SECTION II PROGRAMMING

IMPORTANT PROGRAMMING NOTE

PROGRAMMING FLOW GUIDE CHART

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE FOR SINGLE-DOOR/GATE OPERATION
Following are the basic programming steps for the AUTOPED operator. Complete these 12 steps before addressing advanced programming requirements.

⚠ Warning: The default setting of this operator is low energy. It is the responsibility of the installing party to adhere to ANSI A156.19 when completing the installation of the operator. If the operator is to be used as a Full Energy system, then all ANSI A156.10 standards and requirements must be met including but not limited to safeties, entrapment devices, etc. If the desired use of the operator is a Full Energy application, contact the manufacturer prior to installation. ⚠

Once power has been supplied or reconnected to the control unit, indicator lights will flash, and the LCD display will light up with the current software version. The following procedure will get the AUTOPED operational with basic programming.
The control unit is password protected! The password is three presses left on the joystick followed by three presses right on the joystick.
(←,←,←,→,→,→)

• Locate the LCD display window and the joystick adjacent to it.
• The joystick can be moved in four (4) directions: Up (↑), Down (↓), Left (←), Right (→)

STEP 1: Screen Orientation The first word to appear on the LCD screen is: “Press Down”. The text will alternate between being right-side up and upside down. Pressing the joystick in the down (↓) direction will set the screen orientation to the direction of the joystick.

• The downward movement of the joystick is in relation to the installer, not the LCD screen. The screen will react and set itself to orientate to the installer.
  STEP 2: Region Selection

• Press the joystick in and then either left or right (←,→) to select “Region USA”
  STEP 3: Rod

• Select the appropriate type:

• STD-PH (standard push arm)

• SLI-PL (optional slide arm pulling configuration)

• SLI-PH (optional slide arm pushing configuration)

• ⚠WIN-PH, DIR-PH, DIR-PL, OHC-PH, and OHC-PL will not be used! ⚠

• Press the toggle in to select the appropriate arm type
  STEP 4: axis

• The D Axis is the distance from the chassis mounted to the header to the centerline of the gate leaf hinge. Measure this distance on the door/gate.

• Toggle left and right to get the correct number in inches and press the joystick in to confirm the selection.

STEP 5: Ao

•  Ao is the angle of opening.
•  The default selection is 95°, toggle left or right to select the desired angle of opening then press the joystick in to confirm the selection.

STEP 6: LowEn

• This is the type of function the operator will work as. The default is “LowEn on”.
• Keep the operator in LowEn on and press the joystick in to confirm the selection.
• The operator is intended to be used in LowEn mode and ANSI 156.19 standards
• (Triangle Warning) If a full energy application is desired, it is the responsibility of the installer to make sure that all safeties, entrapment devices, and overall installation is up to ANSI A156.10 standards and requirements. Contact the manufacturer before using the operator in a full energy application

STEP 7: Width

• Measure the gate leaf from outside edge to outside edge and use the toggle left or right to select the correct width in inches of the gate leaf. Press the joystick in to confirm the selection.
  STEP 8: Weight

• Calculate the approximate weight of the gate leaf.

• Use the joystick either left or right to select the approximate weight in pounds (lbs) of the gate leaf. Press the joystick in to confirm the selection.

STEP 9: Vo

• Vo is the velocity of the opening; this controls the speed at which the gate opens.
• The default setting is 6, use the joystick left and right to select the desired speed. Press the joystick in to confirm the selection.
  a. In LowEn: ON mode, the selection maximum is 9.
  b. In LowEn: Off mode, the selection maximum is 14.
  ⚠ TORXUN recommends setting Vo between 1-3 for initial set up. Once the operation of the gate is confirmed, then the desired speed can be finalized in compliance with ANSI 156.19. ⚠

STEP 10: Vc

• Vc is the Velocity of the closing, this controls the speed at which the gate closes.

• Default is set to 6, use the joystick left and right to select the desired speed. Press the joystick in to confirm the selection.
  a. In LowEn: ON mode, the selection maximum is 9
  b. In LowEn: Off mode, the selection maximum is 14
  ⚠ TORXUN recommends setting Vc between 1-3 for the initial set up. Once the operation of the gate is confirmed, then the desired speed can be finalized in compliance with ANSI 156.19. ⚠
  STEP 11: Invers

• Using the joystick left and right, set Invers to “OFF”. Press the joystick in to confirm the selection.

• Invers refers to configuring the door/gate to open when power is lost. In such rare applications the gate will default (spring) to open and operate to close.

 ⚠ ATTENTION: At this point, clear the area of any persons or objects in the path of the gate to avoid injuries or damages. Proceed to the next step once the path of the gate is clear. ⚠
STEP 12: Teach

• Press the joystick in to move to the next selection.
• “Teach ok?” will appear on the screen
• Press the joystick in again and you will hear beeping as well as see a ten (10) second countdown on the screen.
• Once the countdown ends, the gate will open, pause, and then close while beeping. If no errors occur, the LCD display will display “Done!” with “E11” underneath it.
• E11 requires the gate leaf to go through one more full Open and Close cycle to confirm the settings.

PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE FOR DOUBLE DOOR/GATE OPERATION

⚠ Warning: The default setting of this operator is low energy. It is the responsibility of the installing party to adhere to ANSI A156.19 when completing the installation of the operator. If the operator is to be used as a Full Energy system, then all ANSI A156.10 standards and requirements must be met including but not limited to safeties, entrapment devices, etc. If the desired use of the operator is a Full Energy application, contact the manufacturer prior to installation. ⚠

The AUTOPED is capable of being linked to another AUTOPED and run as a double door/gate. In the double gate mode, you will be able to set the timing for the opening of the gate to be the same or separate depending on the requirements of your application. The functions of the double gate mode are, together, staggered, and interlock.
When both doors are running together, any open command to the slave/secondary door will open both the master gate and the slave/secondary gate at the same time. A command to the master gate will open just the master.

