4. Installazione

4.1 Montaggio dell'unità di controllo

1. Choose a suitable location: The control unit should be mounted in a dry, protected area, close to the gate motors and power supply, but away from potential mechanical damage or excessive vibration.
2. Ensure adequate ventilation: Allow sufficient space around the unit for heat dissipation.
3. Secure mounting: Use the provided mounting hardware to firmly attach the control unit enclosure to a stable surface (e.g., a wall or post). Ensure it is level.

4.2 collegamenti elettrici

All electrical connections must be made with the main power supply disconnected. Refer to the wiring diagram in Section 5 for detailed connection points.

• Alimentazione principale: Connect the 230 Vac power supply to the designated terminals. Ensure proper grounding.
• Collegamenti motore: Connect the swing gate motor(s) to the motor output terminals. Pay attention to motor direction for opening and closing.
• Dispositivi di sicurezza: Collegare le fotocellule, i bordi di sicurezza e i pulsanti di arresto di emergenza ai rispettivi terminali di ingresso di sicurezza.
• Dispositivi di comando: Connect push buttons, key switches, or radio receivers to the command input terminals.
• Accessori: Connect any optional accessories such as flashing lights or courtesy lights to the auxiliary output terminals.

5. Schema elettrico

A detailed wiring diagram is crucial for correct installation. Due to the specific nature of electrical connections, a generic diagram cannot be provided here. Always refer to the diagram printed inside the control unit's enclosure or the dedicated wiring schematic provided with your specific product package. This diagram will illustrate the precise terminal layout for:

• 230 Vac Main Power Input (L, N, PE)
• Motor 1 and Motor 2 Connections (Common, Open, Close)
• Photocell Inputs (TX, RX, Common)
• Safety Edge Inputs
• Command Inputs (Open, Close, Pedestrian, Stop)
• Flashing Light Output
• Auxiliary Power Outputs (e.g., 24Vdc for accessories)

Note: Ensure all connections are made according to the diagram and local electrical standards. Incorrect wiring can damage the unit or cause safety hazards.

6. Impostazione e configurazione

After completing all electrical connections, the control unit requires initial setup. The exact procedure may vary slightly based on the firmware version, but generally involves:

1. Accensione: Restore main power to the control unit.
2. Controllo della direzione del motore: Manually operate the gate (if possible) or use a temporary command to verify that the motors move in the correct open/close direction. Adjust wiring if necessary.
3. Regolazione del finecorsa: Set the mechanical or electronic limit switches to define the gate's fully open and fully closed positions.
4. Automatic Learning Procedure: Many modern control units feature an auto-learning function. Activate this mode (refer to the unit's specific button/jumper settings) to allow the unit to automatically detect gate travel limits, motor force, and obstacle detection sensitivity.
5. Regolazione dei parametri: Use the onboard display or dip switches to fine-tune parameters such as:
   • Opening/Closing speed
   • Pause time before automatic closing
   • Obstacle detection sensitivity
   • Operating logic (e.g., step-by-step, automatic, condominium)
6. Accoppiamento telecomando: If using remote controls, follow the specific instructions to pair them with the control unit's radio receiver.
7. Dispositivi di sicurezza di prova: Thoroughly test all connected safety devices (photocells, safety edges) to ensure they function correctly and stop/reverse the gate when activated.

7. Azionamento del cancello

Once installed and configured, the gate can be operated using various command devices:

• Telecomando: Press the designated button on your remote control to initiate an open/close cycle or stop the gate.
• Push Button/Key Switch: Activate the external command device to operate the gate.
• Chiusura automatica: If enabled, the gate will automatically close after a set pause time once it has reached the fully open position.
• Safety Interruptions: If photocells or safety edges detect an obstruction during closing, the gate will stop or reverse. During opening, an obstruction may cause the gate to stop.
• Arresto di emergenza: In an emergency, press the emergency stop button (if installed) to immediately halt all gate movement.
• Rilascio manuale: In case of power failure or malfunction, use the manual release mechanism on the gate motors to operate the gate manually. Refer to your motor's specific manual for this procedure.

8. Manutenzione

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your gate automation system. Perform the following checks periodically:

• Mensile:
  • Check photocells: Ensure they are clean and unobstructed. Test their function by breaking the beam while the gate is closing.
  • Inspect safety edges: Verify they are free from damage and activate correctly when pressed.
  • Observe gate movement: Listen for unusual noises, check for smooth operation, and ensure the gate stops correctly at its limits.
• Ogni 6 mesi:
  • Controllare la tenuta e la corrosione di tutti i collegamenti elettrici.
  • Clean the interior of the control unit enclosure, removing dust and insects.
  • Inspect the gate's mechanical components (hinges, wheels, motor mounts) for wear and tear. Lubricate as recommended by the gate manufacturer.
• Ispezione professionale annuale: It is recommended to have a qualified technician inspect the entire automation system annually.

Always disconnect power to the control unit before performing any cleaning or inspection inside the enclosure.
