ALLMATIC CSMAM02 Programmable Control Board For Sliding Gates

Introduction

The Single-phase control unit CT INVERTER AM is a device suitable for operating and controlling the sliding gate in a way easy and complete; it is designed in order to satisfy all possible needs. The inverter on board allows to set the maximum torque limits along with the possibility to modify the frequency (the speed of the motor). The possibility to use motors with encoder allows the unit to detect possible obstacles along the run and reverse its direction of motion. It is suitable to command and control automatics accesses with its single-phase motor 230Vac max 1,5KW (current limited to 10A) WITHOUT using a starting condenser. Every control board is equipped with a memory module that stores all personal settings and parameters needed for operating the control board (these data can be transferred from one unit to another one). It is equipped with inputs for self-tested photocells, keys for SS (step-by-step), PED (partial opening), OPEN and CLOSE, switch limits, security stops and a wide display with 3 keys for settings. It is also equipped with a molex connector for a plug-in receiver, output for courtesy and flashing light. It is possible to connect an additional card (R1) to operate an electric lock.

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE CONTROL UNIT WITHOUT READING THE INSTRUCTIONS FIRST!

NOTE: All unused NC inputs must be jumpered with the common.
It is FUNDAMENTAL to connect the motor and the unit to the EARTH in order to operate the control unit correctly!
In case an encoder is applied, it is compulsory to use a shielded cable with the screening connected to the EARTH only by one end of the cable itself.

Collegamenti

LANGUAGE SETTING
It is suggested to select the language before any other operations

Programming Menu

This procedure must be carried out ONLY by the installer and ONLY during the installation of the system.
WARNING: the motor must be still, preferably in closed position, in order to access the programming menu!

Activation and selection of the programming menu
The control unit CT INVERTER AM is equipped with THREE user menus (MENU A, MENU B, MENU C), by which it is possible to regulate, program and modify all functional parameters. Follow the indications on the display during the programming phases.

• MENU A – allows to activate the optional functions and to select the intervention modalities of the security systems.
• MENU B – it is dedicated to the learning of the runs, to the operations related to the manual movement and to the regulation of the control parameters of the motor
• MENU C – menu for auxiliary configurations for user’s support

Some parts of the control unit are subject to dangerous voltages! Pay attention during the phase of manual accessing to the control board

AUTOMATIC EXIT FROM THE MENU: the menu exits automatically in case of long inactivity (longer than 15 seconds).

Programming menu A (key P1)- List of parameters
The following table lists the entries of menu A and reports a short description of the parameters that can be adjusted; refer to paragraph ADVANCED FUNCTIONS for more details.

Programming menu B (key P2) – List of parameters
The following table lists the entries of menu A and reports a short description of the parameters that can be adjusted; refer to paragraphs dedicated to each function for more information.

Programming menu C (key P3) – List of parameters
The following table lists the entries of menu A and reports a short description of the parameters that can be adjusted; refer to paragraphs dedicated to each function for more information.

Preliminary checks

The preliminary checks must be carried out only by professionals and by paying maximum attention. The correct wiring of the motor and the limit switches is very important for the correct functioning of the automation.

Manual motion (Menu B – Manual movement)

This operation must be carried-out only by qualified personnel and by paying maximum attention. The manual motion is an operation planned only for the phase of installation; it allows to move the gate at a limited speed in both directions.
WARNING: the photocells and the safety edge are not monitored during this phase!

Learning

Learning the run of the gate (Menu B – Final position)
Learning the run allows to define the parameters of the run of the gate, such as the width of the run at normal speed and at slowed speed. Check that the adjustment of the torque and the speed of the gate are set before carrying out the learning phase. Check that the gate is closed before starting the learning phase.

Learning the partial run (Menu B – Ped. Position)
Learning the partial run allows to define the position of partial opening that allows the pedestrians accessing (PED command) Check that the adjustment of the torque and the speed of the gate are set before carrying out the learning phase. Check that the gate is closed before starting the learning phase .

Adjustment of the speed and the torque (Menu B – Speed and torque)

The entries of menu B – Speed and torque – once the parameters themselves are entered allow to adjust the corresponding parameters from a minimum up to a maximum value, according to the indications shown on the display. The versatility of the control board allows an infinity of possible combinations: however it is recommended to adjust the settings by keeping into account the dimensions and weight of the gate. High speeds may be dangerous, as well as high torques. Such regulations must be carried out only by professionals. It is recommended to check the correct functioning of the automation after any regulation. It is highly recommended to learn the runs of the gate each time these parameters are changed.

Advanced functions

These are functions and/or functional modalities that can be activated by the user through the programming menu.

Automatic closing
Timed closing of the gate from totally open position or partial opening position. The “stop” command disables the automatic closing until a new command given by the user is received (S.S., CLOSE, etc).

PhotoAutoReclose
The gate closes 3 seconds after the photocell intervenes in case the gate is in a totally open or in a partial open position.

