youtoselectthetypeofoperation according to themovement
area they have to protect (see fig.3 for example):
Opening safety devices: they are tripped when an obstacle is
detected only during gate opening movement. They
cause immediate closure and resumption of opening
motion on release (see programming in par.5.2).
Closing safety devices: they are tripped when an obstacle is
detected only during gate closing movement. They
cause re-opening, either immediate or on release (see
programming in par.5.2).
Opening/closing safety devices: they are tripped during the
gate opening and closing movements. They cause
stopping and restart motion on release.
"Edge" safety devices: they are tripped during the gate opening
and closing movements. They cause immediate
reversal of motion and stopping after two seconds.
Encoder: it is tripped if there is an obstacle during gate opening
and closing movements. It causes immediate reversal
of motion and stopping after two seconds.
Note: in operators for industrial sectional doors, the
anti-crushing function is not tripped during closing,
because the operator acts on the rope shaft and not
directly on the door.
N.B. If two or more safety devices have the same function
(opening, closing, opening and closing, edge), the contacts
must be connected to each other in series (fig. 4).
N.C. contacts must be used.
N.B: If safety devices are not used, jumper connect the
terminals as shown in fig. 5.

4.2 Terminal board - Power supply (fig. 2)
POWER SUPPLY (terminals PE-N-L):
PE : Earth connection
N : Power supply ( Neutral )
L : Power supply ( Line )
NB.: For correct operation, the board must be connected to the
earth conductor in the system. Install an adequate differential
thermal breaker upstream of the system
MOTOR - (terminals 17-18-19): Motor connection.
Operators for sliding gates: refer to paragraph 4.6 for instructions
on correct connection of the equipment to the interface
board on the operator.
Operator 541: refer to paragraph 4.7 for instructions on correct
connection of the equipment to the interface board on the
operator.
LAMP - (terminals 20-21): Flashing lamp output 230Vac
max 60W.
Consult the relevant tables for a detailed description of
operation in the different logics
OPEN A - “Total Opening” command (terminal 1): any pulse
generator (push-button, detector, etc.) which, by
closing a contact, commands total opening and/or
closing of the gate leaf.
Toinstall several totalopeningpulse generators, connect
the N.O. contacts in parallel (fig. 14).
OPEN B - “Partial opening” or “Closing” command (terminal
2): any pulse generator (push-button, detector, etc.)
which, by closing a contact, commands partial opening
and/or closing of the gate leaf. In the B, C and B/C
logics, it always commands gate closure.
To install several partial opening pulse generators,
connect the N.O. contacts in parallel (fig.14).
FSWOP-Openingsafetydevicescontact(terminal3):Thepurposeof
theopeningsafetydevicesistoprotecttheleafmovement
area during opening. During opening, in the A-AP-S-
E-EP logics the safety devices reverse the movement
of the gate, or stop and restart the movement
when it is released (see advanced programming in
Chpt. 5.2). During the opening cycle in logicsthe B, C
and
B/C, they interrupt movement. They never operate
during the closing cycle.
If the Opening safety devices are engaged when the
gate is closed, they prevent the opening movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. con-
tacts in series (fig.4).
NB.: If no opening safety devices are connected, jumper
connect inputs FSW OP and -TX FSW (fig. 5).
FSW CL - Closing safety devices contact (terminal 4): The purpose
of the closing safety devices is to protect the gate
movement area during closing. During closing, in the
A-AP-S-E-EP logics, the safety devices reverse the
movement of the gate, or stop and reverse the
movement when it is released (see advanced
programming in Chpt. 5.2). During the closing cycle
in logics B, C and B/C, they interrupt movement. They
never operate during the opening cycle. If the Closing
safety devices are engaged when the gate is open,
they prevent the closing movement.
Toinstallseveralsafetydevices,connecttheN.C.contacts
in series (fig.4).
NB.: If no closing safety devices are connected, jumper
connect terminals FSW CL and -TX FSW (fig. 5).
STOP - STOP contact (terminal 5): any device (e.g. a
push-button) which, by opening a contact, stops gate
movement.
To install several STOP devices, connect the N.C.
contacts in series (fig. 4).
NB.: If STOPdevicesare notconnected,jumper connect
the STOP and - terminals.
SAFE - EDGE safety device contact (terminal 6):Thepurposeof
the "edge" safety device is to protect the leaf movement
areaduringopening/closing. Inalllogics,duringopening
and closing, the safety device reverses gate movement
for 2 seconds. If the safety devices operate again during
the 2-seconds reversing time, it stops movement (STOP)
without any reversing.
If the Edge safety device is engaged while the gate is
closed or open, it prevents movement.
To install several safety devices, connect the N.C.
contacts in series (fig.4).
NB.: If edge safety devices are not connected, jumper
connect the SAFE and - inputs (fig. 5).
FC1 / FC2- Opening and closing limit-switch contacts
(terminals 7 and 8): The purpose of the opening
and closing limit-switches is to establish the reference
point for the stop, or for start of deceleration (pre- and
post-limitswitch), or for operator braking (see advanced
programming in Chpt 5.2). The limit-switch device must
have an NC contact for connection between the input
(FC1 or FC2) and the equipment's terminal (see Fig.2).
OPERATORS FOR SLIDING GATES: consult paragraph 4.6
for correct connection of limit-switches and motor.
OPERATOR 541: consult paragraph 4.7 for correct
connection of limit-switches and motor.
ENCODER - Contacts of motor rotation control sensor
(terminal 9): This input is designed for connection of the
Encoder sensor. The presence of the encoder is signalled
- when the gearmotor is running - by the flashing of the
"ENC" LED on the board. If the encoder is used, the
equipment knows the exact gate position during the entire
movement, and also controls other functions with greater
precision, such as partial opening and decelerations (see
advanced programming in Chpt 5.2.). The encoder also
operates as an anti-crushing device: if the gate strikes an
obstacle during opening or closing, the encoder reverses
gate leaf movement for 2 seconds. If the encoder
operates again during the 2-second reversing time,
it STOPS movement without performing any reversing.
Note: in operators for industrial sectional doors, the
anti-crushing function is not active during closing,
because the operator acts on the rope shaft and not
directly on the door.
– Negative for power supply to accessories (terminals
10, 11 and 12)
+ 24 Vdc - Positive for power supply to accessories
(terminals 13 and 14)
Important: Accessories max. load is 500 mA. To calculate
absorption values, refer to the instructions for individual
accessories.
TX -FSW - Negative for power supply to photocell transmitters
(terminal 15)
If you use this terminal for connecting the negative for
supplying power to the photocell transmitters, you may, if
necessary, also use the FAIL SAFE function (see advanced
programming in Chpt. 5.2).
If this function is enabled, the equipment checks operation
of the photocells before every opening or closing cycle.

