1. SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING:
YOUR RISING BARRIER TYPE BL52/BL53 COMPRISES A MECHANISM AND VARIOUS ELECTRICAL
COMPONENTS.ANY NEGLIGENCE DURING AN INTERVENTION IN THE MACHINE MAY SERIOUSLY
ENDANGER YOUR SAFETY.AS SOON AS YOU OPEN THE HOUSING,SWITCH OFF THE CIRCUIT BREAKER
(4:1)LOCATED BEHIND THE SIDE DOOR (1:2). BE CAREFUL IN HANDLING ANY INTERNAL ELEMENT
WHICH MIGHT BE UNDER POWER OR COULD BE SET IN MOTION.THE HOOD SHOULD BE REMOVED ONLY
IF YOU NEED TO REPLACE THE DRIVING SHAFT OR THE SPRING,ADJUST THE ARM BALANCE OR PROCEED
WITH THE MAINTENANCE.
WARNING: Never raise the arm brackets by means of the crank, without the boom arm fixed for
counterbalancing the spring: the arm brakets would swing violently, with serious injury
risks for the operators.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION CONCERNING HEALTH & SAFETY PROCEDURES
The introduction of a pedestrian or vehicle barrier product as manufactured by Automatic Systems places a
duty of responsibility for the safety and well-being of any user(s) or person(s) in close proximity to such
equipment. You are required therefore to observe and put in place appropriate safety measures, as deemed
necessary.
Pedestrian flow must be prohibited anywhere within a vehicle barrier passage-way, unless the movement of
the barrier system is clearly indicated, e.g. audible and/or visual signals, floor marking, notices, etc.
Access keys to any of the internal mechanisms can only be issued to authorised and qualified personnel,
aware of the relevant electrical and mechanical safety codes and regulations in force. All equipment
housing must be kept locked.
You have a legal obligation and responsibility to enforce good safety practices at all times. See also note below.
Note: In the countries of the European Union, the requirement 1.3.7.2 of the EC Machines Directive
prescribes that the pictogram for "Dangerous area* -- no entry for pedestrians" be affixed on both
sides of the equipment (* within 1 meter of the barrier arm in its closed position).
black
white
red
The installation of detection loops must be validated by qualified personnel who will determine their optimal
configuration (adapted to vehicle type and passageway).
WARNING: The risk of injury exists for people when using standard detection loops; they can incorrectly detect
trucks and (motor)bikes and close the gate on them!

2.4. General conditions of use
Your rising barrier type BL52/BL53 has been designed to operate in any kind of climatic environment,
from -35°C to +50C (thanks to heating resistance), with up to 95% of relative humidity.
2.5. Emergency operation
The following instructions are to be given to the installation supervisor.
2.5.1. Opening or closing in case of power failure
-- Insert the emergency crank handle (1:11) into the crank hole (1:10). A safety device automatically
switches off the power supply, thus eliminating any risk of accident in case the power supply
returns.
-- Turn the crank clockwise to open the barrier and counter' clockwise to close the barrier
-- When the arm is in the horizontal or vertical position, keep turning the crank to lock the barrier
mechanically.

2.5.2. In case of breakdown
The obstacle does
not move
Liquid crystal display is
off
Check the general power supply.
Check the voltage on the circuit breaker (4:1),
and check if this late is on.
Check the connection of the control wires
referring to the electrical diagram, as well as
their tightening.
Check the state of the fuses (5:1, p10) on the
electrical control board.
Check that the green LEDs are lit on the logic
control board (5:6, p10).
- If not, check the general fuses (5:1, p10).
- If so, check that the logic board is not in
programming mode (cable RJ45, plugged in
socket 5:5, p10).
Liquid crystal display is
on
Check that the red LEDs (other than the
analogue output ones) on the logic control
board are on (5:6, p10).
- If not, cut the supply voltage and remove the
control terminal blocks (5:6, p10) (on the
AS1320 and AS1321, if present). Turn the
power back on and then check whether the
red LEDs are on. If that is the case, there is
a short circuit in one of the control terminal
blocks (5:6, p10). In order to reactivate the
outputs, the logic board has to be turned on
again.
- If so, refer to the displayed breakdowns
(“PRDSTD – BL_xxx“ menu “Log”/”Close
Status”/”Open Status”).
Check the defects on the
frequency inverter
Refer to AS1320 control board manual.
The obstacle stops
during movement
OP, CL and STOP
commands have no
effect.
Opening and/or closing limit switch is defective or
badly connected.
Note: If the trouble persists after you carry out the checks above mentioned, call your local Automatic
Systems agent.

