IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR INSTALLATION
Before installing the controller:
wCheck that the gate/blind is in good
mechanical condition and properly
counterbalanced.
wRemove everything that is not neces-
sary from the environment and switch
off the AC power.
wInstall the panel at a minimum height of
1.5 m, preferably next to the door.
wUse power and motor cables of suitable
cross-section.
wPower the switchgear via a circuit
breaker/emergency switch that is
easily accessible by the user.
The European door standards EN 12453
and EN 12445 specify minimum levels of
protection and safety for industrial,
commercial, garage doors and gates. The
moving door must be prevented from
making contact with any object or limiting
the contact force (e.g. safety edge), and in
the case of automatic closing, it is neces-
sary to complement it with a presence
detector (e.g. photocell).
Check that the congured safety elements
act by means of the LED associated with
each of their inputs. The LEDs of the strips
and the FSS input will not activate if this
security has not been previously activated
in the menu (See Fig. 1).
Make sure that the safety edge is not
activated when the door is completely
closed.Once the programming of the
manoeuvre and conguration has been
completed, test the manoeuvre using the
keypad of the box or the appropriate key
input to validate that the conguration
and operation are correct.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
FOR USE
Once the mechanism has been installed
and as a precautionary measure, the user
must:
wKeep the control mechanism out of the
reach of children.
wMonitor the movement of the door,
keeping the area clear of people and
objects.
wExercise caution when operating the
door manually (unlocked) as it may
move uncontrollably due to the weight
of the door, the condition of the xings,
springs and counterweights.
If a malfunction of the system is observed,
the user should IMMEDIATELY contact the
technical support service. The mechanism
must not be used as it may cause damage.

CONFIGURATION
To facilitate the conguration and
maintenance of the panel, it has an advan-
ced menu system accessible by means of
an integrated 4-key keypad and data
presentation on a backlit LCD display that
allows the panel to be congured simply,
quickly and intuitively.
Press the BACK + ENTER keys simulta-
neously to access the conguration menu.
The LCD will light up. To move through the
menu, the panel has 4 keys which are:
BACK (exit)
ENTER (accept)
<- (back)
-> (forward)
While using the conguration menu, the
two lines of the screen are normally used;
on one of them, the symbols < and > will
appear at the ends to indicate that the
user is navigating on that line. Navigating
on the top line navigates between menus
and parameters (with the current value, if
applicable, appearing on the bottom line).
Navigating on the bottom line navigates
between the possible values of the selec-
ted parameter, shown on the top line.
Therefore, the <- / -> keys are used to
move between the elements of the current
navigation level, the ENTER key is used to
select an element or validate the selection
of a value, and the BACK key is used to
cancel the modication of a parameter
and, in general, to go backwards.
SMINN
BOX H VF20
Temporarily and depending on its use, the
installation must be subjected to a
complete operation test by qualied
personnel in order to detect any signs of
wear or deterioration.
If for any reason the panel needs to be
repaired, contact the manufacturer or the
nearest ofcial service centre.
O n c e t h e m a n o e u v r e h a s b e e n

If, due to the characteristics of the
installation, these values are not met,
additional protection elements must be
installed.

MANOEUVER PROG.
The control panel has a conguration
wizard that allows you to select the most
important parameters and start up the
control panel quickly.
To start the wizard, with the door closed,
enter the conguration menu by pressing
BACK+ENTER, the parameter GATE TYPE
will appear.
Press ENTER and use the <-/-> keys to
scroll through the options until the desired
type is selected. Press ENTER to validate.
Then press -> and MANIOB MODE will
appear.
Press ENTER to access the submenu and
use the <-/ -> keys to select the desired
mode. Press ENTER to validate. Then
press -> until the MAINTENANCE menu
appears. Press ENTER to access the
submenu. Press -> to select the OPEN
and/or CLOSE commands.
In either command, pressing ENTER will
operate the door (opening or closing) in
deadman mode at soft stop speed and
power. In this way it is checked that the
connections of the phases to the motor
are correctly made and the direction of
rotation of the motor is correct, or not, in
which case the parameter INVERT MOTOR
can be used or any 2 phases can be swap-
ped between them.
Once these steps have been carried out,
press -> until PROG MANEUVER appears on
the screen and accept by pressing ENTER.
After this, the panel will ask one by one for
the vital parameters of the conguration.
Choose the desired value for each option
with the <- and -> keys and press ENTER
to accept and continue or BACK to go

