Slight combines an electronic control centre with a nger joint. Electrical con-
nections with external devices are simplied thanks to use of the “BlueBUS”, a
technique permitting connection of multiple devices with only 2 wires.
If powered from the grid, Slight can host a buffer battery (mod. PS124, optional
accessory) which permits the automation mechanism to continue to perform
a number of manoeuvres even in the event of a black-out. In the event of a
black-out, it is still possible to move the gate by releasing the gearmotor using
the key provided (see paragraph 3.7); or you may use the optional accessory:
the PS124 buffer battery that permits a number of manoeuvres even in the
absence of grid power.
The automation mechanism permits installation of various accessories to add
functions and improve security.

3.1-Testspriortoinstallation
Caution!-TheinstallationofSLIGHTmustbecarriedoutbyqualied
personnelincompliancewithcurrentlegislation,standardsandregula-
tions,andthedirectionsprovidedinthismanual.
Before proceeding with the installation of SLIGHT you need to make these
checks:
• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for use and
that they conform to the standards currently in force.
• Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf fall within the specied
operating limits provided in chapter “3.2 Operating limits”.
• Check that the force required to start the movement of the leaf is less than
half the “maximum torque”, and that the force required to keep the leaf in
movement is less than half the “nominal torque”. Compare the resulting val-
ues with those specied in Chapter “8 Technical Characteristics”.The manu-
facturers recommend a 50% margin on the force, as unfavourable climatic
conditions may cause an increase in the friction.
• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or closing
phases of the gate leaves.
• Check that there is no risk of derailment or that the leaves may come off their
guides.
• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough and that there is no
risk of deformation even if the leaf hits the mechanical stop violently.
• Make sure that the gate section is balanced, i.e. it must not move if left still in
any position.
• Make sure that the area where the gearmotor is xed is not subject to ood-
ing; iff necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the ground.
• Make sure that the installation area enables the release of the gearmotor and
that it is safe and easy to release it manually.
• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices are protected
from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are sufciently sturdy.
• Components must never be immersed in water or other liquids.
• Keep SLIGHT away from heat sources and open ames; from acid, saline
or potentially explosive atmospheres; this could damage SLIGHT and cause
malfunctions or dangerous situations.
• If there is an access door in the leaf, or within the range of movement of the
gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel and, if necessary,
provide an appropriate interblock system.
• Connect the control unit to an electricity supply with a safety earth system.
• Connect the gate to the protective earth in accordance with current legislation.
• Provide a device on the electricity supply line that ensures complete dis-
connection of the automation mechanism from the grid. The disconnection
device must have contacts with an opening distance large enough to per-
mit complete disconnection under the conditions sanctioned by overvoltage
category III, in accordance with installation regulations. The device ensures
quick, safe disconnection from the power supply if needed, and must there-
fore be positioned in view of the automation mechanism. If, on the other
hand, it is located in a position which is not visible, there must be a system
for preventing accidental or unauthorized reconnection with the power grid to
prevent this risk. The disconnection device is not supplied with the product.
3.2-Operatinglimits
Information on the performance of products in the SLIGHT range are supplied
in the chapter on “Technical Characteristics” and this is the only information
needed to determine whether the products are suitable for the intended appli-
cation.
The structural characteristics of SLIGHT make it suitable for use on sliding
leaves in conformity with the limits indicated in tables 1 and 2.
The effective suitability SLIGHT to automate a particular sliding gate depends
on the friction as well as other correlated factors, such as ice, that could inter-
fere with the movement of the leaf.
For an effective control it is absolutely vital to measure the force necessary to
move the leaf throughout its entire run and ensure that this is less than half
of the “nominal torque” indicated in chapter 8 “Technical characteristics” (a
50% margin on the force is recommended, as unfavourable climatic conditions
may cause an increase in the friction); furthermore, it is necessary to take into
consideration the data indicated in tables 1 and 2 to establish the number of
cycles/hour, consecutive cycles and maximum speed allowed.
The length of the leaf makes it possible to determine both the maximum num-
ber of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, while the weight makes it pos-
sible to determine the reduction percentage of the cycles and the maximum
speed allowed. For example if the leaf is 5 m long it will be possible to have
23 cycles/hour and 11 consecutive cycles. However, if the leaf weighs 350
kg, they must be reduced to 50%, resulting in 11 cycles/hour and 5 consecu-
tive cycles, while the maximum speed allowed is V5: “very fast”. The control
unit has a limiting device which prevents the risk of overheating based on the
load of the motor and duration of the cycles. This device triggers when the
maximum limit is exceeded. The manoeuvre limiting device also measures the
ambient temperature reducing the manoeuvre further when the temperature is
particularly high.

