DESCR PT ON OF THE CONTROL UN T
The digital control unit C TY1 is an innovative V2 product that
guarantees a safe and reliable automation of leaf swing or
sliding gates.
C TY1 is provided with a display that, not only makes
programming simple, but also allows a continuous monitoring of
the input statuses; in addition, thanks to a menu structure, the
working schedule and the operation logic can be set easily.
In compliance with the European standards concerning
electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility
(EN 60335-1, EN 50081-1 and EN 50082-1) it has been
equipped with the low voltage circuit total electric insulation
(motors included) from the network voltage.
Other characteristics:
• Automatic control for the null current relay switch.

NSTALLAT ON
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 C TY1-120V) 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 C TY1
control unit.
MOTORS
C TY1 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
CONTROL OF THE CORRECT ORDER OF CLOS NG
LEAVES
If the leaves of the gate overlap during the closing phase, it is
necessary to connect the motor of the leaves that must start first
at the motor 1 terminals, and to arrange the delays (parameters
r.AP and r.Ch) so that collision is avoided.
If the control unit detects a wrong overlap order (leaf 1 gets to
the closing position before leaf 2), the gate is opened a little
again so that it can close correctly.
If the leaves do not overlap (e.g. in a double swing gate) set to
zero the opening door delay parameter in order to disable the
control of the right closing order.
WARN NG (US NG HYDRAUL C 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 CONFI URATION”,
paying particular attention to the points where the procedure
to be followed in case of disabled obstacle sensor is
described.
WARN NG:
• 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.
BL NKER
C TY1 control unit provides for a 230V 40W (120V – 40W for
model C TY1-120V) blinker equipped with intermittence inside.
Connect blinker cables to terminals 22 and 23 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.
C TY1 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 8and 11 of the control unit.
Use outputs having normally closed contact.
WARN NG:
• 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 R BBONS
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. The direction of the gate at
next command of START or PEDESTRIAN START depends
upon the parameter STOP (it inverts or continues the
motion). If the input STOP is disabled, the command makes
the motion continue in the same 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. The direction of the gate at next command of
START or PEDESTRIAN START depends upon the parameter
STOP (it inverts or continues the motion). If the input STOP
is disabled, the command makes the motion continue in the
same direction.
Connect type 1 safety ribbons cables between terminals 9and 11
of the control unit.
Connect type 2 safety ribbons cables between terminals 10 and
11 of the control unit.
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.
WARN NG:
• Make use of safety ribbons having outputs with normally
close contact.
• Outputs of same kind safety ribbons must be connected in
series.
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.
END OF STROKE
C TY1 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:
• opening end of stroke in door 1 between terminal 12 and 16.
• closing end of stroke in door 1 between terminal 13 and 16.
• opening end of stroke in door 2 between terminal 14 and 16.
• closing end of stroke in door 2 between terminal 15 and 16.
ENCODER (only for C TY1-ECD)
With CITY1-ECD, you can use encoder-equipped motors to
control the exact position of the gates. Furthermore, the encoders
allow you to detect if the gate panels jam in an improper position
due to obstacles.
For encoder operation, when in the closed position, both gate
panels must rest against a mechanical stop. Each time the
controller is turned on the gate is closed until the gate panels
touch the mechanical stop in order to realign the encoders.
The limit switch input terminals are used for the encoder
connection. For this reason limit switches and encoders cannot be
connected at the same time.
Connect the encoder signal cables for Motor 1 on terminals 14
and 15.
Connect the encoder signal cables for Motor 2 on terminals 12
and 13.
Connect the negative power supply pole for both encoders to
terminal 16.
Connect the positive power supply pole for both encoders to
terminal 17.
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).