CONFIGURATION
To facilitate the conguration and
maintenance of the panel, it has an advan-
ced menu system accessible by means of
an integrated 4-key keypad and data
presentation on a backlit LCD display that
allows the panel to be congured simply,
quickly and intuitively.
Press the BACK + ENTER keys simulta-
neously to access the conguration menu.
The LCD will light up. To move through the
menu, the panel has 4 keys which are:
BACK (exit)
ENTER (accept)
<- (back)
-> (forward)
While using the conguration menu, the
two lines of the screen are normally used;
on one of them, the symbols < and > will
appear at the ends to indicate that the
user is navigating on that line. Navigating
on the top line navigates between menus
and parameters (with the current value, if
applicable, appearing on the bottom line).
Navigating on the bottom line navigates
between the possible values of the selec-
ted parameter, shown on the top line.
Therefore, the <- / -> keys are used to
move between the elements of the current
navigation level, the ENTER key is used to
select an element or validate the selection
of a value, and the BACK key is used to
cancel the modication of a parameter
and, in general, to go backwards.

Temporarily and depending on its use, the
installation must be subjected to a
complete operation test by qualied
personnel in order to detect any signs of
wear or deterioration.
If for any reason the panel needs to be
repaired, contact the manufacturer or the
nearest ofcial service centre.

If, due to the characteristics of the
installation, these values are not met,
additional protection elements must be
installed.

MANOEUVER PROG.
The control panel has a conguration
wizard that allows you to select the most
important parameters and start up the
control panel quickly.
To start the wizard, with the door closed,
enter the conguration menu by pressing
BACK+ENTER, the parameter GATE TYPE
will appear.
Press ENTER and use the <-/-> keys to
scroll through the options until the desired
type is selected. Press ENTER to validate.
Then press -> and MANIOB MODE will
appear.
Press ENTER to access the submenu and
use the <-/ -> keys to select the desired
mode. Press ENTER to validate. Then
press -> until the MAINTENANCE menu
appears. Press ENTER to access the
submenu. Press -> to select the OPEN
and/or CLOSE commands.
In either command, pressing ENTER will
operate the door (opening or closing) in
deadman mode at soft stop speed and
power. In this way it is checked that the
connections of the phases to the motor
are correctly made and the direction of
rotation of the motor is correct, or not, in
which case the parameter INVERT MOTOR
can be used or any 2 phases can be swap-
ped between them.
Once these steps have been carried out,
press -> until PROG MANEUVER appears on
the screen and accept by pressing ENTER.
After this, the panel will ask one by one for
the vital parameters of the conguration.
Choose the desired value for each option
with the <- and -> keys and press ENTER
to accept and continue or BACK to go
back.
If the door interrupts the photocell insta-
lled at input S1 during its movement, it is
possible to congure the panel to learn the
inhibition interval automatically by setting
the parameter INHIB. SEG1 parameter to
YES.
In the case of using an absolute encoder,
the panel will instruct you to position the
door at the opening and closing points
using the <- and -> keys to memorise their
positions.
After conguring the basic parameters,
the panel will indicate that after pressing
ENTER again, the learning manoeuvre will
begin.
From here you can carry out the following
steps using the ENTER key, the LL1 key
input, or by means of a radio transmitter:
wPress to start opening.
wPress to start soft stop (if the parame-
ter SOFT STOP is activated).
wWait until the opening limit switch is
reached (the door will stop by itself).
wPress to start closing.
wPress to start soft stop (if parameter

