Thank you for choosing a SERAI ELETTRONICA product, which we are confident will perform to your requirements.
Please be advised that you are about to fit a system classified as “a power-operated drive designed to move automatic
gates and doors in commercial or residential buildings accessed by vehicles and persons”, and, as such, the system
must be considered potentially hazardous. By law, you are responsible for rendering this equipment as “safe” as is
reasonably possible.
Installation and maintenance of equipment of this kind must therefore be carried out by skilled, qualified and trained
personnel, working in a professional manner, as provided for by law n. 37/08 and subsequent amendments and
supplements thereto. The law in question prohibits the construction of these types of systems by non-qualified
personnel.

Advice for wiring up in non-specialised environments.
1. Fit an omnipolar switch upstream of the system, choosing one with a gap of at least 3 mm between the contacts. Or,
alternatively, use a 10Amagnetothermic switch.
2. When making the connections (using any type of connector), ensure the system is disconnected from the power
supply, i.e. that the main switch is in the “open” position (“0” symbol). The control unit, in particular, must never be
connected to the power supply either during the wiring up, or when fitting any expansion cards.
3. The following cables must be used for installation of the system:
22
- for the control unit and motor power supplies: 1.5 mm section for lengths of up to 19m, 2.5 mm section for
lengths of up to 31 m,
22
- for the flashing light: 0.75 mm section for lengths of up to 3 m, 1.5 mm section for lengths of up to 19 m.
- for the low voltage and current lines (e.g. For the photocells, control buttons, electromechanical key, sensitive
22
edges and other safety devices): 0.5 mm section for lengths of up to 50 m, 0.75 mm section for lengths of up to
100 m.
4. Wire up the earth connection in compliance with legal provisions.

(CLOSURE)
Slide the gate manually until it is approximately 5 cm away from the mechanical end stop
Position the sliding plate so that it controls the microswitch actuator spring; you should hear a click as the
microswitch flips when the sliding plate passes it
CAUTION:
- To guarantee correct limit switch operation, ensure there is a distance of 30 mm (tolerance: ± 5 mm)
between the side of the motor and the sliding plate. A gap of over 35 mm may cause the gate to jam
open or closed. A gap of under 25 mm may cause breakage of the limit switch control spring.
- The end stop sliding plates must be set (taking into account inertia and changes in
temperature) so that the gate never ends up resting on the mechanical end stops during
opening and closure. If this occurs, the FLAP COULD GET BROKEN during the release
operation. Because of seasonal temperature differences, we recommend you check this in
both summer and winter.
CAUTION:
For safety reasons, an
end stop must be fitted for
both the closure and
opening movements

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
CAUTION: with the force limitation feature deactivated,
other safety devices must be adopted (e.g. sensitive edge),
which must be compliant with regulations in force.
Input for photocell active during both closure and opening: if the
photocell is obscured during opening, the gate stops moving, but starts
again as soon as the photocell is clear; if the photocell is obscured
during closure, the gate will stop moving, and then start opening again.
Force limitation activated: in the event of an impact with an obstacle,
whether during opening or closure, an encoder system detects the
impact, stops the gate and then reverses it by 10cm see Page 12.
Pre-flashing disabled: the flashing light switches on at the same time
as the gate starts opening.

3.8 OBSTACLE IMPACT CONTROL AND MOTOR FORCE ADJUSTMENT
With the SW2 microswitch 1 in the OFF status, obstacle impact is detected (during both the opening and closure
manoeuvres) by the encoder system which stops the gate moving and then reverses it by approx. 10 cm.
This control is switched off with the SW2 microswitch 1 in the ON status; in this case, other safety systems
compliant with regulations in force (e.g. sensitive edges) must be adopted. This is extremely important as THE
INSTALLER IS LIABLE FOR THE SYSTEM AND FOR ENSURING ITS OPERATION COMPLIES WITH LEGAL
PROVISIONS
The
impact force is adjusted using the VELOCITA REGIME potentiometer during the normal working phase and using
the VELOCITA RALLENTAMENTO potentiometer during the slow-down phase; the adjustments must be performed
in compliance with the regulations in force.
.
3.9 CR/42 CONTROL UNIT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
CAUTION
The considerable differences in
temperature between summer and winter
can cause differing rates of expansion in
all materials, including those used for
manufacturing our motors. That is why we
recommend you check the impact force
setting at the start of winter and summer.

3.6 BATTERIES BACKUP (OPTIONAL)
It is possible to connect inside the MERCURIO 524 A two backup batteries
(2Vdc 1,2 Ah SERAI BT/14), in order to enable the automation to work for
a short period also in case of power failure. The batteries have to be
connected in series (see Picture aside); the positive cable has to be
connected to the clamp 2 (BATTERY +) and the negative cable to the
clamp 1 (BATTERY )
3.7 MOTOR WORKING WITHOUT ENCODER
The control panel CR/42/24 has been conceived to work also without ENCODER, therefore can be used also
with other kind of motors 24Vdc. The control panel can be enabled to work without encoder acting on the micro
switches SW1 and SW2; in this case it is not necessary any programming, being the working phase between the
limit switches.

