INSTALLATION
Installation of control unit and safety devices must be carried
out with power disconnected.
POWER SUPPLY
The control unit must be fed by a 230V 50Hz (120V - 50/60Hz
for the model City1-120V) electric line, protected by a
differential magnetothermal switch complying with the law
provisions in force.
Connect power supply cables to terminals 30 and 31 of City1
control unit.
MOTORS
City1 control unit can control one or two alternate current
asynchronous motors. If the control unit needs to control one
motor only, the latter must be connected to terminals of
motor 1.
Connect motor 1 cables as follows:
•opening cable to terminal 27
• closing cable to terminal 29
•common return cable to terminal 28
Connect motor 2 (if any) cables as follows:
•opening cable to terminal 24
• closing cable to terminal 26
•common return cable to terminal 25
mWARNING:
• In case it has not yet fitted, a start capacitor for each motor
is required; connect the start capacitor for motor 1 between
terminals 27 and 29 and start capacitor for motor 2 (if any)
between terminals 24 and 26.
•In case motor 2 is not connected, set menu tAP2 to zero.
mWARNING (USING HYDRAULIC MOTORS):
• If using hydraulic motors, the following function could not
work properly: Soft start, Slowing down and Obstacle sensor.
In this case, such functions should be disabled from menu.
•Read carefully the working times self-learning procedure,
described in the paragraph “QUICK CONFIGURATION”, paying
particular attention to the points where the procedure to be
followed in case of disabled obstacle sensor is described.
BLINKER
City1 control unit provides for a 230V 40W (120V – 40W for
model City1-120V) blinker equipped with intermittence inside.
Connect blinker cables to terminals 22 and 23 of the control
unit.
LOCK
An electric lock can be assembled on the gate, to ensure a
good closing of doors. Make use of a 12V lock. Connect lock
cables to terminals 20 and 21 of the control unit.
PHOTOCELLS
The control unit considers two kinds of photocells, depending
on the terminal to which they are connected:
•Photocell 1: that is to say,photocells installed on the gate
inner side, which are active both during the opening and the
closing phase. When photocells 1 operate, the control unit
stops the doors; as soon as the photocell beam is free, the
control unit will open the gate completely.
•Photocell 2: that is to say, photocells installed on the
external gate side and which are active during the closing
phase only. When photocells 2 operate, the control unit
opens the gate immediately,without waiting for release.
City1 control unit supplies a 24VAC power supply to photocells
and it can perform a photocell operation test before starting
the gate opening phase. Photocell power terminals are
protected by an electronic fuse that stops current in case of
overload.
• Connect power supply cables of photocells transmitter
between terminals 19 and 18 of the control unit.
• Connect power supply cables of photocells receiver between
terminals 17 and 18 of the control unit.
• Connect receiver output of photocells 1 between terminals 7
and 11 of the control unit and receiver output of photocells
2 between terminals 8 and 11 of the control unit.
Use outputs having normally closed contact.

