TIMER FUNCTION: if START contact is kept closed (for instance through a timer-controlled or bistable relay), control unit
opens the gate and leaves the gate opened. The automation does not accept closing commands (neither automatic nor wired)
until START contact is reopened.
In this mode, dip switch 3 STEP is set to OFF and dip 4 AUTO to ON
If START contact is kept closed during the control unit starting after a blackout, the gate will immediately execute the start
command.

DIP SWITCHES
(Paragraph 3.1)
DIP1-2 “MOTOR”:
Set these dip switches to suit the type of motors in use for this
installation.
DIP3 “STEP” :
ON - step by step, a command will open, stop, or close the gate
OFF - setup for fully automatic, condominium ( apartment block )
DIP4 “AUTO”:
If the dip-switch is put to ON, the automatic re-closing function is
activated. The control unit automatically closes the leaves after the
time set through the “PAUSE” trimmer (see Paragraph 3.2). If the
“AUTO” dip-switch is put to OFF, the automatic re-closing function
is deactivated. To close the leaves, therefore, a command must be
given (either wired or via transmitter).
DIP5 “PHO2”:
ON - Gate will stop on opening and closing ( for photocells )
OFF - Gate will stop and retract in the opposite direction slightly (for
safety edge)
A variation of DIP 1-2 “MOTOR” and DIP 8 “FUNC” (if the
control unit is set to sliding gate) will not become effective
until a new gate travel path is programmed (Paragraph 5).

7
EN
DIP6 “HAZ”:
If the dip-switch is put to ON, the warning light is powered (terminals
1, 2) in the intermittent mode. If the “HAZ” dip switch is set to OFF,
DIP7 “FAST”:
ON - the rapid reclosing function is activated. In this mode, the
gate will close as soon as the gate photocells connected to PHO1
input are obscured and cleared without waiting for the pause time.
OFF - the rapid reclosing function is deactivated.
DIP8 “FUNC”:
SWING GATE (DIP1/2= ON ON / ON OFF/ OFF OFF)
If the “FUNC” dip switch is set to ON this activates the ram function,
which is recommended if an electric lock is installed (par. 9.5 ). This de-
livers a transient voltage peak at the start of the opening stroke and
the end of the closing stroke to overcome the resistance of the pawl.
If the “FUNC” dip switch is set to OFF the ram function is disabled.
SLIDING GATE (DIP1/2= OFF/ON)
Changing the position of the “FUNC” dip switch changes the open-
ing stroke direction. This is read only at the beginning of basic or
advanced programming of automation’s movement.
3.2 - Knob adjustment
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Knob Description
POWER Power: adjustment of motor speed and power. Turning the knob clockwise increases the motor’s power and
speed.
PAUSE Pause time before automatic gate closing. Turning the knob clockwise increases the pause time from 0 to 180
seconds. Please note: this knob is functional only when AUTO dip-switch 4 is put to ON.
DELAY This knob adjusts the delay in movement between the two gate wings. Turning the knob clockwise increases
the delay from 0 to 20 seconds.
Open delay is half of closure delay (motor 1 starts opening and motor 2 waits half delay value).
DELAY at maximum value: motor 2 waits total open of motor 1. Motor 1 waits total close of motor 2.
After adjusting the “POWER” knob, it’s necessary to programme again the gate travel. (par.5).
In normal operation, gate leaves must be offset to prevent overlapping. If the “DELAY” knob is set too low and leaf 1 arrives
before leaf 2, the control unit will automatically open the gate slightly and then close leaves in the correct order (anti-overlap-
ping mechanism).

