Real carriage door & sliding hardware Franklin autoswing User manual

Franklin Autoswing

Installation Manual

It is recommended that you have a low voltage electrician,

or trade member familiar with gate installations to install the

operator. You may call us or the manufacturer to see if there

is anyone in your area familiar with the Franklin Autoswing.

Real Carriage Door & Sliding Hardware is not liable for any

damage that occurs during install, and replacements are the

sole responsibility of the installer and customer. The manu-

facturer does carry a warranty for any defects or issues that

are from manufacturing only and will have to be tested by

the manufacturer’s technical team before sending replace-

ments.

It is also a good idea to install a surge protector to avoid any

damage to the operator. The operator can be damaged by

power surges or faulty wiring.

CAUTION

All California residents must have a battery backup installed with

electronic door openers according to Senate Bill No. 969. Please call our

main line at 1-253-853-3815 for assistance or check out our website for

additional information.

Thank you for buying this product, our company is

sure that you will be more than satised with the

product’s performance. The product is supplied with

a “Warnings” leaet and an “Instruction booklet”.

These should both be read carefully as they provide

important information about safety, installation,

operation and maintenance. This product complies

with the recognized technical standards and safety

regulations.

1) GENERAL OUTLINE

The control panel is supplied by the manufacturer

with standard settings. Any alteration must be set

by means of the incorporated display programmer

or by means of UNIPRO. The Control unit

completely supports the EELINK protocol. Its main

characteristics are:

- Control of two low-voltage motors up to 40W

power

- Electronic torque setting with obstacle detection

- Limit-switch control inputs

- Separate inputs for safety devices

- Incorporated rolling-code radio receiver with

transmitter cloning

- Soft start and close

The IGEA-BT (24V) is suitable for residential use

and has been designed for swing gates and swing

doors. The drive arm, built with a special anti-

shearing shape, allows the leaves to be moved

when the controller is considerably out of place

with respect to the fulcrum of the leaves. The non-

reversible electro-mechanical motor maintains the

stop during closing and opening. The release knob

with personalized key, tted outside each operator,

makes manual operation extremely easy.

2) SAFETY

If correctly installed and used, this automation

device satises the required safety level standards.

However, it is advisable to observe some practical

rules in order to avoid accidental problems. Before

using the automation device, carefully read the

operation instructions and keep them for future

reference.

• Keep children, persons and things outside the

automation working area, particularly during

operation. An incorrect installation or improper

use of the product can cause damage to persons,

animals or things.

• Keep radio control or other control devices out of

children’s reach, in order to avoid any unintentional

automation activation.

• Do not intentionally oppose the leaf movement.

• BFT and Real Carriage Door & Sliding Hardware

declines all responsibility for any consequences

resulting from failure to observe Good Technical

Practice when constructing closing structures (door,

might occur during use.

• The installation must comply with the provisions

set out by the following directives: 89/336/

CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and subsequent

amendments.

• Do not attempt to open the gate/door by hand, if

the actuator has not been released by means of the

appropriate release knob.

• Do not modify the automation components.

• In case of malfunction, disconnect the power

supply, activate the emergency release to gain

access to the actuator and request the assistance

of a qualied technician (installer).

• Before proceeding to any external cleaning

operation, disconnect the main powers supply and

at least one of the battery pole, if tted.

• Check that grounding is carried out correctly:

connect all metal parts for closure (doors, gates

etc.) and all system components provided with an

earth terminal.

• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges

etc.) which are needed to protect the area from

any danger caused by squashing, conveying and

shearing, according to and in compliance with the

applicable directives and technical standards.

• Keep the photocell optical components and

luminous signal indication devices clean. Check

that the photocells are not obscured by branches or

shrubs.

• For any direct assistance to the automation

system, request the assistance of a qualied

technician (installer).

• Have qualied personnel check the automation

system once a year.

• Entrance is reserved for vehicles, provide a

separate entrance for pedestrians.

3) SCRAPPING

Warning: This operation should only be carried out

by qualied personnel. Materials must be disposed

of in conformity with the current regulations. In case

of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail

any particular risks or danger. In case of materials

to be recycled, these should be sorted out by type

(electrical components, copper, aluminum, plastic

etc.).

4) DISMANTLING

Warning: This operation should only be carried out

by qualied personnel. When the control unit is

disassembled to be reassembled on another site,

proceed as follows:

• Disconnect the power supply and the entire

electrical installation.

• This motor positioning is for outswing doors

only

1. Remove the cover from the motor and set aside

2. Remove the motor from the base plate by

loosening the 4 bolts on the bottom of the motor

3. Position the base plate (note that body of the

motor should extend toward the side jamb) about 7”

from the edge of the door*

• Level the plate and mark the locations of the

holes.

• TIP: For most applications, centering the

bottom row of holes on the jamb makes for the

most secure installation.

NOTE: See page 37 for arched door applications.

4. Level and mount the plate with minimum 3/8” x

4” lag bolts (not supplied)

• For proper arm clearance, the bottom of the

plate must not be higher than the lowest part of

the jamb

• Always make certain that the lag bolts

penetrate solid header and/or blocking material

5. Re-attach the motor to the base plate and tighten

securely. Be sure that the motor is seated properly

in its plastic housing

6. Assemble the articulated lever arm and door

coupling as shown in g. 1.

• Connect

straight

arm and door

coupling

to curved

arm using

plastic

sleeve (K)

and washer

(L)

• Secure

together with

rolled pin (M).

The dashed arm

indicates the

setup for the right

motor (viewed from

Autoset Programming

for Quick Setup

The Franklin Autoswing comes “out of the box”

with preprogrammed defaults that allow the unit

to function with just a small amount of initial setup

programming.

Troubleshooting

Motors are not operating correctly

If the motors are trying to pull in instead of out, the

wrong door is opening rst, doors close instead of

open when photo eyes are interrupted or any other

incorrect sequence there is a problem with the

motor wiring or programming. Call 1-253-853-3815

for additional assistance.

Note: If you have an astragal watch carefully to

make sure it does not bind and break. Stand by the

outlet plug in case you need to stop the motors

immediately.

• Check your motor wiring (diagram on page 12)

make sure motor 1 is wired into 10, 11, and 42.

Incorrect motor wiring may cause the wrong

door to open or incorrect polarity (10 and 11 or

14 and 15)

• Try switching from INT to EXT. This will help

also if the wrong door is opening rst (because

system is operating opposite) or potentially

doors trying to move inward into the jamb

Diagnosing the Issue

If the control board says O.O. when the motors

are actually closed, this means the system is

backwards. Switch the polarity of the motors (these

are the power wires (10 and 11 for motor 1 and then

14 and 15 for motor 2)

From there nd the correct program setting, this will

be either INT or EXT during your Autoset, and you

might need to try both.

Note: You know your doors are properly setup after

you nish the AUTOSET, the doors rest in the closed

position and the screen display reads “c.c..” and the

correct door (motor 1) is opening rst and closing

last.

Default/Factory Setting

• If you ever need to revert to factory settings and

start programming over again, please go into

the menu on your control board press the plus

or minus button until it reads default and then

press the OK button.
