4. Installation
End stoppers must be used at the ‘open’ and ‘closed’ positions.
The stopper for the closed position should also prevent that contact strips are squashed if they are
being used.
a) The foundation must be free from frost, and the opener must stand at least 30 mm higher than the
surrounding terrain and at least 100 mm from the gate opening. Decide what cables are required. Make
sure sufficient cable conduit or cable is laid into the foundation. Using the example in section 7.
b) Loosen the four screws and remove the hood.
c) You now have access to all holes for cables and ground fixation.
d) Place the opener with 65 mm distance from the gate with the back parallel to the gate.
e) Mark the middle of the elongated holes on the foundation.
f) Take the opener from the foundation and drill holes for 8 mm diameter plugs or anchor bolts.
g) Lay the 0.5 mm cardboard between the opener and the foundation and secure the opener with the anchor
bolts.
5. Emergency release and height adjustment.
To disengage the opener open the lock (only as option with the EST 804). Insert the 6 mm hexagonal key
into the hole marked X and turn it anticlockwise 180°. The pinion is now disengaged from the rack and the
controller is switched off. The height of the pinion axis is 87mm on delivery and can be altered +15 mm/ -
15mm if required. Check that the opener can still be disengaged after adjusting the height.

b) Disengage the opener and close the gate manually and mark during closing the mounting height for the
rail on the gate (149 mm above the base plate of the opener).
c) Drill holes Ø 6,5 mm in the intervals as shown below. Tap M8 threads.
d) Screw the distance pieces into the gate.
e) Fix the first length of rack and ensure that the spring is fitted inside. Don’t tighten the screws until the
assembly is complete.
f) Push five plastic rack segments into the rail, hooked together as shown below. Push the segments into
the rail until they are against the spring. The fifth segment will protrude.
g) Hooked six segments of rack together and insert into the next length of rail so that they protrude at both
ends.
h) Hook the protruding end into the protruding end of the first length. Push this rail against the first rail.
j) Screw this length onto the distance pieces.
k) Connect the butt joint of the two lengths of rail with
the connecting piece.
l) Carry on in this way until only the length of rail with
the second spring remains.
m) The last segment of plastic rack must be cut off so that it fits flush against the spring.
n) Re-engage the opener (turn hexagonal key 180° clockwise).
o) Push the rack lightly onto the pinion and check that the teeth are fully engaged. Make any necessary
corrections. Tighten all screws.
p) Disengage the opener and push the gate until the next joint in the rack and carry on as under (o).
q) Carry on in this way until the rack has been checked in its entire length.
r) Remove the cardboard from under the opener.

9. Operation modes MO 56/S (DIP switches)
Alter only when power supply is switched off.
After altering the DIP switch mode confirm with the button LERN.
9.1. Automatic closure (S1)
When automatic closure is active, the stored pause time starts to elapse, every time the gate has reached
the position completely open. When the stored time has elapsed, the gate will close automatically.
If the gate is completely open and a stop command is given (TS), the function automatic closure is blocked.
Automatic closure will be activated again and the pause time will start new, when button BT or radio
transmitter is used.
When the gate is completely open and LS is active, the gate will stay open even after the pause time has
elapsed. LS prevent the gate from closing, but the pause time is not extended. If LS is not active any more
and the pause time has elapsed already, the gate will close immediately.
S1 off: Automatic closure is off
S1 on: If gate is completely open, it will close automatically after the stored pause time has
elapsed. (choose from 0 up to 300 s, default 30 s)
9.2. Warning prior to opening (S2)
When warning prior opening is activated, the open command will start the warning light first. The gate will
open after the warning time has elapsed.
S2 off: no warning prior to opening
S2 on: 4 s warning time prior to opening is active
9.3. Warning prior to closing (S3)
When warning prior to closing is activated, the close command will start the warning light first. The gate will
close after the stored warning time has elapsed.
S3 off: no warning prior to closing
S3 on: warning time prior to closing is active (choose from 0 up to 300 s, default 5 s)
9.4. Photocell test (S4)
Photocell may be tested prior to every movement of the gate where the observation through photocell is
active.
S4 off: Photocell test is off
S4 on: Prior to every movement the photocells are tested. The gate can only move when
photocells are without malfunction.
Caution: The number of photocells has to be stored before using the test.(cha. 9.6)