3.2.1-Productdurability
Durability is the average economic life span of the product. The value of the life
span is strongly inuenced by the intensity of the manoeuvres, i.e. the sum of all
factors that contribute to product wear, see Table3.
To estimate the life span of your automated device, proceed as follows:
01. Add the values of the items in Table3 regarding the system conditions;
02. In Graph1 from the value obtained above, trace a vertical line until it inter-
sects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it intersects the
line of the “manoeuvre cycles”. The obtained value is the estimated life
span of your product.
The lifetime values specied in the graph are only obtainable if the maintenance
schedule is strictly observed (see chapter “Maintenance schedule”). The esti-
mation of durability is made on the basis of design calculations and the results
of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estimation, it does not repre-
sent any form of guarantee on the effective life span of the product.
Exampleofdurabilitycalculation:automationofagatewithadoor4.5m
longwithaweightof250kg,installednearthesea:
Table 3 shows the “severity index” for this type of installation: 10% (“Door length”),
15% (“Door weight”) and 15% (“Presence of dust, sand or salt”).
These indicators must be added together to obtain the overall severity index, which is
in this case 40%. With the value identied (40%), look at the horizontal axis of Graph
1 (“severity index”), and identify the value corresponding to the number of “manoeu-
vre cycles” our product will be able to perform in its life span, about 105,000 cycles.

3.5-Installationofthegearmotor
WARNINGS
•Incorrectinstallationmaycauseseriousphysicalinjurytothose
workingonorusingthesystem.
•Beforestartingautomationassembly,makethepreliminarychecks
asdescribedinparagraphs3.1and3.2.
If the surface it is to rest on already exists, the gear motor must be mounted
directly onto that surface using appropriate means, e.g. expansion bolts. Oth-
erwise, in order to mount the gear motor:
01. Dig an adequately-sized foundation hole, using
as a reference the values indicated in g.3;
02. Prepare one or two tubes for the passage of the electricity cables as in g.
4;
03. Assemble the two anchoring devices onto the foundation plate, placing
one nut under and one over the plate; the bolt must be tightened as in g.
5so that the threaded part emerges about 25-35 mm above the plate;
04. Pour in the concrete and before it starts to set, place the foundation plate
at the levels indicated in Figure 3; make sure that it is parallel to the leaf and
perfectly level, g.6. Wait for the concrete to set fully;
05. Remove the 2 nuts above the plate;
06. Before proceeding with installation, you should position the door halfway
along its travel and then anchor the gear motor to the foundation plate.
This ensures that the mechanical limit switches are adjusted automatically
(Paragraph 3.6) and then rest the gear motor on it.
07. Make sure that the gear motor is perfectly parallel with the the leaf and then
tighten the 2 nuts and washers as shown in g.7;
08. At this point, if there is already a rack, adjust the mechanical limit switches
as described in paragraph 3.6.
If the rack is to be installed, proceed as follows:
a) Release the gear motor as shown in the paragraph 3.7- g.11.
b) Position the leaf in a closing position, leaving it at least 50cm from the limit
switch stop. Rest the rst part of the rack against the pinion and make sure
that the start of the rack corresponds to the start of the leaf as in g.8.
Make sure that there is some play of about 1-2 mm between the pinion and
the rack, and then x the rack to the leaf using appropriate means.
Inordertoavoidtheweightoftheleafbearingonthegearmotor,it
isimportantthatthereissomeplayofabout1-2mmbetweenthe
rackandthepinionasing.9.
c) Slide the leaf and always use the pinion as a reference to x the other
elements of the rack.
d) Cut the last part of the rack for the surplus part.
e) Try to open and close the leaf a number of times and check that the
rack moves in line on the pinion with a maximum misalignment of 5 mm
and that the play of 1-2 mm between the pinion and the rack is observed
throughout the length.
f) Briskly tighten the xing nuts of the gear motor, making sure that it is
rmly xed to the ground; cover the xing nuts with the special tops as in
Figure 10.
3.6-Adjustingthemechanicallimitswitches
01. Release the gear motor with the key provided (g. 11 - paragraph 3.7);
02. Then manually perform a complete Opening and Closing manoeuvre to
permit automatic adjustment of the mechanical limit switches. Important
– During this manoeuvre, check that the rack runs in alignment with the
pinion, with a maximum misalignment of 5 mm, and that there is a play of
1-2 mm between pinion and rack along its entire length (g.9);
03. Lastly, manually position the leaf halfway along its travel and lock the gear
motor in place with the key provided (paragraph 3.7).
3.7- Manuallyreleasingandlockingthegearmotor
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical release which allows you to open
and close the gate by hand in case of power failure, malfunction or during
installation.
RELEASE:
01. Insert the release key and turn it clockwise (g.11);
02. You can now move the gate by hand.
LOCK:
01. Insert the key and turn it counterclockwise.

