Applicazione 3
La centrale che comanda il cancello non è
collegata con la centrale City5.
A riposo i semafori sono accesi sul verde,
per indicare che è possibile accedere al
varco. Quando arriva un veicolo su un lato il
sensore ne rileva la presenza e
immediatamente viene dato il rosso nella
direzione opposta. Quando il veicolo
transita sul sensore opposto il verde
lampeggia per 2 secondi, poi i semafori
diventano rossi in entrambe le direzioni per
20 secondi; infine viene ridato il verde e il
ciclo può ricominciare. Se entro 15 secondi
non viene rilevato il passaggio sul sensore
opposto, il ciclo viene comunque terminato
con lampeggio del verde e tempo minimo di
rosso.
Applicazione 4
Altro esempio di funzionamento
indipendente dalla centrale che comanda il
cancello.
In questo caso a riposo il semaforo è verde
in entrata e rosso in uscita. I veicoli in
entrata possono transitare senza dover
avviare il ciclo. Per transitare in uscita
occorre premere il pulsante o usare un
telecomando memorizzato sul canale 2 del
ricevitore MR1; il semaforo in entrata
lampeggia per 2 secondi, poi viene messo
il rosso in entrambe le direzioni per 10
secondi, per dare tempo ad eventuali
veicoli in entrata di liberare il passaggio.
Quindi i veicoli in uscita hanno 15 secondi
per transitare con il semaforo verde, poi il
verde lampeggia, viene dato nuovamente
tempo per liberare il passaggio e infine
torna il verde in entrata. In questa
configurazione non è possibile il conteggio
dei veicoli presenti all'interno.

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL UNIT
The control unit City5 is an innovative V2 product act to control
the lamps of the lights close to automatic gates with poor
visibility, bent ramps, narrow passages, entrance to car parks
with limited capacity, etc.
The display with which it is equipped allows an easy
programming and the continuous monitoring of the state of the
entrances; its menu structure allows an easy setting of the
length of the switching on of the lights and the operation logics.
The control unit has been studied for an optimal combination
with the control units of the automatic gates produced by V2;
nevertheless, the high flexibility given by the digital
programming allows an easy and efficient combination with any
other control unit end even the “stand-alone” functioning for the
control of the traffic in narrow passages.
The paragraph “Typical employments” at the end of the
handbook shows examples of the most frequent installations
together with suggestions for an optimal programming.
In conformity with the European rules on electrical safety and
electromagnetic compatibility (EN 60335-1, EN 50081-1 e EN
50082-1), City5 digital circuit, main power supply and power
supply of the lamps of the lights are totally insulated.
Other features:
• Power supply of the lamps of the lights independent from the
main one, in order to work also with low tension lamps or
mixed 230V/120V power supply.
•Programmable polarity of the inputs detecting the presence
of vehicles (N.O. or N.C.).
•Alarm input to guarantee the green light in exit in case of
emergency.
• Double output to activate the control unit of the gate (N.O.
and N.C. contact).
•Input for the monitoring of the gate work (opening,stop,
closing).
• Socket to insert the radio receiver (mod. MR1) to operate on
the opening by means of a transmitter indicating the
direction of provenance.
• Input for wired up encoded control devices (digital keypad
TTNC or proximity reader VRD).
• ADI connector (Additional Devices Interface) to add optional
cards and remotely programme the control unit.
•Green and red leds on the card, reproducing the real
situation of the lights for an easy installation and
maintenance of the control unit.
•Calculation of the passed vehicles with the possibility to
block the entrance to other vehicles once reached a
predetermined threshold (parking capacity).
•Function of reservation while approaching in case of green
light on the opposite direction, with possibility of setting the
priority rules in case of request from both the ways at the
same time.
WORKING PHASE
During the standstill phase it is possible to independently set
the conditions of both the lights (off, on fixed or flashing, green
or red light).
The working phase starts when a starting up control is given;
under programming, this can take place in the following ways:
• Presence of a vehicle on the sensor (photocell or
induction loop).
• Request (button) with presence of the vehicle on the sensor.
• Encoded request (digital keypad or proximity reader).
• Properly configured transmitter.
• Programming wheel (installer test).
Once received the starting up control, a start signal is given to
the central driving the gate. The phases are the following:
1 Warning flashing. Where the way has been required, the red
light flashes until all-clear because the other way is green or
the gate not yet open (only V2 control units) or the minimum
time not yet passed. This function can be disabled: in this
case, the lights are fixed on red until all-clear
2Time of passing. In the active way the lights are fixed on red.
This time can have a fixed length or stop when registered the
passage of the vehicle on the sensor at the opposite way of
the gate.
3 Flashing of phase end. In the active way the lights are
flashing green, in the other fixed red. Its length can be fixed
or disabled
4Minimum red time. In both the ways the red is fixed for a
minimum time before allowing the starting up of another
phase. It can coincide with the closing time of the gate (only
V2 control units) or have a fixed length.
During the phase, the vehicles in transit through the active way
are counted and the number of the vehicle inside the car park
memorized. When the number of the vehicles inside reaches
the given threshold, the entering starting up controls are
disabled until places are cleared (function disabled by default).
Under the programming,the counting of the vehicles in transit
can take place when the entrance sensor in the active way is
cleared or at the moment of the starting up of the sensor on
the opposite way.
WARNING:
As the counting of vehicles is rather approximate, there can be
differences between the measured vehicles and the ones really
inside. For this reason, the counting can be adjusted at any
moment.

