---|---|---

NOTE WELL: any new setting on the dip-switches controlling gate functions is performed following an open or close pulse.
FORCE SETTING:
** The force is to be adjusted by the dedicated trimmer to a setting sufficient to move the gate.
Before programming, it is advisable to set the force trimmers according to the weight and size of the gate leaf.
Such setting controls also the force developed on the slowdow phase and resistance on impact with an obstacle.
An excessive amount of force against gate inertia implies that the installation may not be in full conformity with the EN 12445 and EN 12453 safety norms. Therefore, once the force to be exerted on the automated gate has been set, the installer is required to assess the forces involved according to the provisions of the EN 12445 and EN 12453 norms documented in the “Safety Norms” manual made available by the company on www.fadini.net**.

FUNCTIONS OF ELPRO 43 CONTROL UNIT| Dip-switcheses and LED indication of the various functions
---|---
AUTOMATIC / SEMIAUTOMATIC:
Automatic cycle: on pulsing an open command, the gate opens, stays open untill dwell time expires asset by the dwell trimmer, then closes automatically.
On transiting through the outer pair of photocells, dwell time is reactivated.
Semiautomatic cycle: on pulsing an open command, the gate opens and stops in open position. A close
pulse is needed for the gate to close.| DIP-SWITCH N° 3:
ON: automatic close
OFF: semiautomatic 3
Dwell trimmer: dwell time can be set from 1 s to 120 s, automatic mode to be selected.
GATE TRAVEL REVERSE ON CONTACT WITH AN OBSTACLE:
A function allowing for the travel direction to be reversed on contact with an obstacle. The sensitivity of this function is proportional to the force exerted by Dardo by the Trimmer Forceduring Travel and during Slowdown. Opening phase: travel direction is reversed allowing for the gate to be cleared of the obstacle. Gate is held stopped waiting for a new command. Closing phase: travel direction is reversed back to the gate stop in open position. N.W.  In case an obstacle is detected for 5 consecutive times during a complete cycle, open-dwell-close, the gate stays open waiting for a command.| Trimmer Force during travel:
it controls the maximum force that Dardo applies to the gate during travel and in
proportion the resistance on obstacle contact. The new setting of force will be performed on the next  open/close/radio command
Trimmer Force during slowdown: it controls the maximum force that Dardo applies to the gate during slwdown phase and in proportion the resistance on obstacle contact.
The new setting of force will be performed on the next  open/close/radio command
RECLOSING ON ENGAGING THE PHOTOCELLS:
in opening and dwell phases ( DIP N° 3 = ON).
This function allows gate auto close after 3 s from crossing the photocells beam.| DIP-SWITCH N° 9:
9 ON: gate auto close after 3 s from crossing the photocells pair
OFF: no auto close after crossing the photocells
DSA: AUTOMATIC ASSESSMENT OF THE PHOTOCELLS STATUS For DAS  (Device for Safety Autotest) control to be enabled, connect only the projectors of the photocells to these terminals and set  Dip N° 10 = ON. Before any gate operation, provided that this function is enabled, Elpro 43 performs a test on all the photocells connected to it to make sure they are free from obstacles and properly working, otherwise the gate is not allowed to start moving.| DIP- SWITCH N° 10:
ON: DSA control enabled
OFF: DSA control disabled 10
OPENING BY EXTERNAL TIME CLOCK:
Connections: parallel connect the NO contact of the time clock to terminals 4 open and 3 common, and set the system to auto close by dip-switch n° 3 = ON. How it works: set the clock to the required opening and closing times. On the pre-set time the gate is opened and held open (the asher goes off), and no more commands (even by radio) are accepted until the closing time pre-set on the clock expires. On expiring, and after the pre-set dwell time, automatic close is performed.| DIP-SWITCH N° 3:
ON: automatic close 3

EXCLUDING GATE LEAF DELAY ON PROGRAMMING

(when it is required that both gate leafs be opened simultaneously and for single gate applications where one motor only is involved).
Once all the electrical connections to the control unit have been properly made (following the instructions included in the box) with all of the safety and command accessories as required, programming can be carried out.
NOTE VERY WELL: all of the green LEDs must be ON, otherwise check the connections with any accessory, mainly the NC contacts of the safety devices installed (contacts of the inner and outer photocells, stop contact, safety edges, …).
PROGRAMMING THE UNIT TO OPERATE ON NO GATE LEAF DELAY MODE

Press and hold the programming button for 5 seconds (until the LP led starts ashing): programming mode is thus accessed.Pulse just once: the LP led light is steady on, wait.
After 10 seconds the LP led light goes off and the gate leaves open simultaneously untill the gate stop is reached in open limit position.

With the gate in the open limit position the LP led goes on with steady light: wait about 10 seconds (do NOT press the button). The LP led goes off and the gate leaves move in close direction until gate stop is reached..

LP led OFF and asher OFF indicate that programming is finished.

Adjust the force and dwell trimmers according to the actual site requirements and type of gate to operate, in full respect of the “the Force Limitation directive in compliance with EN 12453 and EN 12445 norms”.
IMPORTANT: any time force trimmers are readjusted, it is required that programming be made anew.
PROGRAMMING THE UNIT TO OPERATE IN GATE LEAF DELAY MODE (when one gate leaf overlaps the other in closed position) Programming in this way is required when gate leafs overlap eachother, therefore they are to be started later on opening and closing alternatively. Once all the electrical connections to the control unit have been properly made (following the instructions included in the box) with all of the safety and command accessories as required, programming can be carried out.
NOTE VERY WELL: all of the green LEDs must be ON, otherwise check the connections with any accessory, mainly the NC contacts of the safety devices installed (contacts of the inner and outer photocells, stop contact, safety edges, …).

PROGRAMMING THE UNIT TO OPERATE GATE LEAF DELAY MODE

Press and hold the programming button for 5 seconds (until the LP led starts ashing): programming mode is thus accessed.

Pulse just once: the LP led light is steady on Within 10 seconds from the previous pulse, give a second pulse (programming mode gate leaf delay is entered): the led light goes off and the 1st gate leaf (pedestrian) starts opening operated by Dardo connected to M1 block of terminals. Gate delay opening time corresponds to the time elapsing before next step is carried out .

Pulse once: the second gate leaf, the delayed one, starts opening (Dardo connected to M2 terminals). Gate delay opening time corresponds to the time elapsed from the previous pulse.

On both gate leaves reaching gate stops in open limit positions, LP led light is steady on. Pulse once: Dardo M2 gate leaf starts closing. Gate delay closing time corresponds to the time elapsing before next step is carried out.

Pulse once: Dardo M1 gate leaf starts closing.
Gate delay closing time corresponds to the timeelapsed from the previous pulse.

On both gate leaves reaching gate stops in close limit positions, LP led goes off. Programming finished.

Adjust the force and dwell trimmers according to the actual site requirements and type of gate to operate, in full respect of the “the Force Limitation directive in compliance with EN 12453 and EN 12445 norms”.
IMPORTANT: any time force trimmers are readjusted, it is required that programming be made anew.
