ENGLISH
AUTOMATION SYSTEMS 620 - 640 - 642 & 624 MPS
The automation system consists of a white aluminium
beam with red reflectors and of a cataphoresis treated
steel housing with polyester finish.
The housing contains the operator, which consists of a
hydraulic power unit and two pistons. The latter actuate
the rotation of the beam by means of a rocker arm.
A spring mounted on one of the pistons balances the
beam. The housing also contains the electronic control
unit, which is fitted in a watertight container.
The system has an adjustable anti-crushing safety system,
a device that stops and locks the beam in any position,
and a convenient manual release device to be used in
the event of a power failure or malfunction.
Automation systems 620, 640 and 642 & 624 MPS have
been designed and manufactured to control the access of
vehicles. No other use is allowed.

1.1. MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE CURVE
The curve allows the maximum working time (T) to be
obtained as a function of duty cycle (F).
E.g.:The620 rapid, 640, 642R/40and 642/70 operators can
work continuously with a 100% duty cycle, because they
are equipped with a cooling fan. The 620 standard and
642 std/40 models can work continuously with a 70% duty
cycle.
To ensure good operation, keep to the field of operation
lying below the curve.

4. INSTALLATING THE SYSTEM
4.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
For safe, correct operation of the automation system,
make sure that the following requirements are met:
•During its movement the beam does not strike against
obstacles or overhead power cables.
•Thecharacteristics of the ground mustensuresufficient
support for the foundation plinth.
•There must be no pipes or electrical cables in the area
to be dug for installing the foundation plinth.
•If the housing is located in a vehicle transit area, it is a
good idea to provide protection against accidental
collisions.
•Check that the housing is provided with an efficient
earth connection.
4.2. INSTALLING THE BASE PLATE
1) Assemble the base plate, as shown in Figure. 6.
2) Prepare a foundation plinth as shown in Fig. 7 (for soft
ground).
Values are expressed in mm.

Important: The curve refers to a temperature of 24°C.
Exposure to direct sunlight can result in a reduction in duty
cycle to as low as 20%.
Calculating duty cycle
The duty cycle is the percentage of effective working time
(opening + closing) with respect to the total cycle time
(opening + closing + pause times).
It is calculated using the following formula:
Ta + Tc
%F = X 100
Ta + Tc + Tp + Ti
where:
Ta = opening time
Tc = closing time
Tp = pause time
Ti = interval between a complete cycle and the next.

STOP
This word indicates a activating device with normally
closed contact, whose activation suspends the current
status of the beam (opening, pause or closing), until
another pulse is sent.
SAFETY
This word indicates all devices (photocells, sensitive
pneumatic safety edges, magnetic coils) with normally
closed contact, which interrupt the movement of the
beam whenever there is an obstacle within their range.
PANIC
This word indicates a activating device with normally
closed contact, which is activated in an emergency and
causes the beam to open, suspending its current status
(open) until the RESET pushbutton is pressed.
PROGRAMMING THE MICROSWITCHES
NOTE: WHENEVER YOU CHANGE THE MICROSWITCH
PROGRAMMING, PRESS THE RESET PUSHBUTTON AFTERWARDS.
(*) IMPORTANT!: The R logic (remote) must be selected
only if there are two opposing barriers that work
simultaneously.(Seeparagraph"624SLAVECARD",below.)
OPERATION OF SAFETY DEVICES
In the A or E logics, it is possible to obtain two different
typesofsafetydeviceoperation,dependingonthepause
times that are selected:
- PAUSE TIMES WITH LAMP PRE-FLASHING (10-20-30-40 sec):
the closing movement is stopped, then reversed on
disengagement.
- PAUSETIMESWITHOUTLAMPPRE-FLASHING:(0-5-10-20sec):
the closing movement is reversed at once.
ALARM CONDITION
It arises in the following cases:
1) Enabling of anti-panic input.
2) Activation of safety TIME-OUT device, which interrupts
the operation of the system when operating time
exceeds 30 sec.
3) Simultaneous triggering of the two limit switches.
4) Microprocessor reading anomaly (syncro).
The alarm condition is indicated by the quick flashing
(0.25 sec) of the Warning Light LED and of the warning
light (if connected).
In this condition, all the functions of the system are
disabled. Normal operation is restored only after the
cause of the alarm has been eliminated and the RESET
pushbutton has been pressed.