the aerial cable to the other cables.
To connect up 2 motors on opposite leaves, refer to paragraph “9.1.5 SLIGHT
in Slave mode”.
4.1-Descriptionoftheelectricalconnections
•FLASH = output for one or two “LUCYB” or similar type ashing lights with
single 12V maximum 21W bulb.
• S.C.A. = “Open Gate Light” output; a 24V (max. 4W) signal light can be con-
nected. It can also be programmed for other functions; see paragraph “8.4
Level two functions”.
• BLUEBUS = compatible devices can be connected up to this terminal.They
are connected in parallel using two conductors only, through which both the
electricity supply and the communication signals travel. For more useful infor-
mation about BlueBUS see also paragraph “9.1.1 BlueBUS”.
• STOP = input for the devices which block or that may stop a manoeuvre
in progress. Contacts like “Normally Closed”, “Normally Open” or constant
resistance devices can be connected up using special procedures on the
input. For more useful information about STOP see also Paragraph “9.1.2
STOP input”.
• STEP-BY-STEP = input for devices which control Step-by-Step movement.
It is possible to connect contacts of the “Normally Open” type to this input.
• OPEN = input for devices which control only the opening movement. It is
possible to connect contacts of the “Normally Open” type to this input.
• CLOSE = input for devices which control only the closing movement. It is
possible to connect contacts of the “Normally Open” type to this input.
• AERIAL = connection input for the radio receiver aerial (the aerial is incorpo-
rated in LUCY B).

