ELECTRONIC INSTALLATION

During electronic installation, carefully follow the procedures below.

Initial Wiring

Connect the start contact, common contact, and pedestrian contact according to the instructions provided.

Connection Terminals

Connect the control devices to the designated terminals on the control unit:

  • Terminal 1 and 2 for key, selector, or start button.
  • Terminal 2 and 3 for the pedestrian passage.
  • Terminal 4, 5, 6, and 7 for photocells and other safety devices.
  • Terminal 11 and 12 for powering additional devices.
  • Terminals for connecting the motor, courtesy light, and flashing light.
  • Terminals for mains power and grounding.

Dip Switch

Configure the dip switches based on specific requirements:

  • Dip 1 (sliding gate use): Off.
  • Dip 2 (automatic closing): enabled/disabled selection.
  • Dip 3 (condominium or step-by-step mode).
  • Dip 4 (motor position left/right), reverses movement phases.
  • Dip 5-7 (safety control: photocells, mechanical edge, slowdown).
  • Dip 8 (encoder enabled).
  • Dip 9-10 (advanced configuration for optimized and specific operation).