ENGLISH
2828
mWARNING:
•if several couples of same kind photocells are mounted,
their outputs must be connected in series.
• In case of reflection photocells, power supply must be
connected to terminals 19 and 18 of the control unit to
carry out the operation test.
SAFETY RIBBONS
The control unit considers two kinds of safety ribbons,
depending on the terminal to which they are connected:
•Type 1 (fixed): they are mounted on walls or on other fixed
obstacles that are approached by the gate doors during the
opening phase. When type 1 safety ribbons operate during
the gate opening phase, the control unit will close the doors
for 3 seconds, then it stands still; when type 1 safety
ribbons operate during the gate closing phase, the control
unit will stand still immediately. Next Start or Pedestrian
Start command will restore the gate motion towards the
same interrupted direction.
•Type 2 (mobile): they are mounted to the door ends.
When type 2 safety ribbons operate during the gate opening
phase, the control unit will stand still immediately; when
type 2 safety ribbons operate during the gate closing, the
control unit will open the doors for 3 seconds, then it will
stand still. Next Start or Pedestrian Start command will
restore the gate motion towards the same interrupted
direction.
Connect type 1 safety ribbons cables between terminals 9 and
11 of the control unit.
Connect type 2 safety ribbons cables between terminals 10
and 11 of the control unit.
mWARNING:
•Make use of safety ribbons having outputs with normally
close contact.
• Outputs of same kind safety ribbons must be connected in
series.
In order to meet the requirements of the EN12978 rules, it is
necessary to install safety edges controlled by a control unit
continuously checking the proper working. If using control units
suited to the test by power outage, connect the power supply
cables of the control unit between terminals 19 and 18 of the
City1. Otherwise, connect them between terminals 17 and 18.
END OF STROKE
City1 control unit supports the two following kinds of end of
stroke:
•end of stroke in series of motor winding.
• end of stroke equipped with a normally close switch that will
be opened as soon as the door reaches its position desired.
The control unit automatically recognizes ends of stroke
in-series of the motor windings so no connection or
programming is required.
Ends of strokes equipped with a normally close switch must be
connected to the control unit terminal board as follows:
• end of stroke in door 1 opening phase between terminal 12
and 16.
•end of stroke in door 1 closing phase between terminal 13
and 16.
•end of stroke in door 2 opening phase between terminal 14
and 16.
•end of stroke in door 2 closing phase between terminal 15
and 16.
STOP
For a better safety, you can fit a stop switch that will cause the
immediate gate stop when activated. This switch must have a
normally close contact that will get open in case of operation.
In case the stop switch is operated while the gate is open, the
automatic closing function will always be disabled. To close the
gate again, you will need a start command (if the start function
in pause is disabled, it will be temporarily enabled to allow the
gate release).
Connect the stop switch cables between terminal 5 and 6 of
the control unit.
The stop switch function can be activated by means of a
remote control stored on channel 3 (see relevant instructions
of MR1 receiver).

ENGLISH
2929
ACTIVATION INPUTS
City1 control unit is equipped with two activation inputs, whose
operation depends on the programmed operation modes (see
Strtitem of programming menu):
•Standard mode: a command being on the first input will
cause the complete opening of both leaves (start); a
command being on the second input will cause the partial
opening of leaf 1 only (pedestrian start).
•Open/Close command and manned operation: a command
on the first input always controls the gate opening, while a
command on the second input always controls the gate closing.
In Open/Close mode, there is an impulse command, that is
to say that an impulse will cause the complete gate opening
or closing.
In manned operation, there is a monostable command, that
is to say, the gate will be opened or closed as long as the
contact is closed and it will immediately stop as the contact
is open.
•Timer mode: it is similar to the standard mode but the gate
stays open (completely or partially) while the contact is
closed on input; as soon as the contact is open the pause
time count down will start, after which the gate will be
closed again. This function allows programming the gate
opening time during the day, by making use of an external
timer. Automatic closing must be enabled.
In all modes, inputs must be connected to devices having
normally open contacts.
Connect cables of device controlling the first input between
terminals 3 and 6 of the control unit.
Connect cables of device controlling the second input between
terminals 4 and 6 of the control unit.
The first input function can also be activated by pressing UP
key outside the programming menu or by means of a remote
control stored on channel 1 (see relevant instructions of MR1
receiver).
The second input function can also be activated by pressing
DOWN key outside the programming menu or by means of a
remote control stored on channel 2.
PLUG IN RECEIVER
City1 control unit is suitable for plugging in a Personal Pass
MR1 receiver having a high-sensitivity super-heterodyne
architecture.
mWARNING: it is necessary to turn off the control unit
power before doing the operations mentioned here below. Pay
attention to the way you connect the removable modules.
MR1 module receiver is provided with 4 channels and each of
them is suitable for a command of City1 control unit:
• CHANNEL 1 rt START
• CHANNEL 2 rt PEDESTRIAN START
• CHANNEL 3 rt STOP
•CHANNEL 4 rt OPTIONAL MODULS OUTPUT
mWARNING: Before programming 4 channels and function
logics read carefully the instructions of MR1.
EXTERNAL AERIAL
We suggest to use the external aerial (model: ANS433 or
ANSGP433) in order to guarantee the maximal range.
Connect the antenna hot pole to terminal 1 of the control unit
and the braiding to terminal 2.

