ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Note :
Depending on the voltage with which it is powered (12 or 24VAC), the control unit sets up to operate with 12 or 24
VDC motor. The UNIK1E control unit is supplied with a toroidal transformer with 12VAC secondary. The toroidal
transformer with 24VAC secondary is available on request (Prastel code TRT12-24V100VA).
If no programming is carried out, the control unit is set as follows:
•step-by-step mode with automatic closing cut out
•no slow down
•safeties enabled in closing mode
•no safeties in opening mode
•5 seconds opening for pedestrian access
•60% motor force
•1 second obstacle detection triggering
5. EASY LEARNING PROCEDURE
Once the control unit has been set up as described above, turn it off and then back on again or press the
P1/SET key on the card. Within five seconds of the control unit starting up again, as indicated by the yellow SET
LED flashing, keep the P1/ SET key pressed for one second to access “EASY LEARNING”.
The yellow SET LED stops flashing and stays on fixed to signal that “EASY LEARNING”mode has been
successfully accessed.
The easy learning routine automatically sets the following functions:
a) halfway opening for the pedestrian opening;
b) disabling of remote pedestrian opening.
1) The control unit checks for the presence of safeties
2) The control unit performs a three second pre-opening operation at the force set via the trimmer. As this
operation is underway, check that:
a) gate is actually opening otherwise RESET the control unit and switch over motor lead polarities.
b) upon completion of the foregoing repeat the learning routine from the start.
3) The control unit fully opens the gate to acquire full operating time, slowing down after having completed 90%
of the manoeuvre. The manoeuvre is completed upon gate reaching the stop and triggering obstacle
detection control.
4) After a three second pause the control unit initiates the closing operation, exiting from the automatic learning
mode upon gate being fully shut.

6. PROFESSIONAL LEARNING ROUTINE
Once the control unit has been set up as described above, turn it off and then back on again or press the
P1/SET key on the card. Within five seconds, while the yellow SET LED flashes, keep the P2/ RADIO key
pressed for one second to access “PROFESSIONAL LEARNING”.
The yellow SET LED stops flashing and stays on fixed to signal that “PROFESSIONAL LEARNING”mode has
been successfully accessed.
1) The control unit checks for the presence of safeties
2) The control unit performs a three second pre-opening operation at the force set via the trimmer. As this
operation is underway check that:
a. wing is actually OPENING otherwise RESET the control unit and switch over motor lead
polarities.
b. upon completion of the foregoing re-run the learning routine from the start.
3) The control unit fully close the access.
4) Press either key P1/SET (manual command) or P2/RADIO (radio command) on the card to cause the
control unit to fully open the gate and acquire maximum motor(s) running time(s). Control unit
automatically exits “LEARNING”mode if left idle for more than four minutes.
5) Select channel 1 or press key P1/SET upon wing reaching the point at which slow down is desired to
slow down motor. Slow down of the motor is activated upon the above command being given. Without
the foregoing procedure the slow down function is disabled. The opening operation is completed upon
limit switch or obstacle detection control triggering or at most automatically after four minutes.
6) The subsequent RADIO or manual command causes the control unit to perform a full closing operation.
After three minutes of being left idle, the control unit in any case performs the operation automatically. If
operator controlled closing is selected, program photocell Operating Logic via Radio or Manually
proceeding as follows:
a. press transmitter CHANNEL 1 key or the P1/SET key on the control unit to obscure the
photocell and cause immediate stop while closing (uninfluential when opening);
b. press transmitter CHANNEL 2 key or the P2/RADIO key on the control unit to obscure the
photocell and cause immediate stop while closing or opening and reversal or resumption,
respectively, upon obstacle being removed.
Simultaneously press keys P1/SET and P2/RADIO for one second to exit from learning mode or proceed as
follows to program Pedestrian Opening:
7) Send another RADIO or Manual command to get the control unit to open the first wing and run
pedestrian opening time count. In case of RADIO command via:
a. Channel 1 or key P1/SET, pedestrian opening may only be performed manually (EDG terminal
input)
b. Channel 2 or key P2/RADIO, pedestrian opening may also be performed via a radio command
through Channel 2 or 4 depending on whether jumper “CH-RADIO”is in or not.
8) Upon the desired aperture being reached send another RADIO or Manual command to record
pedestrian opening time. Upon completion of pedestrian opening time acquisition the control unit
causes the wing to fully close. The unit automatically exits from the learning mode and is now ready to
operate. Perform several operations and check safeties and correct function and operating time
acquisition.

7. RADIOTRANSMITTERS PROGRAMMING AND ERASING
By means of the radio receiver module integrated in the control unit you are allowed to store Stateurop radio
transmitters with dip-switches, with fixed and rolling codes.
7.1 ENTRY
•Power the unit.
•Press the “P2/RADIO”key: the red LED comes on indicating programming in progress.
•Perform a transmission by pressing any transmitter key.
•LED blinking indicates code entry in progress, upon completion of which LED becomes fixed again ready for
new code entry.
•Enter all transmitters by performing a transmission with each within no more than a ten second interval
between one and the other.
•To exit from routine at end of entry press key “P2/ RADIO”again, successful exit being indicated by LED
going off. Automatic exiting occurs in any case after ten seconds of transmitter being left idle.
•Code storage is retained even after powering out.
7.2 TOTAL CODE DELETION
•Press and keep pressed the “P2/RADIO”key until the red LED starts rapidly blinking (after about three
seconds).
•Press the “P2/RADIO”key again within six seconds to confirm deletion. Deletion is indicated by LED blinking
more rapidly.
7.3 AUTHORISATION OF NEW REMOTE “ROLLING CODE” TRANSMITTERS
An already authorised transmitter is required to authorise a new one without having to act on the receiver.
•Press and release the learning key accessible via the small aperture at the back of the transmitter, taking
care to be within the maximum reception range when performing this operation.
•Perform a transmission by pressing one of the channel keys of the transmitter to be authorised.
•Proceed as per the above steps for each transmitter to be authorised.
•Exiting occurs after ten seconds from last transmission.
•Check affirmative authorisation by performing an opening operation with each transmitter.
7.4 RADIO CHANNEL SELECTION
To select the desired radio channel which trigger operations, set jumper “CH-RADIO”as follows:
Jumper Active Radio Channel
Out Full opening: Channel 1
Partial pedestrian opening (if enabled): Channel 2
In Full opening: Channel 3
Partial pedestrian opening (if enabled): Channel 4