II.3.a DOUBLE DOOR

Setting the double door feature.
STEP 1: Using the joystick, scroll through the Parameter menu until you get to dubleD

• Using the joystick enter the selection and determine if the operator will be either Master A or Slave A.
• Activate the Master AUTOPED first.

STEP 2: Wire between Master and Slave/Secondary Operators

• Wire the Master A gate AUTOPED to the Slave/Secondary A AUTOPED. Run the wire between terminal X117 on each control board.(See Appendix VI.6 for wiring schematic)
• When the CANbus connection is made between the AUTOPED controllers, the master is identified by a small black (m) and the slave by a small black (s) on their respective LCD’s.
• If a CANbus connection does not exist, the master is identified by a small white (m) and the slave by a small white (s).

STEP 3: Vo

• Using the joystick, toggle down to VO (opening speed) and set the desired opening speed

• Each operator can be set independent from each other. It is possible to have two gate leaves move at different speeds if deemed necessary. For example, the master can have a VO of 5 while the slave has a VO of 7.
  STEP 4: AoSeq
  

• Using the joystick in the Master Operator, toggle down to AoSeq.

• AoSeq is the delay angle of the Master before the Slave/Secondary begins its opening sequence.

For example, if you set AoSeq to 20° then the slave operator’s gate will wait until the master gate breaks the 20° mark then it will start to open.

STEP 5: TDelay

• If an electric lock is installed on the gate system, the selection TDelay will function the same way that it would in the normal programming sequence and adjust the amount of time that the gate delays before moving to allow time for the lock to release. For this set up refer to Appendix IV.6 TDelay.

STEP 6: AcSeq

• Using the joystick on the Slave operator, select AcSeq. AcSeq is the delay for the master closing sequence. The default AcSeq setting is 0 degrees. This will work the same way that AoSeq does, allowing a set degree of closure to happen before the master gate starts movement.

II.3.b INTERLOCK/ SALLY PORT/ AIRLOCK

If the gates are interlocking (two gates spaced apart from each other and work together so they are not open at the same time in secure or air lock applications), you will adjust the timing so that one of the gates can either start to open or start to close before the other to the desired coordinated function. When gate A gets an open command, it will block out any inputs to Gate B until Gate A is fully closed. The same is true for gate B. When Gate A is opened, Gate B will not be able to open until Gate A is fully closed.

STEP 1: Wire between Gate A and Gate B Operators

• Wire the Gate A AUTOPED to the Gate B AUTOPED. Run the wire between terminal X117 on each control board.(See Appendix VI.6 for wiring schematic)

STEP 2: InterL

• Make sure that doubleD is off in the Programming menu.
• Using the joystick toggle down to InterL
• Set one control unit to side A and the other to side B
• With the two control units set to interlock A and B respectively, they will work independent of each other but not allow input commands to be activated on one gate until the other has completed its cycle.

ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING OPTIONS

Before completing the installation, install any additional hardware or make further programming adjustments. These may include:
II.4.a Push and Go (when the gate is pushed open a programmable set of degrees, the AUTOPED will take over and open the gate the rest of the way) (See Appendix IV.6 APuGO in the Configuration Menu).
II.4.b Positive Stop (a mechanical option which prevents the gate from being forced beyond 110 degrees to protect the AUTOPED operator) (See Appendix Section II).
II.4.c Closing Spring Preload (adjust the pressure of the door/gate closure to overcome the gate slamming or not fully latching) (See Appendix Section III)

FINAL ADJUSTMENTS and ANSI 156.19 COMPLIANCE STEPS

Make final adjustments to the controller programming and gate operation.

ANSI 156.19 is a safety standard that protects pedestrians when using a low energy automatic door/gate. The AUTOPED is designed so that each installation can comply with this standard.
IMPORTANT
It is the responsibility of the installer to adjust the AUTOPED so that the gate operates in compliance with ANSI 156.19. Each gate is different so adjustments must be made on a gate-by-gate basis. Refer to the ANSI 156.19 standards for the tables that prescribe:

• The speed/velocity of the opening and closing of gate being installed based on its width and weight. Speed is adjusted in the Vo and Vc settings in the Parameters menu.
• The force of the gate when opening and closing. Force is adjusted in the Fo and Fc settings in the Parameters menu.
• Signage – Attach signage(s) to Door/Gate and activation switches as specified by ANSI 156.19

REATTACH THE CONTROL BOX AND OPERATOR FRONT COVER

II.6.a REATTACH PLASTIC COVER OF CONTROL BOX

After the unit has been cycled a few times and your ANSI checklist has been completed, reattach the plastic cover onto the control unit.
Align the gaskets into the cut outs so that they sit flush. Tighten the two provided screws into the threaded sections of the control board.
Give the cover a slight tug to make sure that it is secured properly. ⚠ Do not over tighten the cover. ⚠ Make sure that the grommets are completely seated in the cut outs on both ends and sealed properly within the groove.

II.6.b REATTACH OPERRTOR FRONT COVER

There are two knock outs on the Front Cover that will correspond with the arm coming from the gearbox. Remove the appropriate knock out for the location of the arm and slide the front cover onto the operator. Secure the front cover to the chassis with the four (4) thumb screws.
Tighten the thumb screws by hand until the front cover is secured to the chassis.

CONGRATULATIONS, YOUR INSTALLATION IS NOW COMPLETE!