ENGLISH
3030
OPTIONAL MODULES
The City1 digital control unit, besides its excellent versatility,
provides for the final user with the possibility to add new
functions by means of optional modules. Its dedicated
connector has been placed over the word OPTIONS.
mWARNING: Please read the instructions of each single
module to install the optional modules.
Connector for optional modules can also be used to plug in the
programming lock key (cod. CL1), which prevents from any
operation set-up change by non-authorized personnel.
CONTROL PANEL
When power is on, the control unit checks that display correctly
operates by switching on all segments for 1.5 sec. 8.8.8.8.
Firmware version, e.g. Pr I.8, will be viewed in the following 1.5
sec. Panel will be viewed upon completion of this test.
The control panel represents the physical status of the
terminal board contacts and of the program mode keys: if the
upper vertical segment is on, the contact is closed; if the lower
vertical segment is on, the contact is open (the above picture
shows an instance where the inputs START, START P, FOTO 1,
FOTO 2,COSTA 1, COSTA 2 and STOP have all been correctly
connected).
Points being among display digits show the status of
programming push-buttons: as soon as a push-button is
pressed, its relevant point turns on.
The arrows on the display left side show the status of the ends
of stroke. As for a one door-gate, arrows turn on when its end
of stroke shows that the gate is completely closed or
completely open.
As for a two-door gate, arrows turn on when both the ends of
stroke show that both the doors are completely closed or
completely open; the arrow will blink in case only one door
reaches its end of stroke.
WARNING: these functions have not been activated in case of
ends of stroke being connected in series to the motor.
The arrows on the display right side show the gate status:
• The highest arrow turns on when the gate is into its opening
phase. If it blinks, it means that the opening has been
caused by a safety device (border or obstacle detector).
• The central arrow shows that the gate is on pause. If it
blinks, it means that the time countdown for the automatic
closing has been activated.
• The lowest arrow blinks when the gate is into its closing
phase. If it blinks, it means that the closing has been
caused by a safety device (border or obstacle detector).
USE OF DOWN MENU AND UP KEYS FOR
PROGRAMMING
Control unit time and function programming is made within a
special configuration menu, to which you can access and where
you can shift through DOWN, MENU and UP keys placed under
the display.
Hold down the MENU key until dEF appears on display, to
activate the programming mode while display views the panel.
Configuration menu consists of a list of configurable items; the
wording appearing on display will show the current selected
item. By pressing DOWN, you will pass to the next item; by
pressing UP
,you will return to the previous item.
By pressing MENU, you can view the current value of selected
item and possibly change it.
The last menu item (FinE) allows storing the carried out
changes and going back to the control unit normal operation.
You must exit from programming mode through this menu item
if you do not want to lose your configuration.
WARNING: in case no operation is carried out for more than
one minute, the control unit exits from the programming mode
without saving any of your setups and changes, which will get
lost.
By holding down the DOWN key, configuration menu items will
scroll fast, until item FinE is viewed. Viceversa, by holding down
the UP key, items will scroll fast backwards until item dEF is
viewed. In this way, you can quickly reach either the top or
bottom of the list.
There are the following three kinds of menu items:
• Function menu
• Time menu
•Value menu

