacle while closing it will reverse completely and it will auto re-close after 30 seconds. If the automatic
closing is set it will follow the set time. If it is at the deceleration stage it will stop and not move again until given another
command.
Full obstacle detection control throughout the full cycle of opening and closing (including the slowdown stage) can be achieved
by using a safety edge (Rib edge) through the ‘F. AP with, SW2-2 OFF = NC safety edge ON = 8K2 safety edge. Input on
terminal 9. The wired safety edge system can be used with normally closed circuits and resistor 8k2 ohm circuits. Safety edges
are used on gates in all areas where a specific risk of trapping may occur especially where there is less than a 50cm gap
behind a gate when fully open. Resistor 8k2 ohm circuits are used where CAT3 safety edges are needed. The 8k2 ohm circuit
when installed correctly will always fail to safe if damaged shorted or open circuited.

Photocells are usually installed at 50cm high just beyond the swing of the gate, one pair just in front of the
gates when closed and the other just beyond the end of the leaf when open. This will stop the gates closing if
there is something in the way. Two sets are highly recommended especially when using automatic closing.
They are crossed as laid out here so that the beam from one set does not interfere with the other.

Photocells
The photocells are in pairs, one transmitter and one receiver. They should be mounted 500-600 mm from the
ground and face each other level. Each photocell regardless of type has a 2 VAC supply.
The receiving photocell does the switching on and off to the control panel. If the transmitting beam can reach the
receiving photocell, there will be a completed circuit to the main panel and the gate/s will function. If the beam is
broken, during operation of closing, the gates will stop and reopen.
If you are using two pairs of photocells as pictured, the receivers should be crossed on opposite sides so that you
do not have two receivers at the same side.
For this purpose core BT type cable is recommended for use. (CW1128) Follow the wiring diagram provided to
wire both the receiver and transmitting photocells. At the control box end, wire the colour coded cables up as per
the diagram provided showing a typical photocell placement.
When the photocells are working and correctly aligned, you should hear a clicking sound from the transmitter when
the beam is broken intermittently. Once wired, place the covers over the photocells and secure the fixing screw.

Programming the 909 circuit board
Before you start to programme!
Check that the gate wing stops are in place and set! If you are using motors with inbuilt electric limit switches, move these so
they are not operational for the purpose of the test (NC). They can be re-introduced after the set up is completed
Check that you have wired the photocells correctly and bridged (linked) the normally closed (N.C) circuits that are not being
used. If you have done this correctly, you should have these LEDs illuminated with the power to the circuit board on.
The first two LEDs from the left should only appear when a open command or a pedestrian command is given. If the fourth
from the left LED is missing check your photocell wiring circuit and alignment of the beams. If any other LEDs marked ON are
not illuminated, check the circuits or the links outlined on the typical wiring diagram page.
STEP1 Programming the remotes
*Note* Carry out programming the remotes only with the aerial disconnected from the PCB. his avoids picking up stray frequency codes from
other equipment. Reconnect only when you have finished programming the remote control equipment.
STEP4 Verify motor direction
You need to verify that the motors are going in the right direction in relation to the panel. Arrange gate’s so that they are both approximately
half way. Turn the power off to the panel. (It is important that you leave the power off to the panel at least 1 seconds or the fuse may fail
when you turn back on the power) Turn the power back on again. Press once the key fob that you previously learned in at step 2 and 3.
Observe the direction that both gates move in at the start and then immediately turn the power off again. The gate that travels in an open
direction is correct. The gate that travels in a closing direction is incorrect. Identify this motor at the PCB as M1 or M2 and these motor wires
need swapping with each other. Remember, the gate that you want to open first should be connected to M1 or with a single gate use M1.
STEP1 with KW113 remote,
open the cover and randomly arrange the
dip-switches first.
STEP3.
While the DL6 is flashing,
press and hold the button
on your remote you want
to open the gate fully for 3
seconds.
STEP2
Enter radio code programming (for the
START control). Press and release
the SET. button once, the LED DL3