ENGLISH
22
INSTALLATION
The control unit, the lights, the devices to measure the
presence of vehicles and all the accessories have to be
installed when the power supply is disconnected.
CONTROL UNIT POWER SUPPLY
The control unit power supply must be 230V-50 Hz (120V-
50/60 Hz for City5-120V) protected with a differential
automatic breaker under security rules.
mWARNING:
Should different power supplies be used on the control unit and
on the lights, pay a great attention to not mistake the power
supply terminals.
Connect the power supply cables to the C.U.Power: on the
control unit City5 the terminals are red and marked 230VAC, on
the City5-120V the terminals are black and marked 120VAC.
LAMPS OF THE LIGHTS
On the control unit City5 two groups of lights can be
connected, one incoming and one outgoing. Each group of lights
is made by a green lamp and a red one, connected by means of
3 wires (one for each lamp and a return wire). The power supply
of the lights can be different from the control unit one and must
be protected in conformity of security rules. Connect the power
supply wires of the lamps to the terminals W1 - W2 of the
control unit City5 (green terminals).
Connect the lamps to the terminal board “Z” as follows:
•Red light wire of the incoming group to terminal Z6
•Return wire of the incoming group to terminal Z5
•Green light wire of the incoming group to terminal Z4
• Red light wire of the outgoing group to terminal Z3
• Return wire of the outgoing group to terminal Z2
•Green light wire of the outgoing group to terminal Z1
INTERFACE WITH THE CONTROL UNIT
OF THE GATE
The control unit City5 can “communicate” with the gate control
unit to give the opening control and synchronize the switch on
of the lamps with the gate motion. This connection requires the
terminal board “G”.
mWARNING:
The synchronization of the lamps with the gate motion can be
made only with V2 control units equipped with output for
Warning Light.
mWARNING:
To make it work properly with the control unit City5, the gate
control unit must work automatically (time locking) and the
starting up control enabled only during the locking of the gate
and cause the opening of the gate itself. Alternatively, use a
control unit with separate opening and locking controls.
Connect the warning light output terminals of the control unit of
the V2 gate to the terminals G6 and G7 of the control unit
City5.
Connect the earth of the control unit of the gate to the terminal
G4 of the control unit City5.
Should the control unit of the gate have an input pulse
activated, connect this input to the terminal G5 of the control
unit City5 (if required a N.C. control use terminal G3); should
the control unit have separated locking and opening controls,
connect the opening control to terminal G5 and the locking
control to terminal G3.
PRESENCE AND CONTROL DEVICES
The terminal board “M” of the control unit City5 is made to be
connected to the following control devices:
Devices for the presence of vehicles:
They can be photocells or induction loops and interface with the
control unit by means of a normally closed contact opening at
the transit of a vehicle or a normally open one closing at the
transit of a vehicle.
It is necessary to install a device to measure the presence
outside the gate to recognize the arrival of incoming vehicles
and the transit of outgoing vehicles and one inside the gate to
recognize the arrival of outgoing vehicles and the transit of the
incoming ones.