ENGLISH

Function menu setup
Function menus allow selecting a function from among a group
of available options. When you enter into a function menu, the
current active option will be viewed; you can scroll all available
options through DOWN and UP keys. By pressing the MENU
key, you will activate the option viewed and you will return to
the configuration menu.
Time menu setup
Time menus allow setting a function duration. When you enter
into a time menu, the current setup value will be viewed; the
display mode depends on the current value:
• times being lower than one minute will be viewed as follows:
each time you press UP key, current time value increases of
half a second; vice versa, each time you press the DOWN
key, current time value decreases of half a second.
• Times between 1 and 10 minutes will be viewed as follows:
each time you press UP key, current time value increases of 5
seconds; vice versa, each time you press the DOWN key,
current time value decreases of 5 seconds.
• Times being more than 10 minutes will be viewed as follows:
each time you press UP key, current time value increases of
half a minute; vice versa, each time you press the DOWN key,
current time value decreases of half a minute.
By holding down the UP key, you can quickly increase the time
value, up to reach the max. value allowed for this item. Vice
versa, by holding down the DOWN key, you can quickly decrease
the time value down to reach 0.0”.
In some circumstances, setting the value to 0 means that the
relevant function is disabled, in this case, ‘no’ will appear
instead of 0.0”.
By pressing on MENU you will confirm the displayed value and
you will return to the configuration menu.
Value menu setup
Value menus are similar to time menus; however, the setup
value can be any number.
By holding down UP or DOWN keys, the value will increase or
decrease slowly.
QUICK CONFIGURATION
This paragraph concerns a quick procedure to set the control
unit and set it at work immediately. We recommend following
these instructions, in order to check quickly the correct
operation of control unit, motor and accessories, and then
changing the configuration in case of any non-satisfactory
parameter. Please refer to the paragraph “Control unit
configuration” for the item position inside the menu, as well as
for the available options for each item.
1. Call up a default configuration (item dEF.).
Select AntE for a door-gate, select Scor for other
configurations (sliding, rolling, sectional, etc.).
2. If you have a door gate with only one motor, set t.AP2
opening time to zero.
3. In case there is no electric lock on the gate, set t.SEr,
t.ASE and t.CvE values to zero.
4. Set items StoP,Fot1,Fot2,CoS1,CoS2 e FC.En according
to the safety devices installed on the gate.
5. Start the self-learning cycle (item APPr).
This last operation will close the configuration menu and store
set up parameters.
Self-learning procedure if there are two motors:
• In case the ends of stroke or the obstacle sensor have been
enabled, the doors will be activated in closing direction until
the stop end or the closing end of stroke is reached.
Be sure that the leaves do not overlap.
• In case NEITHER the ends of stroke NOR the obstacle
sensor have been enabled, be sure that the doors are
completely closed when the procedure starts.
• The doors will be activated in opening direction until the
stop end or the opening end of stroke is reached.
• In case the sensors have not been enabled, or if you realize
that they do not signal the position to the control unit, you
must send a first START command when leaf 1 reaches its
max. opening position and then a second START command
when leaf 2 completes its opening phase.
• The doors will be activated in closing direction until the stop
end or the closing end of stroke is reached
• In case the sensors have not been enabled, or if you realize
that they do not signal the position to the control unit, you
must send a first START command when leaf 1 reaches its
fully closed position and then a second START command
when leaf 2 completes its closing phase.

CONTROL UNIT CONFIGURATION
This paragraph concerns the step-by-step procedure to set all
operation parameters of City1 control unit. You can either
follow all procedure steps and perform a complete control unit
configuration or select and adjust interesting items only. As for
both cases, you will have to perform the right exit procedure
through item FinE,in order to activate your new configuration.
City1 control unit provides for a self-learning procedure of
working times; therefore, we recommend that you set up a
standard configuration first (see previous paragraph), then you
carry out the self-learning and finally you change any
unsatisfactory items.