8. SAFETIES OPERATING LOGIC
•Photocell (PHO input)
When triggered photocell causes:
- movement reversal when closing, either immediately or upon release as programmed;
- no effect when opening;
- no effect when opening a closed gate if set for immediate reversal, otherwise a delay until it is reset;
- closing inhibition in case of open gate.
Note:The control unit is endowed with a quick closing function so that when automatic closing is
enabled the resetting of a photocell that has triggered during opening or pause immediately causes the
gate to close without the unit waiting any further for pause time to expire.
•Opening Safety (EDG input)
Safeties, such as flush or pneumatic hips, etc., and regardless of whether testable or not, may be connected to
input “EDG”.
Safety activation causes:
- no effect during closing;
- movement reversal during opening for two seconds;
- opening inhibition when access is closed;
- closing inhibition when access is open.
•Logic STOP (STP input)
Logic STOP activation causes the stop of all the functions.
To reactivate the manoeuvre it is necessary to disengage the stop and give another command.
9. CONTROL UNIT OPERATIONS
9.1 TURNING ON
Upon turning on, the unit’s yellow SET LED starts blinking for five seconds indicating LEARNING mode
accessibility for reprogramming. Commence operations once the yellow LED has gone off. Persistent red LED
indicates failure of the EEPROM memory that contains necessary radio codes and unit's operating parameters.
Under such conditions, no operation may be performed until the unit is programmed all over again or the
EEPROM card replaced.
9.2 AUTOMATIC OPERATION
Set the “PAU”trimmer cursor to an intermediate position between 0 and the second-last notch according to
desired pause time to program automatic mode.
A radio command or one given via the “STR”input causes the control unit to:
- pre-blink for one second;
- actuate the motor;
- ceasing the opening upon limit switch triggering, or upon expiry of pre-set operation time.
pre-blink for two seconds after expiry of pause time before starting to close again by:
- actuating the motor
- ceasing the closing upon limit switch triggering, or upon expiry of pre-set operation time.
Note: With manual opening contact (terminal STR) closed, the control unit doesn't perform automatic
closing, for which, the contact must be reopened.
9.3 STEP-BY-STEP OPERATION
Turn the “PAU”trimmer cursor all the way down to cut out automatic closing and program step-by-step mode.
The step-by-step sequence is OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP.
Opening and closing operations are performed as described in the foregoing sub-section.
9.4 PEDESTRIAN OPENING
A command given via the PEDESTRIAN OPENING input ("EDG" terminal) or radio (if enabled) causes the
control unit to open for 5 seconds or for the time set during the LEARNING routine (if performed).
Closing may take place either automatically (in case of the automatic closing function being enabled) or upon
giving a further manual command.
The full opening command always has priority over pedestrian opening so that a full opening command given
during pedestrian opening will cause to fully open.

9.5 OBSTACLE DETECTION
The control unit is fitted with an “OBS”trimmer for selecting obstacle detection triggering delay time. This
function is useful as it permits to overcome any critical point where there may be slight jamming or to make up
for over sensitivity (e.g. triggering caused by current fluctuations on the motor).
The obstacle detection triggering causes:
- during opening a closure for 2 seconds
- during closing a complete opening
9.6 FLASHING WARNING LIGHT
The control unit is fitted with two output terminals (LAMP) for a FEBOLIX (12VDC 2W) flashing warning light.
The light comes on one and two seconds before opening and closing, respectively.
As the lamp is powered by direct current, a light featuring an incorporated resonant circuit must be connected to
the terminals. The light continues flashing throughout the operation after which it goes off.
In case of power failure the light flashes for the first four seconds of operation start up and then goes off.
9.7 QUICK CLOSING AFTER PHOTOCELL TRIGGERING
Quick closing after photocell triggering (PHO input) may be enabled by rotating the Pause trimmer
anticlockwise, in which case the control unit will:
a) resume and complete opening if interrupted during this operation and then automatically close again after
one second;
b) automatically re-close after one second in case of the photocell having triggered during pause with access
open;
c) fully open the gate closing it again after one second if interrupted during closing.
Without photocell triggering during opening and closing operations. Pause time is that set via the “PAU”trimmer.
9.8 SLOW DOWN
Slow down reduces wing thrust against stops thus avoiding damage to wing and stops. Slow down speed is
reduced by about two thirds. If desired, slow down must be intentionally enabled during the Learning routine.
Slow down start setting stays the same in opening and closing.
9.9 EMERGENCY BATTERY
The optional 12V, 1.2Ah battery has a maximum five-full-operation range within the first 24 hours of mains
power (230VAC) failure.
10.PROGRAMMING BY GTSYSTEM
The GTSYSTEM is a stand-alone multifunction terminal used for several Stateurop products for test or function
setting. In the case of UNIK1E the GTSYSTEM allows:
•display and modification of functioning parameters
•Visualisation of operation counter
•Visualisation of board states and diagnostic settings.
