The control unit for the SP6000 is suitable for moving sectional doors,
up-and-over doors with counterweights and up-and-over doors with
springs; these are controlled by electromechanical actuators
powered by 24 Vdc motors.
The board uses a system for controlling the force developed by the
motor; this is done by measuring the amount of current absorbed.
This system recognises obstacles during normal movement (anti-
crush safety feature). The level of current sensitivity can be set during
the programming phase. To make it easier to recognise the various
parts of the control unit, Fig. 1a shows the main components.
1) Product description:
2.1) Preliminary checks
Before starting installation make sure that all the material is suitable
for installation and complies with legal requirements. As well as
checking all the points shown in the “Warnings for fitters”, this section
also contains a specific check list for the SP6000 gear motor.
• Check the strength and mechanical consistency of the door and
make sure safety margins and minimum distances are respected.
• The power line must be protected by an overload cut-out switch
and a residual current circuit breaker.
• Power the control unit using the plug provided with the product.
Any extension cables used should be 3 x 1.5 mm2.
• Use wires with a minimum cross section of 0.25 mm2to connect
low voltage safety circuits.
Use shielded wires if the length exceeds 30 m and connect the
earth braid at the control unit end only.
2) Installation:
Automatic gate and door systems may only be installed
by qualified fitters in the full respect of the law. Comply
with the warnings shown in the “Warnings for fitters”
chapter.

2.3) Electrical connections
To protect the fitter and avoid damaging the
components while electrical connections are being made
or the radio receiver is being connected, under no
circumstances may the unit be electrically powered.
•If the inputs of the NC (Normally Closed) contacts are not used
they should be jumped with the “24V Common” terminal (except
for the photocell inputs; for information please see the “Photo-test”
function).
•If there is more than one NC contact, they must be connected in
“series”.
•If the inputs of the NO (Normally Open) contacts are not used they
should be left free.
•If there is more than one NO contact, they must be connected in
“Parallel”.
•The contacts must be mechanical and potential-free; no stage
connections are allowed, such as those defined as "PNP", "NPN",
"Open Collector", etc..

The unit features two buttons used to programme various operating
modes so as to make the system more suitable to user needs and
safer in various conditions of use.
The control unit has two operating modes: semiautomatic and
automatic.
“Semiautomatic” Mode:
In this mode, a command impulse on the “Step-by-step” input makes
alternative opening and closing manoeuvres according to the “Open
– Stop – Close – Stop” sequence.
“Automatic” Mode:
In this mode, after an open manoeuvre, a programmed pause takes
place (by setting the pause time) after which the closing manoeuvre
is carried out.
Current sensitivity:
The control unit features a system measuring the current absorbed by
the motor and uses this to detect obstacles.
Given that the absorbed current depends on variable conditions
(weight of door, various kinds of friction, gusts of wind, voltage
variations, etc.) the cut-in threshold can be changed.
There are five levels: no. 1 is the lowest (minimum power), no. 5 is
the highest (maximum power). Initially it is set at level 3, which should
be the optimum one for most installations.
The “current sensitivity” function, suitably adjusted
(together with other vital features) allows the system to
comply with recent European standards, EN 12453 and EN
12445, which require techniques or devices to be used to
limit force and danger when automatic gates and doors are
moved.
!
2.3.4) Photo-test
The control unit of the SP6000 features the “Photo-test” function.
This is an excellent solution as regards the reliability of safety devices
and puts the control unit + safety device assembly into “category 2”
as per UNI EN 954-1 standard (ed. 12/1998). Whenever a manoeuvre
is begun, the relative safety devices are checked and only if
everything is in order will the manoeuvre start.
All this is only possible if a special configuration of the safety device
connections is used; in practice, the “TX” photocell transmitters are
powered separately from the “RX” receivers.
N.B.: when “Photo-test” is active, the photocell transmitter is only
powered during the manoeuvre.
2.3.5) Checking connections
the next operations involve work being done on live
circuits, some parts have mains voltage running through
them and are therefore EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! Pay the
greatest of attention to what you are doing and NEVER
WORK ALONE!
After making connections, the whole system must be checked.
•Power the control unit and check that the OK Led flashes rapidly for
a few seconds.
•Check that there is a voltage of 24Vac on terminals 3-4, 3-6, 3-7 and
that there is a voltage of 0Vac on terminals 3-8; if this is not the case,
unplug the unit immediately and carefully check the connections and
the voltage input.
•After the initial rapid flashing, the OK Led shows the control unit is
working correctly by flashing regularly at 1 second intervals. When
there is a variation in the inputs, the OK Led flashes rapidly twice to
show that the input has been recognised. When the photocells
detect an obstacle, the OK Led flashes rapidly twice, as it also does
when the “Stop” input is deactivated.
•Carry out a test with the door disconnected from the motor; perform
a brief opening and closing cycle and press the “Step-by-step”
button to check the mechanical parts are in working order. (The first
manoeuvre made after the unit is powered is always “Open”). At the
end of the cycle, reconnect the door to the drive trolley.
•Then position the limit switch slides as shown in Fig. 3.
Press the “Step-by-step” button and check that the door moves in the
opening direction. Press the step-by-step button when the door is 1
cm from the opening point, thereby stopping the manoeuvre; then
insert the “Open” travel stop slide on the edge of the cover. Press the
“Step-by-step” button again and check that the door moves in the
closing direction. Press the “Step-by-step” button when the door is 1
cm from the closing point, thereby stopping the manoeuvre; then insert
the “Close” travel stop slide on the edge of the cover.