Motor brake
To be used with motors with a strong inertia and the necessity to quickly stop the automation. Pay attention as the mechanics must be sized accordingly.
OFF: Brake disabled

1. Electronic braking function
2. Activation of the contact on the auxiliary card for an external brake, active with still motor
3. Activation of the contact on the auxiliary card for an external brake, active when motor is moving

Dead Man
The motor moves only with permanent a command and not with just impulses: the motor opens if the key “open” is kept pressed, and the opposite operation applies with the key “close”. WARNING: this modality forbids all operations of automatic motion!

Condominium
All commands given via radio or by step-by-step and/or a partial opening keys involve only the opening of the gate. The closing is related to the function of automatic closing, which MUST BE ABSOLUTELY ACTIVATED since every command of closing is ignored.

Inv. On photocells
Allows to set if, once the photocell beam is interrupted, the gate must reverse immediately (only in closing) or just after the removal of the obstacle (it applies both in opening and in closing)

Photocell test
This control unit is equipped with a function that allows to control the proper functioning of photocells before any operation of the motor is made. The security of the system is therefore higher in case the photo-device breaks down (for example, if the relay of exit is stuck) or there is a undesired short circuit on the input of the photocells. The control board indicates a possible fault by flashing only once when any key is pressed and also by not moving at all. This check is made after the control board receives a command to move, but before the control board itself gives power to the motor.

Edge Inv.
Allows to set if, once the safety edge alarms itself, the gate must stop or it must stop and then reverse (applies only in the phase of closing)

Edge Test
Functional test of the safety edge. Connect the safety edge as shown in the instructions by using the photocell test’s clamp.

Pre-flashing
This function commands a blinking BEFORE each movement in order to indicate the imminent movement itself.

Zone light
There is the possibility to use the auxiliary output as a courtesy light or as a light zone (always lit-on as long as the gate is open).

Auxiliary light timeout
There is the possibility to set the delay of switching off of the auxiliary light after the automation stops.

Clock function
Input OPEN becomes input clock in case it is possible to connect a timer for the programmed opening of the automation. The contact is understood as a command to opening and to stay open as long as this status stays closed. When the contact is opened, then the unit reset its normal functioning, waiting for a command given by the user (if the automatic closing is required, then it must be enabled from the menu).

Water hammer in opening
If the automation is equipped with an electronic lock, then it is advisable that, when the gate is closed, the motor shortly operates in closing before it starts the opening phase (water hammer). This function allows to unlock the electronic lock in any case, even when the weather conditions are very bad (for example in case of ice). The activation of this function enables also the electronic lock’s output.

Encoder
If the motor is equipped with a suitable encoder, then it is possible to enable the functionalities of the encoder. In such way the control board does not work any longer “by time” but “with encoder” instead. It is possible to detect the possible blocking of the motor.

Sensor level
If it is enabled, it allows to modify the intervention sensitivity of the “stop motor” sensor. Decrease the value that is set in order to have higher sensitivity. If the sensitivity is too high and the sensor operates without any apparent reason, then increase the value.

Sensor inversion
Allows to define the reaction of the gate in case the “stop motor” sensor applies. If the reversing is not activated, then the gate stops and waits for a new command. If the reversing is activated, then the gate reverses shortly in case the sensor applies during the opening; it open completely in case the sensor applies during the closing phase of the gate.

RESET of the control board (Menu C – Reset)

Reset of the unit according to the display indications; this reset the control board to its factory settings
WARNING: all programming and personal settings must be repeated after the reset of the control board!

Backlighting of the display (Menu C – Display light)
Enter MENU C and follow the instructions shown on the display in order to enable/disable the backlighting of the display itself. The control board operates the function Energy saving which automatically switches off the display after the unit is inactive since some minutes. The backlighting is automatically reactivated (if this function is enabled) when the user operates on the control board.

Housing for radio receiver

The unit disposes of a molex connector to house an ALLMATIC radio receiver. The first channel of the receiver is associated to the wired com-mand S.S., whereas the second radio-channel (if it is present) is associated to wired command PED. Follow the instructions of the receiver itself for learning the transmitters.

Auxiliary output (this output is available only with the additional card R1)
The functioning of the additional card depends on the setting of the parameter “Brake”: Parameter “Brake” OFF-1: A normally open contact is available on the output for the activation of the electronic lock. The electronic lock can be activated by previously enabling the Water Hammer in opening (parameter Water Hammer OP). Parameter “Brake” 2-3: A contact is available on the output for the activation of an external brake.

Correct working
The correct setting of parameter is when you are not able to stop the automation when trying counteracting the movement. The use of safety devices is absolutely necessary to ensure the safety of the automation.

WARNING AND ADVICES
Avoid putting the connection cables of buttons, security devices and inputs close to those of the power supply of the control unit and of the motor. Some parts of the control unit are subject to dangerous voltage. The control unit must be installed and programmed only by qualified professionals. Always use a device that ensures the disconnection of all poles of the control unit’s power supply . This device can be a switch (connected directly to the power supply terminals) with a contact’s minimum distance of 3 mm for each pole, or it can be a device connected to the power network. For connecting the card and the motors we recommend to use cables with double isolation as in compliance to the laws in force; the minimum cross-section of the single conductor must not be less than 1,5 mm² and not more than 2.5mm².