ENGLISH
23
mWARNING:
These devices must be different and independent from
photocells or other devices in use to protect the moving area of
the gate. It is forbidden to parallel connect the same device on
the control unit City5 and on the control unit of the gate.
Connect the output of the device of measurement of the
presence of vehicles installed on the outer side between
terminals M2 and M3 of the control unit.
Connect the output of the device of measurement of the
presence of vehicles installed on the inner side between
terminals M5 and M6.
Starting up devices by contact
These can be switches or key selectors and interface with the
control unit by means of a normally open contact. It is possible
to connect a starting up device outside the gate and one
inside.
Connect the output of the starting up device installed on the
outer side between terminals M1 and M3 of the control unit.
Connect the output of the starting up device installed on the
inner side between terminals M4 and M6 of the control unit.
mWARNING:
The starting up of the phase subsequent to the closing of the
starting up contact is subject to the contemporaneous
measurement of a vehicle on the same side of the gate. It is
possible an independent starting up installing a diode with the
cathode on terminal M1 and the anode on terminal M2 for the
outer side and with the cathode on terminal M4 and the anode
on terminal M5 for the inner side, provided that the devices of
measurement of presence work with normally open contact.
Encoded starting up devices
They can be proximity readers or digital keypads sending a
Personal Pass code through open collector output
mWARNING:
To let those devices work it is necessary to install the
connecting receiver MR1, on which the codes enabled to start
up the phase are stored.
The procedure to store the cable access devices is the same
used for the transmitters. In this case, instead of transmitting
by remote control, the proximity reader VRD is started up by a
VTR personal proximity key or a VCR card, while using a TTCN
keypad a starting up code is typed in.
Connect the output of the starting up device to the terminal M8
of the control unit and the earth to terminal M9.
Alarm switch
It's a device with normally closed contact meant to signal
emergencies during which the lights must give outgoing all-clear.
During the emergency,a starting up control is given at regular
intervals to the control unit driving the gate, to make sure that
the gate is always open. The alarm input is disabled by default,
therefore it is not necessary to jumper the terminals when this
function is not used.
Connect the alarm device output between terminals M7 and M9
of the control unit.

ENGLISH
24
Power supply of the accessories
The power supply of all the accessories such as photocells,
proximity readers, cable keypads etc. is 24VAC or 24VDC.
The terminals are protected by an electronic fuse cutting off the
current in case of overload and connecting automatically when
the overload is disconnected.
Connect the power supply wires of the accessories needing
alternate current between terminals M11 and M12 of the
control unit.
For the accessories needing direct current, connect the positive
pole to terminal M10 and the negative to terminal M12.
PLUG-IN RECEIVER
The control unit City5 is arranged for the clutch of a super
heterodyne high sensitivity receiver MR1
mWARNING:
Before making any of the following operations disconnect the
control unit. Pay the greatest attention to the side of the clutch
of the plug-ins.
The 4 channels of the receiver unit MR1 control the following
operations:
CHANNEL 1 rt Starting up of an incoming phase
CHANNEL 2 rt Starting up of an outgoing phase
CHANNEL 3 rt break of the phase (at rest)
CHANNEL 4 rt “Start” to the control unit of the gate
(without starting up of the phase)
mWARNING:
To store the 4 channels and the working logics carefully read
the instruction given with the receiver MR1
OUTDOOR ANTENNA
We suggest to use the outdoor antenna ANS433 or ANSGP433
to guarantee the maximum range.
Connect the central contact of the antenna to terminal G2 of
the control unit and the shield to terminal G1.
INTERFACE
The ADI (Additional Devices Interface) interface of the control
unit City5 allows the connection with V2 ELETTRONICA optional
modules. See V2 ELETTRONICA catalogue to see the ones
fitting this control unit.
mWARNING:
To connect the optional modules, carefully read the instruction
given with each module.
CONTROL PANEL
When the power supply is given, the control unit controls the
correct working of the display switching on all the segments and
arrows for 1,5 s. 8.8.8.8. During the following 1,5 s the
firmware version, e.g. Pr 1.0,is displayed.
At the end of this test the control panel is displayed:

ENGLISH
25
The control panel shows the state of the contacts of the
terminal board “M” and of the programming wheel: if the upper
vertical segment is on, the contact is closed; if the lower
vertical segment is on, the contact is open (the picture shows
the case of the inputs INCOMING STARTING UP, INCOMING
PRESENCE, OUTGOING STARTING UP, OUTGOING PRESENCE,
ALARM properly connected and the sensors of presence have a
N.C. output)
The dots among the ciphers show the state of the programming
wheel: when the wheel is pushed downwards the dot on the left
is on (DOWN), when the wheel is pushed upwards the dot on
the right is on (UP), when the wheel is pressed the central dot
is on (MENU).
The arrows on the left of the display show the active way. When
the incoming phase is started up the upper arrow is on, when
the outgoing phase is started up the lower arrow is on.
The arrows on the right of the display show the state of the
gate:
mWARNING:
The indication of the state of the gate is possible only with V2
control units equipped with output for Warning Light
•The upper arrow is on when the gate is opening
• The central arrow shows that the gate is at rest
• The lower arrow lights up when the gate is closing
USE OF THE PROGRAMMING WHEEL
The programming of the functions and time of the central is
made by means of a specific configuration menu accessible by
means of the programming wheel and in which it is possible to
move around thanks to the same programming wheel.
mWARNING:
Outside the configuration menu, pushing the wheel downwards
the incoming starting up phase is set off, while pushing
upwards an outgoing starting up phase is set off.
To put into operation the programming mode while the control
panel is displayed, press and keep pressed the wheel until
written dEF.
The configuration menu consists in a list of configurable items;
the display shows the selected item; pushing the wheel
downwards the following item is selected, pushing the wheel
upwards the previous item is selected. Pressing the wheel the
current value of the selected item is displayed and it is
possible to change it, if necessary.
The last item of the menu (FinE) allows the storage of the
changes made and to revert to the normal working of the
control unit. In order not to loose the own configuration it is
compulsory exiting through this menu item.
mWARNING:
If no operations are required for more then a minute, the
control unit exits from the programming mode without saving
the given information and changes will be lost.
Keeping the wheel pushed downwards the configuration menu
items are quickly scrolled down until displayed the item FinE.
Likewise, keeping the wheel pushed upwards the items are
quickly scrolled down backwards until reached the item dEF.
Like this, the beginning or the end of the list can be reached
quickly.
The menus are three:
•Function menu
• Time menu
• Value menu
Setting the function menu:
The function menus allow to choose a function in a group of
possible options. Entering a menu, it is displayed the active
function; pushing the programming wheel upwards or
downwards it is possible to scroll down the available options.
The displayed option is started up pressing the wheel; after
this, back to the configuration menu.
Setting the time menu:
The time menus allow to set the length of a function. Entering a
menu, the active function is displayed (format ss.d”). Pushing
the wheel upwards the value increases, pushing it downwards it
decreases. In some menus the value to be set is limited to
19.9”: the variation here is a tenth of second; in other menus
the value is limited to 99.5”: the variation here is a half
second.
Keeping the wheel upwards the time increases quickly,until
reached its maximum. Likewise, keeping the wheel downwards
the time decreases quickly,until reached 0.0”.
In some cases, the 0 value means disabling the function: in
this case, instead of 0.0” it is displayed “no” Pressing the
wheel the displayed value is confirmed; after this, back to the
configuration menu.
Setting value menu
The value menus are like the time ones, but the given value is
any number.
CONFIGURATION OF THE CONTROL UNIT:
This paragraph shows step by step the configuration procedure
of all the function criteria of the control unit City5.
It is possible to wholly configure the control unit, following all
the steps of the procedure, or select the interested items. In
both the cases, in order to make the configuration work it is
necessary to follow the correct exit procedure by means of the
item FinE.