1. Press and hold down the PROG button
2. Release PROG when the courtesy light has flashed the number
of times equal to the required pause.
The “pause” must be over 5 seconds, that is, 5 flashes
Table “A2” Activate the “automatic” mode (pause between 5s and 250s) Example
4.1) Programming pauses
This parameter allows the “automatic” or “semiautomatic” mode to be
selected; the “pause”, in fact, is the length of time the control unit waits
after an opening manoeuvre before activating the automatic closing
cycle.
To set the “automatic” mode, memorise the required “pause” ranging
between 5 and 250 seconds. To set the “semiautomatic” mode,
memorise a “pause” lasting less than 5 seconds.
4) Programming:
All the functions described in the “Programmable functions” chapter can
be selected by means of a programming phase which terminates by
memorising the choices made. The control unit therefore has a memory
which stores the functions and parameters relative to the automation
process.
Press “Step-by-step” and PROG on the board (see Fig. 4) to enter the
programming mode.
The motor must not be running in this mode.
3.1) Pre-set functions
The control unit of the SP6000 features some programmable functions
(see chapter 3) that are initially pre-set in a typical configuration which
satisfies most automatic systems. These are:
•Mode : “semiautomatic”
•Photo-test : deactivated
•Current sensitivity : n° 3 average
These functions can be changed at any time by carrying out a suitable
programming procedure.

4.2) Programming the amperometric level
Programming this parameter will allow you to select the amperometric
level, i.e. the maximum power that the motor can develop.
You can program one of the five levels available: 1 = minimum,
2 = low, 3 = medium, 4 = high, 5 = maximum.
The selected level corresponds to the number of flashes made
by the courtesy light. One flash corresponds to level no. 1 (minimum)
while five flashes correspond to level no. 5 (maximum)
1. Press and hold down the PROG key and wait for the courtesy light to start flashing
2. When the desired flashing occurs, press the PP key as well
3. Release the PP and PROG keys
To check which level has been programmed: disconnect the power supply to the control unit; press and hold down the PROG key; reconnect
the power supply and then release the PROG key. Count the number of flashes made by the courtesy light; they correspond to the
amperometric level.

4.3) Programming the “Photo-test” mode
To activate the “Photo-test” mode, make the connections described in
paragraph 2.3.3 “Notes on Connections” (see Figs. 6a – 6b), and not
the connections shown in Figs. 5a – 5b).
Check whether the “Photo-test” mode is activated or deactivated:
power the control unit and check how long the OK Led flashes,
•if it flashes rapidly for 2 seconds, “Photo-test” is deactivated;
•if it flashes rapidly for 4 seconds, “Photo-test” is activated.
1. Press and hold down the PROG button
2. When the OK Led remains permanently on;
press STEP-BY-STEP; the courtesy light switches on
3. Release the PROG button