INDICATOR-LIGHT:
If 00 is selected, the output functions as a
standard indicator-light (lighted at opening
and pause, flashing at closing, and off when
gate closed).
Courtesy light: Different figures correspond to
timed activation of the output, which can be used
(byarelay)topoweracourtesylamp.Timecanbe

E2 = electric lock command before opening
and closing movements
E3 = 'traffic lights' function: the output is active
in"open"and"openonpause"statusandisdisabled
3 seconds before the closing manoeuvre starts.
Note: there is 3 seconds of pre-flashing before
the closing manoeuvre.
E4 = 'traffic lights' function: the output is
active only in "closed" status.
Attention:donotexceed theoutput's maximum
load (24Vdc-3W). If necessary, use a relay
and a power supply source outside the
equipment.
CLOSING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:
Selectthe trippingmodeoftheclosingphotocells.
They operate for the closing movement only: they
stop movement and reverse it when they are
released, or they reverse it immediately.
Y = Reverse on release
no = Reverse immediately to opening
Display Function Default
OPENING PHOTOCELLS LOGIC:
Selectthetrippingmodeoftheopeningphotocells.
They operate for the opening movement only:
they stop the movement and restart it when they
are released, or they reverse it immediately.
Y = Reverse immediately to closing
no = Restart movement on release
ENCODER:
Iftheencoderisused, youmayselectits presence.
If the encoder is present and enabled,
"decelerations" and "partial opening" are
controlled by the encoder (see relevant
paragraphs).
The encoder operates as an anti-crushing
device: If the gate strikes an obstacle during
opening or closing, the encoder immediately
reverses gate leaf movement for 2 seconds.
If the encoder operates again during the
2-seconds reversing time, it stops movement
(STOP) without commanding any reversing. If no
sensor is supplied, the parameter must be set
on 00 . If there is the encoder, adjust the sen-
sitivity of the anti-crushing system, by varying the
parameter between 01 (maximum sensitivity)
and 99 (minimum sensitivity).
from 01 to 99 = Encoder active and
sensitivity adjustment
00 = Encoder disabled
Display Function Default
Post-limit switch DECELERATION:
You can select gate deceleration after the
opening and closing limit-switches have been
tripped.
Time can be adjusted from 00 to 20 in
0.02-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.
00 = Deceleration disabled
from 01 to 20 = Deceleration enabled
Pre-limit switch DECELERATION:
You can select gate deceleration before the
opening and closing limit-switches have been
tripped.
Time can be adjusted from 00 to 99 in
0,1-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater deceleration precision.
00 = Deceleration disabled
from 01 to 99 = Deceleration enabled
PARTIAL OPENING:
You can adjust the width of partial leaf opening.
Time can be adjusted from 01 to 20 in
1-second steps.
If an encoder is used, the adjustment is not
determined by time but by motor revs, thus
obtaining greater partial-opening precision. For
example, with pinion Z20, partial opening can
vary from about 60 cm to 4 m.

cycles. Settable (in thousands) from 00 to 99
thousand cycles.
Thedisplayed valueis updatedascyclesproceed.
This function can be used to check use of the
board or to exploit the "Assistance request".
NB.: modification of programming parameters comes into effect
immediately, whereas definitive memory storage occurs only when you
exit programming and return to gate status viewing. If the equipment
is powered down before return to status viewing, all modifications will
be lost.
To restore the default settings of the programming disconnect terminal
strip J1, press the three buttons +, -, Fsimultaneously and keep them
pressed for 5 seconds.
The table below shows the status of the LEDs in relation to to the
status of the inputs.
Note the following: Led Lighted = closed contact
Led off = open contact
Check the status of the LEDs as per Table.