ENGLISH
26
Loading of default values:
The value of all the items can be set to a standard value (see table at
the end) with only one control.
Select the item Si to load the default values.
After loading the default values, it is possible to scroll down the other
items on the menu and change each parameter; exiting the default
menu, the first following item is automatically selected.
Light on at rest on the outer side
Through this menu it is possible to set the state of the lights when no
phases are active, neither incoming nor outgoing.
SPEn outer lights off
vErd green light on fixed
roSS red light on fixed
Light on at rest on the inner side
Through this menu it is possible to set the state of the lights when no
phases are active, neither incoming nor outgoing.
SPEn outer lights off
vErd green light on fixed
roSS red light on fixed
Automatic starting up on the outer side
By this menu it is possible to set the starting up mode of the incoming
phase through signal on terminal M1:
no the phase is started up if a control arrives on the terminal M1
while the sensor of presence is active
Si the phase is started up when the sensor indicates the
presence of a vehicle

ENGLISH
27
Automatic starting up on the inner side
By this menu it is possible to set the starting up mode of the incoming
phase through signal on terminal M4:
no the phase is started up if a control arrives on the terminal M4
while the sensor of presence is active
Si the phase is started up when the sensor indicates the
presence of a vehicle
Calculation of the transiting vehicles
This menu allows to set the mode of calculation of the incoming and
outgoing vehicles:
Si the vehicles are calculated when passing on the sensor of
presence placed on the side opposite to the arrival one;
no the vehicles are calculated as soon as the sensor of presence
placed on the arrival side is cleared.
Polarity of the sensor of presence
Thanks to this menu it is possible to use the control unit with sensors
of presence of any kind.
Set the item n.C if the sensor output is normally closed and opens in
presence of a vehicle.
Set the item n.A if the sensor output is normally open and closes in
presence of a vehicle.
Length of time necessary to signal the presence
Through this menu it is possible to set how long the signal of the
sensor of presence needs to be active in order to recognize the
presence of a vehicle. Like this, it is possible to filter wrong signals
given by pedestrians, animals, leaves, etc.
Time necessary to signal the transit
Similar to t.PrE to recognize the transit through the sensor on the
opposite side.
Generally it is better to set a t.PAS time lower then t.PrE.

ENGLISH

Direction with right of way
This menu allows to set the way to which give the all-clear in case of
vehicles on both the sides:
no green is given to the first vehicle on the sensor of presence
USC green is always given to the outgoing vehicle
inGr green is always given to the incoming vehicle
Time of pre-flashing of the red
Before giving the green in the active direction, the red light flashes for
this minimum given time. The red light flashes all the time of the
opening of the gate long, if the item i.SCA is active and when the
request is made while the phase is started up in the opposite
direction.
If set no, green is given immediately when possible, otherwise the red
fixed light is on.
Time of green
The green fixed light is on during the time set through this item. The
calculation of the time is initialised each time the sensor of presence
in the active direction is activated: this guarantees the same time of
green to the following vehicles.
If the item trAn is on, the time of green is broken off in advance when
all the vehicles on the sensor on the incoming way have transited on
the sensor on the opposite side.
Time of flashing of the green
A flashing period of the set length signalises when the green light is
about to go out. If set “no”, after the green light, the red one is
immediately on.

