Cable plan
The plan shows the site from inside the property. A duct is shown across the
road containing a 230V motor cable and a low voltage cable for safety cells and
accessories. The junction box on the right side is not needed for articulated arm
sets. Note the photocell cables W5 & W6 pass through the backs of the boxes
and piers to photocell positions. The mains supply W1 should be SWA or
ducted. Always include a draw string.
Motor cables require an earth plus 3 cores, typical rating 5A. Cable in ducts
should be waterproof. Final runs to rams must be flexible. Under-ground cables
should be ducted into the junction box.

Safety warnings
Automatic gates can be hazardous.It is the operators responsibility
of an automatic gate to be aware of, and provide adequate warning
of hazards. All users should be given a hazard awareness briefing and use r
training for the automatic gate.
This manual is written for automation engineers aware of the construction
and accident prevention rules in force. Only qualified persons may do
installation or maintenance work on this installation. Keep the gate in good
working order with regular checks on the safety devices fitted.
Operators should ensure people are clear of the gate during operation.
Children must not be allowed to play near the gate, or be allowed to
operate the gate. We recommended signs both sides of the gate to
warning of risk of injury to pedestrians. Do not permit public access to the
gate area.

Basic wiring
This simple wiring scheme is recommended initially. See
below for notes on 230V wiring. Low voltage wiring is on
standard bus scheme. It assumes an 8 core alarm cable
connects from the control panel to every safety and access
control device used. Cables can all radiate from the panel or
be wired in a chain.

This High voltage wiring requires extra pre-
cautions. There is an earth block on the left,
important for safety and for lightning
protection. The supply should be protected
by an RCD and tested for buildings part P
compliance.
W&E terminals are for a 230V lamp for a
motion warning with built in flasher or a

CONTROLLER
Remote setting
Full opening [Op] press SEL until LED G flashes,
then press remote control button.
Pedestrian open [Pe] press SEL until LED F flashes,
then press remote control button.
150 fixed or rolling code remotes can be set. See
also remotes function.
Quick setup
This is a simple setup for a functional test. Run time
is set to 30 sec default suitable for limit switch
motors. Auto-close, PSR, and photo test are
disabled. You will need 1 remote set.
1. Reset - Press SET & SEL for 2secs.
2. Phototest –Press SEL until no Leds are flashing.
Hold SET until Leds A&B are flashing
alternately. Press SEL until Led G flashes. Press
SET. Led G stays on.
3. Exit - Wait for 30 secs to exit programming.
4. Run –If possible, close gates by hand. Press
remote. The gates will start to open. After 2
secs, adjust FORZA for minimum power
required to open the gate reliably.
IMPORTANT
For safety, the PHOTOTEST is enabled
on delivery. When enabled, the function
tests devices in Fo and St before each
gate run. If the test fails, all 8 LEDs flash
3 times. Step 2 above disables the test.
Enable phototest aftersetup as required.
Timedfunctions
There are 4 timer settings.
Run times The quick setups have preset run times
for limit switches motors. Op runs for 30
secs. Pe runs for 10 secs. Menu 1D and 1C
allow run times and slow down times to be
set dynamic-ally. See page for instructions.
Pause sets the time before the gates are re-
closed. The time is set dynamically via menu
1B up to 240 secs. Setting to zero disables
auto-close. See page 4.
Shorten pause This function enabled on menu 3H
shortens the programmed Pause time to 5
secs after a car passes through the Fo
photobeam.
Interleaf delay For curved drives, motor2 may be
required to start closing after motor1. Menu
1B sets this interleaf delay dynamically in the
same way as Pause.
Terminal description
All low voltage inputs and outputs have the same
common Crepeated on 4 terminals.
[AC] Accessory supply 24Vac, 3W max. Can be set
as a switched supply for Cat2 testing.
[Lk] Electric lock terminal.
[Op] Open input. A momentary activation starts an
opening cycle. Holding the input ON keeps
the gate open by disabling auto re-close.
[Pe] Input for partially opening Motor1 for
pedestrian use. Programming can set this
input to operate the lock only.
[Fo] Photobeam input, re-opens the gates if
interrupted while gates are closing. No effect
while the gates are closing.
[St] Safety input with programmable options. The
default setting is to pause the gates while
opening then continue when cleared. On
closing, the gate stops & re-opens.Menu 2C
changes St to stop the gate then to wait for
the next input to re-start.
Function options
The controller has optional functions that need
some extraexplanation.
Lamp output is on while motors are running. There
are 2 options. Menu 3F enables lamp to also
stay on during the pause period. Menu 3G
allows a 3 sec pre-flash, or stay on 3 minutes
after closing (courtesy light), or both.
[Op] input. Menu 1H sets Op for 4 step automatic
(open-stop-close-stop). Menu 1E sets Op to
“open only” used typically with exit loops, or
on busy sites with several opening devices.
[Pe] input. Menu 3D sets Pe to release the lock on
Lk independent of the motors, eg a separate
pedestrian gates. Menu 3C sets Pe as a close
input used when Op is the open only input.
[Lk] lock has 3 function options. Menu 2D enables
an extra push at the end of the close cycle to
ensure a lock is fully latched. Menu 2E helps
release vertical bolts. It gives a short closing
pressure just before a lock pulse. Menu 2F
gives a closing pulse every 2 hours to ensure
the gate stays closed (for hydraulic openers)
Remotes. Menu 2H enables new remotes to be
learned without access to the PCB. Press
any existing remote for 10 secs, then press
the new remote button to be added.
Soft start. Menu 3E enables soft start. Power is
gently increased over the first 2 secs of run.

