• Connecting a safety edge
e safety edge resistor must be installed in the safety edge device so that a break in the resistor or the cable is interpreted as
actuation of the device. See the wiring diagram below.
e resistor can be between 1.0-8.2 kΩ with 1% tolerance and a power capability of at least ½ W. FAAC Nordic AB recommends
an impedance of 8.2 kΩ. A safety edge can only be connected in series.
When connecting in series, only one resistor is used in the outermost safety edge as shown in the wiring diagram below. e
maximum number of safety edge devices connected in series with an impedance of 8.2 kΩ is six per input.
Note that the impedance used for a safety edge must be checked and entered into the EP104 during commissioning, see
"Commissioning" below.
!
Other types of impedance safety edge must not be connected directly to the safety edge inputs – they require an external
control unit.
See the instruction manual for the device used.
Only use safety edge devices approved by FAAC Nordic AB.

• Connecting communication
To optimise communication between two EP104s, it is important to choose suitable cable and to lay it correctly. FKAR-PG,
E 01 721 20 is a suitable cable.
Otherwise use a twisted pair shielded cable with a conductor cross sectional area of at least 0.2 mm2and a capacitance of 50-
70 pF/m.
Connect the shielding to the earth bar or to terminal 34.
e cable length must not exceed 1000 m.

• Connecting an encoder (electronic limit switch)
EP104 supports encoders of type DB405. e encoder uses the same terminals as a conventional mechanical limit switch. e
two diagrams below illustrate how to connect the encoder, and they also show which is the left and right motor from the point
of view of the automatic control unit. Make sure the cable to the encoder does not share the same ground pipe as the motor
power supply.

INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR DAAB EP104 CONTROL BOARD
Configuring the EP104
is section provides general instructions on how to change settings in the EP104.
It is a good idea to discharge any static charge in your body by always touching an earthed connection before starting installation.
• General
All values are stored according to a list of channels (in the channel reference), with each channel corresponding to a particular
control parameter or value in the EP104.
e display can show a value up to four digits long, or a channel number with the prex C, d, L, o, P or r, followed by three
digits.
e display can be used to show values as well as change settings – the value ashes while the setting is being changed.
If E appears followed by a number, this is an error message – see "Error messages". Note that the start-up values "EP-1" and
"EP-2" are not error messages. When the power is connected, EP-1 appears when the unit controls one motor, and EP-2 when
the unit controls two motors.
e <┘button switches between the value and the channel number, or in conguration mode, it saves the value.
e + button scrolls up the channel list in channel mode. In conguration mode, the button increases the value.
e - button scrolls down the channel list in channel mode. In conguration mode, the button reduces the value.
If no button is pressed in 90 seconds, the display switches to economy mode with reduced brightness. Press any button to
return to normal mode.

!
e safety circuit, safety edge or limit switch must not be connected to, or used for, any other function. If signals from
the EP104 are needed, a separate output card must be used.
e connection instructions are the same for all types of application, but not all signals may be needed.
If stop signals are unused, the associated input signals must be jumpered on the terminal block, see "Signal reference".

Applications
is section describes the settings required for various types of application.
• Folding doors
Load guard
When a folding door is commissioned, the load guard must be congured for personal protection. is means that it
provides protection during the opening movement according to the applicable standards (obstacles while opening and also
inside the folds). Personal protection means that a normal power is dened – the power used by the motor cannot fall below
a lower limit or exceed an upper limit, calculated automatically by the system on the basis of the normal power. As a result,
the load guard cannot be set higher than the normal eect, providing optimum protection during the opening movement.
Safety edge
ere are usually two safety edge devices for a folding door, one for each half. ey are connected to S.E1 and S.E2 and
adjusted as described in "Safety edge". If no safety edge is used for the opening movement, S.E3 is disabled.
• Sliding doors/sliding gates
Load guard
When a sliding door/gate is installed, the load guard should be congured without personal protection. is means that
purpose of the load guard is more to protect the motor and other mechanisms from damage. e load guard does not
therefore provide eective protection for the opening movement if the door is opened against an obstacle with a crush risk.
Safety edge
Up to two safety edge devices are used in a sliding door/gate – one at the front and possibly one at the back. More than
one safety edge device is usually tted to sliding gates to provide protection from crushing between the gate buers and
xed objects like gate posts, motor winders, etc. e safety edge device tted to the front provides protection for the closing
movement, and the device tted to the back provides protection for the opening movement. Safety edge devices providing
protection for the closing movement are connected to S.E1 and S.E2, while S.E3 is for the opening movement. Adjust the
safety edge as described in "Safety edge".
• Up-and-over doors
Load guard
When an up-and-over door is installed, the load guard should be congured without personal protection. is means that
purpose of the load guard is more to protect the motor and other mechanisms from damage.
Safety edge
A safety edge for an up-and-over door must be set to send acknowledgements. To change this setting in the EP104, set the
value of channel C101 – safety edge acknowledgement – to 1. e safety edge device is connected to S.E1 and adjusted as
described in "Safety edge".
• Hinged gates
is section describes the commissioning steps required for hinged gates. See "Commissioning" to nd out how to congure
the functions.
Load guard
When a hinged gate is installed, the load guard should be congured without personal protection. is means that purpose
of the load guard is more to protect the motor and other mechanisms from damage. e load guard does not therefore
provide eective protection for the opening movement if the gate is opened against an obstacle with a crush risk.
Safety edge
ere are usually two safety edge devices for a hinged gate, one on each side. ey are connected to S.E1 and S.E2 and
adjusted as described in "Safety edge". If no safety edge is used for the opening movement, S.E3 is disabled.
• Barriers
is section describes the commissioning steps required for barriers. See "Commissioning" to nd out how to congure the
functions.
Load guard
Load guards on barriers are only intended to protect the barrier and other mechanical components, so they are congured
without personal protection. is means that the barrier changes direction in the presence of a high load in either direction.
Safety edge
A barrier usually has no safety edge at all – in this case, set S.E1, S.E2 and S.E3 to 0.0. Otherwise, adjust the safety edge as
described in "Safety edge".

INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR DAAB EP104 CONTROL BOARD
Commissioning
e process is the same for EP104-1 for one motor winder and EP104-2 for two motor winders.
e settings are changed as described in the section "Changing settings in the EP104".
An E on the far left of the display indicates an error message, see "Error messages". Note that the start-up values "EP-1" and
"EP-2" are not error messages.
Carry out the commissioning steps in the order shown – this will ensure that the channels are congured in the correct
sequence.
e automatic control unit is supplied in hold-to-run mode. Hold-to-run means that the motor runs while the button is
pressed, and stops when it is released.
e control unit will only work correctly if the following steps are carried out:
• Safety
!
Anyone commissioning the EP104 must have documented knowledge and understanding of its functions, and knowledge
of commissioning control systems for the application to be used.
!
See "Settings" to nd out how to read and congure values in the EP104.
Check that:
• All equipment is mechanically secure and installed according to the applicable instruction manuals.
• All components are correctly connected and installed by authorised installers before switching on the power supply.
• e necessary safety measures are in place to remove the risk of crushing and other risks relating to the controlled unit.
• Any necessary decoupling devices are installed in the controlled unit and that they work as intended.
Make sure you:
• Discharge any static charge in your body by touching an earthed object, for example the earth connection between the door
and the control unit, before changing settings or doing other work on the EP104.
• Take care when operating internal buttons to avoid touching live components.
• Stop circuit
e stop circuit consists of a safety output, stop buttons and contactors. If the control unit detects a fault during the self test,
the power to the contractors is interrupted. e stop buttons are connected in series with the contactors, and they interrupt
the power to the contactors. Check that the stop diode lights up.
• Limit switch
Limit switches are used to inform the unit when the door is in the open or closed position. ere are three limit switch options
to choose from: encoders, which are electronic limit switches that detect the exact position of the door in degrees; mechanical
limit switches using ridges that control microswitches; or, if the motor does not have any limit switches, timer control.
Encoder (electronic limit switch)
Right/left encoder position
e encoder works by detecting the position of the door, and acts as an intelligent limit switch. A magnetic sensor means
that the EP104 knows the precise position of the door, and the limits for the open and closed positions can be directly
congured in the unit using degrees, rather than physically changing the limit switch ridges in the motor winder. It is
possible to commission one half at a time by activating only one limit switch at a time (L001, L002).
For a top-mounted motor winder, the motor is congured as for a right-mounted motor window. See below for the side-
mounted motor winder. Note that if the motor winder is installed upside down, the sides must be swapped because the
motor runs in the "wrong" direction.
• Connect the encoder according to the instructions on page 15, "Connecting an encoder".
• Specify that the encoder is used for motor 1 by setting L001 to 1, specify the position of the motor 1 in channel
L110 – 1 is left and 2 is right.
• If two motor winders are used, activate the encoder for motor 2 in channel L002 by setting it to one 1, specify the
position of motor 2 in channel L120 – 1 is left and 2 is right.
• After setting the encoder position and activating it, run the motor (hold-to-run) to the closed position, then read
channel L111 for motor 1 and make a note of the value. If two motor winders are used, also read channel L121 and
make a note of the value. is value must always decrease when closing and increase when opening.