MANOEUVER
ACTIVATION
The key inputs (marked LL1, LL2 and LL3)
and a radio card installed in the radio
socket can be used to start a manoeuvre
when the control panel is idle.
The functions of the key inputs LL1, LL2
and the radio card are determined by the
selected manoeuvre mode, while input
LL3 can be set separately to operate
differently (using the POLARITY and MODE
parameters within the LL3 menu). It is
possible to disable any of the LL1, LL2 or
LL3 inputs using the LL1 BLOCK, LL2
BLOCK or LL3 BLOCK parameters, so that
any stimulus on these inputs will be
ignored.
Each input is assigned a transit direction
to enable the use of discriminating trafc
lights. LL1, LL2, and the radio card are used
for the incoming transit direction and LL3
for the outgoing transit direction.
NOTE: The radio card operates by default
the same as LL1 unless the parameter
RADIO ALT STOP is activated, in which
case it shall operate in alternate stop
(regardless of the general manoeuvre
mode selected).
MANOEUVRE MODES
The MANOEUVER MODE parameter sets the
functions that the key and radio inputs
perform.
STANDARD
In STANDARD mode, Ll1 will give an open
command if the door is closed and a close
command if the door is open and at rest.
LL2 will work in the same way except that
the opening will be in pedestrian mode.
None of the keys perform any function
while the door is moving unless the
parameter INVER ON KEY is activated, in
which case during closing LL1 and LL2 will
cause a soft manoeuvre inversion to be
performed. In this mode, AUTO CLOSING is
activated by default, although in OPTIONS,
by accessing this command, it can be
deactivated by selecting NO.
OPEN/CLOSE
The OPEN/CLOSE mode uses LL1 as the
opening command and LL2 as the closing
command. When the door is in motion the
opposite direction input will cause a
smooth reversal of manoeuvre (without
passing through stop). In this mode, AUTO
CLOSE is disabled by default, although in
OPTIONS, by accessing this command it
can be activated by selecting YES.
ALT. STOP
The ALT STOP mode works in the same
way as the STANDARD mode, except that if
LL1 or LL2 is used while the door is moving,
it stops. The next press will make the door
continue the manoeuvre in the opposite
direction to the previous one. In this mode,
the AUTO CLOSE is disabled by default,
although in OPTIONS, by accessing this
command, it can be activated by selecting
YES.
DEADMAN
The DEADMAN mode only allows the door
to move while the LL1 or radio input is
active (opening) or the LL2 input is active
(closing). The manoeuvre is interrupted
when the input in use is deactivated. In this
mode, the safeties only pause the
manoeuvre.
SEMI. DEADMAN
The SEMI DEADMAN mode performs full
opening in the normal way when using LL1
or LL2, but requires using either of the
inputs in deadman mode to close.
AUXILIARY DEADMAN
The parameter AUX DEAD MAN parameter
allows the panel to temporarily operate in
deadman mode when one of the safeties
fails the test, allowing the door to be
opened in case of problems. When this
option is activated, in the event of a failure,