©09.02.2006 ELKA-Torantriebe GmbH u. Co. Betriebs KG page 8 EST 204, EST 404, EST 804
9.5. Photocell function (S5)
You may choose between two functions.
S5 off: LS is used during opening and during closing.
When obstacle is detected, the gate stops. After obstacle is gone, the gate opens.
S5 on: LS is used during closing only.
When obstacle is detected, the gate stops and opens immediately.
9.6. Timing or impulse logic (S6)
S6 on: Controller works as impulse logic (max. 60000 pulses per opening). Pulse cable
from motor to controller is needed.
10. Safety functions MO 56/S
10.1. Stop contact
When contact TS is open (LED is on) no gate movement is possible. Using TS during a gate movement
stops the gate immediately. The automatic closure is blocked when TS is being used.
10.2. Force detection
During the learn mode the controller analyses and stores the required forces to open and close the gate. In
the operation mode the actual force is compared with the stored force value. If the actual force is higher than
the stored value plus a certain extra, the controller commands a stop and a short distance reversal (for 1s) to
free the obstacle.
10.3. Running time control
If the gate doesn’t reach the end position closed at the (impulse) calculated position, the motor will continue
to run for maximal 30s. The pulse counter is set to zero at the new position.
10.4. Safety contact strips
When safety edge SLZ during closing or safety edge SLA during opening reports an obstacle (LED SL is on),
the controller performs stop and short distance reversal.
When the gate is still standing and a safety edge reports an obstacle, the gate can not move in the direction
of the appropriate edge.
Before a movement the appropriate safety edge is tested. An artificial signal is created and the evaluation
module is checked.
Note: See chapter operation in emergency mode. (chapter 11.)
10.5. Photocell
Two photocell functions are possible. They are selected with DIP 5.
10.6. Photocell test
Prior to every gate movement a photocell test may be performed.
The test consists of two phases. During the first phase the supply of the transmitters is switched off. The
controller expects within the next 2.5 s that the receiver reports an obstacle.
During the second phase the supply of the transmitter is switched on again. The controller expects the
receiver to report no obstacle any more. Only after this procedure the gate can move.
If an error occurs in the first phase, the photocell (receiver) is damaged. The gate will not move. An error
message is given through the Diag. LED (flashes 1 time).
If an error occurs in the second phase, the controller interprets this as a real obstacle. The gate will not
move. No error message is given.
You may connect and test up to 6 pairs of photocells with the
controller MO56/S. Therefore add all n.c. relay contacts of the
receivers in serial. Parallel to each relay contact you must add a 1
kΩresistor (Resistors are needed only when photocell test is
used).
The MO 56/S must learn how many photocells
are connected to it.
Activate the test by setting DIP 4 to ON and run
the learning of the running time.
After this please check every single photocell
for proper function.

10.7. Traffic lights
The controller offers potential free outputs for a green traffic light and a red traffic light (warning light).
The green light is on, when gate is completely open.
The red / warning light is on during movements, during warning times and when gate stops in between.
The red / warning is off, when the gate is completely open or when it is completely closed.
11. Learn mode MO 56/S
The controller must learn the following parameter during the installation:
- Running time for opening and closing (Gate must be completely open when starting procedure)
- Required force for opening and closing
- If photocell test is needed, how many photocell are connected
In addition you may alter the default values of the following parameter:
- Position for partial opening (BTG)
- Force reserve (step 1-16, default 8)
- Pause time for automatic closure (0 to 300 s, default 30 s)
- Warning time prior to closing (0 to 300 s, default 5 s)
- Radio codes for BT and BTG (default: BT = -+-+-+-+, BTG = no code)
You may use the learn button (LERN) and the LED’s Diag and SL for programming.

12. Operation after power supply break / Emergency mode
When power is switched on, the position of the gate is not known to the controller. Therefore it is only
possible to close the gate until the end position closed is found (gate is pressed against mechanical stopper).
After the position closed is known, the controller changes into normal operation mode.
If a safety device has a malfunction, it is not possible to operate the gate in normal operation mode into the
appropriate direction.
But it is possible to operate the gate in dead man (hold to run) operation using the BT button (external button
fix to terminals BT, or BT button on the controller itself). To activated dead man operation, you press the BT
button keep on pressing for 10 s. During this time the warning light will flash in periods of seconds.
Emergency mode is not possible using the radio remote control.
13. Error codes MO 56/S
The controller displays certain error codes in case an error is detected. The code is given by the Diag LED.
The Led is flashing several times, makes a break, and repeats flashing several times. To specify the code,
please count how often the LED flashes between two breaks.