EN
If the operator does not recognise the mechanical stops (end of the travel for swing gates) even with the OBS knob set to
its minimum, you can select the open and closed points during programming by pressing the “SET” button (or a programmed
transmitter’s button) at the end of points 5, 6 and 7. In the event of two gate leaves, use the “SET” button for both leaves.
The red ERROR LED flashes during travel and at the end of travel points. This occurs when the motor is using high
current. It is normal for the error light to flash briefly during travel. If the error light up longer than brief interval then
increase the obstacle dial and check again. ( make sure you have enough force with the obstacle adjustment so the gate will
not stop in winds.
5.2 - Programming the pedestrian (partial) opening width
This procedure allows to change the default pedestrian opening gap.
Default opening settings:
- swing gates: Motor 1 fully open
- sliding gate: 30% of the total travel
To control the pedestrian opening, it is necessary to either program a radio control button (see Paragraph 4.2) or connect a wired control
device on the “PED” contact (see Paragraph 2.2).
Prior to proceeding with this programming procedure, make sure that either basic programming or advance programming

AUX
When an electric lock is connected, enabling the ram func-
tion by setting “RAM” dip switch 8 to ON (see Paragraph 3.1)
is recommended.
TERMINALS: 3-4 “AUX” (see Paragraph 2.4).
Default setting: 12V electric lock operation.
The AUX can be set to electric lock, magnetic lock, courtesy light
(monostable or bistable). Voltage setting can be 12V o 24V.
To change the AUX setup refer to the advanced programming func-
tions of Paragraph 13:
- Selection of AUX output type (Paragraph 13.2) = set as lock or
courtesy light;
- Selection of AUX operating mode (Paragraph 13.3) = allows for
customising the contact’s operation;;
- Selection of AUX contact voltage (Paragraph 13.4) = allows for
selecting the AUX contact voltage (12V or 24V).
9.5 - Safety devices
TERMINALS: 5-6-7 (see Paragraph 2.4).
Control unit has two safety inputs available for voltage free (dry con-
tact) connection(s).
“PHO1” CLOSING PHASE SAFETY DEVICES
Terminals 5,7 allow connection of safety devices active during closing
phase. This input is normally closed (NC). For infra-red photocells
and safety edges with micro-switch contact.
The factory wire bridge connected to PHO1 must be removed when
using this input.
These devices intervene during the gate’s closing phase.
In particular:
- during the closing phase they invert the movement direction and
re-open the gate fully;
- during the opening phase they have no effect;
- with the closed gate they do not intervene;
- with the opened gate they lock closing commands.
Figures 11a, 11b and 11c show examples of King Gates “Viky30”
photocell connections.
When multiple devices are connected on this contact, they
must be series connected (see Fig. 11c).
If more photocell pairs are connected, RX and TX units of
the safety set should be cross installed (see Fig. 11c).

The control unit is designed to interface with different devices dedi-
cated to system control, system safety and other additional functions.
Below is a list of their connections and corresponding functions.
9.1 - Transformer
Standard transformer of the system (supplied and connected) is
230Vac*(primary) to 0-12-24Vac (secondary) to the control unit.
* The control unit also operates with 110V, 50/60 Hz power. In
this case, make sure to:
- a transformer with 110V primary voltage;
- 7A line fuse is required..
9.2 - Motors
TERMINALS: sliding = see Paragraph 2.1 / 2.2
swing = see Paragraph 2.1 / 2.2
In case of a single motor (sliding or swing), connect it to MOTOR 1
terminal.
The maximum connectable load is 70W (max3A) per motor.
9.3 - Warning light
TERMINALS: 1-2 (see Paragraph 2.4).
The warning light is an accessory used for signalling any movement
of the gate leaf.

“PHO2” OPENING OR OPENING/CLOSING PHASE SAFETY DEVICES
It is possible to connect devices (e.g. photocells or edges) with nor-
mally closed (NC) contact to the “PHO2” input (terminal 6-7).
The factory wire bridge connected to PHO2 must be removed when
using this input.
These devices intervene while the gate is moving, according to the
setting of DIP5 (see par. 3.1).
DIP5 set to ON (operation as photocells)::
- in closing phase they continue the movement as soon the device
has been cleared
- in opening phase they continue the movement as soon the de-
vice has been cleared
- if the access is closed they inhibit the opening commands.
- if the access is open they inhibit the closing commands.
DIP5 set to OFF (operation as opening edge):
- during the closing phase they have no effect
- during the opening phase they re-close the gate fully
- with the gate closed they lock the opening commands.
- with the gate open they have no effect.
Figures 11a, 11b and 11c show examples of King Gates “Viky30”
photocell connections.
When multiple devices are connected on this contact, they
must be series connected (see Fig. 11c).
If more photocell pairs are connected, RX and TX units of
the safety set should be cross installed (see Fig. 11c).