5) Testing:
The automation system must be tested by qualified and
expert staff who must establish what tests to perform
according to the relative risk.
Testing is the most important part of the whole installation phase. Each
single component, e.g. motors, photocells and other safety devices, the
radio receiver and the emergency stop can require a specific test phase;
please follow the procedures shown in the respective instructions
manuals.
To test the control unit, carry out the following procedure (the sequence
refers to the control unit of the SP6000 with pre-set functions).
•After powering the control unit, check that the OK Led flashes at 1
second intervals. If this does not occur, turn power off immediately and
check the fuse.
•Check that all the safety devices of the unit are in proper working order
(emergency stop, photocells, pneumatic edges, etc.). Whenever a
device cuts in, the OK Led flashes rapidly twice to signal that the event
has been acquired.
•Now it is possible to carry out a complete cycle of the actuator. Press
the “Step-by-step” button and check that the door stops automatically
at the travel stop. Press the “Step-by-step” button again and check
that the door stops automatically at the opposite travel stop. Carry out
several manoeuvres in order to evaluate any defects of installation or
adjustment of the gear motor travel stops, as well as the presence of
any friction points. While the closing manoeuvre is being performed,
the board automatically memorises the time taken. After a complete
cycle of manoeuvres (open and close touching both travel stops) the
control unit decelerates movement during the final 3 seconds of the
closing phase.
•Now check the safety devices cut in correctly. The ones connected to
the “Photo” input have no effect during the opening manoeuvre but
they will invert movement during the closing manoeuvre. The devices
connected to the “Stop” input work during both the opening and
closing manoeuvres and stop movement in each case.
In the closing manoeuvre, the control unit reduces speed and noise
during the final phase. The point at which the reduction in speed takes
place is automatically calculated according to the duration of the previous
manoeuvres; for this reason it is necessary to carry out a few complete
manoeuvres until the speed reduction point is established (at least ten
manoeuvres should be carried out to establish the exact point in which
speed reduces).

6) Maintenance:
7) What to do if ...:
As the control unit of the SP6000 is electronic, it needs no particular
maintenance. Periodically check, however, at least twice a year, that
the whole system is in perfect working order as indicated in the
Testing chapter.
6.1) Disposal
This product is made from various types of material, some of which
can be recycled (aluminium, plastic, electric wiring). Others must be
disposed of (boards with electronic components).

This section will help fitters to solve some of the most common
problems that may arise during installation.
The OK Led doesn’t light up.
•Check that the power cable is correctly fitted in the mains power
socket.
•Check that there is 24Vac between terminals 3 and 4 of the
terminal board.
•Check that the fuse is in working order. If it has blown, replace it
with a 2A rapid fuse.
The manoeuvre does not start.
•Check that the “Stop” input is active, that is, voltage between
terminals 3 and 6 on the terminal board is equal to approx. 24Vac.
If voltage does not correspond, check that the connection to the
“Stop” input is made with a device featuring a Normally Closed
contact.
• Check that the photocells are connected to the “Photo” input as
shown in Figs. 5a – 5b if the “Photo-test” is deactivated, or as
shown in Figs. 6a – 6b if “Photo-test” is activated.
•Check that the voltage between terminals 3 and 7 is equal to
24Vac when the photocells cut in. If this is not the case, check the
photocells work correctly by following the relative instructions.
The manoeuvre does not stop when the “Stop” input
cuts in.
•Check if the connection to the “Stop” input is made with a normally
closed contact, as indicated in the “Electrical diagram” in
paragraph 2.3.1. If it is connected correctly, check that the OK Led
flashes rapidly twice when the contact is opened.
The opening manoeuvre has begun but inverts immediately
afterwards.
•The level of current sensitivity selected is too low to raise the door.
Select a higher level of force as described in paragraph 4.2
“Programming current sensitivity”.
When the manoeuvre begins, the courtesy light switches
on but then it switches off immediately and the
manoeuvre does not continue.
•The “Photo-test” mode is activated and the “Photo-test” was
unsuccessful. Check that the photocells are connected as shown
in Figs. 6a – 6b.
If the connection is correct, check the photocells work correctly by
following the relative instructions.
The flashing light doesn’t work.
•Check that voltage between terminals 1 and 2 is equal to about
24Vac during the manoeuvre. If the voltage corresponds, the
problem is caused by the flashing light that must be checked by
following the relative instructions.
