3. SAFETY DEVICES CONNECTIONS
Entrapment protection To comply with the UL325 standard for gate operators every entrapment zone, as defined in ASTMF2200, must be protected by two independent entrapment protection devices. One of the devices is inherent in the E024U control boards design, the other can be external, like a photocell or an edge sensor. See this picture for the photocells positioning:

Closing Safety Devices Opening Safety Devices

Opening Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate opening movement, and are suitable for protecting the area between the opening leaves and fixed obstacles (walls, etc) against the risk of entrapment
Closing Safety Devices:
Are active only during the gate closing movement, and are suitable for protecting the closing area against the risk of entrapment.
Monitored Devices:
Additionaly the UL325 standard requires that every external entrapment protection device must be monitored for presence and correct operation. To comply with this requirement the E024U control board uses the FAILSAFE function. This function tests the photocells before each movement of the operator. In case the test fails the movement is inhibited. This function is enabled by default on the Closing Safety Input and can be enabled on the Opening Safety Input using dip-switch 12 of DS1 ON.
The power supply negative of the transmitter must be connected to the OUT pin (No.9).
See Fig. A6, A7, A8, A10 for wiring examples.

Opening/Closing Safety Devices:
They operate during the gate opening and closing movements and are suitable to protect the opening and closing areas against the risk of impact. Typically these photocells work in combination with other monitored photocell protecting closing or opening entrapment zones. In that case they can’t be monitored so they can only protect against potential impact on vehicles.

The opening of leaf 2 is delayed after the opening of leaf 1. This is to avoid the gate leafs interfering with each other during the initial part of the movement. In case there is only one leaf it has no effect.
If active, before opening, while the gate is closed, the motors thrust to close for 2 s to facilitate the release of the electric lock. At closing the motors are activated for a final stroke after slowdown to facilitate locking of the electric lock.
With this fuction active the motors work at maximum force at startup (regardless of the force setting) during the initial phase of the movement. Useful for heavy leaves
If active and with the optional backup battery installed, the board will open the gate after one minute from the power failure and keep it open. Within the minute wait it’s always possible to open and close the gate with a command. If the logic used has a pause time the board will close the gate when the power comes back.

With this function you can choose the behavior of the closing safety. With SW8 OFF the gate movement will be reversed as soon as the safety is active, with SW8 ON the gate will stop when the safety is active and it will reverse only when the safety is deactivated.
Selects the behavior of the shadow loop function of the Shadow Loop or Loop Detectors Interface accessories. OFF: The shadow loop input is active only before a closing command, ignored in any other conditions ON: The shadow loop input is active before a closing and before an opening command. If an open command is given and the shadow loop input is engaged the open command will be ignored even after the shadow loop input goes inactive. NOTE: On the first power up of the board an open command will be always executed (even if the shadow loop is engaged), but at reduced speed.
Selects the behavior of the LOCK output: OFF: The lock output can drive a maglock or a strike lock (see DS2) ON: The lock output indicates the gate status or drives a warning light (see DS2)
Selects the behavior of the 24V accessory voltage during battery mode: OFF: The accessory voltage and BUS input are turned off in battery backup mode ON: The accessory voltage and BUS input are always active even in battery backup mode

– Verify that the operator manual release is not engaged – Verify that the board recognizes the mechanical stop, in case redo the setup procedure – Verify that the gates slow down before reaching the positive stops. If they don’t then redo the setup procedure

6. TIME LEARNING (SET-UP)
After powering up the board for the first time or when the board will need it the setup LED will blink at a slow frequency to indicate that the setup procedure to learn the running times is needed.
The setup can be redone at any time by pressing and holding the setup button as indicated below. The setup cannot be done until the safeties and stop inputs are wired.

FCC2 both leafs stop and leaf 1 restarts automatically opening at full speed followed by leaf 2 (if present).
7. If you selected an automatic logic the board will wait for the pause time and then closes the gate automatically. Otherwise you have to give an OPEN command to close the gate.

After the setup first movement, if the leafs are opening instead of closing you need to reverse the wires going to the motor that moves in the wrong direction
AUTOMATIC TIME LEARNING
WARNING: If the time learning setup is done automatically then the slow down points are set by the board on his own

WARNING: If the manual time learning setup is done then the slow down points must be set by the installer during the procedure. Slow down is required for proper operation.
Move the leafs to the mid position Very important for a good result

Move the leafs to the mid position Very important for a good result
1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the SETUP LED lights up, wait about 3 sec. until it turns off and then release it immediately. NOTE: If you wait too long to release it the manual set-up will start. The LED will blink during the setup procedure
2. Leaf 2 (if present) starts to move slowly in closing direction, stopping when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2.
3. Leaf 1 begins to move slowly in closing direction, stopping when it reaches the mechanical stop, or FCC1.
4. Leaf 1 starts to move slowly in opening direction, followed
by leaf 2 (if present) still slowly.
5. When they both reach the open mechanical stop or FCA1 and FCA2 they stop and reverse, leaf 2 (if present) automatically starts closing at full speed followed by leaf 1.
6. When they reach the close mechanical stop or FCC1 and

1. Press and hold the SETUP button until the SETUP LED lights up, keep it pressed for about 3 sec. until it turns off and keep it pressed more until the leaf 2 (if present) starts moving slowly. The LED will blink during the setup procedure
2. Leaf 2 will move in closing direction until it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2
3. Leaf 1 starts moving slowly until it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC1
4. Leaf 1 starts moving in opening direction at the set speed (trimmer speed).
5. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 1 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCA1.
6. Leaf 2 starts moving in opening direction at the set speed (trimmer speed)

