01.02.99 DOL 78CT MANUAL
1. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
1.1 The documentation consists of the following
1. This manual, which is used for installation / service and should be kept in the office.
2. The enclosed user’s instructions in folded cardboard with different languages on the front and the back.
Turn the side with the required language outwards, fold the instructions and mount them under the
opening lid on DOL 78CT, so that it is easily accessible.
DOL 78CT can perform temperature-controlled emergency opening together with the DOL 36CT Cli-
mate computer in case of a power failure or technical malfunction. The emergency opening system pro-
vides optimum safety through the use of a separate circuit, own temperature sensor and manual setting of
the emergencyopening temperature.
The DOL 36CT Climate Computer units have the following auxiliary functions:
x
Automatic display of DOL 78CT’ preset emergency temperature and the Climate Computer unit set
point (= required house temperature), when the emergency temperature is changed and when switches
are made between normal operation and emergency operation.
x
Monitors the batteryvoltage in DOL 78CT.
x
Gives a warning, if the emergency temperature switch is set at a value which is too high.
x
Logs (stores) the last 20 changes and emergency temperature settings as well as the emergency open-
ing start and stop settings.
2 FUNCTIONS PAGE 3
01.02.99 DOL 78CT MANUAL
2. FUNCTIONS
DOL 78CT monitors the house temperature by means of its own temperature sensor. The function of
DOL 78CT is depending on, if we are in Side mode or Tunnel mode.
Side mode:
If the house temperature exceeds the DOL 78CT setting, the side-inlets and eventually swivel shutter initi-
ate temperature-dependent emergency opening.
“Temperature-dependent opening” means that a minor excess temperature results in slow opening, so that
excessive cooling of the house is avoided. A higher excess temperature results in faster opening, when this
is required.
DOL 78CT adjusts the temperature once every 3 minutes. If, for instance, the house temperature reaches
1 degree above the emergency temperature setting knob
, the side-inlets are opened for a few seconds
once every 3 minutes, which corresponds to 40-60 minutes for complete opening by means of the DA 75
winch motor. If the excess temperature is higher, e.g. 6 degrees above the emergency temperature setting
knob
, the side-inlets are opened for several seconds every 3 minutes, which corresponds to 6-10 min-
utes for complete opening by means of the DA 75 winch motor.
DOL 78CT’s built-in battery and charger ensure that the side-inlets also have a temperature-dependent
opening function in case of excess temperature in connection with power failure.
Tunnel mode:
The DOL 78CT will only go to emergency opening in case of power failure, or defect temperature sen-
sors.
This means when running in Tunnel mode the temperature dependent emergency opening is deactivated.
During normal operation DOL 78CT also supplies 24V DC to DOL 36CT, which cannot supply power to
manyor high-powered winch motors, such as DA 75, on their own.
2 FUNCTIONS PAGE 4
01.02.99 DOL 78CT MANUAL
2.1 Battery monitoring
The batteryvoltage and the 15Afuse
onthe charger module
is checked bylowering the charge
voltage for approx. 5 seconds once every3 minutes.
The motor current passes throughthe 7.5Afuses
ofthe connectionmodule during normaloperation.
The batterycapacityand the rest ofthe circuit canonlybe tested in“Weeklytests”. Section3.2.
2.2 Special! Extension ofthe 24V supply capacity
Ifthe totalmotor current exceeds 4.25Athe 24V supplycapacitycanbe increased bysupplementing DOL
78CT witha DOL 78MON/OFF emergencyopening unit and a DOL 78CT Extensionmodule mounted
inDOL 78M.
See fig. 4.5 InstallationofDOL 78CT extensionmodule. The module synchronizes the lowering ofthe
charge voltage inDOL78M withDOL 78CT.
Inthis wayDOL 36CT, whichconstantlymonitor the batteryvoltage, candetect ifthe overall battery
voltage is too low or ifthe 15V fuses ofbothDOL 78 chargers have blownat the same time.
The batteries ofthe two DOL 78 unitsare coupled inparalleland so are the 24V supplyunits, so the dou-
ble current fromthe batteries and the transformers is available.
LIMITATIONS: Ifonlyone ofthe 15Afuses blows, this cannotbemeasured, but bothshare the power
fromthebatteryofoneoftheDOL78 units.