ENGLISH

Minimum time of the red
When the green light goes out in a way, a minimum time of red on the
other way before meeting a transit request is guaranteed. If set the
time “zero”, the green on the opposite way follows immediately the
green on a way. For safety reasons, V2 recommends never to set the a
zero time.
Enabling of the warning light of open gate
If this item is enabled, the control unit City5 synchronizes the
switching on of the lights with the gate motion, therefore:
•The green light is on only when the gate is open at rest
• When the gate starts closing, the green light flashes for the time
t.LvE, even if the time of green is not yet up.
• Unless the previous case, while the gate is in motion the red light is
on in both the ways: if the item t.Lro is not set on “no”, in the
active way the red light is flashing during the opening of the gate
mWARNING: This function can be started up only if the control
unit of the gate is a V2 central equipped with output for warning light.
Mode to send the start control on the control unit
of the gate
This item allows to set the criterion of activation of the relay sending
the start signal to the control unit of the gate. When the control is
active the terminal G3 (N.O.) is short-circuited with the terminal G4,
while the terminal G5 (N.C.) is open.
Mon a control pulse is given each time recognized the request of
starting up of the phase in any way
no the relay is never started up
biSt the control is kept active during the pre-flashing phase of the
red and until given the green light in a way
The control is started up also when the radio receiver MR1 indicates a
remote control stored on channel 4 and when there is an emergency
(see item i.ALL).
Enabling of the alarm input
The input alarm (normally closed) of the control unit City5 allows to
guarantee the outgoing green light in case of emergency.
By this item it is possible to set the criterion to rule this input.
no the input is disabled (it is no necessary to jumper)
biSt as soon as the input is active the situation is of emergency;
stopped the alarm the control unit gets back to its normal
working
Mon once recognized the state of alarm, the control unit does not
get back to its normal working: it is necessary to disconnect
When in a state of alarm, the control unit keeps the gate open: if the
item C.Cen is set on Mon, pulses are sent at regular intervals, if set
on biSt, the output control is kept active.

Car park capacity
The control unit City5 keeps count of the vehicles inside the car park
by difference between the incoming vehicles and the outgoing ones.
This menu allows to set a threshold, which, once reached, blocks the
incoming green light.
If set on 0, it is always possible to enter the car park regardless of the
vehicles inside.
Display state
This menu allows to set what displayed at rest and at the moment of
the transit of a vehicle:
inPu the control panel is always displayed
trAn generally the control panel is displayed, but when transiting a
vehicle the number of vehicles inside the car park is displayed
for 2 seconds
Cont the number of vehicles inside the car park is constantly
displayed
Number of vehicles inside the car park
By this menu, it is possible to see the difference between the incoming
vehicles and the outgoing ones, that is the supposed number of
vehicles inside the car park. If the displayed value does not coincide
with the real number, it is possible to change the value manually.

TYPICAL EMPLOYMENTS
The high flexibility of the control unit City5 makes it suitable to different situations.
For this reason, it is not possible to give a starting standard configuration to be adapted with few adjustments, as each situation may
need particular settings. The following paragraphs show some typical employments using a suitable configuration which can be a
starting point for similar installations. Note: the tabs contain only the most important parameters suitable for that kind of employment.
Employment 1
Gate driven by a control unit not equipped
with output for warning light
At rest, the traffic lights are on fixed on red,
because the state of the gate is unknown.
The pre-flashing time of the red light has to
be set in order to coincide with the opening
time of the gate.
Once started up the phase, the succession
green, flashing green and minimum time of
red have a fixed length, independent from
the state of the gate.

Employment 3
The control unit driving the gate is not
connected with the control unit City5
At rest, the traffic lights are fixed on green
to indicate that it is possible to enter the
passage. When a vehicle arrives on a way,
the sensor registers its presence and
immediately the red is given to the opposite
direction. When the vehicle passes on the
opposite sensor the green light flashes for
2 seconds, then the traffic lights become
red in both the ways for 20 seconds;
eventually, the green is given and the phase
can start again. If within 15 seconds there
is no transit on the opposite sensor, the
phase is ended with flashing of the green
and minimum time of red.
Employment 4
Other example of working independent from
the control unit driving the gate
In this case, at rest the traffic light is green
incoming and red outgoing. The incoming
vehicles can pass without starting up the
phase. To go out it is necessary to press
the button or use the remote control stored
on the channel 2 of the receiver MR1; the
incoming traffic light flashes for 2 seconds,
then the red is on in both the ways for 10
seconds to allow the transit of incoming
vehicles and clear the passage. The
outgoing vehicles have 15 seconds to
transit with green light, then the green light
flashes giving the time to clear the passage
and eventually the incoming green is on.
With this configuration it is not possible to
count the vehicles inside the car park.