Slight has an integrated ashing card which can be connected to the Flash or
S.C.A. output on the control unit. In order to program these functions, refer to
paragraph “8.5 Level 2 programming”.
The manufacturers recommend you position the leaf at approximately half trav-
el before starting the checking and start up phase of the automation. This will
ensure the leaf is free to move both during opening and closure.
6.1-Selectingthedirection
The direction of the opening manoeuvre must be chosen depending on the
position of the gear motor with respect to the leaf. If the leaf must move left
for opening, the selector must be moved towards left as shown in the Figure,
alternatively, if the leaf has to move right during opening, the selector must be
moved towards the right as shown in the Figure.
6.2- Connectingtothepowersupply
WARNING!–ConnectingSLIGHTtothepowersupplymustonlybe
performedbyqualiedandexperiencedpersonnelinpossessionof
thenecessaryrequisitesandinfullrespectofthelaws,provisionsand
standardscurrentlyinforce.
As soon as SLIGHT is energized, you should check the following:
01. Check that the BlueBUS led ashes regularly at the frequency of one ash
per second.
02. Make sure that the LEDs on the photocells ash (both on TX and RX); the
type of ashing is not important as it depends on other factors.
03. Make sure that the ashing light connected to the FLASH output and the
indicator light connected to the “Open Gate Indicator” output are off.
If the above conditions are not satised, you should immediately switch off the
power supply to the control unit and check the electrical connections more
carefully.
Please refer to chapter “10.1 Troubleshooting” for useful information on search-
ing for and diagnosing failures.
6.3- Recognitionofthedevices
After connecting up the power supply, the control unit must be made to rec-
ognise the devices connected up to the BLUEBUS and STOP inputs. Before
this phase, LEDs L1 and L2 will ash to indicate that recognition of the devices
must be carried out.
01. Press and hold keys [s]and
[Set].
02. Release the keys when LEDs L1
and L2 start to ash quickly (after
around 3s).
03. Wait a few seconds until the con-
trol unit has completed the device
recognition procedure.
04. When the recognition stage is
completed the STOP LED must
remain on, while the L1 and L2
LEDs must go off (LEDs L3 and
L4 may start ashing).
FINALCHECKSANDSTARTUP
6
The connected devices recognition stage can be repeated at any time,
even after the installation (for example, if an additional device is installed);
please see paragraph “9.1.6 Recognition of other devices” in order to per-
form a new recognition.
6.4- Recognitionofthelengthoftheleaf
After recognizing the devices, L3 and L4 LEDs start ashing; the control unit
must recognize the length of the gate. During this stage, the length of the leaf is
measured from the closing limit switch to the opening limit switch. This meas-
urement is required to calculate the deceleration points and the partial opening
point.
01. Press and hold keys [s]and
[Set]
02. Release the keys when the
manoeuvre starts (after approx. 3
s).
03. Check the manoeuvre in pro-
gress is an opening manoeuvre.
Otherwise, press the [Stop] key
and carefully check paragraph
“6.1 Selecting the direction”; then
repeat the process from point 1.
04. Wait for the control unit to fully
open the gate by reaching the
opening limit switch; the closing
manoeuvre will start immediately
afterwards.
05.Wait for the control unit to fully
close the gate.
If the above conditions are not satised, you should immediately switch off the
power supply to the control unit and check the electrical connections more care-
fully. Other useful information can be found in the chapter “10.1 Troubleshooting”.
If it is necessary to adjust limit switch positions more nely, use the 2 adjust-
ment knobs (g.15 and 16) in ther gear motor, as follows:
01. Press the sor t key on the control unit to open or close the leaf, on the
basis of the position to be dened.
02. Remove the cover that blocks the 2 adjustment knobs (g.15).
03. Identify the adjustment knob with the arrow indicating the direction of the
limit switch to be adjusted and turn it half a turn (equal to about 3 cm of
movement of the gate) g.16.
04. Next, on the control unit, press keys or key t again to open or close the
leaf to register the new position. Repeat as necessary until the leaf reaches
the desired limit switch.
WARNING! – If it is necessary to dene the position of the limit switch with
greater precision, move the leaf back a few centimetres by giving the opening
or closing commands (sor t) on the control unit and then send the command
in the direction to be checked.
Note – If you have already performed manual adjustment and need to repeat
the entire procedure, you can return the limit switches to their initial condition
by turning the 2 adjustment knobs toward the “–” sign until the microswitches
are tripped (g.16). Then repeat the entire limit switch adjustment procedure.
Important – If, at the start of the installation phase, the leaf is not in the correct
position midway along its travel when the motor is anchored in place and the
pinion is moved along the rack, it may be necessary to reduce the position of
the limit switch on one side.
In this case, if the leaf opens until it hits the retainer, without complying with
the set position, turn the adjustment knob (identied by an arrow indicating
the direction in which the door moves) toward the “-” sign until the limit switch
is tripped. After this, oversee adjustment of the unit again and use precision
adjustment if necessary.
If necessary, adjust the door length again.
6.5- Checkinggatemovements
On completion of the recognition of the length of the leaf, it is advisable to carry
out a number of manoeuvres in order to check the gate travels properly.
01.Press the [Open] key to open the gate. Check that gate opening occurs
correctly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must only slow down
when it is between 70 and 50 cm from the opening limit switch, and stop,
as a result of the limit switch, at 2-3 cm from the mechanical opening stop.
02.Press the [Close] key to close the gate. Check that gate opening occurs
correctly, without any variations in speed. The leaf must only slow down
when it is between 70 and 50 cm from the closing limit switch, and stop, as
a result of the limit switch, at 2-3 cm from the mechanical closing stop.
03. During the manoeuvre, check that the ashing light ashes at a speed of
0.5 seconds on and 0.5 seconds off. If present, also check the ashes of
the light connected to the S.C.A. terminal: slow ashes during opening,
quick ashes during closing.
04. Open and close the gate several times to make sure that there are no
points of excessive friction and that there are no defects in the assembly or
adjustments.
05.Check that the fastening of the SLIGHT gear motor, the rack and the limit
switch brackets are solid, stable and suitably resistant, also when the gate
accelerates or decelerates sharply.

