POWER, RELAYS AND EXTERNAL DOOR SIGNALS

Fig 4: 3D Controller Left-Side connections

C

Consult the following wiring examples to connect the 3D controller with the different connections.
RELAY CONNECTION EXAMPLE:
The relay is used to stop the door closing of the elevator.

EXTERNAL SIGNALS WIRING EXAMPLES

CONNECTION TYPE A: DOOR OPENING/ CLOSING CONNECTION TYPE B: DOOR OPENING/ CLOSING ATTENTION:

Status & Config
The display home screen shows real-time status of connected devices (3D Sensor and 2D light curtains). Digit meanings for each device is explained below:

• ‘r’ = running;
•  ‘x’ = off;
•  ‘+’ = linked, but not working;
•  ‘-‘ = not linked

Input Status:

• During the closing of the doors you will see on the display the letter “C” on the top right meaning that the controller is receiving a signal on the D/C pin.
• During the opening of the doors you will see on the display the letter “O” on the top right meaning that the controller is receiving a signal on the D/O pin.

ATTENTION:
If the door closing signal remains active during the run you should not set the shut-off option to disabled: choose the option Shut-off by Timer, and set a timer based on the time it takes for the doors to close. Alternatively use the external signal option and connect the magnetic switch.
You can check current configuration on 3D-Controller by option Display -> Info -> Config. The lefthand side of the display shows configuration, the format is as follows:

Digit

| Setting|

Meaning

---|---|---
1| 2D Enable| ‘2’= 2D enabled, ‘ ‘= 2D disabled
2| 3D Enable| ‘3’= 3D Standard Mode, ‘s’= 3D Smart Mode, ‘ ‘= 3D disabled
3| 3D Mode| ‘a’= Always ON, ‘c’= On Closing, ‘5’= ON 5s, 1= ON 10s, ‘2’= ON 20s
4| 3D Position| ‘C’= center, ‘R’= right, ‘L’= left
5| Opening-Size| ‘S’= small, ‘M’= medium, ‘L’= large
6| Shut-Off 3D| ‘ ‘= disabled, ‘e’= external sign., ‘t’= timer
7| Rel2 function| ‘m’= copy main, ‘f’=fault, ‘n’= nudging, ‘ ‘= disabled

The right-hand side shows devices status (according to the order: 2D Receiver, 2D Transmitter, 3D Sensor).

3D MODES

3D Sensor Work Mode:

Standard| any movement in any direction within the defined area is detected by 3D Sensor which commands a reopening of the door.
---|---
Smart| only approaching movement is recognized by 3D sensor, cross-traffic is ignored.

Work Mode Configuration Settings:

On at Closing| 3D detection will be activated when doors begin to close. 3D system will allow up to three consecutive 3D triggers (this parameter can be changed by 3D Settings -> Count), then it will be deactivated. 2D detection resets the count. Anyway, 3D detection turns off with falling edge of Closing signal or according to option: 3D Settings -> Shut-Off 3D if it is enabled.
---|---
ON (5s)| 3D detection will be activated when doors have reached their fully- opened position. When 3D target is detected, a timer of 5 seconds starts and doors remain open until 2D trigger. If timer expires without 2D target is detected, 3D Sensor is switched off and the doors are allowed to close with an intermittent beep sounding as a warning. This beep will occur regardless of the beeper setting. If there is a 2D trigger at any time, the timer will be cleared. Count option is enabled.
ON (10s)| This is the same as ON (5s) but the timer is set to 10 seconds.
ON (20s)| This is the same as ON (5s) but the timer is set to 20 seconds.
Always ON| 3D detection will be activated when doors have reached their fully-opened position and remains operative until the falling edge of Closing Signal or according to option: 3D Settings -> Shut-Off 3D if it is enabled. There is no timer in this mode, count option is enabled.

FIRMWARE UPDATE

To update the software version for both the sensor and the controller you will need a microSD inserted in the microSD slot on the 3D Controller: Consult the programming menu and the image under.You can verify the software version of the controller at the startup. Otherwise you can check the version of the display from the menu “Software”.
Durning the boot of the device you can press “UP” and “DW” buttons to enter the Firmware Update menu, this is a useful command to use in case of a problematic during the data memorization of the device.
IMPORTANT:
The display will show if there is a microSD present in the reserved Slot by showing a “S” in the top right corner of the display.

CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

ATTENTION:
THE 3D SENSOR IS NOT WATERPROOF
The sensor can deteriorate or not work correctly if scratched or damaged. Avoid using inappropriate cleaning materials such as corrosive or abrasive cloths to avoid this.
The sensor may be wiped using a lightly dampened cloth.’