3.10 CR/42/24 CONTROL UNIT PROGRAMMING
With the control unit powered, release the gate, open it approx. 2 metres, then relock it. Press the PROG,
button once; the DL8 LED will start flashing, indicating that the control unit has entered the programming phase.
The next section deals with the CR/42/24 control unit programming.
It is important to follow the programming step by step; in the event of errors during this stage, a new programming
session must be performed, in which case the new data will replace the previous data.
To quit an incorrect programming session, switch the control unit off then on again.
Before proceeding with the programming, check that the system is equipped with all the electrical and safety devices
(buttons, photocells, flashing lights, etc.) and that they are all connected. Ensure they all operate correctly, i.e.:
All the indicator LEDs for the NC inputs (stop, photocell, limit switch) are lit;
All the indicator LEDs for the NO inputs (open/close, pedestrian) are off.
In the event of faults, ascertain and remove the cause.
CAUTION: ANY UNUSED NORMALLY CLOSED (NC) INPUTS MUST BE JUMPERED.
3.10.1 PROGRAMMING THE WORK TIMES AND IMPACT FORCE SETTING MANUALLY
The deceleration point is set by the installer and can be cut out
Press the WORK button once to start the closure manoeuvre. The sliding gate will begin the closure manoeuvre
with a starting thrust and will then decelerate and continue at a slow pace.
During slowing down, adjust the VELOCITA RALLENTAMENTO trimmer to set the force that will be applied
during deceleration (in the event of impact with an obstacle).
Once the closure manoeuvre is complete and the FCC (closure limit switch) LED is off, press the LAVORO
(Operation) button once: the gate will start opening.
During the opening manoeuvre, adjust the VELOCITA REGIME trimmer to set the force that will be applied
during il normale funzioanmento (in the event of impact with an obstacle).
Before the gate completes the opening manoeuvre, press the LAVORO (Operation) button (we recommend
doing this when it is 50 cm away from the end stop). This sets the desired deceleration start point, and the gate
will start the deceleration phase.
N.B. If you wish to deactivate deceleration during normal operation cycles, skip this step and dip4 SW1 ON.
As soon as the gate has completed the opening manoeuvre, the work cycle is acquired, as is the deceleration
point, if set. After a few seconds, the closure manoeuvre starts, and the programmed deceleration is applied.
When the gate reaches the closure limit switches (FCC LED off), the control unit automatically quits the
programming phase and switches to standard operation mode.
CAUTION: If one or more parameters are altered, programming must be repeated
from the beginning.
Page 12/16
3.10.2 GATE OPEN PAUSE TIME PROGRAMMING
With the control unit powered and the gate closed (closure limit switch FCC - LED off), press the PROG,
button once; the DL8 LED will start flashing, indicating that the card has entered the Programming phase.
Press the PAUSA (Pause) button once, keeping it pressed until the flashing light comes on; the control unit will
start the gate open pause count, which is indicated by the light flashing intermittently.
Once the desired time has lapsed, press the PAUSA (Pause) button again; the control unit will automatically
store the amount of time between the two times the PAUSA (Pause) button was pressed. It then quits the
programming phase and switches to standard operation mode. If the PAUSA (Pause) button is not pressed a
second time within 120 s, the control unit quits the programming, memorising the maximum time as 120 s.
ACTIVATING AUTOMATIC RECLOSURE (max time settable: 120 s)
With the control unit powered and the gate closed (closure limit switch FCC - LED off), press the PROG button
once; the DL8 LED will start flashing, indicating that the card has entered the programming phase.
Press the PAUSA (Pause) button and keep it pressed until the DL8 LED switches off.The control unit quits the
programming phase and switches to standard operation mode.This operation deactivates the automatic
reclosure function.