9.6 - 24VDC accessories’ power supply
TERMINALS: 7-8 (see Paragraph 2.4).
Nominal voltage 24VDC, max. 250mA, output for powering external
accessories as photocells, radio receivers, etc.
Real voltage output can be greater then nominal value,
check the compatibility of external accessories.
9.7 - Gate open pilot light
TERMINALS: 7-9 (see Paragraph 2.4).
When photo-test (deactivated by default - see Paragraph 14.1) is not
used, it is possible to connect a gate indication light 24Vdc max 3W
to the “GSI” input (terminal 9). This light will signal the gate’s position:
gate closed: light off
gate open:
gate opening:
gate closing:
Maximum 3W/24VDC.
9.8 - Limit switches
TERMINALS:
sliding = 10-11-12 (see Paragraph 2.4).
swing = 10-11-12-13-14 (see Paragraph 2.4).
The limit switch inputs are NC dry contacts (voltage free).
These terminals must be left free if no limit switches are used to de-
9.9 - Wired commands
TERMINALS: 15-16-17-18 (see Paragraph 2.4).
Inputs for the start, stop and pedestrian wired commands can be
customised to open, stop and close (Paragraph 15.1).
They can be locked to prevent tampering with the system (Paragraph
15.2).
START CONTACT
The “START” input (terminals 15-16) is a normally open gate activa-
tion command by wire.
The activation method is set up by dip switches 3 and 4 - see Par-
agraph 3.1 .
This input is a voltage free (dry contact) only. Connecting power to
this input will void warranty.
TIMER FUNCTION: if START contact is kept closed (for in-
stance through a timer-controlled or bistable relay), control
unit opens the gate and leaves the gate opened. The auto-
mation does not accept closing commands (neither automatic
nor wired) until START contact is reopened.
In this mode, dip switch 3 STEP is set to OFF and dip 4 AUTO
to ON to ensure that the gate never remains locked open.
If multiple START contacts are connected, connect the
contacts in parallel.
If START contact is kept closed during the control unit
starting after a blackout, the gate will immediately execute the
start command.
PEDESTRIAN CONTACT (terminals 16-18)
The pedestrian “PED” input is a partial opening
gate command (for pedestrian access) by wire.
With double swing gate only MOTOR1 is opened by it.
To customise the opening width, the pedestrian programming se-
quence must be carried out (see Paragraph 5.2).
This input is a normally open and voltage free (dry contact) only.
Connecting power to this input will void warranty.
STOP CONTACT
The “STOP” input (terminals 16-17) is for immediately stopping and
locking any movement of the gate.
This input is a normally closed and voltage free (dry contact) only.
Connecting power to this input will void warranty.
To restore operation this contact must be closed.
9.10 - Antenna
TERMINALS: 19-20 (see Paragraph 2.4)
Antenna terminal for transmitter signal reception. The preconnected
wire acts as antenna.
For extending the reception range, an external antenna can be con-
If an external antenna is connected, the preconnected wire
must be disconnected.
9.11 - Back-up battery /
Energy saving
StarG8 control unit can be equipped with Back up battery or solar
power system (optional).
To connect the back up battery and charger (BATM016+BATK3) or
the solar kit (GO GREEN), see their dedicated manuals.
The back up battery is charged all times by the mains power and it
automatically powering the gate in case of power breakdown.
Note: it is recommended to use the energy saving modality when back
up battery (or the GO GREEN solar kit) is used.
See Paragraph 16.3 for activate this modality and for photocell’s en-
ergy saving connection.
(This function shuts off power to the photocells when the control unit
is in standby, thus reducing consumption and increasing battery life).
If energy saving modality is activated, the control panel’s
LEDs will only remain lit for two minutes after the last opera-
tion in order to reduce energy consumption.
