1. INTRODUCTION TO THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL
This manual provides the correct procedures and
requirements for installing E124 and maintaining it
in a safe condition.
When drafting the manual, the results of the risk
assessment conducted by FAAC S.p.A. on the entire
product life cycle have been taken into account in
orderto implementeffectiverisk reduction measures.
The following stages of the life cycle of the product
have been considered:
-Delivery/handling
-Assembly and installation
-Set-up and commissioning
-Operation
-Maintenance/troubleshooting
-Disposal at the end of the product’s life cycle
Risks arising from installation and using the product
have been taken into consideration; these include:
-Risks for the installation/maintenance technician
(technical personnel)
-Risks for the user of the automation system
-Risks to product integrity (damage)
InEurope, the automationof agate fallsunderthe Ma-
chinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the corresponding
harmonised standards. Anyone automating a gate
(neworexisting)isclassified asthe Manufacturerof the
Machine. They are therefore required by law, among
otherthings, tocarry outa risk analysis of themachine
(automatic gate in its entirety) and take protective
measures to fulfil the essential safety requirements
specified in Annex I of the Machinery Directive.
FAAC S.p.A. recommends that you always comply
with the EN 12453 standard and in particular that you
adoptthe safetycriteria anddevices indicated,without
exception, including the dead-man function.
This manual also contains general information and
guidelines,whichare purelyillustrativeand notexhau-
stive, in order to facilitate the activities carried out by
the Manufacturer of the Machine in all respects with
regardtocarryingout therisk analysis anddraftingthe
instructions foruseand maintenanceofthe machine.It
shouldbeclearlyunderstood that FAAC S.p.A.accepts
no liability for the reliability and/ or completeness of
the above instructions. As such, the manufacturer of
the machine must carry out all the activities required
by the Machinery Directive and the corresponding
harmonised standards on the basis of the actual
condition of the locations and structures where the
productE124 will be installed,prior to commissioning
themachine.These activities include the analysis ofall
therisks associated withthe machine and subsequent
implementation of all safety measures intended to
fulfil the essential safety requirements.
This manual contains references to European stan-
dards. The automation of a gate must fully comply
withany laws,standardsand regulationsapplicablein
the country where installation will take place.

can enter basic or advanced programming mode.
■BASIC PROGRAMMING
1. Press and hold down the FFbutton.
-The first function (
C
C) appears on the display,
which is displayed as long as button F remains
pressed.
2. Release the button: the display shows the value
of the function.
3. Press the ++or

button to modify, then press the
FFbutton to confirm to go to the next function.
Proceed in the same way for all the functions
(see Basic programming menu).
■ADVANCED PROGRAMMING
1. Press and hold down the FFbutton, then the ++
button as well:
-The first function (bo) appears on the display,
which is displayed as long as button F remains
pressed.
2. Release the buttons: the display shows the value
of the function.
3. Press the ++or

button to modify, then press the
FFbutton to confirm to go to the next function.
Proceed in the same way for all the functions
(see Advanced programming menu).
■EXITING PROGRAMMING MODE
LEvery modified value becomes effective immediately,
but when exiting from programming mode you have to
decide whether to save the modifications or not.
Modificationsarelostdue toTIMEOUTif nobuttonshave
been pressed for 10 minutes or if power to the board is
disconnected before they have been saved.
1. Press and hold down the FFbutton, then the
++

SETUP PROCEDURE
Carry out following (§ specific sections).
1. Checkthe STOP(IN3) and photocellterminals (IN4,
IN5): they have to be connected or bridged.
If terminal IN3 is open, it prevents the automation and the
SETUP from working.
IfterminalsIN4and/orIN5areopen,theypreventtheautoma-
tion but not the SETUP from working.
2. Connect the emergency batteries, if present and
then turn power on to the board.
3. Configure the type of automation (Basic pro-
gramming, cF) and the number of motors (Basic
programming, Mn).
4. Enable the encoders, if present (Basic program-
ming, En) and the limit switches (Basic program-
ming, FA, FC).
5. Ifan electriclockhas been installedon leaf2,enable
EL=Yin advanced programming.
6. Check the leaf movement (Basic programming,
M2, M1).
7. Carry out the SETUP procedure that includes the
registrationof BUS 2easy that areconnected (Basic
programming, tL).
8. Memorise the radio controls, if used.
9. Complete the required programming.
10.Carry out the final checks to make sure that the
automation system is working correctly with all
the devices installed.
11.Close the board enclosure.
6.1 TURN POWER ON TOTHE BOARD
Switch on the mains power supply after having con-
nected the emergency batteries, if present.
The MAIN LED lights up and the following appears
on the display:
-bo, then the FW version (e.g. 4.0), then S0
(SETUP required). If the SETUP has already been
carried out bo, appears on the display and then
the automation status (e.g. 00).
For LED and display signals see § Diagnostics.