Board features
Connectors
The board is connected entirely thru 5 plug on
connectors on the front edge. Boards are easy to
change with all plug in blocks.
Power & lamp are on a 4 way plug. There is a
separate 3 way plug in earth block.
Motors are connected on a three way plug.
Motor plugs may be swapped over, but not
reversed. A capacitor may need to be wired
between the outer two terminals.
Controls are connected on two low voltage 6
way plugs. Button and safety inputs are 5V active
low to any common terminal. Safety inputs are
NC (normally connected).
Fuses F1 is the mains input fuse - 6.3A
F2 transformer primary –T50mA.
Receiver
The plug in receiver card set for 433MHz does
not store codes. The main processor stores up
to150 codes, fixed or rolling
Adjustments
SENSIBILITA sets the motor PSR limit (pressure
sensitive reversal). The setting is the total
permitted time motor force may exceed a force
limit set automatically during the run time
setting. Fully CCW disables PSR.
Unless soft start is enabled the first 2 secs motor
running is set to maximum power. The rest of
the run power is set by FORZA. Slow down
power is set on menu 4 as a lower proportion.
LEDs and buttons
Each input has an LED above the
terminal that is on when the input
is active (connected to common).
8 LEDs in the corner of the board
marked A-H are used with the SET
and SEL buttons
for programming.

MOTOR RUN TIME SETTINGS
‘CLIK !’ will be used to representa press of a remote control,
or a press of the board’s SET button. A remote is practical for
setting up, because you can watch the gate position closely.
For motors with limit switches, set the closed limits first. Open
limits are set by timer so open limit switches aren’t necessary.
Close the gate manually and re-engage the manual release.
Press SEL five times until E is flashing slowly, then press SET
button on the board or a programmed remote (‘CLIK’). LED ‘E’
will begin flashing rapidly. The setup sequence has begun.
1. CLIK ! to start gate leaf 1 opening. LED ‘E’ flashes
rapidly indicating fast gate movement.
2. When leaf 1 reaches the desired slow down point. CLIK
!. LED ‘E’ flashes more slowly.
3. When leaf 1 reaches the desired final open position, or
reaches the open limit switch, CLIK ! LED ‘E’ flashes
rapidly again, and gate leaf 2 begins to open.
4. When gate leaf 2 reaches the desired slow down point,
CLIK ! LED ‘E’ flashes more slowly indicating slow
running.
5. When leaf 2 reaches the desired final open position, or
reaches the open limit switch, CLIK ! Leaf 2 stops, LED
‘E’ flashes rapidly again, then gate leaf 2 starts to re-
close.
6. When leaf 2 reaches the desired closed slow down
point. CLIK !. LED ‘E’ flashes more slowly indicating
slow running.
7. When leaf 2 reaches the desired final closed position,
or reaches the closed limit switch, CLIK ! Now gate
leaf 1 begins to close. LED ‘E’ flashes rapidly again.
8. When gate leaf 1 reaches the desired slow down point,
CLIK ! LED ‘E’ flashes more slowly indicating slow
running.
9. When leaf 1 reaches the desired final closed position,
or reaches the closed limit switch, CLIK ! The gates are
now closed. LED ‘E’ stops flashing. This procedure is
complete.
If you don’t want to use the deceleration feature, press, CLIK
twice at each limit position.
For a single leaf gate on leaf 1, carry out steps 1 to 3. Then
CLIK 4 times at 1 sec intervals (steps 4 to 7). Steps 8 and 9 are
carried out as normal.
The gates are closed. LED ’E’ is
flashing slowly

Function menus
When first turned on or when either SEL or SET buttons are
pressed, the LEDs are in monitor mode. They display the main
menu states, generally ON or OFF. The LEDs are marked A to H
from the top of the board.
There are no DIP switches, on the board, instead the functions are
selected on 8 LED. There are three other menus, so most LEDs
deisplay and can set 4 parameters.
The table opposite shows the main menu functions. In monitor
mode, an LED ‘on’ indicates that function has been set. A flashing
LED indicates that function is being edited.
Main menu function setting
Functions may only be set when the gate is closed. The SEL button
is used to cycle through the functions (A to H). The appropriate
LED will flash when selected. Pause at the function to be edited,
and press the SET button to enable or disable the function.
Remote controls are set on F & G. Use the SEL button to high light
LED F or G. If the LED flashes, there are already remotes saved for
that function. If the LED is off there are no remotes saved. To
learn a remote, pressing the new remote button while the F or G
LEDs are flashing.
Delays A and B are set with two presses of the SET button. If A or
B are initially off, no delay has yet been set. Use the SEL button to
high light LED A or B. Press SET to start the timer, then after the
desired delay, press SET again to stop the timer. The time
between the two presses is stored.
Delays can be cleared by selecting the function, then pressing SET
twice in quick succession. This sets the delay to minimum, and in
the case of B disables auto-close.
Finishing or re-setting
Run When you are finished, wait for 30 secs and it will exit
programme mode. At any time, you can return to factory default
by pressing SEL and SET buttons for 5 secs.
Motor time setting C & D
Run time setting (C & D) is dealt with on a separate page. Remote
control learning is achieved by pressing the new remote button
while the F or G LEDS are flashing.
MENU 1 G&F set double leaf opening and pedestrian gate open
times. You will need to have the physical limits or limit switches
set, the motors engaged, and gates in the closed position. See