FC2 Limit-switch free Limit-switch engaged

STOP Command inactive Command activated
SAFE Safety devices disengaged Safety devices engaged
ENC Flashes while the motor rotates
N.B.:
•The status of the LEDs while the gate is closed at rest are shown
in bold.
•If the Encoder sensor is not installed, the ENC LED is always OFF.
•If you select the reverse opening direction (see par.5.1), the
operation of the limit-switches is also reversed. Therefore, in closed
status, the engaged limit-switch will be FC1 (LED OFF).
When you have made the connections between the
578D equipment and the on-board operator interface
board, and have fitted the travel-limit plates on the rack
(see operator instructions), check opening direction and
limit-switch efficiency, as follows:
•Power up the system.
•Select the opening direction (see par.5.1.). If you look
at the gate from the side where the operator is installed,
the opening movement should be from left to right - if
it is, select the standard direction, otherwise select the
reverse direction.
•Set parameter EC on 00 (see parl.5.2).
•When you made the modifications, exit programming,
return to inputs viewing and then power down and power
up the system.
•Release the operator and, sliding the gate manually,
check the efficiency of the limit-switches, controlling the
status LEDs of the inputs (see par.6.1). If you look at the
gate from the side where the operator is installed, the
FC1 LED should go off when the stop position of the left
to right movement is reached, and FC2 should go off
when the stop position of the right to left movement is
reached (also see fig.21).
•Lock the operator about midway along its travel.
•Give an OPEN A command and check if the gate moves
in opening direction. If it does not, lock the movement
and, after cutting the power to the system, change over
the wires connected to terminals of MOT-1 and MOT-2.

When you have made the connections between the 578D
equipment and the on-board operator interface board, and
have adjusted the limit-switches (see operator instructions),
check opening direction as follows:
•Cut power to the system.
•Release the operator and partially open the door.
•Lock the operator, power up the system again and command
opening. If the door begins its closing movement, change
opening direction (see Par.5.1). After you have changed it,
return to viewing automated system status, and then power
down and power up the equipment.
NOTE - For perfect installation of the 578D equipment, using
sectional doors operator 541, take care over the following
aspects:
OPERATING LOGIC ( LO ) :
If you wish to control the operator 541 by using an UP and
DOWN push-button, you have to use the following logics: B ,
C , B/C . (REFER TO THE TABLES OF THE LOGICS)
DECELERATION BEFORE ( rP ) AND AFTER TRAVEL-STOP (rA ):
NOTE: NEVER INCREASE THE DEFAULT VALUE OF THE AFTER
TRAVEL-STOP ( rA ), SET ON THE CONTROL BOARD
The reduction of the operator’s speed during deceleration
also reduces the force it can deliver. If the door is not well
balanced, 541 may not be able to perform deceleration at
opening (door with strong tendency to close) or at closing
(door with strong tendency to open), because the delivered
force is not sufficient to overcome the imbalance. In this case,
0 must be set as the pre- and post-limitswitch deceleration
value (see advanced programming in Par.5.2), because a
different value could prevent the limit-switch being reached
or prevent reversal of motion following tripping of the anti-
crushing system.
ANTI-CRUSHING SAFETY DEVICE DURING CLOSING:
although it has an Encoder sensor, the 541 operator cannot
intrinsically guarantee this safety device, because it is not
fitted directly on the door, but acts on the rope winding
shaft. Therefore, the ENCODER sensor cannot detect any
obstacle during closing. In this connection, we recommend
to observe current legal regulations for protecting the lower
part of the door.
NOTE - For motors with an inductive sensor (746 and 844) take
care over setting post-limitswitch deceleration and braking:
if deceleration is too long or braking is insufficient, the plate
fitted on the gate rack can go beyond the sensor until it
disengages the sensor. When the gate is stopped, check if
only the limit-switch involved is engaged. The relevant LED
must be off. If it went off and then re-lighted, or if both the
LEDs of the limit-switches are off, reduce the post-limitswitch
deceleration value and/or increase braking value.
At end of programming, run a few complete cycles to check if
the automated system and the accessories connected to it are
operating correctly, giving special attention to safety devices,
operator thrust force adjustment, and to the anti-crushing
device (Encoder sensor). Hand over the "User's guide" page (in
the operator instructions) to the customer, and describe how
the system works, as well as the operator release and locking
operations indicated in the said guide.
DECELERATION BEFORE ( rP ) AND AFTER TRAVEL-STOP (rA ):
Always set to 0 (ZERO) the deceleration parameters for the
values: before and after travel-stop
rP = 0 rA = 0
FINAL BRAKING ( br ) :
Always set to 0 (ZERO) the final braking parameter
br = 0
