door manually, these lines must rotate smoothly and evenly. The boxes they form will rotate counterclockwise when the door is
opening (just like the drive pulley, as viewed from the gear drive side), and clockwise when the door is closing. To exit the
encoder test, press RESET. Note that the door will not respond to any actuate inputs when in the encoder test mode.
Q2-2
Is there a way to manually cycle the door without using a jumper wire?
A2-2
Yes. Any time that the toggle switch input is active and the door is ready to run, the DOWN button is configured to
simulate a detector input. You may also set the ct option to cycle test the door repetitively if desired. Furthermore, if the door
was latched open by the pull chain input (LA is showing on the display), the DOWN button will switch from latched open to
delay mode and allow normal closing after delay d1.

QUESTIONS ABOUT LOCKS AND DOOR LOCKING
***
Q3-1
I
want to add a lock. What should I do?
A3-1
Locks are supported in a variety of ways in the C2150. You may use Horton's standard locks for S2001 operators,
magnetic locks, a bi-stable (two coil) lock, or even a screw-bolt type lock. If a standard Horton S2001 lock is to be used, put it
into connector CN4 on the control and force a complete learn cycle by holding down the SET button while momentarily pressing
RESET (or powering up). The control will automatically determine the lock type, and the display will momentarily flash SE if the
lock is fail-secure, or SA if it's fail-safe. The control will then do its full "learn" cycle and save the updated configuration.
Q3-2
Is there an advantage to using Horton's lock?
A3-2
Our standard locks for belt-drive operators have extra circuitry to reduce lock coil heating and energy consumption.
This extends lock life. The extra circuitry located on the lock assembly reduces lock energy consumption by about 90%.
Q3-3
If I add a magnetic or other non-Horton lock, how do I do it?
A3-3
You will need two parts - a Horton C3881 relay module, which supplies dry contacts for the lock, and a C3981 intercon-
necting lace. Horton recommends using an external transformer to power your lock. Wire the lock and its power supply in series
with the appropriate relay contact (typically, you will use the "normally closed" or NC contact for magnetic locks, and the
"normally open" or NO contact for bolt locks). You must set the LL option to on so the control knows that a lock is present, and
also set the UL (Unmonitored Lock) option to ON
since the lock doesn't have a monitor switch. The control will insert a fixed 3/4-
second delay to allow the lock to clear before it attempts to open the door. During this delay, UL will display.
Q3-4
What about Horton's C9910 brake lock?
A3-4
Although the C2150 control with Version 3 software also supports the C9910 brake lock, this style of lock will
not
retrofit
mechanically to Horton's S2001 gear drive and cannot be used.
Q3-5
Is there a way to tell the control that it now has a lock without losing all of my preset speeds, check point,
options, etc.?
A3-5
Yes, if you've already set other parameters and don't want to lose this information, look up the lock parameters LL, SA,
UL, and dL, and set them manually for the type of lock you're using. For Horton's standard fail-secure autolock in a S2001
header, only parameter LL will be
ON.
Don't forget to do a data save after you change the parameters!!! (See Q1-5)
Q3-6
I added a lock, and the door binds up against it.
A3-6
You forgot to tell the control that it now has a lock to deal with. Refer to question 3-5 above and re-configure the
control.
Q3-7
My door binds against its lock, and I get a OF on the display.
A3-7
This means "Unlock Failure." The control knows that a lock is present, but cannot release it for some reason. Check for
mechanical binding in the lock mechanism, or for a disconnected cable to the lock. If the lock is in fact releasing, but you still get
a OF error, check the lock monitor switch to be sure that it's tripping when the lock releases. Also be sure that the UL option is
set to ON
if
your lock doesn't have a monitor switch.
Q3-8
My customer wants a bi-stable (two-coil) lock. Is this possible?
A3-8
Yes - although Horton does not recommend bi-stable locks, the control will support them. Consult Horton to order the
proper kit for this type of lock before installation. Set both option parameters LL and bL to
ON.
Note that bi-stable locks
must
have a monitor switch for proper operation. Also note that the control
nn
determine the presence of a bi-stable lock on
power-up; you must manually set this option. Finally, fail-safe and fail-secure have no meaning for a bi-stable lock, so the SA
parameter does nothing.
Q3-9
My door has both a battery pack and a lock, and I have the PF parameter set for power fail close. Will the door
lock after closing?
A3-9
It
depends on the lock type. If you have a fail-secure or a bi-stable lock, the door will always lock after closing; a fail-
safe type will leave the door unlocked after closing. Magnetic locks obviously are fail-safe and will leave the door unlocked,
since there's no power to operate the electromagnet.
Q3-10
I have an inexpensive lock, and it buzzes (or burns out!) If the door Is latched open for
extended periods.
What
can I do?
A3-10
Find the LO (Lock Open) option and turn it ON.
This drops the lock when the door is latched open and prevents this
problem. When the door is unlatched to close, it will first re-energize the lock, then start closing.
