F12 RALLY
PHOTOCELL TEST (PHOTOTEST)
During the time programming phase, a test is run to check for the presence and proper functioning of the
photocells.
To enable this type of test the photocell transmitters must be powered through terminals 13-14 of the control unit.
If the presence of photocells is detected during this phase, before each gate movement protected by the device,
the control unit tests proper functioning and if a problem is found (for example, photocells engaged or broken)
the motors are not given the OK for opening or closing.
When the photocells are not present when the times are programmed, the control unit does not run the
phototest, but the photocell contact (terminals 2-3) remains active.
DECELARATION (DIP3)
If DIP3 is ON, the deceleration phases are enabled, respectively in the first and last 3 seconds of each
manoeuvre
ANTI-CRASHING (DIP9)
If DIP9 is OFF, the anti-crushing function is active during the entire gate movement causing, when an obstacle is
found, stopping and restarting of the motion in the opposite direction for 2 seconds. The device is disabled only in the
last seconds of the run time during which any obstacle is considered as a limit switch and hence simply causes
stopping.
EACH TIME AFTER THE CURRENT LIMITERS HAVE CUT IN, THE GATE STOPS AND WAITS FOR A NEW
START COMMAND, WHICH DETERMINES DECELERATED CLOSING (WING2 CLOSES FIRST AND THEN
WING 1).
STOP COMMAND (TERMINALS 4 - 5)
The Stop command is always interpreted as an emergency and immediately stops any operation in progress
until a new Start command is given.
When the Start command arrives, the gate will close in slow motion (wing 2 closes first and then wing 1).
No new commands are accepted during this phase.
CYCLE CONTROL FOR MAINTENANCE REQUEST
SETTING THE NUMBER OF CYCLES
At the end of the programming phase, before setting DIP1 to OFF, it is possible to select the number of cycles after
which the control unit will signal that maintenance is required.
Three different thresholds can be selected by pressing the button P2 (START) on the control unit.
The selected threshold is signalled by means of one or more beeps.
First threshold: 3,000 cycles = 1 beep
Second threshold: 10,000 cycles = 2 beeps
Third threshold: 50,000 cycles = 3 beeps
Maintenance request disabled = 1 long beep
When the number of cycles has been reached, the buzzer will start emitting a continuous sound each time the gate is
moved and the light will remain on permanently when the gate is closed to indicate that the automated device must
undergo the required periodic maintenance.
The buzzer can be disabled by cutting the jumper J1. In this case all the warnings signalled by the buzzer will be
disabled.
