3.12 Door Sequencer
The ATOM door sequencer allows you to create two entirely independent sequences, which are activated with a switch.
The sequencer includes a special feature in the form of a Pause function. For example, if you use a three-position switch, the
sequence can be paused by moving the switch to the center position. The switch can also be used to halt the sequencer at any
time during the sequence and reverse its direction. The sequence does not have to reach the end before the direction can be
changed.
Another outstanding feature of the sequencer is its two modes. You can set up the sequences to run individually, as is usual, for
example, with a retractable undercarriage, or in loop mode. The latter is particularly useful for scale functions which repeat the
same process.
Each sequence is capable of controlling a maximum of six servos. The travel of each servo can be set separately in two directions
- forward and reverse - with up to seven defined points on its travel. The travel points are freely variable in terms of servo position
and timing.
To set up a sequence, press + in the menu, and the following display appears. The first step is to select a Transmitter control.
The transmitter control can be either a switch or a linear control. In both cases you can set the desired switching points and the
switching direction. Please note that the green range covers the sequencer running forward, the red range the reverse range.
More on this later when we discuss the method of setting travel points.
The Pause function mentioned earlier is active in the yellow range, i.e. the sequence can be paused in the centre position of a
three-position switch.
Once you have defined your transmitter control, press OK to return to the overview. In the next step you select your preferred
mode:
• Single Mode
The sequence runs either forward or back, and stops when the sequence is complete. Select this option, for example, to control
a retractable undercarriage with wheel doors.
