1 – INTRODUCTION: TECHNICAL FEATURES OF THE

ELECTRONIC SYSTEM

All the parameters of the Triex Connect Dupla control unit can be set

through the PROG programmer (programming tool) in three languages

(Portuguese, English or Spanish) or PPA's BLUE. It can be used on all

models of PPA operators with induction motors.

It is endowed with an EEProm¹ memory that 󰍰ores all codes of the

remote controls in an encrypted form, as well as the control unit

operation parameters, such as the deceleration zone, pause time etc.

The unit control is also compatible to Rolling Code Remote Controls

with PPA's own protocol.

The sy󰍰em can be activated by remote control through a bult-in

radiofrequence receiver, a loose receiver or any other device with a NO

(Normally Open) contact as, for example, a pushbutton.

Triex Connect Dupla is the ideal unit control to be used with a PPA UPS.

It has some features that can reduce the energy consumption when it

is operating o a battery.

The gate position control is achieved through an encoder sy󰍰em

patented by PPA called “Reed Digital”.

2 – CONTROL UNIT

2.1 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

The General Wiring Diagram can be seen below.

2.2 – SYSTEM POWER SUPPLY

The operator mu󰍰 be connected to the power grid through the L and N

inputs on the power terminal block, 110 - 220VAC connector, according

to picture 1.

Warning: The operator is dual voltage (auto range); one has only to

plug it into a 110 / 220V power supply; the utility frequency can be

either 60Hz or 50Hz.

2.3 – INDUCTION MOTOR CONNECTION

The three cables on the induction motor mu󰍰 be connected to the

“MOTOR1” and “MOTOR2” terminal blocks. THERE IS NO CORRECT

COLOR SEQUENCE

. Motor 2 is factory set as the 'delay' motor.

2.4 – CONNECTING THE “ENC1” AND "ENC2" ENCODERS

It is used to connect the encoder, by using a proper cable, between

the motor and the control unit. Inside the operator gearbox there

are sensors that provide the unit control with information about the

movement direction and the position of the gate during the operation.

Such information is essential for the automator's proper operation.

There are two sensors inside the encoder and each one is represented

by the LEDs ECA1, ECB1, ECA1 and ECB2. Each one ashes according to

the corresponding position of the disc.

2.5 – CONNECTING THE “TRV” ELECTROMAGNETIC LOCK

If one decides to use an (optional) electromagnetic lock, one mu󰍰

connect the “Optional Relay Module” to this connector. The control

unit will also recognize the module automatically and a time interval

(used to 󰍰art the opening movement of the operator after activating

the electromagnetic lock) will be added.

2.6 – CONNECTING THE “LUZ” COURTESY LIGHT

If one decides to use courtesy light, one mu󰍰 connect the “Optional

Relay Module” to this connector. By doing so, the operation of the

courtesy light is always enabled.

One mu󰍰 set the desired time through the DIP switch.

2.7 – CONNECTING THE “RX” LOOSE RECEIVER

A loose receiver can be added to the control unit through the “RX”

connector.

Quando um comando é aceito, um LEDCMD (comando) correspondente

é acionado. O Jumper “HRF” deve ser retirado quando o receptor avulso

é adicionado ao si󰍰ema de forma a desligar o receptor incorporado.

CAUTION: Before connecting the optional accessories (Elec-

tromagnetic lock and/or Courtesy Light / Traffic Light (Visual Exit

Annunciator), pushbuttons etc), we strongly recommend testing

the general operation of the product. To do so, send a command

to the operator to start the self-learning cycle.

2.8 – "FOT" CLOSING PHOTOCELL CONNECTION

This is a dedicated input port for the 'closing photocell', which is

a sensor that detects an ob󰍰acle during the gate's closing cycle,

preventing the gate to move if there is an ob󰍰acle along its course. If

there is a blockage during the closing cycle, the operator reverses its

movement to the opposite direction.

The photocells should be in󰍰alled about 50 cm (1.65 ft) above the

ground (in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation), in

such a way that the both the transmitter and the receiver are aligned

between each other. The electrical connections mu󰍰 be as follows:

Terminal block 2: 15V (positive "+");

Terminal block 1: GND (negative "-");

Terminal block 3: FOT (Contact of the Photocell).

2.9 – "FAB" OPENING PHOTOCELL CONNECTION

This is a dedicated input port for the 'opening photocell', which is

a sensor that detects an ob󰍰acle during the gate's opening cycle,

preventing the gate to move if there is an ob󰍰acle along its course.

If there is a blockage during the opening cycle, the operator 󰍰ops

moving.

The photocells should be in󰍰alled about 50 cm (1.65 ft) above the

ground (in accordance with the manufacturer's recommendation), in

such a way that the both the transmitter and the receiver are aligned

between each other. The electrical connections mu󰍰 be as follows:

Terminal block 2: 15V (positive "+");

Terminal block 1: GND (negative "-");

Terminal block 4: FAB (Contact of the Photocell).

CAUTION: This control unit is compatible with any kind of photocell

(Normally Open, Normally Closed or Resistive). In order to set the photo-

cell intended to be used, one must connect all photocells and press the

“RAMPA” (Deceleration zone) button, with all photocell aligned, i.e., with

no obstacle between them. One can also calibrate the photocells by using

the PROG programmer (programming tool). To do so, one must enter the

“Calibration” function and press the “+” button on the device’s keypad.