simply press and hold the usual key or
radio input for a few seconds.

PHASES
SAFETY TESTS
The safety tests phase is performed in the
beginning of every maneuver before
moving the gate. The controller rst
checks for obstructed safeties (corres-
ponding led off in the board) that are
relevant to the maneuver. If there is any
obstructed safety it waits for them to
enter idle state and will show a message in
the display to this effect. Then the board
checks the resistive values of safety edges
and performs a test procedure on light
barriers removing power from the trans-
mitter to check the system is in order.
UNLOCKING
The unlocking phase performs many
different functions simultaneosly before
starting the movement phase:
wActivates the garage light relay during
the time interval specied by the GARG
LIGHT T parameter. This paremeter can
be set to any time from 1 sec. to 240
sec., thus saving the need to use an
external timer.
wActivates the electrolock relay if any of
the relays is congured as such and the
ELECTROLOCK parameter is set with a
time interval.
wWhen the electrolock is activated and
the maneuver will open the gate the
controler performs a reversing stroke in
soft stop speed ( OP SOFT VEL parame-
ter) with normal power (OP NORMAL POW
parameter) for a duration specied by
the REVERS. STROKE parameter.
wPerforms preashing through a relay
congured for light beacon during the
time interval specied by the PREFLASH
OP T parameter for opening and the
PREFLASH CL T for closing. Preashing
is managed following the mode speci-
ed by the PREFLASH MODE parameter. If
the FLASHING SEM. parameter is set
preashing will be performed through a
relay congured as red semaphore
light.
MOVEMENT
The movement phase comprises the
actual gate movement and management
of the safety devices. First the red semap-
hore light is activated if any relay is set as
such and the maneuver counters are
incremented (once per gate movement
direction). The electrolock, if activated in
the previous phase, is held active until the
time specied by the ELECTROLOCK
parameter passes. If there is a relay set up
as a beacon light it will be managed
following the mode set in the FLASH MODE
MOV parameter.
Motor speed and power are adjusted in
different phases:
wAcceleration ramp: The acceleration
ramp is performed at maximum power
and goes from stopped motor to the
transit speed in the time specied by the
OP ACCEL RAMP parameter for opening
and CL ACCEL RAMP for closing. The
shorter the ramp time the more abrupt
the speed change is, and the longer the
r a m p, so f te r t he s p ee d c h an ge .
wTransit: In transit the motor spins with
the the speed and power adequate to
the maneuver. Most maneuvers are
performed in normal speed (OP NORMAL
VEL for opening and CL NORMAL VEL for
closing) and power (OP NORMAL POW for
opening and CL NORMAL POW for clo-
sing). Deadman maneuvers before the
rst learning maneuver are performed
in soft stop speed (OP SOFT VEL for
opening and CL SOFT VEL for closing)
and power (OP SOFT POW for opening
and CL SOFT POW for closing).