Default value loading
The value of all menu items can be brought to a standard value (see
final recap table) by means of only one command. There are two sets
of values available:
AntE Values for a two-leaf gate equipped with a lock.
SCor Values for a one-leaf sliding gate without lock.
After loading default values, the other menu items can be scrolled and
each parameter can be changed; exit from default menu will cause the
automatic selection of the next item.
Leaf 1 opening time
Motor 1 will be operated for the setup time in the opening phase;
in case there is an obstacle or the end of stroke operates, the control
unit can stop the opening phase before the relevant time expires.
Leaf 2 opening time
Motor 2 will be operated for the setup time in the opening phase;
In case there is an obstacle or the end of stroke operates, the control
unit can stop the opening phase before the relevant time expires.
mWARNING: if motor 2 is not connected, this time must be set to
zero; in this circumstance, the control unit will not consider all
configurations of motor 2 and door phase difference times as well.
Partial opening time (pedestrian access)
When the control unit receives a Start Pedestrian command, it will
open leaf 1 only, for a shorter time. Max allowed time to be setup is
t.AP1.
Leaf 1 closing time
Motor 1 will be operated for the setup time in the closing phase;
In case there is an obstacle or the end of stroke operates, the control
unit can stop the opening phase before the relevant time expires.
To avoid that the door does not close completely, we recommend to
setup a longer time than t.AP1 opening time.

ENGLISH
3333
Leaf 2 closing time
Motor 2 will be operated for the setup time in the closing phase;
the control unit can stop the opening phase before the relevant time
expires, in case there is an obstacle or the end of stroke operates.
To avoid that the door does not close completely, we recommend to
setup a longer time than t.AP2 opening time.
Partial closing time (pedestrian access)
When the control unit receives a Start Pedestrian command, it will use
this time to close the gate. Max allowed time to be setup is t.CH1.
To avoid that the door does not close completely, we recommend to
setup a longer time than t.APP opening time.
Opening door delay
During the opening phase, leaf 1 must start moving before leaf 2, to
avoid that both doors may collide. Leaf 2 opening will be delayed for
the setup time.
Closing door delay
During the closing phase, leaf 1 must start moving after leaf 2, to
avoid that both doors may collide. Door 1 closing will be delayed for
the setup time.
Leaf 2 closing time during pedestrian cycle
During a partial opening cycle (pedestrian access) leaf 2 may move
slightly because of the wind or its own weight; in this case at closing
time leaf 1 could hit leaf 2 and the gate would remain not perfectly
closed.
To avoid this, in the last seconds of the cycle a light closing force is
applied to leaf 2 too. If the set time is greater than the time required
to close leaf 1, leaf2 is driven at reduced power all the closing time
long.

ENGLISH

Lock advance time
While the electric lock is energized, the gate will stay standstill for
t.ASE time, to make its release easier.
In case t.ASE is lower than t.SEr, the lock energizing will go on while
the doors will start moving.
mWARNING: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0.
Backlash time
It could be useful to give a closing command to motors, to help the
electric lock release.
The control unit controls the motors in reduced power in closing
direction for the setup time.
The backlash precedes the electric lock release. It is possible to reverse
the order by setting a lock advance time higher then the backlash one.
mWARNING: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0.
Pre-blinking time
Before any gate movement, blinker will be activated for t.PrE time, to
warn about the incoming motion.
Motor 1 power
This menu allows adjusting the motor 1 power.
The displayed value is the percentage of max. motor power.
mWARNING: In case an hydraulic motor is used, set value 100.
Lock time
Before the opening phase begins, the control unit will energize the
electric lock in order to release it and enable the gate motion.
t.SEr time will fix the energizing time.
mWARNING: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0
(‘no’ will appear on display).

