6.8 Check direction (0400)

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Check direction (0400) - 1

INFORMATION

The motor direction must be checked during initial commissioning to allow the OPEN/CLOSE buttons to be correctly assigned.
This step is an important part of initial commissioning. All following steps are based on this.
This requires the door to be in an approximately central position between the end positions to allow sufficient travel distance for checking the motor direction. If this menu item is selected, the door can only be moved with the ↑ button in the housing cover. The ↑ button must be pressed and held pressed until the movement is automatically limited by the control unit (approx. 1 sec.). If the direction of movement of the door is in the OPEN direction, this must be confirmed with the STOP button. If the direction of movement of the door is in the CLOSE direction, the ↓ button for incorrect motor direction must be pressed. The control unit again offers the option of moving the door in the OPEN direction with the ↑ button and changed door direction. Confirm with the STOP button.

6.11 Overrun correction

The control unit is equipped with automatic position correction. If the door run-on time changes, e.g. as a result of temperature fluctuations, changes in the spring tension of sectional doors or binding as a result of mechanical damage, the control unit automatically corrects the stopping distance to the defined position value.

The first correction takes place in the first 2 to 3 complete door cycles after setting the end positions.

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Overrun correction - 1

INFORMATION

The end position is intentionally not reached during the first movement after setting the end positions!

6.12 Adjust pre end position switch (0650)

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Adjust pre end position switch (0650) - 1

INFORMATION

▶ DIN EN 12453 allows the closing edge to be blanked in an area max. 50 mm above the ground or switching from "Stop Emergency Reverse" to "Stop only". It is essential to comply with the requirements of this standard.

The optical safety edges are blanked in this area, whilst the 8.2 KΩ safety edges are switched to "STOP ONLY." The test is enabled for the safety contact strips with air wave switches. After crossing the pre-end position switch, the control unit expects a signal from the air wave switch within a specified time window. This requires the door with the safety contact strip to be in contact with the ground.

6.13 Adjust security limit switch (0680)

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Adjust security limit switch (0680) - 1

INFORMATION

The security limit switches are a redundant safety device for the standard limit and end position switches. If the standard limit and end position switches are crossed, the system is stopped by the security limit switches.
If the security limit switches have tripped, the door stops. The system must be moved back to the normal limit and end position switch area in stutter mode. The error is then automatically corrected.

6.23 Error messages

The control unit is self-monitoring and partially self-healing. This means that it detects errors (including errors in connected devices) and shows them on the LC display. Depending on the severity of the error, the display is automatically reset after correction of the error or must be manually reset as directed.

All errors and events that affect the safety of the system are logged with date and time. They can be viewed in the Service menu under "Event history."

Special features:

If loop 1 is actuated before loop 2, the signal output for loop 2 is blocked until both loops are free again.

If loop 2 is actuated before loop 1, the signal output for loop 1 is blocked until both loops are free again.

8.7 DIP switch 8 (sensitivity increase)

Switch Effect

OFF Normal sensitivity
ON Loop sensitivity is increased.This mode of operation allows high vehicles (lorries) to be correctly recognised over their entire length

Testing sensitivity

The recommended sensitivity can be displayed using the LED display.

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Testing sensitivity - 1

NOTE

▶ After the second step, one of the LEDs starts flashing. The frequency of the flashing must be counted. The sensitivity is set manually based on the calculated value.

  1. Drive a high vehicle, e.g. a lorry, over the induction loop. The induction loop module measures the values generated by the vehicle

  2. Set DIP switches 3 + 4 and 5 + 6 to the "OFF" position ⇒ The recommended sensitivity setting is displayed by the flash frequency of the LED

e.g.

■ ■ ■sensitivity level 3

9.1 Testing obstacle detection

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Testing obstacle detection - 1

INFORMATION

  • After installation of the operator, the person responsible for installation must complete a Declaration of Conformity for the gate system and apply the CE/UKCA mark and a type plate. This documentation and this installation and operating manual must be handed over to the user. This also applies if the operator is retrofitted to a manually operated gate.
  • If a photocell is interrupted, the gate reverses in soft run.
  • If an obstacle is encountered, the operator stops and reverses fully or partially, depending on the setting and operating mode.
  • All closing edges must be secured with active safety contact strips.

The operating forces must be tested with a force measurement device. Then, additional safety equipment such as photocells or safety contact strips must be tested for perfect functioning. If the gate hits an obstacle, it must reverse immediately.

9.2 Handover of the gate system

The qualified specialist must instruct the user:

• on the operation of the operator and its dangers
• on the handling of the manual emergency release
- on regular maintenance, testing and care which the user can carry out; see "Maintenance and care" on page 65
- on the troubleshooting measures which the user can carry out; see "Error messages" on page 53

The user must be informed about which work may only be performed by a qualified specialist:

• Installation of accessories
- settings
- regular maintenance, testing and care, except that described in Chapter "Maintenance and care" on page 65
- troubleshooting, except that described in Chapter "Error messages" on page 53

- repairs

The following documents for the door system must be handed over to the user:

  • the installation and operating manuals for the entire gate system
  • Inspection book
    • Declaration of Conformity
  • handover protocol for the control unit/operator

10.2 Obstacle detection

The operator stops and reverses if it encounters an obstacle. This prevents injury and damage to property. The gate will be partially or completely opened, depending on the setting. The partial reversion is pre-set at the factory.

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Obstacle detection - 1

INFORMATION

- Reversing: The operator stops when it hits an obstacle. The gate then moves slightly in the opposite direction to release the obstacle. In the automatic closing function, the gate opens completely.

The following safety devices are installed to detect obstacles:

• photocell (object protection)
- safety contact strips (personal protection)

See also Chapter "Error messages" on page 53

10.3 Operation after a power failure

The programmed run times and all other values remain saved in the event of a power failure. After the power supply has been restored, the first movement of the operator after a pulse is always gate OPEN. The door moves the entire way into the door OPEN end position.

10. Operation

10.4 Function of the emergency release

In the event of a power failure, the gate can be opened and closed manually from the inside using the emergency release.

The gate can be unlocked in any gate position. To lock it, the gate must be moved back and forth slightly.

Sommer GIGAslide 1800 - Function of the emergency release - 1