wSoft stop ramp: If the SOFT STOP
parameter is set, when the gate reaches
the position set as a percentage of the
gate limits (OP SOFT STOP for opening
or CL SOFT STOP for closing), the
controller starts the soft stop phase.
The soft stop ramp regulates the speed
and power from the ones used in transit
to the the ones set for the soft stop
phase (OP SOFT VEL and OP SOFT POW
for opening or CL SOFT VEL and CL SOFT
POW for closing) and lasts the time set in
the OP SOFT RAMP parameter for ope-
ning or the CL SOFT RAMP parameter for
closing.
wSoft stop: if the SOFT STOP parameter is
set the motor will spin using the soft
stop speed and power (OP SOFT VEL
and OP SOFT POW for opening or CL SOFT
VEL and CL SOFT POW for closing).
wDecceleration before limit: if the DCEL
OP MARGIN parameter when closing or
the DCEL CL MARGIN when closing are
greater than zero the controller will
progressively deccelerate when the
remaining gate movement reaches the
margin specied by the corresponding
parameter, reaching the end with the
speed specied by the DCEL OP VEL
parameter when opening or the DCEL
CL VEL parameter when closing.
wDecceleration ramp: when the gate
reaches its end position (PEDEST LIM.
parameter for pedestrian opening
maneuvers) or the maneuver time runs
out a nal decceleration ramp to stop
the motor is performed. The ramp lasts
the time specied by the OP DECC RAMP
parameter when opening or the CL
DECC RAMP parameter whenclosing. If
the motor must be stopped immedia-
tely the ramp time should be set to zero
seconds.
The movement phase nishes either
because the maneuver time runs out, a
limit switch has been reached, the pro-
grammed encoder position has been
reached (ABS ENC I POS and ABS ENC F POS
parameters) or, in pedestrian mode, the
gate reaches the congured position
(PEDEST LIM parameter). The maneuver
time is set in the OPEN TIME parameter for
opening and CLOSE TIME parameter for
closing. When the maneuver is inverted
the controller calculates the needed time
using the current gate position as referen-
ce, If the gate does not reach its end point
in this situation it is possible to apply some
extra time (EXTRA TIME parameter).
Safeties can alter maneuvers (inversion,
safety stop...). Ending a maneuver becau-
se of a safety is considered a cancellation
and can be followed automatically by
another maneuver (inversions).
When the opening movement phase ends
succesfully, the red semaphore light is
deactivated and the green semaphore
light is activated.
LOCKING
The locking phase when closing, if an
electrolock is installed, performs a nal
stroke in soft stop speed (CL SOFT VEL)
and in normal power (CL NORMAL POW
parameter) lasting the time specied by
the FINAL STROKE parameter.
PAUSE
The pause phase is performed after
opening if the AUTO CLOSE parameter is set.
This phase lasts the time specied by the
AUTO CLOSE T parameter for normal
maneuvers, the AUTO C PED T parameter
for pedestrian maneuvers and the FAST
PHOTO CLOSE parameter for light barrier
inversions. If a light beacon relay is con-
gured it will follow the conguration set in
the FLASH MODE PAUS parameter. When the
pause ends a new closing maneuver starts.
If the OPTIONAL AUTO parameter is set, any
key switch activation will terminate the
pause phase. If OPTIONAL AUTO is not set
but KEY RES. AUTO is set, key switch inputs
will restart the pause timer, also when
held.
If the CLOSE ON BEAM parameter is set with
an specic time, a light barrier obstruction
during pause will reset the timer to the
value set in the parameter.
11
SAFETIES
The controller supports many safety
devices that can affect the maneuver:
STOP, light barriers, safety edges, FSS,
current sensor and encoder.
STOP
The STOP input supports a normally
closed contact for emergency stop. In
case no device is installed the terminals
should be bridged (led off) for the contro-
ller to work.
Opening the stop contact will make the
motor stop immediately and will cancel
the current maneuver no matter in which
phase it is currently in.
LIGHT BARRIERS
The controller has two separate inputs for
light barrier use that can be independtly
enabled and congured. These inputs
work as normally closed contacts, so in
case of more than two light barriers they
should be connected in series. If more than
one light barrier share the same board
input the same conguration will apply to
all of them.
To enable a light barrier input rst the
input needs to be enabled using the BEAM
1 parameter or the BEAM 2 parameter.
Once the input is enabled it is possible to
congure the safety test and the behavior
both when opening and when closing.
To activate the safety test the TEST BEAM 1
parameter or the TEST BEAM 2 parameter
must be used. Once set, the default testing
strategy is to test both before opening
and closing. It is possible to adjust this
strategy using the TEST BEAM 1 OP, TEST
BEAM 1 CL, TEST BEAM 2 OP and TEST BEAM
2 CL parameters.
To perform the safety test it is neccesary
to interrupt the power line to the periphe-
ral or, in some cases, provide a test impul-
se. For maximum exibility the controller
provides two ways of performing the test:
terminal 18 can be used as DC negative
supply for testable devices or one of the
dry relay contacts can be used using the
TEST function.
Below all possible values for BEAM 1 OPEN,
BEAM 1 CLOSE, BEAM 2 OPEN and BEAM 2
CLOSE are detailed.
NO
The light barrier is ignored.
PAUSE
The light barrier pauses the maneuver while obstructed. When unobstruc-
ted, the controller waits for three seconds and resumes the maneuver.
INVERT
The light barrier inverts the maneuver direction.
STOP
The light barrier stops and cancels the maneuver.
SHORT INV.
The light barrier inverts the maneuver direction during the time set in the
SHORT INV. T. parameter and then stops and cancels the maneuver.
DELAYED INV
When the light barrier is unobstructed the gatye stops, waits during the
time set in the DEL. INV. T. parameter and then inverts the maneuver.