5.3. ADJUSTMENT OF STROKE END DECELERATION
1) Position microswitch SW6 according to the amount of
deceleration required:
OFF: SHORT (1.5 sec).
ON: LONG (2.5 sec).
For beams up to 4 m long, a short deceleration is
recommended. For beams from 4 to 7 m, a long
deceleration is recommended.
2) Adjust the stroke limit cams by loosening the two Allen
screws, as shown in Figure 17. To increase the
deceleration angle, move the cam toward the limit
switch. To decrease the deceleration angle, move
the cam away from the limit switch.
3) Re-lock the system (see paragraph 6), and carry out a
few test cycles, in order to check whether the
positioning of the limit switches, the balancing of the
spring, and the transmitted torque are correct.
5.4 TESTING THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
Once installation is complete, affix the danger warning
adhesive on the top of the housing (Fig. 18).

8.2. BLEEDING AIR FROM THE HYDRAULIC CIRCUIT
If the beam moves in an irregular manner, this may be due
to the presence of air in the hydraulic circuit:
1) Remove the breather screw (Fig. 9).
2) Actuate the beam electrically:
- while the beam is opening, slightly loosen the bleed
screw on the piston with balance spring, then
retighten it (Fig. 1, pos. 33);
- while the beam is closing, slightly loosen the bleed
screw on the piston without balance spring, then
retighten it (Fig. 1, pos. 11).
If necessary, repeat this operation, until you obtain a
smooth beam movement.

DESCRIPTION
The 620, 640 and 642 automation systems are ideal barriers
for controlling the access of vehicles to a passageway
thatisupto7mwideandhasamedium-to-highfrequency
of transit.
Thehousingcontainstheoperator,thatconsistsofahydraulic
power unit and two pistons. The latter actuate the rotation of
the beam by means of a rocker arm. A spring mounted on
one of the pistons balances the beam.
The beam consists of a white painted aluminium bar with
red reflectors to ensure good visibility even in the dark.
Barrier operation is controlled by an electronic control unit
mounted in an enclosure which assures adequate
protection against atmospheric agents and can be fitted
inside the housing.
The normal position of the beam is closed in a horizontal
position. When the electronic control unit receives an
opening command from the remote radio control or any
other control device, it activates the hydraulic system and
causes the beam to rotate upwards by 90° to the vertical
position and thereby allow access. If automatic operation
has been selected, the beam closes automatically after
the selected pause time.
If semiautomatic operation has been selected, a second
impulse must be sent to close the beam.
An open command given while the beam is closing
causes the beam to reverse direction of movement.
A stop command (if available) stops movement at any
time.
For detailed information on barrier operation in the various
operating modes, contact the installation technician.
The barrier units have safety devices (photocells) that
prevent the beam from closing when they are darkened
by an obstacle. The 630 barrier unit is fitted as standard
with an anti-crushing safety device that limits the torque
transmitted to the beam.
The hydraulic system ensures that the beam can be
locked in any position.
Thebeamcan then beopenedmanually only by usingthe
unlocking device.
The light flashes while the beam is moving.
MANUALOPERATION
If the barrier has to be operated manually due to a power
failure or malfunction, use the unlocking device as follows.
The key provided can be triangular (standard) or
personalised (optional).
- Insertthe standard key (fig.1) or thepersonalised key (fig.
2) in the lock and turn anticlockwise by one revolution.
- Open or close the barrier manually.
RETURNING TO NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an accidental impulse from activating the
barrier,turn off the system’s electrical power supplybefore
returning to normal operation.
triangular key (standard):
- turn the key clockwise until it stops, then remove it.
personalised key (optional):
- turn the key clockwise until it stops.
- turn the key anticlockwise very slowly to the point where
it can be removed.
