INPUTS / OUTPUTS
4 - 7 POWER SUPPLY.
The circuit has been designed to operate with a main supply of 230 V AC (+10%,-15%, 50
or 60 Hz).
The VF7 incorporates a soft-start system to control the bulk capacitors charge and prevent
short circuits.
Note: It is important that the Door Operator Module has a good earth connection.
INPUTS
The circuit can work with external voltage inputs or internal voltage input (voltage free contact).
8CLOSE SIGNAL.
This signal is used for ordering to close the door. With an external voltage input the tension
to apply could be from 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC between this input and
common (10). With an internal voltage input the tension applied is 12 V DC between this input
and Out +12 V (9).
912 VOLT.
Isolated 12 Volts output available to control the door through a voltage free contact.
Features are:
a) This supply must only be used for this purpose.
b) This contact must be isolated from any other power supply.
10 COMMON

Control Master The unit will execute the instructions directly. Example: photocell activation will cause the doors to
re-open immediately without control of the lift controller.
Slave There is no automatic reopen movements. The doors will only react to instruction given by the
main lift controller. Example: with the Reopen activated the unit will send a signal to the main lift
controller via the Reopen output (36, 37, 38). Then, the main lift controller must remove the close
signal and active the open signal.
Landing Door Automatic Operators with Clutch (automatic landing door). In this case a special movement is made for
locking and unlocking the Clutch.
Semiautomatic Operators without Clutch (Semiautomatic landing door).
Rotation
Sense
Clockwise (CW) During the opening movement the motor will rotate clockwise.
Counterclockwise

During the opening movement the motor will rotate counterclockwise.
Inputs 1 Input
The unit will be controlled by a single input. Any voltage between 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC applied
between terminals 8 & 10 will close the doors. Without input active the door remains opened. Open input is not used.
2 Inputs
The unit will be controlled by two independent inputs. Any voltage between 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC
applied between terminals 8 & 10 will cause the doors to close. And between terminals 10 & 12 will cause the doors to
open. In the absence of a signal, the doors will remain static. If both inputs are applied then the open signal has priority.

Program Control
Test Makes a door open or close cycle to verify proper operation.
Door Learning Makes a Door Learning process to set up the door.
Before doing a Door Learning a Motor Calibrations has to be done.
The door will do a close movement and then will do two complete movements to detect the clear opening. From
the information obtained the microprocessor will calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps to give the
optimum control of the doors. Once the autoadjustment has been completed the parameters are stored in non
volatile EEPROM. The autoadjustment process sets all parameters to the factory value if these are not protected.
Autoadjustment process:
1. The door will close completely in slow speed until the end to detect the 0 position.
2. The door will open slowly counting the clear opening until it reach the open mechanical stop.
3. The door will close after a short delay. From the information obtained the microprocessor will calculate the
acceleration and deceleration ramps and to give the optimum control of the doors.

• Active the Motor Calibration, to detect the electrical characteristics of the motor installed,
place the door in a middle position.To perform an optimal calibration of the motor installed the
process has to be done without charge.
Never perform calibration with the car door and landing door.

VF7
INSTALLATION PROCESS
• Program the door type, this options are located in the Programming Options menu in the VF7
Graphic Interface.
• Door model (T1, T2, T3, T4, C2, C4, C6 or C8).
• Landing door type (Semiautomatic or Automatic).
• Rotation sense (Clockwise or Counterclockwise).
• Place the door in a middle position in order to see the starting movement.
• Active the Door Learning option to start the learning cycle.
This option is located in the Programming Options menu in the VF7 Graphic Interface.
The correct steps that the door has to make are:
1. The door will close completely in slow speed until the end to detect the 0 position.
2. The door will open slowly counting the pulses from the encoder built into drive motor until
it reach the open mechanical stop. Will detect the nal position.
3. The door will close after a short delay. From the information obtained the microprocessor
will calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps and the braking torque required to
give the optimum control of the doors.
• Door Test.
• Active the Test option to open the door and verify the proper operation. Active again the
test option to close the door.
• Program the VF7 control behaviour, this options are located in the Programming Options
menu in the VF7 Graphic Interface.
• 1 Input or 2 Inputs.
• Master or Slave.
• Connect the cables coming from the lift controller.
• Connect the inputs cables (Pins 8 to 12).
• Connect the priority inputs cables (Pins 21 to 26).
• Connect the relays outputs cables that inform the lift controller (Pins 30 to 47).
POWER FAILURES
The VF7 incorporates two new security systems related to power failures:
• Anti-banging system.
When a power failure occurs while the door is opening, closing or fully open, the new anti-banging
system brakes the PM motor to perform a slow closing and avoid the door hits at closing.

VF7
POWER FAILURES
• Electronic Car Door Lock.
When a power failure occurs while the door is fully closed, the VF7 detects the voltage drop and
opens the Car Door Lock if the cabin is on the oor level.
The Electronic Car Door Lock system could be enable or disabled by software.
Note: After the power supply has been restored and the open signal is activated, the doors will open
slowly for the rst operation in order to recognize the clear opening.
In this section the modications are listed for customer knowledge in order to comply with the new lift
standard EN 81-20/50.
KINETIC ENERGY.
The average closing speed has to be limited to 10 J. To limit it is necessary to know the moving mass,
the door opening and the panels number. This parameters are programmed by default except for the
spare part. In this case the parameters have to be introduced by the VF7 programming menu. In order
to comply the standard is necessary to congure some options and parameters:
LIGHT CURTAIN.
• The light curtain is mandatory and it can be
connected to the lift controller or to the VF7
in the pin 22.
