4. POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION
4.1 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION FOR VERSION
For a better understanding of the connections between the motor and the control unit, follow the diagram FIG. 1 which
shows the function of each wire (different colors) of the low voltage controls cable.
If you do not use a standard Gaposa power cable the electrical motor power supply connection must be made with the
supplied E connector. Be careful to connect the common and the two senses (down and up) in the shown positions. In case
the motor turns in the wrong direction, invert the up/down wires on the E connector or on the external control.
4.2 POWER CONNECTION FOR VERSION
If you do not use a standard Gaposa power cable the electrical motor power supply connection must be made with the
supplied E connector. Be careful to connect the common and the two senses (down and up) in the shown positions. In case
the motor turns in the wrong direction, invert the up/down wires on the E connector or on the external control.
5. ELECTROMECHANICAL CONTROL UNIT
There are many control units suitable to control the SIDONE range. Your choice depends on the automation degree and
type required. For three-phase versions you have the QC3P, the QC03.SA and the QC03+ (multifunction control).
IMPORTANT: SIDONE three-phase motors are suitable for a 3x400V (star) connection.
6. LIMIT SWITCH TYPES AND SETTING
SIDONE can be supplied with different types of switches: mechanical and with absolute encoder.
6.1 FOUR CAMS MECHANICAL LIMIT SWITCH SETTING (FIG. 3)
In the mechanical version the 6 cams send to a control unit the signals necessary to know what is the position of the shut-
ter and execute the various assigned commands accordingly.
The cams function is highlighted by their color: 2 green cams for the principal ones (up and down), 2 red cams for security
and 2 yellow cams for the auxiliary controls.
The use of an external electromechanical control is essential. If the user uses a Gaposa control, he must use the provided
standard signal and power cables. In this case the user has only to insert the connectors into the appropriate sockets on
the limit switch board placed on the gearmotor and on the control. The system, tested at Gaposa, will be ready for use
without the need to operate any change. If you use a non Gaposa control you have to connect the power and signal cables
according to the diagram in FIG. 1.
Check that the motor direction of rotation corresponds to the complementary limit switch, otherwise invert one of the 3
phases of the 3x400 V supply.
For the limit switch adjustment use an Allen key 3 and proceed as follows:
1. Close the door in down limit position, release the A screw of the Down cam, turn the cam till it reaches the microswitch
pin, then tighten the A screw.
2. Tune the setting by the B screw of the Down cam till the microswitch is activated.
3. Open the door till the microswitch is free and then close it again.
4. Check and eventually tune the down limit through the B screw of the Down cam.
5. With the door in its closing position, set the safety down limit switch by releasing the A screw of the safety Down cam
and turning it till it reaches the microswitch pin (but without activating it), then screw it again. The safety limit switch
enables to stop the door, without any damage, in the case that the supply phases are reversed. In case it is activated, the
control unit stops electrically the motor and no operation will be possible until the protection is removed.
6. After having activated the shutter until the upper limit, adjust the Up cam and the safety Up cam in the same way you
have done with the Down and security Down cams.
6.2 ABSOLUTE ENCODER LIMIT SWITCH (FIG. 4)
In the version with absolute encoder such tool is integrated in the limit switch and it is the tool that sends the commands
to the external control. There are no cams but through a telegram of pulses the tool determines and communicates to the
electronic controls what the position of the shutter is and consequently allows to perform the various assigned comman-
ds.
The use of an external electromechanical control is essential.
The data connection cable (with AMP connector) must be inserted in its place on the encoder (L) and at the other end, in
the control unit. Follow the control instructions and use the external electromechanical control panel in order to determi-
ne the up and down limit switch position and of any other auxiliary control.
This limit switch has no microswitches blocking the shutter in case the limits are overcome. The external control panel
will manage the security of the system.