15. Operating modes MO43 (DIP switches)
The settings are made with the dip-switches 1 to 6.
a) Switch 1 on: Interrupting the photo-cell stops the gate, when the photo-cell is free the gate opens.
Switch 1 off: Interrupting the photo-cell stops the gate during the closing phase, it then re-opens
immediately. During opening the photo-cell has no effect.
b) Switch 2 on: The gate closes automatically from the partial open position when the registered time to
remain open and a pre-warning time (if activated) have elapsed.
Switch 2 off: No automatic closure from the partial open position.
c) Switch 3 on: The gate closes automatically from the open position when the registered time to
remain open and a pre-warning time (if activated) have elapsed.
Switch 3 off: No automatic closure from the open position.
d) Switch 4 on: A pre-warning of four seconds before the gate closes, this also applies to closing from
the pedestrian position.
Switch 4 off: No pre-warning before gate closes.
e) Switch 5 on: A pre-warning of four seconds before the gate opens, this also applies to opening for
pedestrians.
Switch 5 off: No pre-warning before gate opens.
f) Switch 6 on: The buttons for opening (BA) and closing (BZ) are dead man’s buttons (The gate only
moves if one of them is pressed). Radio remote control does not work in this mode.
Safety equipment and the limits of movement are still effective.
Switch 6 off: The control box works with locking relays.

16. Learn mode MO 43
The controller must learn the following parameter during the installation:
- Running time for opening and closing (Gate must be completely open when starting procedure)
In addition you may alter the default values of the following parameter:
- Position for partial opening (BTG)
- Pause time for automatic closure
16.1. Learning the running time
a) Disengage the opener and open the gate as far as it should open when operating but not against the
stopper „gate open“.
b) With the opener engaged, press the learn button for approx. 3 seconds until the diagnostic LED starts
flashing.
c) Push the learn button. The opener will close slowly and switch off when it is completely closed. If the
learn button is held down the opener will close quickly.
d) The LED now flashes in one second intervals. If automatic closure is to be used press the learn button
after the required time to stay open, otherwise press the learn button straight away.
e) This time only takes effect when automatic closure is activated (operating mode switch 3 ‘on’).
f) Setup is complete, the LED turns off.
16.2. Setup for the partial opening module
The standard setup must be completed. The pedestrian opening is automatically set to half of the total
distance which the gate opens. You may select any other position as partial open.
a) With the opener engaged, press the learn button for approx. 3 seconds until the diagnostic LED starts
flashing.
b) Open the gate with the service button (BT) as far as it’s intended to open for e.g. pedestrians.
c) Push the partial opening button (BTG) - the gate closes slowly and switches off at the end stopper.
d) The LED flashes in one second intervals.
e) Press the learn button when the time to stay open for partial opening has elapsed. This time is only
effective when automatic closure for partial opening is activated (operating mode switch 2).
f) Setup for partial opening is complete - the LED turns off.
g) Make a test run and set the power trimmers so that they give a little more power than the opener
requires.
17. Operation after power supply break
The gate closes quickly after the first signal and switches off at the end stopper. The re-orientation is
complete.
If safety devices are activated the gate stops. When the safety devices are free again, the gate closes
quickly on the first signal.
If the gate is closed, then it will only open after the second signal.
The normal operating cycle is in effect.

18. Setting personal code in the K Type radio remote control
Example A) Receiver using the code switches on the logic board : MO 33, MO 43 or MO 542
or receiver with code switches in conjunction with the boards : MO 32, MO 42, MO 52Z2, MO 60 or MO
62
Follow the example in the diagram below.
Transmitter SK, SKX and SKI in conjunction with K Type receivers using code switches.
The switches 1 to 7 in transmitter and receiver must have the same settings. The switches 8 and 9 of the
receiver allocate a channel appropriate to the button of the transmitter. The switches 8 and 9 in
multi - channel must be set at 0.
The examples on the right in the diagram above show the allocation of a channel with a one - channel
transmitter using the switches 8 and 9 as in the receiver.
Example B) Receivers without code switches : Logic boards MO 34 or MO 55
These receivers learn the code from the transmitter as described in the paragraph ‘Learning personal code’
in these installation instructions.
Example C) Combination of examples A and B
A garage door opener with MO 55 and a swing gate opener with either MO 32 or MO 33.
1.) Set the code of the transmitter and receiver for the swing gate opener as described above. Switches 1
to 7 have the same settings in both transmitter and receiver. The switches 8 and 9 set at 0.
The swing gate opener now receives signals from the first button of the transmitter.
2.) You can now allocate the second button to the garage door opener by going through the procedure
described in the installation instructions for the garage door opener in the paragraph ‘Learning
personal code’.