This is the most important stage in the automation system installation proce-
dure in order to ensure the maximum safety levels. Testing can also be adopted
as a method of periodically checking that all the various devices in the system
are functioning correctly.
WARNING! – Testingoftheentiresystemmustbeperformedbyquali-
edandexperiencedpersonnelwhomustestablishwhichteststocon-
ductonthebasisoftherisksinvolved,andverifythecomplianceofthe

ticularwithalltheprovisionsofENstandard12445whichestablishes
thetestmethodsforautomationsystemsforgates.
7.1- Testing
Each component of the system, e.g. safety edges, photocells, emergency
stop, etc. requires a specic testing phase. We therefore recommend observ-
ing the procedures shown in the relative instruction manuals. To test SLIGHT
proceed as follows:
01. Ensure that the instructions outlined in this manual and in particular in
chapter 1 “WARNINGS” have been observed in full.
02. Release the gear motor as indicated in the paragraph “Manually releasing
and locking the gear motor” in the chapter “Instructions and Warnings for
users of the SLIGHT gear motor”.
03. Make sure you can move the door manually both during opening and clos-
ing with a force of max. 390N (40 kg approx.).
04. Lock the gearmotor.
05. Using the control or stop devices (key-operated selector switch, control
buttons or radio transmitter) test the opening, closing and stopping of the
gate and make sure that the leaves move in the intended direction.
06. Check the proper operation of all the safety devices, one by one (photo-
cells, sensitive edges, emergency stop, etc.) and check that the gate per-
forms as it should. In particular, each time a device is activated the “Blue-
BUS” LED on the control unit ashes 2 times quickly, conrming that the
control unit recognizes the event.
07. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf have
been safeguarded by limiting the impact force, the user must measure the
impact force according to the EN 12445 standard. If the adjustment of the
"speed" and control of the "motor force" are used to assist the system in
the reduction of the impact force, try to nd the adjustment that gives the
best results.
7.2- Commissioning
Commissioning can take place only after all the testing phases of the SLIGHT
and the other devices have been terminated successfully. It is not permissible
to execute partial commissioning or to enable use of the system in makeshift
conditions.
01. Prepare and store the technical documentation for the automation for at
least 10 years. This must include at least: an assembly drawing of the auto-
mation, a wiring diagram, an analysis of hazards and solutions adopted,
a manufacturer’s declaration of conformity of all the devices installed (for
SLIGHT use the annexed CE declaration of conformity); a copy of the auto-
mation system instruction manual and maintenance schedule.
02. Post a label on the door providing at least the following data: type of auto-
mation, name and address of manufacturer (person responsible for the
"commissioning"), serial number, year of manufacture and "CE" marking.
03. Post a permanent label or sign near the gate detailing the operations for the
release and manual manoeuvre.
04. Prepare the declaration of conformity of the automation system and deliver
it to the owner.
05. Prepare the "Installation instructions and warnings" of the automation sys-
tem and deliver it to the owner.
06. Prepare the maintenance schedule of the automation system and deliver it
to the owner; it must provide all instructions regarding the maintenance of
the single automation devices.
07.Before commissioning the automation system, inform the owner in writ-
ing regarding dangers and hazards that still exist (e.g. in the "Installation
instructions and warnings").