wSoft stop ramp: If the SOFT STOP
parameter is set, when the gate reaches
the position set as a percentage of the
gate limits (OP SOFT STOP for opening
or CL SOFT STOP for closing), the
controller starts the soft stop phase.
The soft stop ramp regulates the speed
and power from the ones used in transit
to the the ones set for the soft stop
phase (OP SOFT VEL and OP SOFT POW
for opening or CL SOFT VEL and CL SOFT
POW for closing) and lasts the time set in
the OP SOFT RAMP parameter for ope-
ning or the CL SOFT RAMP parameter for
closing.
wSoft stop: if the SOFT STOP parameter is
set the motor will spin using the soft
stop speed and power (OP SOFT VEL
and OP SOFT POW for opening or CL SOFT
VEL and CL SOFT POW for closing).
wDecceleration before limit: if the DCEL
OP MARGIN parameter when closing or
the DCEL CL MARGIN when closing are
greater than zero the controller will
progressively deccelerate when the
remaining gate movement reaches the
margin specied by the corresponding
parameter, reaching the end with the
speed specied by the DCEL OP VEL
parameter when opening or the DCEL
CL VEL parameter when closing.
wDecceleration ramp: when the gate
reaches its end position (PEDEST LIM.
parameter for pedestrian opening
maneuvers) or the maneuver time runs
out a nal decceleration ramp to stop
the motor is performed. The ramp lasts
the time specied by the OP DECC RAMP
parameter when opening or the CL
DECC RAMP parameter whenclosing. If
the motor must be stopped immedia-
tely the ramp time should be set to zero
seconds.
The movement phase nishes either
because the maneuver time runs out, a
limit switch has been reached, the pro-
grammed encoder position has been
reached (ABS ENC I POS and ABS ENC F POS
parameters) or, in pedestrian mode, the
gate reaches the congured position
(PEDEST LIM parameter). The maneuver
time is set in the OPEN TIME parameter for
opening and CLOSE TIME parameter for
closing. When the maneuver is inverted
the controller calculates the needed time
using the current gate position as referen-
ce, If the gate does not reach its end point
in this situation it is possible to apply some
extra time (EXTRA TIME parameter).
Safeties can alter maneuvers (inversion,
safety stop...). Ending a maneuver becau-
se of a safety is considered a cancellation
and can be followed automatically by
another maneuver (inversions).
When the opening movement phase ends
succesfully, the red semaphore light is
deactivated and the green semaphore
light is activated.
LOCKING
The locking phase when closing, if an
electrolock is installed, performs a nal
stroke in soft stop speed (CL SOFT VEL)
and in normal power (CL NORMAL POW
parameter) lasting the time specied by
the FINAL STROKE parameter.
PAUSE
The pause phase is performed after
opening if the AUTO CLOSE parameter is set.
This phase lasts the time specied by the
AUTO CLOSE T parameter for normal
maneuvers, the AUTO C PED T parameter
for pedestrian maneuvers and the FAST
PHOTO CLOSE parameter for light barrier
inversions. If a light beacon relay is con-
gured it will follow the conguration set in
the FLASH MODE PAUS parameter. When the
pause ends a new closing maneuver starts.
If the OPTIONAL AUTO parameter is set, any
key switch activation will terminate the
pause phase. If OPTIONAL AUTO is not set
but KEY RES. AUTO is set, key switch inputs
will restart the pause timer, also when
held.
If the CLOSE ON BEAM parameter is set with
an specic time, a light barrier obstruction
during pause will reset the timer to the
value set in the parameter.
11
SAFETIES
The controller supports many safety
devices that can affect the maneuver:
STOP, light barriers, safety edges, FSS,
current sensor and encoder.
STOP
The STOP input supports a normally
closed contact for emergency stop. In
case no device is installed the terminals
should be bridged (led off) for the contro-
ller to work.
Opening the stop contact will make the
motor stop immediately and will cancel
the current maneuver no matter in which
phase it is currently in.
LIGHT BARRIERS
The controller has two separate inputs for
light barrier use that can be independtly
enabled and congured. These inputs
work as normally closed contacts, so in
case of more than two light barriers they
should be connected in series. If more than
one light barrier share the same board
input the same conguration will apply to
all of them.
To enable a light barrier input rst the
input needs to be enabled using the BEAM
1 parameter or the BEAM 2 parameter.
Once the input is enabled it is possible to
congure the safety test and the behavior
both when opening and when closing.
To activate the safety test the TEST BEAM 1
parameter or the TEST BEAM 2 parameter
must be used. Once set, the default testing
strategy is to test both before opening
and closing. It is possible to adjust this
strategy using the TEST BEAM 1 OP, TEST
BEAM 1 CL, TEST BEAM 2 OP and TEST BEAM
2 CL parameters.
To perform the safety test it is neccesary
to interrupt the power line to the periphe-
ral or, in some cases, provide a test impul-
se. For maximum exibility the controller
provides two ways of performing the test:
terminal 18 can be used as DC negative
supply for testable devices or one of the
dry relay contacts can be used using the
TEST function.
Below all possible values for BEAM 1 OPEN,
BEAM 1 CLOSE, BEAM 2 OPEN and BEAM 2
CLOSE are detailed.
NO
The light barrier is ignored.
PAUSE
The light barrier pauses the maneuver while obstructed. When unobstruc-
ted, the controller waits for three seconds and resumes the maneuver.
INVERT
The light barrier inverts the maneuver direction.
STOP
The light barrier stops and cancels the maneuver.
SHORT INV.
The light barrier inverts the maneuver direction during the time set in the
SHORT INV. T. parameter and then stops and cancels the maneuver.
DELAYED INV
When the light barrier is unobstructed the gatye stops, waits during the
time set in the DEL. INV. T. parameter and then inverts the maneuver.