CHAPTER 4: MINI TRANSMITTER CODE LEARNING
The electronic card incorporates a 433.92 MHz 2-channel radio receiver which allows remote gate control via either
the OG/02 and OG/04 series microswitch-operated mini transmitters or the self-learning mini transmitters from the
following series: OG/62, OG/64, OG/28, OG/48, OG/52, OG/54, OG/82/1 and OG/84. Both channels are used
solely for gate control; more specifically, channel 1 of the radio receiver serves for the open/close function, while
channel 2 is used for the pedestrian function.
!CAUTION: - a mini transmitter must be programmed before it is used.
- the maximum number of codes that can be stored is 32 for the open/close control +
32 for the pedestrian control (no other combinations, e.g. 40 open/close + 24
pedestrian etc, are possible). Let's have a look at two examples of storable codes:
- example A: 32 self-learning mini transmitters from the following series: OG/62,
OG/64, OG/28, OG/48, OG/52, OG/54, OG/82/1 and OG/84 as the open/close
control (e.g. left-hand button) + 32 self-learning mini transmitters from the
following series: OG/62, OG/64, OG/28, OG/48, OG/52, OG/54, OG/82/1
and OG/84 as the pedestrian control (e.g. right-hand button)
- example B: 31 self-learning mini transmitters from the following series:
OG/62, OG/64, OG/28, OG/48, OG/52, OG/54, OG/82/1 and OG/84 as the
open/close control (e.g. left-hand button) + 1 OG/02 or OG/04 series
microswitch-operated mini transmitter as the open/close control (there is
no need to store the other OG/02 and OG/04 transmitters, simply set the
microswitches in the same sequence as the one already stored) + 31 self-
learning mini transmitters from the following series: OG/62, OG/64,
OG/28, OG/48, OG/52, OG/54, OG/82/1 and OG/84 as the pedestrian control
(e.g. the right-hand button) + 1 OG/02 or OG/04 microswitch-operated mini
transmitter as pedestrian control (there is no need to store the other OG/02
and OG/04 transmitters, simply set the microswitches in the same sequence
as the one already stored)

MODIFYING THE FACTORY-SET
CONFIGURATION TO PREVENT
UNWANTED COMMANDS
MICROSWITCH CONFIGURATION (FOR OG/02 AND OG/04 MINI TRANSMITTERS ONLY)
These instructions only apply if the OG/02 and OG/04 series microswitchoperated mini transmitters are fitted.
Before performing the code learning procedure on the receiver, the factory-set configuration of the microswitches
must be modified to prevent unwanted commands
CAUTION: before proceeding with the mini transmitter programming or clearing phase,
disconnect the antenna to prevent the receiver from acquiring other signals during these
phases which could impair automation operation. Reconnect the antenna once the procedures
are complete.
4.2 CLEARING OF STORED CODES
All the radio codes stored in the memory can be cleared by pressing the PROG and PAUSA keys AT THE SAME
TIME, and keeping them pressed until the DL8 LED switches off (approx. 10 s) without sending any radio codes
during this time. This operation clears all the codes associated to both the open/close and the pedestrian control.
OPEN/CLOSE CODE LEARNING
- With the control unit powered and the gate closed, press the PROG key once to enter the programming phase.
The DL8 LED starts flashing to indicate that the control unit is in the programming mode.
- Press the button on the mini transmitter (the left-hand one, for example) which you wish to serve as the
open/close control, and keep it pressed until the DL8 LED switches off. The control unit stores the radio code
received and automatically quits the programming phase, switching to the standard operation mode.
- Repeat the procedure if several mini transmitters need to be stored.
PEDESTRIAN CODE LEARNING
- With the control unit powered and the gate closed, press and hold down the PROG key to enter the programming
phase. The DL8 LED starts flashing to indicate that the control unit is in the programming mode.
- Keeping PROG pressed, push the button on the mini transmitter (the right-hand one, for example) which you wish
to serve as the pedestrian control, and keep the two buttons pressed until the DL8 LED switches off. The control
unit stores the radio code received and automatically quits the programming phase, switching to the standard
operation mode.
- Repeat the procedure if several mini transmitters have to be stored.

4.3 EXPANDING THE NUMBER OF MINI TRANSMITTERS
If the 32 mini transmitters storable in the built-in receiver are not sufficient, they can be increased by fitting the SOG/4A
receiver (which increases the number of mini transmitters up to 40), possibly with the addition of the SOG/2A expansion
card (which increases the number of mini transmitters up to 794).
After fitting the SOG/4A receiver, all the codes stored in the built-in receiver must be cleared and all the mini
transmitters on the new SOG/4A receiver reprogrammed (see specific instructions). The antenna must be mo-
ved from the terminals on the control unit to the terminals on the SOG/4A

In the event of a power cut, the gate can be moved manually by releasing the motor as shown above.
CAUTION: if the gate is in an intermediate position (one of the limit switches has not been pressed) when
power is restored, the next time the open command is sent, the manoeuvre will be performed in
deceleration mode for a maximum time of 300 s. If, during that time, the limit switch is still not reached, the
subsequent closure manoeuvre will be performed normally. To prevent this, the gate must be moved during
the power cut to either the fully open or the fully closed position (so that one of the limit switches is
pressed).

Release the gate manually and check that there are no
obstacles. If obstacles are found, remove them.
Repeat the “work times and impact force setting
programming” procedure, setting a greater force.
N.B. The impact control can be switched off by
positioning the SW1 microswitch 1 to ON; in this
case, other safety systems compliant with regulations
in force (e.g. sensitive edges) must be adopted. This
is extremely important as THE INSTALLER IS
LIABLE FOR THE SYSTEM AND FOR ENSURING
ITS OPERATION COMPLIES WITH LEGAL
PROVISIONS.