ENGLISH

Soft start (slowed down)
In case this function is enabled, during the first seconds of motion of
each door, the control unit will give motors a reduced power
command, for a softer start.
Slowing down time
In case this function is enabled, during the last seconds of motion of
each door, the control unit will give motors a reduced power
command, to avoid a strong impact with the stop end. t.AP1 is the
max. allowed time.
mWARNING:
• In case the self-learning function of working times is NOT used, we
recommend disabling the slowing down function in order to
measure both opening and closing times, and to enable it again once
the setup has been carried out. The control unit will automatically
consider the working time delay caused by the slowing down.
• If partial opening time t.APP is shorter than t.AP1, there will be no
slowing down during the pedestrian cycle opening.
Fast closing time after slowing down
If a slowing time other than 0 is set up, it could be likely that the gate
speed is not enough for the lock to fasten during the closing phase.
In case this function is enabled, once the slowing down phase is
finished, the control unit will give a normal speed command (that is to
say,with no slowing down) for the set up time, and then it will open
the gate for a second fraction, to avoid leaving the motor under stress.
mWARNING: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0.
Start off
When the gate is standstill and it begins moving, the initial inertia
must be faced, therefore, if your gate is quite heavy, its doors could
not move.
In case the SPUn (pickup) function is activated, for the first 2 seconds
of motion of each door, the control unit will ignore both Pot1 and Pot2
values and it will give motors the maximum power command in order
to overcome the gate inertia.
Motor 2 power
This menu allows adjusting the motor 2 power.
The displayed value is the percentage of max. motor power.
mWARNING: In case an hydraulic motor is used, set value 100.

This menu allows fixing the control unit conduct in case it receives a
Pedestrian Start command during the partial opening phase.
PAUS The gate stops and goes to pause.
ChiU the gate immediately starts closing.
no the gate goes on with the opening phase (command is ignored).
mWARNING: a Start command in any phase of partial opening will
cause the total opening; the Start Pedestrian command is always
ignored during a total opening.

Blinker during pause time
Blinker usually operates during the gate motion only; however, if this
function is enabled, blinker will be on during the pause time too.
Start input function
This menu allows selecting input operation modes (see paragraph
“Activation inputs”):
StAn Start and Pedestrian Start input standard operation,
according to menu setups.
no Start inputs from terminal board are disabled. Radio inputs
operate in StAn mode.
AP.CH Start impulse always controls the opening phase, Pedestrian
Start always controls the closing phase.
PrES Manned operation; the gate will open as long as the Start
input stays closed and it will close as long as Pedestrian
Start stays closed.
oroL Timer-operation; the gate stays open while the Start input or
Pedestrian Start input is closed; as soon as the contact
opens, the pause count down will start.
Automatic closing
During the automatic operation, the control unit will automatically
close the gate when a set-up time expires.
The Start command, if enabled by St.PA menu, allows closing the gate
before the set up time expires.
In semi-automatic operation, that is to say, if the automatic closing
function is disabled by setting the value to zero ('no' will be displayed),
the gate can be closed through the start command only: in this case,
St.PA menu setup will be ignored.
If the control unit receives a Stop command when the gate is in
pause, it will automatically pass to the semi-automatic operation.
Closing after transit
During the automatic operation, the pause count down starts from the
set up value each time a photocell operates during the pause.
If the photocell operates during the opening time, this time will be
immediately stored as pause time.
This function allows having a fast closing as soon as transit through
the gate is completed, therefore, a time shorter than Ch.AU is
generally used.
Ch.AU will be used when ‘no’ is set up.
As for semi-automatic operation, this function is not active.
Pause after transit
In order to let the gate open for the shortest possible time, it is
possible to stop the gate once the passage before the photocells is
detected. If the automatic working is enabled, the time of the pause is
Ch.tr.
If the photocells are type 1 and type 2, the gate enters the phase of
pause only after the detections before both the photocells.