19

7. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 2 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCA2.
8. Leaf 2 starts to close at the set speed (trimmer speed). 9. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an
OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. The leaf 2 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC2. 10. Leaf 1 starts to close at the set speed (trimmer speed). 11. At the point where you want the slowdown to start give an OPEN A command with the push button or the remote that is already stored in memory. Leaf 1 starts to slow down and stops when it reaches the mechanical stop or FCC1. 12. The manual time learning procedure is complete.
After time learning test the gate to set the force, speed and sensitivity using the trimmers.
1. Apply resistance to the gate and adjust the Force to make sure that the operator creates enough thrust to reliably move the leaf.
2. Set the desired speed. Keep the speed relatively low on big and heavier gates.
3. After Force and Speed are set to the desired settings adjust the Sensitivity so the gate reverses promptly after hitting a rigid object.
4. After all the adjustments are done perform setup again.
7. OBSTACLE DETECTION
The obstacle detection function is achieved by controlling the current absorption and / or through the encoder connected to the motors. If the gate encounters an obstacle during the movement of opening or closing, the obstacle detection function is activated and the operator reverses the direction of the gate. In case of a second consecutive obstacle the operator stops the gate right away and any further command is inhibited. To re-enable the automation, you must remove power (and disconnect batteries if present) or open the STOP contact input. The Audio Alarm output will be active until this “reset”.

This is a more detailed description of what happens after an obstacle detection: Gate opening, obstacle detected: The gate reverses partially (for 3 sec.) and STOPS. After that the gate is in a halfway position or completely closed.
If an open_A command is received, the gate tries to open from the current position: · If there is another obstacle detection: the gate stops
completely, the alarm goes off · If the gate reaches the open position: the obstructions
count is reset, the gate returns to normal operations
Gate closing, obstacle detected: The gate reverses partially (for 3 sec.) and STOPS. After that the gate is in a halfway position or completely open.
If an open_A command is received in NON Automatic mode · if the gate was not completely open: execute an open · if the gate was completely open: execute a close
If an open_A command is received in Automatic mode: · if the gate was not completely open: execute an open,
wait for the pause time and then closes. · if the gate was completely open: reload the pausetime,
and then closes
If there is another obstacle detection: the gate stops completely, the alarm goes off. If the gate reaches the close position: the obstructions count is reset, the gate returns to normal operations

AC POWER GUIDELINES: THE E024U control board and power supply uses a single phase AC power line to operate, charge the batteries, and power gate accessories. Use the following guidelines when installing the AC power: 1. Check the local wiring codes in all cases and follow all local building codes. Wiring and hookup should be performed by a qualified electrician/installer only. 2. AC power should be supplied from a circuit breaker panel and must have its own dedicated circuit breaker. This supply must include a green ground conductor. 3. Use copper conductor wires with liquid tight flexible conduit UL listed for electric cable protection 4. Properly ground the gate operator to minimize or prevent damage from power surges and/or lightning. Use a grounding rod if necessary. A surge suppressor is recommended for additional protection.

INSTALLING THE INTERFACE 1. Turn power OFF 2. Plug in the XIB interface to the 2EASY connector on the
E024U board 3. Wire the shadow loop detector NC output to the CL input
on the XIB board as in figure below 4. Connect Common from loop detector to GND (terminal
6) on E024U 5. If no second open safety device is present jump out the
OP input on XIB board to GND (terminal 6) on the E024U 6. Wire the encoder (if needed) to J2 7. Refer to Fig. A11 for the wiring schematic 8. Turn power back ON 9. Press and release the SW1 button quickly. The board will
recognize that the XIB board has been removed
10. Re-program run time if needed.

REMOVING THE INTERFACE 1. Turn power OFF 2. Unplug the board and remove the wiring 3. Move the encoder wires (if present) to the 2EASY con-
nector on the board 4. Turn power back ON 5. Verify that leaf 1 & 2 lights on the encoder are correct 6. Press and release the SW1 button quickly. The board will
recognize that the XIB board has been removed 7. Re-program run time if needed.
NOTE: · Do not connect the shadow loop detector in series with
regular closing safety devices. · If the E024U board doesn’t have the correct software
installed the shadow loop will act as a normal closing safety, detecting also the gate itself and not allowing the closing movement to complete. Please contact technical support for assistance in that case.
SECOND OPEN SAFETY INPUT The OP input on the XIB board can be used as a second monitored open safety input. When open safety monitoring is turned ON on the E024U board (Dip SW 12 ON) the OP input on the XIB (J3 OP) is monitored and can be used to protect an entrapment zone. See Fig. A12a/b for the connections. In case only one opening safey input is needed and the XIB board is present connect the opening safey photocell to FSW OP on the E024U and J3 OP on the XIB in parallel. See Fig. A13a/b for the connections.

LOOP DETECTORS INTERFACE (p/n 2670.1)
The Loop Detector Interface allows connection of up to three plug-in detectors associated with standard functions. The board is designed to fit in the FAAC standard 16″ x 14″ enclosure on the existing DIN rail. To connect the interface board: 1) Connect the 2EASY BUS from the E024U to the interface board (no polarity) – Green Wires 2) Connect pin 8 on the E024U board (+24V) to the +24 input on the interface board – Red Wire 3) Connect pin 7 on the E024U board (GND) to the GND input on the interface board – Black Wire 4) Connect the loops to the interface board as in the figure below

Turn the power on on the E024U board. The LED on the interface board will blink briefly and then will stay ON solid if the BUS connection is working correctly.
IMPORTANT: Briefly press the SW1 button on the E024U board to make it aware of the presence of the additional interface board.
To make sure the board is working properly you can check the behaviour of BUS LED on the E024U board. It will be normally on when none of the loop detectors is active. If any of the detectors is activated the LED will turn off.