TABLE5-Level1functions(ON-OFFfunctions)
Led Function Description
L1 AutomaticClosing This function causes the door to close automatically after the programmed time has lapsed.The factory set Pause
Time is 30 seconds, but can be changed to 5, 15, 30, 45, 60, 80, 120 or 180 seconds. If the function is inactive, func-
tioning will be “semi-automatic”.
L2 CloseAfterPhoto This function enables the gate to be kept open for the necessary transit time only.In fact the “Photo” always causes an
automatic closure with a pause time of 5s (regardless of the programmed value).
The action changes depending on whether the “Automatic closing” function is active or not.
When “AutomaticClosing”isinactive: The gate always arrives to the totally open position (even if the Photo disen-
gages rst). On release of Photo, automatic closure is activated with a pause of 5s.
When “AutomaticClosing”isactive: the opening manoeuvre stops immediately after the photocells have disen-
gaged. After 5 seconds, the gate will begin to close automatically.
The “Close after photo” function is always disabled in manoeuvres interrupted by a Stop command.
If the “Close after photo” function is inactive the pause time is that which has been programmed or there is no auto-
matic closing if the function is inactive.
L3 AlwaysClose The “Always Close” function will trigger, and the gate will close if an open gate is detected when the power supply
returns. For safety reasons, the manoeuvre is preceded by 5s of ashing. If the function is inactive when the power
supply returns, the gate will remain still.
L4 Standby It is particularly useful in cases when the buffer battery is being used. If this function is active, the control unit will
switch the BLUEBUS output (and consequently the devices) and all the LEDs off one minute after the end of the
manoeuvre.The only LED which will remain on is the BLUEBUS LED which will simply ash more slowly. When a com-
mand arrives, the control unit will reset to complete functioning. If this function is inactive, there will be no reduction in
the consumption.
L5 Peak If this function is activated, the gradual acceleration at the beginning of each manoeuvre will be disconnected. It ena-
bles the peak thrust and is useful whenever static friction is high, e.g. if snow or ice are blocking the leaf. If the thrust is
inactive, the manoeuvre will start with a gradual acceleration.
L6 Pre-ashing With the pre-ashing function, a 3 second pause is added between the ashing light switching on and the beginning of
the manoeuvre in order to warn the user, in advance, of a potentially dangerous situation. If pre-ashing is inactive, the
ashing light will switch on when the manoeuvre starts.
L7 “Close”becomes
“Openpartially” By activating this function all “close” commands (“CLOSE” input or radio command “close”) activate a partial opening manoeuvre (see LED L6 on table 7).
L8 “Slave”mode
By activating this function SLIGHT becomes “Slave”: in this way it is possible to synchronise the functioning of two motors on opposite leaves where one motor functions as Master and the other as Slave; for further information see
“9.1.5 SLIGHT in “Slave” mode.
8.1- Presetfunctions
The SLIGHT control unit has a number of programmable functions.These func-
tions are pre-set by the manufacturer to a conguration which should satisfy
most automations.
8.2- Programmingkeys
The SLIGHT control unit features three keys that can be used to command the
control unit during tests and programming:
Open The “OPEN” key enables the user to command the opening of the
gate
sor to move the programming point upwards.
Stop The “STOP” key enables the user to stop the manoeuvre, if pressed
Set for if pressed for more than 5 seconds, it enables users to enter
programming
Close The “CLOSE” key enables the user to control the closing of the gate
tor move the programming point downwards
PROGRAMMING
88.3- Programming
On the SLIGHT control unit, a number of programmable functions are available.
The functions are adjusted using 3 keys on the control unit: [s][Set] [t]and
are used by means of 8 LEDs: L1….L8.
The programmable functions on SLIGHT are available on two levels:
Levelone: the functions can be adjusted in ONOFF (active or inactive) modes.
In this case, each of the LEDs L1….L8 indicates one function; if it is lit the func-
tion is active, if it is OFF, the function is not active; see Table 5.
Leveltwo: the parameters can be adjusted on a scale of values (from 1 to 8).In
this case, each of the LEDs L1….L8 indicates the set value (there are 8 pos-
sible settings). Please refer to Table 7.
During the normal functioning of SLIGHT the LEDs L1….L8 will either be on or off depending on the state of the function they represent. For example L1 will
be on if “Automatic Closing” is active.

All the parameters can be adjusted as required without any contraindication; only the adjustment of the “motor force” could require special care:
• Do not use high force values to compensate for points of abnormal friction on the leaf. Excessive force can compromise the operation of the safety system or damage the leaf.
• If the "Motor force control" is used in support of the system for impact force reduction, the force measurement procedure must be performed after each adjustment, as envisaged by standard EN 12445.
• Wear and weather conditions may affect the movement of the gate, therefore periodic force readjustments may be necessary.