The control board is the interface between the user and the barrier, which manages all the latter’s actions,
including any possible options.
Note: Hereinafter are presented only the functions accessible in Simplified mode and sufficient for daily
use of the equipment.
For a detailed description of all the functions, their parameter setting, etc, please refer to the manual
dedicated to the board (available on request)..
Navigation in the menus of the display screen is based on a pull-down menu architecture on 3 levels:
MENUS ↔ PARAMETERS ↔ VALUES.
Moving from one level to another is achieved via the ◄ ► keys and navigation inside those levels by means of
the ▲ ▼ keys (press for a few seconds to go from the at-rest screen to another menu).
Note: the second column in the tables below provides the parameter default values as they are entered during
manufacturing of the control board.
Nevertheless, as each equipment has been specifically adjusted in our workshops, the values actually present on
the board may differ slightly.
Menus are displayed in capital
letters on the top line, starting
with the first character of the
LCD.
Hold ▲ or ▼ for a few seconds to
leave the PRDSTD screen and
access the other menus.
Only the first letter of each word in
the parameters is a capital. They are
displayed on the top line starting with
the second character of the LCD (i.e.,
there is a space in front). At the end
of the top line, the parameter unit is
displayed if there is one.
A question mark (?) preceding the
parameter indicates that it is ready to be
modified.
The current value of the parameter appears
on the second line.
A star (*) below a parameter indicates that it
is the default value (set in the factory).
To validate a modification, press the OK
key.
Store the modifications to avoid
them being lost in the event of a
power outage ("QUICK START" 
"MEMORY"  "Save")

Short Circuit
Short circuit of the control board outputs (connector blocks). The
short circuit is declared and the equipment put Out of Service
only after 3 unsuccessful reactivation tries within the 2.5
seconds following a voltage drop in the 24V power supply (this
is to avoid putting it out of service at inopportune moments, as
for example during a network changeover to an emergency
generator).
If one of the outputs short circuits, all of them become inactive
and the control board must be powered up again for the outputs
to be reactivated.

Incompatible
This message is displayed for 1 second if the selected operating mode for the sensor
is not compatible with the exploitation mode (parameter below). See the table of
incompatible modes here under.
*: Automatic closure only if the preceding opening was initiated by detection and not if presence is detected by another sensor.
Notably, if there is a power outage when the obstacle is open, the obstacle will not close automatically when the power is
brought back (a close command must be executed).
Warning: The presence sensor operating in “Open” mode may not be placed under the arm, because it is it is not secured, in
contrast to the other modes: a Lock Close command has priority for it (see the "Exploitation" parameter below) and could
cause the arm to close on a vehicle.
**: Opening is possible using the commands present on the control board's connector blocks: open command, reader command,
and Lock Open command.
***: If passage is detected while the obstacle is Locked Open, closure will take place when the Lock Open command is
deactivated.
: With regard to the underlined values, a close command must be executed to close the obstacle when it is open. The safety
function is only activated during the closing movement of the obstacle.
Note: the installation of 2 loops on PS1 and PS2 requires the use of a double detector since PS1 and PS2 are on the same
connector.
Note: 2 supplementary Presence Sensor (PS3 and PS4) are available through extended menu "SENSOR FUNCTION".
Note: the information regarding the sensor status (1/0) is always available (for each function mode) through extended menu
"OUTPUT FUNCTION".
Warning: When the power is turned on, the detectors (DP) measure the state of the loops and initialize the reference level with
regard to their environment. Hence, if a vehicle is present on the loop during activation, it will not be detected and the loop will
give the order to close (in modes 1, 2 and 3 only)!

Description
Positioning
Definition of the type of sensor used to position the obstacle.
Limit Switches
(by default)
To be selected if the open/close position of the obstacle is
determined by limit switches.
Analog. Sensor
To be selected if the position of the obstacle is determined
by an analogue sensor.
The analogue position sensor measures the distance
separating it from a spiral cam located on the shaft that
transmits the movement of the obstacle’s motor, which
means that the angular position of the obstacle is known at
all times. Also, see the Min Sensor Max parameter below.
Manual Switch
This message is displayed if it is not possible to activate the
analogue sensor, as per one of these cases:
The crank presence detector (only present on some
equipments) is engaged.
=> Remove the crank so that the motor may be engaged.
If the equipment does not have a crank presence
detector, the circuit may have been cut.
=> link the corresponding connections.
Activate Motor?
Pushing the OK key within 5 seconds launches the analogue
sensor activation procedure (see below) and the movement
of the obstacle!
The Barrier Type and Arm characteristics
must be selected BEFORE initializing the
analogue sensor. Otherwise, rough
movements of the arm can occur with risk
of injury for the personnel and the equipment.
=> Navigate through the menus by means of the upper
key ().
Search LSO…
The obstacle opens to look
for its open limit position.
The obstacle is moving
during this phase!
Search LSC…
The obstacle closes to look
for its close limit position.
Init. Passed
This is displayed if the open and closed limit values have
been recorded.
The analogue sensor is then operational.
The message disappears after 5 seconds or if the OK key is
pushed.
IMPORTANT: Save the values in MEM1 or MEM2
(MEMORY menu).
Adjust Sensor
Activation failed because the analogue sensor was not
properly positioned => adjust it (closer or further away from
the cam) so the measurement is included in the working
range (= between the min. and the max. set in the Min
Sensor Max parameter below).

Description
Value 0 Detect
Activation failed because the analogue sensor returned a
measurement of zero.
As this value is invalid, check:
the sensor’s wiring (in the sensor as well as on the
control board's connector blocks);
whether is sensor is too close to the cam;
whether the sensor is functioning: LED on the sensor is
illuminated and the value measured is displayed in the
Min Sensor Max parameter below.
Barrier Type
Definition of the equipment type; this allows the program to
automatically modify the opening and closing motor power
curves.