ENGL SH
29
Connect the stop switch cables between terminal 5and 6of 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). The command STOP from remote is operative also
if the input STOP of the terminal board is disabled.
ACT VAT ON NPUTS
C TY1 control unit is equipped with two activation inputs, whose
operation depends on the programmed operation modes (see
Strt item 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 3and 6of the control unit.
Connect cables of device controlling the second input between
terminals 4and 6of 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.
EXTERNAL AER AL
We suggest to use the external aerial (model ANS P433) in order
to guarantee the maximal range.
Connect the antenna hot pole to terminal 1of the control unit
and the braiding to terminal 2.
PLUG N RECE VER
C TY1 control unit is suitable for plugging in a Personal Pass MR1
receiver having a high-sensitivity super-heterodyne architecture.
WARN NG: 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 C TY1 control unit:
• CHANNEL 1 쩚쩚쩛쩛START
• CHANNEL 2 쩚쩚쩛쩛PEDESTRIAN START
• CHANNEL 3 쩚쩚쩛쩛STOP
• CHANNEL 4 쩚쩚쩛쩛OPTIONAL MODULS OUTPUT
WARN NG: Before programming 4 channels and function
logics read carefully the instructions of MR1.
OPT ONAL MODULES
The C TY1 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 OPT ONS.
WARN NG: 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 2.0, 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.
WARN NG: 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
PROGRAMM NG
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.
WARN NG: 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
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,

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, the encoder 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.
Self-learning procedure if there is one motor:
• In case the end of stroke, the encoder or the obstacle
sensor has been enabled, the door will be activated in
closing direction until the stop end or the closing end of
stroke is reached.
• In case NEITHER the ends of stroke OR the obstacle sensor
have been enabled, be sure that the door is completely
closed when the procedure is started up.
• The door 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 START command when the door reaches its
max. opening position.
• The door 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 START command must be sent when the door
reaches its fully closed position.
QU CK CONF GURAT ON
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.
WARN NG: The self-learning procedure must be
performed when the encoder (C TY1-ECD) is to be used.

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.
WARN NG: 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.
CONTROL UN T CONF GURAT ON
This paragraph concerns the step-by-step procedure to set all operation parameters of C TY1 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.
CTY1 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.

ENGL SH

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.
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.
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.
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.
If you set the opening door delay to zero, the control board does not
execute the control of the correct leaves closing order.

ENGL SH
34
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.
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.
WARN NG: 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.
WARN NG: 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.
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.
WARN NG: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0
(‘no’ will appear on display).

Motor 1 power
This menu allows adjusting the motor 1 power.
The displayed value is the percentage of max. motor power.
WARN NG: In case an hydraulic motor is used, set value 100.
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.
WARN NG:
• 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.
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.
WARN NG: In case an hydraulic motor is used, set value 100.

ENGL SH

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.
WARN NG: in case the gate has no electric lock, set the value 0.
Start command during the closing phase
This menu allows fixing the control unit conduct in case it receives a
Start command during the closing phase.
StoP The gate stops and its cycle is considered as finished.

Start command when the gate is open during its pause phase.
ChiU the gate starts closing.
no command is ignored.
Select option ChiU, to set up the “step-by-step” operation logic.
Select option ‘no’, to set up the ‘always open’ operation logic.
Apart from selected option, the start command lets the gate close if it
has been stopped by a stop command or if the automatic closing was
not enabled.
Start command during the opening phase
This menu allows fixing the control unit conduct in case it receives a
Start command during the opening phase.
PAUS The gate stops and goes to pause.

Pedestrian Start during the partial opening phase
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).
WARN NG: 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.
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.

“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.
Stop nput
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.
The setting of parameter STOP determines also in which direction the
gate will move at the next START, if it has stopped because of an
intervention of the safety edges or the obstacle sensor. If you set no, the
START command restarts the motion in the same direction.
NOTE: during the pause, the STOP command will stop the pause time
count, the next START command will always close the gate.

movement does not start if photocell is interrupted.
CHInput enabled for the closing phase only.
Warning: if you select this option, you must disable photocell
test.
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
WARN NG: The Test of safety devices should be working in order
to grant more safety during installation and programming.
WARN NG: it is possible to test safety edges only if a control unit
specially provided for this function has been installed.
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.
WARN NG: This function is active in case the ends of stroke have been fitted and enabled and if the START IN OPENIN has been
disabled.
WARN NG: 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. 39

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, C TY1 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.
WARN NG: 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.
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.

READ NG OF CYCLE COUNTER
C TY1 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.
WARN NG: 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 OPERAT ON
C TY1 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.
WARN NG: 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.