9.1- Addingorremovingdevices
Devices can be added to or removed from the SLIGHT automation system at
any time. In particular, various device types can be connected to “BlueBUS”
and “STOP” input as explained in the following paragraphs.
Afteryouhaveaddedorremovedanydevices,theautomationsystem
mustgothroughtherecognitionprocessagainaccordingtothedirec-
tionscontainedinparagraph“9.1.6Recognitionofotherdevices”.
9.1.1-BlueBUS
BlueBUS technology allows you to connect compatible devices using only two
wires which carry both the power supply and the communication signals. All
the devices are connected in parallel on the 2 wires of the BlueBUS itself. It is
not necessary to observe any polarity; each device is individually recognized
because a univocal address is assigned to it during the installation. Photocells,
safety devices, control keys, signalling lights etc. can be connected to Blue-
BUS. The SLIGHT control unit recognizes all the connected devices individually
through a suitable recognition process, and can detect all the possible abnor-
malities with absolute precision. For this reason, each time a device connected
to BlueBUS is added or removed the control unit must go through the recogni-
tion process; see paragraph “9.1.6 Recognition of Other Devices”.
9.1.2-STOPinput
STOP is the input that stops movement immediately, followed by a brief reverse
of the manoeuvre. Devices with contact types Normally Open (NO), Normally
Closed (NC) or devices with a constant resistance of 8.2KΩ, such as safety
edges can be connected to this input.
During the recognition stage the control unit, like BlueBUS, recognizes the type
of device connected to the STOP input (see paragraph “9.1.6 Recognition
of Other Devices”); subsequently it commands a STOP whenever a change
occurs in the recognized status.
Multiple devices, even of different type, can be connected to the STOP input if
suitable arrangements are made.
• Any number of NO devices can be connected to each other in parallel.
• Any number of NC devices can be connected to each other in series.
• Two devices with constant 8.2KΩconstant resistance output can be con-
nected in parallel; if needed, multiple devices must be connected “in cas-
cade” with a single 8.2KΩterminal resistance.
• It is possible to combine Normally Open and Normally Closed by making 2
contacts in parallel with the warning to place an 8.2KΩresistance in series
with the Normally Closed contact (this also makes it possible to combine 3
devices: Normally Open, Normally Closed and 8.2KΩ).
IMPORTANT–IftheSTOPinputisusedtoconnectdeviceswithsafe-
tyfunctions,onlythedeviceswith8.2KΩconstantresistanceoutput
guaranteethefail-safecategory3accordingtoENstandard954-1.
9.1.3-Photocells
By means of addressing using special jumpers, the “BlueBUS” system enables
the user to make the control unit recognise the photocells and assign them with
a correct detection function. The addressing operation must be done both on
TX and RX (setting the jumpers in the same way) making sure there are no other
couples of photocells with the same address.

with the provisions contained in the photocell instruction manual.

EN
English – 11
In an automation mechanism for sliding gates with SLIGHT you may install pho-
tocells as shown in Table 9 and Fig. A.
Each time a photocell is added or removed the control unit must go through
the recognition process; see paragraph “9.1.6 Recognition of Other Devices”.
9.1.4-FT210BPhoto-sensor
The FT210B photo-sensor unites in a single device a force limiting device (type
C in accordance with the EN1245 standard) and a presence detector which
detects the presence of obstacles on an optical axis between the TX transmit-
ter and the RX receiver (type D in accordance with the EN12453 standard). The
sensitive edge status signals on the FT210B photosensor are transmitted by
means of the photocell beam, integrating the two systems in a single device.
The transmitting part is positioned on the mobile leaf and is powered by a bat-
tery thereby eliminating unsightly connection systems; the consumption of the
battery is reduced by special circuits guaranteeing a duration of up to 15 years
(see the estimation details in the product instructions).
By combining a FT210B device to a sensitive edge (TCB65 for example) the
level of security of the “main edge”, required by the EN12453 standard for all
“types of use” and “types of activation”, can be attained.
Photosensor FT210B combined with “resistive” sensitive edges (8.2 KOhm),
is safe with single faults (class 3 per EN 954-1). It is equipped with a special
anti-collision circuit to prevent interference with other detectors, even not syn-
chronised, and enables the addition of other photocells; for example in the case
of transit of heavy vehicles where a second photocell is normally positioned at
1 m from the ground.
See the FT210B instructions manual for further information concerning con-
nection and addressing methods.
9.1.5-SLIGHTin“Slave”mode
Properly programming and connecting, SLIGHT can function in “Slave” mode;
this type of function is used when 2 opposite gates need to be automated with
the synchronised movement of the two leaves. In this mode SLIGHT works as
AMaster commanding the movement, while the second SLIGHT acts as Slave,
following the commands transmitted by the Master (all SLIGHT are Masters
when leaving the factory).
To congure SLIGHT as a Slave the level one “Slave mode” must be activated
(see Table 5).
The connection between SLIGHT Master and SLIGHT Slave is made via Blue-
BUS.
ATTENTION–Inthiscasethepolarityoftheconnectionsbetweenthe
twoSLIGHTmustberespectedasillustrateding.17(theotherdevic-
esremainwithnopolarity).
To install 2 SLIGHT in the Master e Slave modes, you must follow these opera-
tions:
• Install the 2 motors as indicated in the Figure. It is not important which motor
is to function as Slave or Master; when choosing, one must consider the con-
venience of the connections and the fact that the Step-by-Step command of
the Slave only allows the Slave leaf to be opened fully.
• Connect the 2 motors as shown in g. 17.
• Select the opening direction of the 2 motors as shown in the Figure (see also
paragraph “6.1 Selecting the direction”).
• Supply power to the 2 motors.
• Programme the "Slave Mode" on the SLIGHT Slave (see Table 5).
• Perform the device recognition on the SLIGHT Slave (see paragraph “9.1.6
Recognition of the devices”).
• Perform the device recognition on the SLIGHT Master (see paragraph “9.1.6
Recognition of the devices”).
• Perform the recognition of the leaf length on the SLIGHT Master (see para-
graph “6.4 Recognition of the length of the leaf”).
When connecting 2 SLIGHT in the Master-Slave mode, pay attention that:
• All devices must be connected to the SLIGHT Master (as in Fig. 17) including
the radio receiver
• When using buffer batteries, each motor must have its own battery.
All programming performed on SLIGHT Slave are ignored (those on SLIGHT
Master override the others) except for those mentioned in Table 10.

