Resetting the control unit
WL
1. Press the buttons (1 + 2) until the "WL" LED extinguishes.
⇒ "WL" LED off - force values deleted.
2. Press the buttons (1+2).
3. Reset is complete.
⇒ "WL" LED ashes
Learn the force values:
WL
1. Press button (1).
⇒ Gate opens to end switch magnet (end position gate OPEN)
⇒ If the gate does not open, the motor may be incorrectly connected
(see "Connection" page 11)
⇒ "WL" LED ashes.
2. Press button (1).
⇒ Gate closes to end switch magnet (end position gate CLOSED)
⇒ "WL" LED ashes.
3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2.
⇒ The "WL" LED switches on and off - force values have been
learned.
4. Test gate OPEN and CLOSED end positions by opening and closing
the gate. Adjust end positions if necessary until the gate opens and
closes completely
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
Soft running length with gate CLOSED min. 500 mm.
Adjusting the force tolerance
• Shut-off force = learned force + force tolerance
(adjustable with the "Force" potentiometer)
• If the force is not sufcient for opening or closing the gate completely,
increase the force tolerance by rotating the potentiometer clockwise.
• If the setting is changed while the gate is opening or closing, the control
unit imports the setting next time the gate is opened.
• After setting the force tolerance it may be necessary to reset the end
positions.
Checking the force tolerance
ATTENTION!
Rubber safety strips must be used on the main and auxiliary
closing edges. No sliding gate without safety strips may be
used!
⇒ Our program contains various safety strips, both active (triggers an
immediate reversal of the gate at contact) and passive (takes up
part of the inertial mass of the moving gate and causes a reversal
of the operator by the force cut-off). This strip can be ordered from
a SOMMER authorized dealer.
See care and maintenance / regular testing.
Setting the force tolerance to the automatically learned force.
The potentiometer setting is imported again at every start.
• Left stop of potentiometer (-) is the lowest force tolerance,
right stop (+) is the highest tolerance.
Test run:
1. Close the gate.
2. Press button (1) once.
Gate opens to gate OPEN limit position.
3. Press button (1) once.
The door closes up to the limit position door CLOSED.
4. If one of the set gate end positions is not reached (gate OPEN
or CLOSED), the force tolerance must be increased.
5. Turn "Force" potentiometer approx.10 degrees clockwise.
6. Repeat test run until the gate reaches the gate OPEN and CLOSED
end positions.
