1.3. DESCRIPTION

1.3.1. Terminal boards and connectors

TERMINAL BOARD J1 (low voltage)

OPEN= Open command (N.O.)

Any device (push-button, etc.) which, by closing a contact,

supplies an opening (or closing) pulse to the door.

To install several Open devices, connect N.O. contacts in parallel.

STOP= Stop command (N.C.)

Any device (e.g. a push-button) which, by opening a contact,

stops movement of the door.

To install several stop devices, connect the N.C. contacts in series.

N.B.: if stop devices are not used, jumper connect STOP

to the inputs common contact.

= Inputs common contact/accessories supply negative

pole.

= Accessories supply positive pole (24Vdc 200mA max)

FSW = Closing safety-devices contact (N.C.)

Safety devices are all devices (photocells, sensitive edges,…) with

N.C. contact, which, if there is an obstacle in the area they protect,

operate to reverse door closing movement.

If the safety devices are activated when the door is locked or

open, they prevent it from closing.

To install several safety devices, connect the N.C. contacts in

series.

N.B.: if no safety devices are connected, jumper

connect FSW to the -TX FSW terminal

-TX FSW= Terminal for connection of the negative pole (-) of the

photocells transmitter (TX).

J3 TERMINAL BOARD (high voltage)

Terminal board for connecting 230Vac 50Hz power supply.

J10 TERMINAL BOARD (external antenna)

A terminal board for connecting an external antenna (Optional

item) instead of the supplied standard conductor.

terminal for connecting the shielding of any external antenna.

1.3.2. Programming dip-switches (DS1)

Failsafe

If activated, it enables the photocell operating test before every

movement.

Anti-crushing sensitivity

For doors with an irregular movement, it reduces the sensitivity of

the anti-crushing device to prevent unwanted action by it.

Radio codes programming

If activated, it enables the 531R board to save the radio codes

of the remote controls. (see chapter 4.1).

Speed adjustment

If door movement is too quick or irregular, you can select low

carriage speed.

Terminal Boards and Connectors:

J1 Terminal Board (low voltage):
- OPEN (Open command N.O.): Connects to any device (e.g., push-button) that, by closing a contact, provides an opening (or closing) pulse to the door. For multiple "Open" devices, connect N.O. contacts in parallel.
- STOP (Stop command N.C.): Connects to any device (e.g., push-button) that, by opening a contact, stops the door's movement. For multiple "Stop" devices, connect N.C. contacts in series. If no "Stop" devices are used, jumper connect "STOP" to the "Inputs common" contact.
- Inputs common contact/accessories supply negative pole: This serves as the common ground for inputs and the negative supply for accessories.
- Accessories supply positive pole (24Vdc 200mA max): Provides positive power for accessories.
- FSW (Closing safety-devices contact N.C.): Connects to safety devices (photocells, sensitive edges, etc.) with N.C. contacts. If an obstacle is detected, these devices reverse the door's closing movement. If activated when the door is locked or open, they prevent it from closing. For multiple safety devices, connect N.C. contacts in series.
- N.B.: If no safety devices are connected, jumper connect "FSW" to the "-TX FSW" terminal.
- -TX FSW: Terminal for connecting the negative pole (-) of the photocells transmitter (TX).
J3 Terminal Board (high voltage): Connects to the 230Vac 50Hz power supply.
J10 Terminal Board (external antenna): Connects to an optional external antenna instead of the standard conductor. This terminal also serves for connecting the shielding of any external antenna.

Programming Dip-switches (DS1):

The DS1 dip-switches allow configuration of various functions:

Failsafe (No. 1):
- OFF (Active): Enables the photocell operating test before every movement.
- ON (Inactive): Disables the photocell operating test.
Anti-crushing sensitivity (No. 2):
- OFF (Low): Reduces sensitivity to prevent unwanted action for doors with irregular movement.
- ON (High): Increases sensitivity.
Radio codes programming (No. 3):
- OFF (Inactive): Disables the ability to save radio codes.
- ON (Active): Enables the 531R board to save radio codes from remote controls.
Carriage speed (No. 4):
- OFF (High): Sets high carriage speed.
- ON (Low): Selects low carriage speed if door movement is too quick or irregular.

Input Status LEDs:

The control unit features LEDs to indicate the status of various inputs:

LD1 OPEN Input status:
- Light OFF: Inactive
- Lighted: Active
LD2 STOP input status:
- Light OFF: Active
- Lighted: Inactive
LD3 FSW input status:
- Light OFF: Safety devices tripped
- Lighted: Safety devices disabled

The status when the automated system is stopped and at rest is indicated in bold for each input.

Flashing Light and Pre-flashing:

A flashing light cannot be connected to this operator.

Connections of Safety Devices:

No changes are required for the connection of safety devices. Refer to the main instructions of the 531 EM operator for details.

Radio Codes Programming:

The 531R control board can store up to 10 radio codes. If more remote controls (T4 LC) are added beyond this limit, the oldest radio codes will be overwritten.

Programming Radio Codes from the Board:

Turn DS1 dip-switch No. 3 to the ON position.
The courtesy light will flash rapidly, indicating learning status.
Press the desired key on the remote control for at least 1 second.
The courtesy light will illuminate steadily for 2 seconds, confirming successful code learning.
Repeat step 3 for additional remote controls.
Once learning is complete, turn DS1 dip-switch No. 3 to the OFF position and verify the courtesy light is off.

Programming Radio Codes from the Remote Control:

This procedure can only be activated with remote controls already known to the 531R board.

Press and hold down push-buttons P1 and P2 on the remote control.
The courtesy light will illuminate steadily.
The courtesy light will turn off after 5 seconds.
Release P1 and P2.
Within 10 seconds after the courtesy light turns off, press the desired push-button on the remote control for at least 1 second. This remote control must have been previously programmed and recognized by the 531R board.
The courtesy light will flash rapidly, and the 531R board will enter learning status for 10 seconds. Another radio code must be taught within this time by pressing its key for at least 1 second.
Transmitting a radio code will restart the 10-second countdown, during which the board remains in programming status.
After 10 seconds, the courtesy light will turn off. Restart from step 1.

Deleting Radio Codes:

This procedure deletes all radio codes stored in the memory.

Turn DS1 dip-switch No. 3 to the ON position.
Press and hold down the SET-UP push-button, then press the OPEN push-button for at least 1 second.
Release both push-buttons.
The board will delete all radio codes and automatically return to programming status.
Proceed as from step 1 of chapter 4.1, or turn DS1 dip-switch No. 3 to the OFF position to end the procedure.
