Before connecting the photocells, arrange them for the duly address assignment, depending on their
position and operation mode:
Photocells during closing:
trip only during the
closing of the automated system - suitable for
protecting the closing area from risk of impact.
Photocells during opening:
trip only during the
opening of the automated system - suitable for
protecting the opening area from risk of impact.
Photocells during opening/closing:
trip during
both the opening and closing - suitable for protec-
ting the entire movement area from risk of impact.

4.10 TRADITIONAL PHOTOCELLS
This board lets you use traditional photocells (contact N.C. with relay).
Before connecting the photocells, it is best to identify the operating type, which depends on the mo-
vement area they have to protect:
Closing photocells:
trip only during the auto-
mated system closing - suitable for protecting the
closing area from risk of impact.
Opening photocells:
trip only during the auto-
mated system opening - suitable for protecting the
opening area from risk of impact.
Photocells for opening/closing:
trip during both
the opening and closing - suitable for protecting the
entire movement area from risk of impact.
Pulse generators: used as pulse generators for
opening the automated system
.
Fail Safe function
This function lets you monitor the correct alignment and operation of the photocells before each move-
ment. To enable the Fail Safe function, enter the ADVANCED Programming and set the
o1
o1 =
01
01 function.
With Fail Safe disabled: connect the transmitter (TX) power supply to terminals 15 and
18 of J3.
With Fail Safe enabled:
connect the power supply negative of the transmitters (TX) to
OUT1.
Then jumper the unused safety inputs with OUT1.
Hereafter are provided the drawings for some connection examples.

5. PROGRAMMING
Programming is divided in two levels:
• BASIC programming
• ADVANCED programming
The programming phases are (see Tab.):
1. to access PROGRAMMING (1A or 1B);
2. to show the set values and modify them, if you
want. Changing the values is effective imme-
diately, while the final memorisation must be
carried out upon exiting programming (St).
3. exit the programming by using
St function. Select
Y to SAVE the configuration you just perfor-
med, otherwise select no to EXIT WITHOUT
SAVING any changes.
You can EXIT programming at anytime:
• press and hold F and then also
-
to switch
directly to St.
F

R2
This board also allows programming using a PC
or MAC.
This programming requires connection to PC/
MAC via USB cable and USB-B relevant port, or
by using the X-COM module.
The programming SOFTWARE with relevant in-
structions, must be downloaded from the website:
www.faacgroup.com
www.faacgroup.com
The programming using a PC/MAC, with the de-
fault PASSWORD does not inhibit the program-
ming by board. The writing PC will be displayed in
correspondence with the modified values. Notes:
when you modify the values by board the previous
PC/MAC programming will be overwrote.
The default password is 0000.
The programming using a PC/MAC, with a modi-
fied PASSWORD (different from the default one),
willinhibit theprogramming byboard. If oneof the
buttons is pressed, the display will show PC pro-
gramming for 5 sec and changes will be allowed
only by PC /MAC.

CU Logic modified from a PC/MAC
When a logic requiring a CLOSE (b, bC, C), input is selected,
the OPEN B inputs will automatically be changed to CLOSE. , if
you choose a logic that does not require the use of CLOSE inputs,
these inputs will change to OPEN B. The simultaneous presence
of CLOSE and OPEN B is possible only using the PC/MAC software.
For a description of how the logics operate, see the related paragraph.

PAUSE A TIME (visualised only with Automatic logics)
Is the pause time in a TOTAL opening (it is enabled only if a logic with pause
time has been selected).
Adjustable from 00 to 59 sec, in 1-second steps.
Next the value 59, the viewing changes to minutes and tenths of a second
(separated by a decimal point) and time is adjusted in 10-second steps up to
the maximum value of 9.5

PAUSE TIME B (visualised only with Automatic logics):
Is the pause time in a PARTIAL opening (it is effective only if a logic with pause
time has been selected).
Adjustable from 00 to 59 sec, in 1-second steps.
Next the value 59, the viewing changes to minutes and tenths of a second
(separated by a decimal point) and time is adjusted in 10-second steps up to
the maximum value of 9.5

NR. OF MOTORS:
You can select the number of motors present in the system:
1 = 1 motor
2 = 2 motors
If the SETUP is performed with only one motor, and later two mo-
tors are used, the board will signal error 14 - configuration error,
which can be deleted by repeating the SETUP with two motors or
by returning to one motor.
If a SETUPis performed with two motors and later only one is used,
the board will not signal an error. Only the motor connected to input
M1 will move.
When programming from a PC/MAC, you can select different partial
openings.