On Slave it is possible to connect:
• A ashing light (Flash)
• An open gate light (S.C.A.)
• A sensitive edge (Stop)
• A command device (Step by Step) that controls the complete opening of
the Slave leaf only
• The Open and Close inputs are not used on the Slave
9.1.6-RecognitionofOtherDevices
Normally the recognition of the devices connected to the BlueBUS and the STOP
input takes place during the installation stage.However, if new devices are added or
old ones removed, the recognition process can be gone through again by proceed-
ing as shown in Table 11.
TABLE11 - RecognitionofOtherDevices
01. Press and hold “s” and “Set” keys;
02. Release the keys when the “L1” and “L2”LEDs start to ash quickly (after around 3s);
03. Wait a few seconds until the control unit has completed the device recognition procedure.
04. At the end of the recognition the L1 and L2 LEDs will stop ashing, the STOP LED must stay on, while the L1...L8 LEDs
will come on based on the status of the ON-OFF functions they represent.
IMPORTANT –Afteryouhaveaddedorremovedanydevices,theautomationsystemmustbetestedagainaccordingtothedirectionscon-
tainedinparagraph“7.1Testing”.

9.1.9-ConnectinguptheOviewprogrammer.
The unit has a BusT4 connector for connection of the Oview programming unit
permitting complete, rapid management of installation, maintenance and diag-
nosis of the entire automation mechanism. To access the connector, proceed
as shown in Fig.20 and connect up the connector in the housing provided.
The Oview may be connected to multiple units simultaneously (up to 5 with no
particular precautions, up to 60 with the warnings stated) and may be left con-
nected up to the unit during regular operation of the automation mechanism.
In this case, it may be used to send commands directly to the unit using the
“user” menu. You may also update Firmware. If the unit has a radio receiver
in the OXI family, you may use Oview to access the transmitter parameters
memorized in the receiver.
For more information refer to the instruction manual and the “Opera system
book” manual.

9.2-Specialfunctions
9.2.1-"Alwaysopen"function
The “Always open” function is a control unit feature which enables the user
to control an opening manoeuvre when the “Step-by-Step” command lasts
longer than 2 seconds. This is useful for connecting a timer contact to the
“Step-by-Step” terminal in order to keep the gate open for a certain length of
time, for example. This feature is valid with any kind of “Step-by-Step” input
programming, except for “Close”. Please refer to the “Step-by-Step Function”
parameter in Table 7.
9.2.2-Funzione“Muovicomunque”
In the event that one of the safety devices is not functioning properly or is out of
use, it is still possible to command and move the gate in “Man present” mode.
Please refer to the Paragraph “Control with safety devices out of order” in the
enclosure “Instructions and Warnings for users of the SLIGHT gearmotor” for
further information.
9.2.3-Maintenancenotication
WithSLIGHT the user is warned when the automation requires a mainte-
nance control. The number of manoeuvres after the warning can be selected
from 8 levels, by means of the “Maintenance warning” adjustable parameter
(see table 7).
Adjustment level 1 is “automatic” and takes into consideration the severity of
the manoeuvre, this being the force and duration of the manoeuvre, while the
other adjustments are established based on the number of manoeuvres.
The maintenance request signal is given by means of the ashing light (Flash)
or by the light connected to the S.C.A. output when programmed as a “Main-
tenance light” (see table 9).
The ashing light “Flash” and the maintenance light give the signals indicated
in table 13, based on the number of manoeuvres performed in respect to the
limits that have been programmed.