3. OPERATION
3.1 Daily operation
Daily operation is also described briefly in the folded set of user’s instructions to be placed under DOL
78CT’ front lid.
18
.
The required emergency temperature, at which emergency opening must take place, is set by means of the
Temperature setting knob
at the front of DOL 78CT.
When the knob is turned, the climate computer display automatically shows the climate computer set point
(required house temperature) as well as the setting of the DOL 78CT emergency temperature switch for a
few seconds. The emergency temperature should be set approx. 4 degrees above the climate computer set
point (required house temperature).
Example:
Set point, house 25.7 oC
Î
Set point, em. open. 30 oC
If the Climate Computer unit is in batch operation, where the house temperature is automatically lowered
slightly every day, the DOL 78CT switch must be adjusted regularly in order to follow the temperature
lowering of the climate computer. If the DOL 78CT emergency temperature is not lowered so that it is
more than 6ohigher than the climate computer set point, the warning “Emergency temperature too high”
will flash in the climate computer display.
3.2 Weekly test
The emergency opening function MUST be tested at least once a week in order to ensure that it is work-
ing properly.
During the warm periods the test must be carried out early in the morning when the side-inlets are not al-
ready completely open, and the curtains are closed.
Side mode:
1. Note the setting ofthe DOL 78CT temperature setting knob
.
2. Be sure the system is in Side mode . The green lamp must be OFF !
If the green lamp is ON, then wait until the evening or morning where it gets colder, and
automatically switches from Tunnel mode to Side mode.
3. Turn the knob
below 10 degrees.
4. Check that the red and yellow lamps are lit.
5. Check that the system opens in the house.
6. Switch of the mains supply to DOL 36CT and DOL 78CT, at the external TEST switch .
7. Check that the system opens completely and that the green TEST lamp
remains on, during the
entire test sequence, indicating that the battery voltage is OK>16V.
8. Switch on the mains supply again and turn the temperature setting knob
back to its original posi-
tion.
9. Check that the system closes properly again.
Tunnel mode:
10. Go to Tunnel mode, by setting the DA 75CT Curtain Opening motor from:
AUT (automatic) to MAN (manually) and press
Ï
. Let the curtains open totally.
11. Repeat above points 6. - 9. once.
12. IMPORTANT:
Set back the DA75CT Motor to AUT (automatic) and 0.
Remember to set DOL 36CT’ clock, as it looses time during power failure.

3.3 Maintenance
The battery module must be replaced at least once every 3 years.
3.3.1 Battery capacity check
The battery capacity can be measured by performing “Weekly tests”several times until the battery can no
longer operate the motors. This is a realistic measure of how many times the battery can perform emer-
gency opening. It should be possible to open the house at least twice with only a short interval by means
of the battery when it is fully charged. A full recharge takes approx. 3 hours.

4.2.3 Notes concerning the fig. 4.8 Basic electrical diagram. Connection of climate computer
loop terminal strip
In houses with separate motors for air inlet and air outlet, air inlet motor relay terminals and air outlet
motor relay terminals must be connected to separate 24V supply systems. This ensures that one blown
7.5A fuse only paralyzes one of the motors of the house. The other motor will still be able to ventilate to a
certain degree, depending on the tightness of the house.
Motors for air inlet are designated winch motor-1 when setting the climate computer.
Motors for air outlet are designated winch motor-2 when setting the climate computer.
4.3 Limitations
The system requires 24V DC winch motors. Furthermore, the motors must be able to open at maximum
loads down to 15V DC, as the system operates on a 18V battery. Normally this poses no problem to ordi-
nary 24V DC winch motors.
The emergency opening function will not react to all forms of malfunctioning.
During hot summer periods the system may activate the emergency opening function now and then al-
though the house is already open.