STEP5 Self programming of working times and slowing speed
Make sure that you have end stops for each wing set. Depending on the motor type, these may be built into the motor or for motors without
stops a gate wing stop will be needed. A closing floor stop, (CENTRE STOP) is highly recommended in any case because this ensures that
the gates are held tight when closed. The gates will not programme or run without any stops, it needs them to figure out its positions. If the
motor has built in electrical limit switches they must be moved out of the way and any lock strikes also removed while the set up procedure is
being carried out.
Initial dip-switch setting for the motor slowdown. Below 3 0W set the dip SW1-2 ON. If you are unsure set, SW1-2 ON.
SELF-PROGRAMMING
The following describes the self-programming stages for the two gates; in the event of single gate,M1 (DIP1 SW1 = ON), only the stages
relating to motor M1 are carried out.
1) Position the gate/s at fully closed and make sure the motors are locked into drive. You can check this by pulling or pushing the gate
slightly, if the motor was previously un-locked , the motor will click and the gate wing will lock into drive.
2) Arrange the trimmers to an initial setting point. Set the BREAK trimmer to - , fully anti clockwise. Set SENS trimmer to 1 O’clock.
Set the power trimmer to 1 O’clock.
3) With the gates closed, turn the power off to the panel. Then at least 1 seconds later, turn the panel back on agian (It is important
that you leave the po er off to the panel at least 15 seconds or the fuse may fail hen you turn back on.
4) Press and hold on SET DL3 will start to flash, about 1 seconds later DL3 will flash much faster and one click will emit from the
board. When this happens release the SET button and the following procedures will be carried out automatically.
5) Search for closed open position Both leaves will open for about 4 seconds , then close again. Then board automatically searches
for the “closed gate” position; the doors are moved in the closing direction until they hit the mechanical gate-closed stops forcing
itself against the mechanical gate-closed stops for a few seconds).
6) Search for open gate position. The board automatically searches for the “open gate” position; the gate for motor 1 opens and
after 3 seconds (fixed or preset delay) the gate for motor 2 starts to open. In order to protect the mechanical parts, the gates start to
open slowly and then continue to open at the normal working speed. The gates reach the mechanical stops for the open gate
position at the normal moving speed (without slowing down). The motors stop automatically after recognizing the position of the two
gates, the stroke is calculated and the deceleration points are recorded.
7) Gate closes The gate automatically carries out the closing cycle. The gate starts to move slowly and then carries on to the normal
speed. A fixed delay of 3 seconds is inserted before the second gate starts to move.
Deceleration of the closing gate. The gate finishes closing with the slowing down period (calculated during previous opening
phase), and stops correctly on the mechanical stops.
End of self-calibration cycle. The gate is completely closed and the board exits from self-programming function (LED DL3 turns
off) . If the gate does not slowdown correctly or seems very weak during the slowing period, carry out the programming again with
the SW1-2 in the ON position (FASTER SLOWDOWN) option enabled.
The gates can now be operated via the remote controls and the same sequence just recorded should operate every time. Fine tuning of the
trimmers can now be adjusted to obtain the correct amount of POWER and obstacle SENSITIVITY to the gate wing/s by adjusting the
trimmers. When the gate/s are opening or closing and are obstructed, the gate/s should stop and reverse with minimal effort. It is very
important that these adjustments are carried out.

FOR THE MOTORISATION OF HINGED GATES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH MACHINERY DIRECTIVE 98/37/EEC AND THE APPLICABLE PARTS OF
STANDARDS EN 13241-1, EN 12453, EN 12445
With this publication UNAC sets out to inform and assist installers in applying the specifications of the directives
and of European standards concerning the safe use of motorised gates/doors.
It should be noted that those who sell and motorise an existing manual door/gate become the manufacturer of the
motorised door/gate machine and must prepare and keep the technical file, as laid down by Annex V of the
Machinery Directive (98/37/EEC). The technical file must contain the following documents:
! Assembly drawing of the motorised door/gate (usually included in the installation manual).
! Electrical connections and control circuit diagrams (usually included in the installation manual).
! Risk analysis including (as indicated on the following pages):
the list of the essential requirements as indicated in Annex I of the Machinery Directive;
the list of the risks presented by the door/gate and the description of the solutions adopted.
! They must also keep the manuals for installation and maintenance of the door/gate and of the components.
! Prepare the operating instructions and general warnings for safety (if necessary integrating those in the manual
for installation of the door/gate) and give the user a copy.
! Compile the proof book and give the user a copy (see facsimile in Annex 1).
! Draft the EC declaration of conformity (see facsimile in Annex 2) and give the user a copy.
! Fill in the label or plate with CE marking and attach it to the motorised door/gate.
N.B. The technical file must be held and made available to the competent national authorities for at least ten years
from the date of construction of the motorised door/gate.
Note also that, as from May 2005, the manufacturer of a new door/gate (both manual and motorised) must observe the
procedure for the CE marking pursuant to the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC), as indicated in annex ZA of the
standard EN 13241-1. This procedure involves the manufacturer:
! setting up and maintaining internal production control;
! having a notified body carry out the initial type tests referring to the applicable characteristics indicated in Annex ZA of
standard EN 13241-1.
N.B. UNAC is preparing guidelines dedicated to the correct application of the Construction Products Directive (89/106/EEC).

Mechanical risks caused by the movement of the gate (see references in Figure 1).
CAUTION – If the door/gate is used solely with hold-to-run controls (and meets the requirements of the
standard EN 12453), the danger points listed below do not have to be protected.
CAUTION – If protective devices are installed (in accordance with the standard EN 12978) which prevent in
all cases contact between the moving leaf and persons (for example photoelectric barriers, presence sensing
devices), it is not necessary to measure the operating forces.
[3] Impact and crushing on the main closing
edge (Figure 1, risk A).
Measure the closure forces (by means of the
special instrument required by the standard EN
12445) as illustrated.
In the case of gates with two leaves, the closure
force should be measured one leaf at a time.
Check that the values measured by the instrument
are below those indicated in the graph.
Carry out the measurements in the following points:
L = 50, 300 and 500 mm;
H = 50 mm,
at mid-height of the leaf and
at the height of the leaf minus 300 mm (max
2500).
N.B. The measurement should be repeated three
times in each point and the average value
considered.
The graph indicates the maximum values of the
dynamic, static and residual operating forces in
relation to the various positions of the leaf.
N. B. With reference to the measurement points with
L = 50, 300 and 500 mm, the maximum dynamic
force value permitted is 400 N.
If the values of the forces are higher, install a
protective device in accordance with the standard
EN 12978 (for example a sensitive edge) and repeat
the measurement.

rubber strip).
The clearance between the gate and ground must prevent the risk of
dragging of the feet.
N.B. Should, due to the slope of the ground, the clearance vary, guards
should be attached (e.g. rubber strips).
If the distances between the drive unit and the leaf vary, check on the
presence of a clearance > 25 mm, or attach guards (e.g. covers or strips in
rubber).
Eliminate or protect any sharp edges, handles, projecting parts etc. (for
example by means of covers or strips in rubber).