Photocell 2 input
This menu allows enabling the input for type 2 photocells, that is to
say, photocells non active during the opening phase (see paragraph
“Installation”).
no Input disabled (ignored by the control unit).
No jumper with the common is required.
CF.CH Input enabled even at standstill gate too: the opening
movement does not start if photocell is interrupted.
CH Input enabled for the closing phase only.
Warning: if you select this option, you must disable photocell
test.
Stop Input
This menu permits to select the functions associated to the
command of STOP
.
no The input STOP is not available.
ProS The input STOP stops the gate: pressing the command START
the gate continues the motion.
invE The command STOP stops the gate: at the next START the
gate starts moving in the opposite direction.
NOTE: during the pause, the STOP command will stop the pause time
count, the next START command will always close the gate.
Photocell 1 input
This menu allows enabling the input for type 1 photocells, that is to
say, photocells active both during the opening and closing phase (see
paragraph “Installation”).
no Input disabled (ignored by the control unit).
No jumper with the common is required.
AP.CH Input enabled.
Test of safety devices
In order to achieve a safer operation for the user, the unit performs a
safety devices operational test, before a normal working cycle.
If no operational faults are found, the gate starts moving. Otherwise, it
will stand still and the flashing light will stay onfor 5 sec. The whole
test cycle lasts less than one second.
no function not active
Foto test enabled only for photocells
CoSt test enabled only for safety edges
Ft.Co test enabled either for photocells or for safety edges
mWARNING: The Test of safety devices should be working in order
to grant more safety during installation and programming.
mWARNING: it is possible to test safety edges only if a control
unit specially provided for this function has been installed.

Si Input enabled.
Safety ribbon 2 input
This menu allows enabling the input for type 2 safety ribbon, that is to
say mobile ribbons (see paragraph “Installation”).
no Input disabled (ignored by the control unit).
No jumper with the common is required.
Si Input enabled.
End of Stroke Inputs
City1 control unit allows connecting four mechanical ends of stroke
(normally closed contacts) which are activated by the door motion and
showing to the control unit that each door reached its position of
complete opening or closing.
no End of stroke inputs are disabled.
Si End of stroke inputs are enabled.
Photocell 2 Shadow Zone
In some installations it may occur that the gate door
passes before the photocells, so breaking their beam.
In this case, the gate cannot complete its closing cycle.
Through this function, photocells can be temporarily
disabled, so allowing the door passage. Only those
photocells which are connected to the Photocell type 2
input can be disabled, this function being therefore
activated in the closing phase only.
The door travel, during which photocells are not active,
is measured in seconds from the beginning of the door
1 closing and starting from the max. opening position.
Please comply with the following procedure to setup the
shadow zone limits:
• Completely open the gate with the disabled function,
then activate its closing and see after how many
seconds the photocell operates.
•Set up a slightly lower time into i.ShA menu and a
slightly higher time into F.ShA menu.
• During the time between i.ShA and F.ShA, photocells
(FOTO2) will not be active during the closing phase.
mWARNING: This function is active in case the ends of stroke have been fitted and enabled and if the START IN OPENING has
been disabled.
mWARNING: any improper use of this function may jeopardize the gate safe use. V2 recommends what follows:
• Make use of this function only in case the door passage before the photocells is actually unavoidable.
•Set up the shadow zone limits as tight as possible, complying with the necessary margins to compensate any possible door speed
difference.

Counter viewing
This menu allows viewing the counter of completed
opening cycles and it also enables the final user to
set up the times of service required (see paragraph
“Reading of cycle counter” below).
Obstacle Sensor Enabling
This menu allows the sensitivity adjustment of the obstacle sensor
over 10 levels, from 1 to 10. By setting up “0”, sensors will be
disabled, increasing the value the sensivity increase.
The control unit automatically adjusts the sensor on the most suitable
level, according to each motor set up power.
In case the safety operation is deemed not to be fast enough, the
sensitivity level can be slightly increased.
If the gate stops where no obstacles are present, you should reduce
the sensitivity level.
(See paragraph "Obstacle sensor operation" hereafter).
Max. Gate Quiescent Time
Some types of actuators (hydraulic actuators, mainly) tend to be
loosened after some hours of quiescent time, jeopardizing the gate
mechanical closing.
Such menu allows setting the max. gate quiescent time from 1 to 8
hours. By setting on 0, this function will be disabled.
In case the gate stays quiescent (closed) for a time longer than the
set time, City1 will close the gate for 10 seconds, so restoring an
effective closing.
Anti-skid
When an opening or closing operation is interrupted by a command or
for the intervention of the photocell, the set-up time for the opposite
movement would be excessive, so the control unit operates the
motors only for the time necessary to recover the actually covered
journey. This could be not sufficient, particularly in the case of very
heavy gates, as because of the inertia at the inversion moment the
gate runs an extra space in the previous direction that the control unit
is not able to take into account.
If after an inversion the gate does not return exactly to the starting
position, it is possible to set an anti-skid time that is added to the
time calculated by the control unit in order to recover the inertia.
mWARNING: If function ASM is disabled, the gate goes backward
until it comes to the end stops. In this phase the control unit does not
activate the slow down function before the end stops are reached and
any obstacle that comes across after the inversion is considered as
an end of stroke.

