The Motor Controller Single (MCS) is not just the next generation but the industry game changer. We wanted
to create a controller that is simple to use and does just about any feature required in the gate and door
industry. The MCS is not just the next generation but the “Next Transformation” in the gate and door industry
creating an Eclipse over previously developed motor controllers.
This new intelligent motor controller is the best match for your automatic gate or door motors.
The MCS’s Eclipse® Operating System (EOS) is a user friendly menu driven system that uses the 1-touch
button to control, setup and run automatic gates, doors and barriers. It uses a large 4-line LCD screen showing
live reading of the motor performance and status of all inputs and outputs.
The intelligent controller was built from the ground up, based on customer feedback and using todays
technology. With its rich functions, consumer friendly price and with the focus during development being ease
of use and setup makes this controller the ultimate board to control your motors.
Elsema’s easy options to add remote controls or any type of Photoelectric Beams makes for a very user friendly
approach, while avoiding the lockdown approach to accessories.
The control cards are available with an IP66 rated plastic enclosure for outdoor installations or the card only.

Electrical Wiring - Supply, Motors and Inputs
Always switch off power before doing any wiring.
Make sure that all the wiring is completed and that the motor is connected to the control card.
Recommended wire strip length should be 12mm for all connections to the plug in
terminal blocks.
The diagram below shows the supply, motors, and inputs available and the factory default setting for each
input.

1. The i-Learning setup can always be interrupted with the stop button or by pressing the Master
Control knob.
2. Enter Menu 11 to start i-Learning or new control cards will automatically prompt you to do the
i-Learning.
3. Look at the LCD and follow the instructions displayed.
4. Buzzer will indicate learning was successful. If there was no buzzer check all electrical wiring
including the power supply then go back to step 1.
5. If you hear the buzzer after the i-Learn, the gate or door is ready for use.

Auto Close is a feature that automatically closes the gate after a preset time has counted down to zero. The
control card has a normal Auto Close and several special Auto Close features each one having its own
countdown timers.
Elsema Pty Ltd recommends a Photoelectric Beam to be connected to the control card when any of the Auto
Close options are used.
If the Stop input is activated Auto Close is disabled for that cycle only.
Auto Close timer will not count down if the Push Button, Open or Photoelectric Beam input is held active.

1.1 Normal Auto Close
The gate will close after this timer has counted down to zero.
1.2 Auto Close with Photoelectric Trigger
This Auto Close starts counting down as soon as the Photoelectric Beam has been cleared after a trigger
even if the gate is not fully open. If there is no Photoelectric Beam trigger the gate will not Auto Close.
1.3 Auto Close after an Open Obstruction
If the gate opens and hits an obstruction normally the gate will stop and remain in this position. If this
feature is enabled an obstruction will start the timer count down and at zero will close the gate.
12 Gate & Door Controller with Eclipse®Operating System (EOS)

1.4 Auto Close after Power Restored
If the gate is open in any position and then there is a power failure, when power is reconnected the gate will
close with this timer.
1.5 Normal Auto Close on Sequential Obstructions
If the normal Auto Close is set and the gate closes onto an object the gate will stop and reopen. This setting
sets the amount of times the gate will try to Auto Close. After trying for the set limit the gate will remain
open.
1.6 Auto Close Only when Fully Opened
The Auto Close timer will not time out unless the gate is fully open.
Menu 2 – Pedestrian Access
There are several types of Pedestrian Access modes. Pedestrian Access opens the gate for a short time to
allow someone to walk through the gate but does not allow access to a vehicle.
Elsema Pty Ltd recommends a Photoelectric Beam to be connected to the control card when any of the
Auto Close options are used.

This sets the countdown timer for automatically closing the gate when a Pedestrian Access input is
activated.
2.3 Pedestrian Access Auto Close Time with PE Trigger
This Auto Close starts counting down as soon as the Photoelectric Beam has been cleared after a trigger,
when the gate is in the Pedestrian Access position. If there is no Photoelectric Beam trigger the gate will
remain in Pedestrian Access position.
2.4 Pedestrian Access Auto Close on Sequential Obstructions
If the Pedestrian Access Auto Close is set and the gate closes onto an object the gate will stop and
reopen. This setting sets the amount of times the gate will try to Auto Close. After trying for the set limit
the gate will remain open. When turned OFF, the gate will always try to Auto Close.
2.5 Pedestrian Access with Hold Gate
If the Pedestrian Access hold gate is ON and the Pedestrian Access input is permanently activated the
gate will remain open in the Pedestrian Access position. Open input, Close input, Push Button input and
remote controls are disable. Used in Fire Exit applications.

Lock / Brake Output
The factory default for output 1 is lock/ brake release. Output 1 is a voltage-free relay contact with
common and normally open contacts. Having it voltage-free allows you to connect either 12VDC/AC,
24VDC/AC or 240VAC to the common. The normally open contact powers the device. See diagram below:
Courtesy Light
The factory default for the courtesy light is on output 2. Output 2 is an open collector output. This output
is used to switch an external relay such as Elsema’s REL12-1 which can be purchased separately. See
diagram on the next page.