There are LEDs used for checking the commands by the opening (“FA”)

and closing (“FF”) photocells.

2.10 – CONNECTING THE “BOT” PUSHBUTTON

The control unit acknowledges (recognizes) a pushbutton command

when the BOT Terminal block is connected to the GND, i.e., a pulse

to the GND.

Terminal block 1: GND (Negative "-");

Terminal block 4: BOT (NO Contact).

There is a LED used for checking the pushbutton commands ("BOT").

2.11 – CONNECTING THE “ABR” OPENING-ONLY PUSHBUTTON

The control unit acknowledges an opening command when the "ABR"

Terminal block is connected to the GND, i.e., a pulse to the GND.

Terminal block 1: GND (Negative "-");

Terminal block 5: ABR (NO Contact).

There is a LED used for checking the pushbutton commands ("ABR").

2.12 – CONNECTING THE “FEC” CLOSING-ONLY PUSHBUTTON

The control unit acknowledges a closing command when the "FEC"

Terminal block is connected to the "GND" and then released, i.e., a pulse

to the GND and the the button mu󰍰 be released.

It makes it easier using the control unit in access control sy󰍰ems that

use photocells or inductive loops to automatically close the gate or

automatic barrier.

Terminal block 1: GND (Negative "-");

Terminal block 6: FEC (NO Contact).

There is a LED used for checking the "FEC" terminal block commands.

WARNING

The logic controller provides 15V (400 mA maximum DC Cur-

rent) to power the photocells and receivers. If the devices need

increased voltage or current, using an auxiliary power supply

will be necessary.

2.13 – CONNECTING THE “HIB1” AND "HIB2" LIMIT SWITCH SENSOR

REEDS

The control unit acknowledges a “reed” activated when the pin

corresponding to it on the HIB male pin header is connected to the

GND, i.e., a pulse to the GND.

The only condition to be observed is that the reed corresponding to

the gate open mu󰍰 be connected in such a way that the “RDA1” LED

lights to the motor connector to the "MOTOR1" terminal block, pin of

the connector “HIB” marked with the letter “A”. And the “RDF1” LED

to the motor connected to the "MOTOR1" mu󰍰 light when the gate is

closed, pin of the connector “HIB” marked with the letter “F”. The same

procedure mu󰍰 be carried out to the second motor, connected to the

"MOTOR2" terminal block.

2.14 – “PROG” CONNECTOR

Connector used for communication between the control unit, and the

PROG or BLUE programmers (programming tools).

2.15 – “INFO_UPS” CONNECTOR

This connector is used as the communication between the control

unit and the PPA UPS. With this connection in󰍰alled, the control unit

improves the operation when it is working without power grid supply,

i.e., o the batteries.

Their improvements are:

1 – The control unit reduces the energy consumption when the

motor is switched on; this is accomplished by decreasing the

working speed, reaching up to a 50% decrease;

2 – When the control unit is in Stand-By mode, the gate is either

open or closed, and the motor is switched o, it sends a command

to the UPS to turn the power amplier o and to reduce the

battery consumption, increasing the autonomy in such situations.

With this feature, it is possible to run out of electric energy for

several hours without draining the battery. Only the RF receiver

and the activation commands are powered directly o the battery,

what allows the control unit to receive a command and afterwards

the PPA UPS turns the voltage elevator on and the operator 󰍰arts

operating. This sy󰍰em is patented by PPA.

3 – GATE SYSTEMS' LOGIC FUNCTION

3.1 – FIRST ACTIVATION AFTER INSTALLATION (ACQUIRING / SELF-

LEARNING)

When the inverter is powered for the r󰍰 time, after being in󰍰alled to

the operator, the gate mu󰍰 be on the middle of its travel, and mu󰍰

󰍰art an opening movement after an external command or if the button

“CMD” has been pressed.

If it is a closing movement, open the F/R jumper to change the direction

of operation of the motor. If the F/R jumper is closed again, the direction

of operation returns to the previous one.

That done, press the “CMD” button or send an external command to

the control unit.

Afterwards, let the gate open until it leans on the opening 󰍰opper or

until it activates the 'REEDA'. Then, it will reverse the direction to close;

let it lean on the closing 󰍰opper or activate the 'REEDF'.

WARNING: The gate operator can operate only with ENCODER or

ENCODER plus REED, but cannot operate with REED only. When the

gate is closing during the self-learning, only a photocell command can

reverse the gate movement.

The automatic gate is now ready to operate.

Note: If the swing gate is endowed with a rabbet (metal 󰍰rip to hold one

of the leaves), one mu󰍰 enable a motor delay through PROG. The delay

will be enabled on Motor 2.

3.2 – FROM THE SECOND ACTIVATION ON, WHEN THE CONTROL

UNIT IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY

After the previous operation, the gate will not need to acquire

(memorize) the travel again. It will simply and slowly close after a

command, until it leans on the closing 󰍰opper; the motor will turn itself

o after a couple seconds. The automatic gate is now ready to operate.

In case the photocell beam is ob󰍰ructed or the control unit receives a

command during this r󰍰 closing movement, the reference point to be

sought will be the opening one, in order to accelerate the acquiring of

a known point of the gate's travel.

EEPROM (from Electrically-Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) is a non-volatile

󰏭oring chip used in computers and other electronic devices.