READING OF CYCLE COUNTER
City1 control unit counts the completed opening cycles of the
gate and, if requested, it shows that service is required after a
fixed number of cycles.
There are two counters available:
• A totalizing counter for completed opening cycles that
cannot be zeroed (option “tot” of item “Cont”)
• A downward counter for the number of cycles before the
next request for service (option “SErv” of item “Cont”). This
counter can be programmed according to the desired value.
The side scheme shows how to read the totalizing counter, how
to read the number of cycles before the next service is required
as well as how to program the number of cycles before the
next request for service (as for the example shown, the control
unit completed no. 12451 cycles and there are no. 1322
cycles before the next service request.
Area 1 is the reading of the total number of completed cycles;
through Up and Down keys, you can alternate the display of
thousands or units.
Area 2 is the reading of the number of cycles before the next
request for service: its value is rounded down to the hundreds.
Area 3 is the setup of this latter counter; if you press once UP
or DOWN key, the current counter value will be rounded up or
down to thousands, any following pressure will have the setup
be increased or decreased of 1000 units. The previous
displayed count will get lost.
Signal of service required
As soon as the counter of cycles before the next request for
service is zero, the control unit shows the request for service
through an additional 5-second pre-blinking.
mWARNING: service operations shall be carried out by
qualified staff only. This signal will be repeated at each
opening cycle, until the installer enters into the counter reading
and setup menu, and possibly programs the number of cycles
after which the next service will be requested.
In case no new value is setup (that is to say that the counter
value is left at zero), the signalling function for the service
request will be disabled and no signal will be repeated anymore.
OBSTACLE SENSOR OPERATION
City1 control unit is equipped with a sophisticated system that
allows detecting if there is any obstacle stopping the door
motion. The sensitivity of this system can be adjusted through
the Sens menu: the higher is the setup value, the prompter will
be the control unit intervention if there is any obstacle. If you
set on 0, obstacle detection will be disabled.
mWARNING: apart from any setup sensitivity value, this
system will detect an obstacle only if the door is stopped;
therefore, no obstacle braking the door without stopping it will
be detected. In addition, this system does not work when the
doors moves at slowed down speed.
The control unit reaction in case an obstacle is detected
depends on the t.rAL menu setup and on the moment when
such obstacle is detected.
Slowing down disabled
The door motor on which an obstacle is detected will stop
pushing and, for a second fraction, it will be given the
command to go backwards, so not to keep its gears under
stress. If t.SEr menu is set to ‘no’ (that is to say, no electric
lock) and an obstacle is detected during the last 3 seconds of
the closing phase, there will be no reversal, to allow the gate
completing its closing.
Slowing down enabled
Obstacle detection will be performed only if the door moves at
a normal speed. Both doors will stop and they will be given the
command to go backwards for 3 seconds, to take out the
obstacle detected. The following Start command will let the
former door motion start again. In case the slowing down
phase has already begun, no obstacle will be detected and this
kind of situation cannot be considered as dangerous since the
motor, when working according to its slowing down function, will
push the obstacle with a very low pressure.
