3) Testing
!
The automation system must be tested by qualified and
expert staff who must establish which tests to perform
depending on the relative risk.
Testing is the most important part of the whole installation phase. Each
single component, e.g. motors, radio receiver, emergency stop, photo-
cells and other safety devices, may require a specific test phase; please
follow the procedures shown in the respective instructions manuals.
Carry out the following procedure in order to test the POA1 control unit,
(the sequence refers to the POA1 control unit with pre-set functions).
• Make sure that the activation of the STEP-BY-STEP input generates
the following sequence of movements: Open, Stop, Close, Stop.
• Make sure that the activation of the AUX input (Type 1 partial open-
ing function) manages the Open, Stop, Close, Stop sequence of
the motor of the upper leaf only, while the motor of the lower leaf
remains in the closed position.
• Perform an opening manoeuvre and check that:
- the gate continues the opening manoeuvre when PHOTO is
engaged.
- the opening manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and only
continues when PHOTO1 is disengaged.
- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO2 (if installed) is engaged and
the closing manoeuvre starts.
4) Diagnostics
The diagnostics LED P2 indicates any problems or malfunctions
revealed by the control unit during the manoeuvre.
A sequence with a certain number of flashes indicates the type of
problem and remains active until the following manoeuvre begins.
The table below summarises this information:
5) Pre-set functions
The POA1 control unit features some programmable functions. After
the search phase these are pre-set in a typical configuration which
satisfies most automatic systems.
These functions can be changed at any time, both before and after
searching, by carrying out the relevant programming procedure (refer
to the "Programmable functions" chapter).
• Motor movement:
• Automatic closing
• Condominium function
• Pre-flashing
6) Programmable functions
To ensure the system is best suited to the user's requirements, and
safe in the various different conditions of use, the POA1 control unit
6.1) Direct programming
• Slow/rapid movement
The user can choose the speed of movement of the gate, at any
time (with the motor arrested) simply by operating the P3 key at any

• Make sure that the motor switches off when the door reaches the
mechanical stop.
• Perform a closing manoeuvre and check that:
- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO is engaged and the opening
manoeuvre starts.
- The manoeuvre stops when PHOTO1 is engaged and the opening
manoeuvre starts when PHOTO1 is disengaged.
- The gate continues the closing manoeuvre when PHOTO2 is engaged.
• Check that the stopping devices connected to the STOP input
immediately stop all movement.
• Check that the level of the obstacle detection system is suitable for
the application.
- During both the opening and the closing manoeuvres, prevent the
leaf from moving by placing an obstacle and check that the
manoeuvre inverts before exceeding the force set down by law.
• Other checks may be required depending on which devices are
connected to the inputs.
If an obstacle is detected as moving in the same direction for 2 consecu-
tive manoeuvres in the same direction, the control unit partially inverts both
motors for just 1 second. At the following command, the leafs begin the open-
ing manoeuvre and the first current sensitivity cut-in for each motor is consid-
ered as a stop during the opening cycle. The same happens when the mains
power supply is switched on: the first command is always an opening manoeu-
vre and the first obstacle is always considered as an open limit switch.
