installation with menu item 0.1.
Automatic test of the pneumatic safety edge:
▪With each activation of the pre-limit switch is, the door
control tests automatically whether the pneumatic switch (4)
triggers.
▪If the door control does not receive a signal from the
pneumatic switch within 2 seconds, fault indication F 2.8.
appears.
If the safety edge is activated or if the circuit is permanently
interrupted, fault indication F 2.6. appears.
Fault indication F 2.7. appears in case of a short circuit.