MANEUVER
SAFETY EDGES
The panel has two inputs for safety edges,
two inputs associated with the plug-in
WBAND card and one input for FSS type
safety that can be enabled and congured
independently. The band inputs of the
panel work by monitoring the connected
resistive value and support 8K2 or 4K1
resistive bands and contact bands, either
normally open or normally closed. If you
want to connect several strips to the same
input, it is necessary to connect them in
series if they are normally closed contacts,
and in parallel if they are normally open or
resistive contacts. In the case of resistive
strips, the panel only supports two con-
nected in parallel on the same input,
conguring the input for 4K1.
The FSS input checks that the connected
security modulates at the appropriate
frequency.In order to use a band input, the
plug-in card inputs or the FSS input, it is
necessary to congure the input by
modifying the parameter EDGE 1, EDGE 2,
WB1, WB2 or FSS.
The possible options for parameters EDGE
1 APER, EDGE 1 CLOSE, EDGE 2 APER and
EDGE 2 CLOSE, WB1 APER and WB1 CLOSE,
WB2 APER and WB2 CLOSE, FSS APER and
FSS CLOSE are listed below, with the
selected action being applied when safety
is activated in the chosen direction.
NO
The safety edge is ignored.
INVERT
The safety edge reverses direction until the end of the manoeuvre.
STOP
The safety edge stops and cancels the maneuver.
SHORT INV.
The safety edge inverts the maneuver direction during the time set in the
SHORT INV. T. parameter and then stops and cancels the maneuver.
CURRENT SENSOR
The BOX H Vf20 controller
monitors the current draw on
each motor phase in real time so
it can be displayed in the LCD
screen and to implement three
different protections :
wObstacle detection: When the contro-
ller detects an abrupt rise in motor
current draw or detects that it is higher
than a congurable limit (M1 OBST. LIM)
during a short span of time the obstacle
detection safety activates. This safety
only works if the M1 SENSIB. parameter
is 1 or greater; this parameter set the
sensitivity to rises in current draw, being
1 the lowest and 9 the highest. If this
safety is activated the controller will log
an error for future reference. NOTE: This
safety does not work during speed
ramps and performs best when the
motor spins with reduced power.
wOvercurrent protection: If the contro-
ller detects that the motor current draw
rises above a limit set in the OC LIMIT
parameter for a brief span of time the
maneuver will be cancelled immedia-
tely and an error will be logged for
future reference.
wShortcircuit protection: If the controller
detects that the motor current draw
rises above an internal limit close to the
maximum supported by the board the
maneuver is cancelled immediately and
an error is logged for future reference.
13
OBSTACLE DETECTION
The controller has many means to detect
an obstacle. The behaviour of the gate
when one is encountered is set by the
PUSH SEC. OPEN and PUSH SEC. CLOSE
parameters in a similar fashion to safety
edges (see table above).
ENCODER
When the encoder is enabled it can be
used as a safety measure too. The contro-
ller monitors the time lapse between
position changes and implements two
protections::
wObstacle detection: If the controller
detects an abrupt rise in time between
position changes the obstacle detec-
tion safety activates. This safety only
works if the M1 ENC SENS. parameter is 1
or greater; this parameter set the
sensitivity to rises in current draw,
being 1 the lowest and 9 the highest. If
this safety is activated the controller
will log an error for future reference..
NOTE: This safety does not work during
speed ramps.
wLocking detection: If the controller tries
to make the motor spin but no signica-
tive position change is detected the
maneuver is cancelled to avoid damage
and an error is logged for future refe-
rence.
MOTOR
The BOX H VF20 allows independent
control of speed and power for a 230VAC
three-phase motor (delta wiring). Speed
can be set between 10Hz (Hertz) and
100Hz (OP NORMAL VEL, CL NORMAL VEL, OP
SOFT VEL and CL SOFT VEL parameters)
and power can be set from 30% to 100%
(OP NORMAL POW, CL NORMAL POW, OP SOFT
POW and CL SOFT POW).
It is important to consider that three-
phase motors are usually designed with
50Hz and 100% power in mind. Using
these values is equivalent to powering the
motor with direct three-phase power.
Frequency modication, specially close to
the limits, can make the motor spin badly,
cause higher power drain and general
malfunction. Also, reducing the delivered
power can make the motor spin slower
than intended or general malfunction. It is
recommended to test thoroughly the
selected parameter values.
The controller has two complementary
brake systems: electrical brake and
electromechanical brake. The electrical
brake is performed by applying DC power
in the motor phases and practicaly locks
the motor in place, eliminating inertia and
relieving the electromechanical brake
from unneeded friction. The electrome-
chanical brake is activated through one of
the output relays and primarily serves the
function of locking the motor in place
when the gate is idle.
The electrical brake strength can be
regulated using the BRAKE POW OP and
BRAKE POW CL parameters. This parame-
ters accepet any value from 0 to 4, 0 being
electrical brake disabled and 4 being the
highest power setting. NOTE: It is not
recommended to change the brake
strength if not actually needed, specially
setting level 4 as it can damage the motor.

