Mounting the motor
[1]. Position the motor on the lag screws, insert it and push it towards the gate.
[2]. Ensure the pinion is correctly positioned under the rack.
[3]. Set the height of the motor and/or the rack to ensure a clearance of approximately 2
mm between the rack and the pinion. This setting is important to prevent premature
wear of the pinion and rack; the pinion must not be supporting the weight of the gate.
[4]. Check:
that the setting nuts all come into contact with the base of the motor,
the motor is level,
the gate runs correctly,

Connection to the power supply
Connect the live (L) to terminal 1 on the motor.
Connect the neutral (N) to terminal 2 of the motor.
Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
The earth wire must always be longer than the live and neutral to ensure
that it is the last to be disconnected if the connector is pulled out.
The transformer is wired to terminals 3 and 4. Do not alter the connections.
Switch on the power to the installation before commissioning.
Before quick commissioning
[1]. Ensure the rail is clean.
[2]. Manually move the gate to the intermediate position.
Re-engage the motorisation
[1]. Turn the release handle to the left.
[2]. Move the gate manually until the drive mechanism re-locks.
[3]. Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the right.

[1]. Press and hold the "PROG" button (2 s).
The screen displays "F0".
[2]. Press the button of the remote control that will open the gate fully.
The screen displays "Add".
It is possible to store up to 40 command channels.

- Self-learning the gate's travel is essential when commissioning the motor.
- The gate must be in the intermediate position before self-learning starts.
-During self-learning, the obstacle detection function is not active. Remove any objects or obstacles
and do not allow any persons near or inside the operating range of the motorisation.
- To carry out an emergency stop during self-learning, use a stored remote control or press one of the interface buttons.
Start self-learning
[1]. Press and hold the "SET" button (2 s).
Release the button when the screen displays "H1".
[2]. Press "OK" to start self-learning.
Self-learning must start with the gate being opened.
The gate performs two complete Opening and Closing cycles.

If self-learning starts when the gate is closed, stop the self-learning in progress
(press a control button: motor electronics, memorised remote control, wired

If self-learning is correct, the display indicates "C1".
If self-learning has not completed correctly, the display indicates "H0".
At the end of installation, it must be checked that the limitation of forces complies with appendix A of the standard EN 12 453.

OPERATING TEST
Self-learning can be interrupted by:
activating a safety input (photoelectric cells, etc.)
the appearance of a technical fault (thermal protection, etc.)
pressing a control button (motor electronics, memorised remote control, wired control point, etc.).
In case of interruption, the display indicates "H0" and the motor returns to "Awaiting setting" mode.
In "Awaiting setting" mode, the radio controls operate and the gate moves very slowly. This mode must only be used during installation. Self-learning must
be successfully performed before the gate can be used normally.
During self-learning, if the gate is stationary, pressing "SET" will exit self-learning mode.
It is possible to access self-learning mode at any time including when the self-learning cycle has already been completed and the display
indicates "C1".

Complete opening operation
Obstacle detection operation
Obstacle detection when opening = stop + partial reversal.
Obstacle detection when closing = stop + complete reopening.
Operation of the photoelectric cells
With the photoelectric cells connected to the dry/Cell contact (terminals 19-20) and Cell safety input parameter P07 = 1.
Cells obscured with gate closed/open = the gate cannot be moved until the operating mode changes to deadman operation (after 3 minutes).
Cells obscured when opening = the state of the cells is not taken into account and the gate continues to move.
Cells obscured when closing = stop + complete reopening.
Safety edge operation (closing only)
Activation of the safety edge when closing = stop + complete reopening.

Description of the various additional devices
Photoelectric cells (Fig. 1)
Three types of connection are possible:
A: Without autotest: programme parameter "P07" = 1.
B: With autotest: programme parameter "P07" = 3.
Allows an automatic test to be carried out to check the operation of the photoelectric cells each time the gate moves.
If the operating test result is negative, the gate cannot be moved until the operating mode changes to deadman operation (after 3 minutes).
C: BUS: programme parameter "P07" = 4. Self-learning must be repeated after the cell BUS has been connected.
If cells are removed, it is essential to create the bridge between terminals 19 and 20.
It is compulsory to install photoelectric cells if:
- the automatic control device is being controlled remotely (user unable to see it),
- automatic closing is activated (P01 = 1, 3 or 4).
It is compulsory to install photoelectric cells WITH AUTOTEST (P07 = 3 or 4) if the automatic control device is being controlled by a Tahoma
control box.

Orange light (Fig. 3)
Programme parameter "P12" according to the required operating mode:
No warning prior to gate movement: "P12" = 0.
With 2 s warning prior to gate movement: "P12" = 1.
Connect the aerial cable to terminals 7 (conductor) and 8 (braid).
Wired code keypad (Fig. 4)
Not operational using solar power.
Aerial (Fig. 5)
Safety edge (Fig. 6)
Not operational using solar power.
Only active when closing (for a safety edge active when opening, use the programmable safety input and programme parameter "P10" = 1).
With autotest: programme parameter "P08" = 2.
Allows an automatic test to be carried out to check the operation of the safety edge each time the gate moves.
If the operating test result is negative, the gate cannot be moved until the operating mode changes to deadman operation (after 3 minutes).
If the safety edge is removed, it is essential to create the bridge between terminals 17 and 18.
24 V battery (Fig. 7)
[1]. Position and tighten the battery power supply management card.
[2]. Position the batteries.
[3]. Make the connections.
For more details, refer to the 24V battery instructions.
Normal operation: nominal speed, accessories functional.
Life: 5 cycles/24 hrs
9.6 V battery (Fig. 8)
Degraded operation: speed reduced and constant (no slowdown at end limit), 24 V accessories inactive (including cells).
Life: 5 cycles/24 hrs

5m cable provided with the solar kit.
Note: Join wires of the same colour to prevent polarity reversal.
Area lighting (Fig. 10)
For class I lighting, connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
Note: The earth wire must always be longer than the live and neutral wires in case of detachment.
Several lights may be connected provided the total power does not exceed 500 W.

In sequential mode with automatic timed close:
- the gate closes automatically after the time delay programmed

- pressing a button on the remote control interrupts the
movement taking place and the timed close (the gate remains
open).

- pressing a button on the remote control during opening has no effect,
- pressing a button on the remote control during closing causes it to reopen.

In automatic closure mode:
- the gate closes automatically after the time delay programmed

- pressing a button on the remote control during opening has
no effect,
- pressing a button on the remote control during closing causes

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE CONTROLS
Memorising 2- or 4-button remote controls via the programming interface
Up to 40 command channels can be memorised and assigned as desired among the commands listed below. If the memory is full, the screen displays "FuL".
If this procedure is carried out using a channel which has already been memorised, this channel will be cleared. The screen displays "dEL".
Memorising 3-button remote controls via the programming interface
[1]. Press and hold the "PROG" button on the control box (2 s).
The screen displays "F0".
Note: pressing "PROG" again allows the next function to be memorised.
[2]. Press "PROG" at the rear of the 3-button remote control to memorise the
function.
