6.3 Menu description:
6.3.1 Base settings menu
Auto reclosing time
Active when the gate is in the completely open position, the gate automatically closes after  seconds. In this phase the display shows with the blinking dash, that during the last 10 seconds will be replaced by the count down.

Auto reclosing time after transit
If in the opening phase or in the completely open position the beam of the photocells is obscured and freed, the gate automatically closes after seconds when the completely open position is reached, In this phase the display shows with the blinking dash, that during the last 10 seconds will be replaced by the count down.

Motor torque
Adjust the motor torque to ensure a correct functioning of the gate, it is possible to adjust the percentage of torque between 10% to 100%. After the adjustment of this parameter it is recommended to perform a complete movimentation (opening and closing) to ensure a correct functioning of the gate.

Slowing down mode
The control unit has 2 different type of slowing downs : standard or with higher torque and speed, for heavier gates.

Step by step configuration (SS)

• = 0 Normal (OP-ST-CL-ST-OP-ST…)
  Typical functioning of Step by Step. During the movement a SS command stops the gate.

• = 1 Alternated STOP (OP-ST-CL-OP-ST-CL…)
  Alternated functioning with STOP during the opening. During the opening phase a SS command stops the gate.

• = 2 Alternated (OP-CL-OP-CL…)
  The user cannot stop the gate during the movement with a SS command.
  A SS command during the movement inverts the movement.

• = 3 Condominium – timer
  A SS command only opens the gate. When the gate is completely open, if the command persist the control unit will wait until the opening of the contact before beginning the contdown of the automatic reclosing (if enabled), onother SS command in this phase will restart the contdown of the automatic reclosing.

• = 4 Condominium with immediate auto reclosing

Soft start
The movement begins with reduced torque, used in light gates.

Second wing delay
This is the setting of the delay of the second wing to ensure a correct overlapping of the wings; the delay is the same in opening and closing. If 0 is set the control unit will remove completely the delay. Warning overlapping of the wings.

Amplitude of slowing down
With this parameter it is possible to adjust the amplitude of the slowing down and eventually disable it ( =0). If you need more precise or different slowing down between opening and closing it is possible to set the parameter LSI on P (personalized) and perform an advanced learning of strokes (5.2) providing also the beginning of slowing downs during the learning.

Antislip
This parameter is used if the motor slips, the control unit adds seconds to movimentation to ensure a complete movements of the wings also in the worst condition.

Number of motors
This parameter is used to set the number of motors, the learning operations and the functionality will be modified depending on this parameter.

6.3.2 Advanced menu
Partial opening
Partial opening can be performed only starting from closed. The parameter sets the opening like a percentage of the total stroke of the first wing.

Pre-flashing time
Pre-flashing before each movement in both directions, seconds of pre-flashing

Courtesy light settings
The control unit has 4 different functionings for courtesy light:

• = 0 the light switches off at the end of a movement after seconds
• = 1 open gate light – the light switches off immediately when the gate reaches the closed position

Courtesy light timer
Courtesy light activation timer

Dead man
During dead man functioning mode the gate moves only with a permanent command.
The enabled commands are OPEN and CLOSE. SS and PED are disabled. During dead man functioning all the automatic movements are disabled, like short or total inversions. All safety devices are disabled except for STOP.

Water-hammer in opening phase
This functioning is used with an electrical lock. The gate before opening closes shortly on the mechanical stop with the electrical lock activated, to ensure the correct declutching. The parameter is the time of pressure on the mechanical stop before opening, settable from 0.1s to 10 s.
The sequence done by the control unit before opening is the following:

• preventive activation of the electrical lock [1,5s]. ATTENTION! Necessary enable electrical lock on the advanced menu parameter:
• motor activation in closing with maximum torque. The duration of this phase is setted by the parameter
• inversion of direction with another 2 seconds of activation of the electrical lock. Necessary enable electrical lock on the advanced menu parameter:

Water-hammer in closing phase

• This functioning is used with an electrical lock. When the gate reaches the closing mechanical stop the control unit perform a strong pressure, seconds long, to ensure the locking of the electrical lock. Necessary enable the electrical lock from the advanced menu parameter elm (if used)

Time of pressure in closed position for hydraulic motors
This function is used to keep high the pressure of hydraulic motors, done only with closed gate, the control unit performs 1 minute of closing every minutes to keep high the pressure into the motors and the correct closed position.

. Electrical Lock mode
= 0 disable
= 1 The electrical lock is activated when the automation performs an opening movement.
= 2 The electrical lock is activated when the automation performs an opening movement. In the opening phase it is activated with a safety advance time of 1.5 seconds.
= 3 In case of use of magnetic electric lock, always active when the gate is closed (except when the motor is in pressure in closed position), disable when the gate is not closed.