MANOEUVER
OUTPUTS
The panel has four independently congu-
rable outputs that allow the appropriate
external elements to be congured for
each installation. Each output has its own
menu (called RL2, RL3, RL4 and RL5) and
within each one there are two parameters:
POLARITY and RELAY MODE.
POLARITY: Allows conguring the output
polarity between NO CONTACT (normally
open) and NC CONTACT (normally closed).
It is important to consider that the physical
relay contact available in the terminal strip
is normally open, so if the board is unpo-
wered the relay will always open the
contact no matter the conguration..
RELAY MODE: Allows selecting the function
each relay will perform.
RELAY – GARAGE LIGHT
The GARAGE LIGHT mode uses the relay to
deliver power or a signal to a device each
time a maneuver begins during the time
span specied by GARG LIGHT T parame-
ter.
RELAY - COURTESY LIGHT
The COURTESY LIGHT mode works in the
same way as the GARAGE LIGHT mode,
forcing it to switch off at the end of the
manoeuvre.
RELAY – FLASH LAMP
The FLASH LAMP mode uses the relay to
deliver power to a beacon light during the
unlocking phase (preashing), the
movement phase and during pause. It is
possible to modify the behavior of the
output in each phase (off, intermitent or
on) using the PREFLASH MODE, FLASH MODE
MOV and FLASH MODE PAUS parameters.
RELAY - BRAKE
The BRAKE mode uses the relay to unlock
or lock the electromechanical brake of the
motor. The brake is released just before
spinning the motor and is lock immedia-
tely after stopping it.
RELAY - MAINTENANCE
The MAINTENANCE mode uses a relay to
signal or power an external device when
the maneuver partial counter rises above
the limit set in the MAINT. LIM. parameter.
RELAY - SAFETY TEST
The SEC. TEST mode performs a safety
test on devices that are powered exter-
nally or that need a test signal. The contro-
ller will activate the relay to perform the
test and deactivate it when the safety
switches state.
RELAY – ELECTROLOCK
The ELECTROLOCK mode activates an
electrolock before opening the gate.
Setting this mode for a relay enables other
parameters related to the electrolock
function (ELECTROLOCK, REVERS. STROKE,
FINAL STROKE).
RELAY – RED SEMAPH
The RED LIGHT IN and RED LIGHT OUT
modes use a relay to activate a red semap-
hore light for a given transit direction. If
the FLASHING SEM. parameter is set
preashing will be performed in this relay
too.
RELAY – GREEN SEMAPH
The GREEN LIGHT IN and GREEN LIG. OUT
modes use a relay to activate a green
semaphore light for a given transit direc-
tion.
RELAY – GATE STATE
The GATE CLOSED mode activates the relay
while the gate is completely closed.
The GATE OPENED mode activates the
relay while the gate is completely open.
The GATE OPENING mode activates the
relay while the gate is opening.
The GATE CLOSING mode activates the
relay while the gate is closing.
RELAY – IN PAUSE
The IN PAUSE mode activates the relay
while the maneuver is in the pause phase.
RELAY - POSITIONAL
The IMPULSE POS. mode activates the
relay on a timed basis for the time set in
parameter T IMPULS POS when passing
through the chosen percentage position
during the opening manoeuvre.
The CONMUT POS mode switches the state
of the relay each time it passes through
the chosen percentage position.
17
The PERMAN POS mode activates the relay
as long as the door is approximately in the
chosen percentage position.
The position of each relay can be chosen
using the RELAY POSITION parameter.
DISPLAY
The LCD display shows during maneuver
many useful runtime values easing mainte-
nance and initial installation.

When idle, the controller might show four

are one or more logged errors. When
entering the menu the controller will show
one by one the logged error, waiting for
ENTER to be pressed n between. NOTE:
The controller will still work normally even
if there are logged errors.

ENCODER
It is possible to use an absolute encoder
via RS485 bus (ENCODER parameter) to
control the gate position.
The learning maneuver automatically
detects the correct encoder polarity.
Before the actual learning maneuver the
instaler is prompted to move the gate to
the opening and closing positions to learn
their encoder values. These positions can
be adjusted after the learning maneuver
using the ABS ENC I POS and ABS ENC F POS
parameters.
For more information on safety related
encoder settigns check page 13.
