Frequently Asked Questions - 24 V SOMFY

How to perform self-learning of the 24 V control unit?

Place the doors in the intermediate position. Set the run mode P0 (except value 05) and set P3 to 01. Validate and exit the menu: the display shows H1. Generate an open command (by external control or radio). The leaves must open, the overlapping leaf (M1) first. The display changes to H2. Wait for the end of opening. When H1 reappears, generate a close command. The door closes, the display changes to H4 then to C1 after complete closure. The learning is complete.

What does display code E1 mean?

Code E1 indicates a safety fault at opening: the safety contact is still active. Check the safety detector (cell or edge sensor) and its wiring.

How to adjust the torque of motor 1 (parameter P4)?

Access the parameter menu, select P4. Set the value from 00 to 10, where 00 corresponds to 40% torque and 10 to 100%. The default value is 10 (100%). Validate and check operation.

How to program a radio remote control?

In the menu, select parameter F0. Choose the desired function: 0 for total control, 1 for pedestrian, 2 for auxiliary. Press VALID then press the remote control. The code is memorized. To clear all codes, hold VALID for 5 seconds in F0 mode.

How to switch to internal keypad mode (manual mode)?

Set parameter P0 to value 5. In internal keypad mode, the '+' key on the keypad controls opening, the '-' key controls closing. No safety is active except emergency stop and torque limitation. Use this mode only for maintenance.

What to do in case of display E5 (autotest fault safety closing 1)?

Fault E5 means that the autotest of safety closing 1 failed. Check the connection of the photoelectric cell or edge sensor, and ensure that autotest is enabled (parameter A3). Replace the detector if necessary.

What operating modes are available?

The modes are: 0 = Automatic, 1 = Semi-automatic, 2 = Lock, 3 = Sequential, 4 = Sequential + timer, 5 = Internal keypad. Modes Automatic, Lock, and Sequential + timer require installation of safety accessories.

How to reset the control unit after a fault?

To clear the fault history, hold the VALID key for 5 seconds while the display shows a fault code (e.g. D0-D9). The history is cleared. For a complete reset, consult the manual.

Can I use photoelectric cells with this control unit?

Yes, the control unit has inputs for safety at opening (SEC.0) and closing (SEC.F1 and SEC.F2). The 24 Vdc cells can be connected with autotest via power interruption (terminals 16,17) or reflex autotest via TEST CELL terminal (terminal 18).

How to maintain the 24 V control unit?

Clean the exterior with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use chemicals. Check the electrical connections and proper functioning of safety devices annually. Call a professional installer for any internal intervention.

Arrêt d'urgence

Emergency stop

Noodstop

- Pushing the emergency stop button stops the gate entirely. It may be equipped with other safety devices, such as photoelectric cells.

Closure safety devices SEC.F1 and SEC.F2

- Any detection during closure causes stopping then reopening (total or partial, depending on parameter A1). Possibility of connecting 1 or 2 sensors in series on each input.

Opening safety devices SEC.0

- Any detection during opening causes stopping then closure (total or partial, depending on parameter A0). Possibility of connecting a sensor.

- Protection of the Dangerous Movement Area Open to the Public can be validated. This function uses input SEC.F1.Parameter settings activate the following safety devices:

• Detection before opening the gate excludes all movement.
• Detection when closing the gate stops the gate and reopens it.

- When the gate is in movement, 2 outputs control the following devices:

Control	Contact
Area lighting	Dry contact Vmax: 230Vac - Pmax: 150Va
Orange light	Output 2 x 15 w (sequence control)

Signaleringen

According to the parameter settings (parameter Po), the 24V control box has several operating modes: Modes Automatic/Blockage/Senquenced+timed: Compulsory installation of safety accessorie.

Modes	Operation
Automatic	Gate closed, control pulse provokes opening.The gate automatically closes once closing time has expired.
Semi-automatic	Gate closed, control pulse provokes opening.When opening, a control pulse has no effect.Gate opened, control pulse provokes closing.When opening, a control pulse reopen the door.
Blockage SEC.F1 and SEC.F2	After the gate is opened, passage in front of the closing security cells closes the gate after a time-delay (parameter t2).If passage in front of cells does not take place, the blockage mode controls gate closure after the automatic closure time-delay (parameter t0).
Sequenced	First pulse provokes opening, next pulse provokes stop, next pulse provokes closing etc...
Sequenced and timed	Similar to sequenced mode alone but with automatic gate closure after time-delay (parameter t0).
Mode with internal keyboard	The "+" key on theinternal keyboardcontrols opening.The "-" key controls closing.⚠️ In this operating mode, no safety device is activated except the emergency stop and torque limitation.

- Caution! Do not remove the board.

• Insérer et régler la longueur des câbles. Bloquer les presse-étoupes. Attention un mauvais montage des câbles à travers les presse-étoupe peut dégrader l'indice de protection IP55.
• Insert and adjust cable length. Block the cable glands. Caution! Incorrect fitting of the cables à through the glands may downgrade the IP55 protection index.
• Plaats de kabels en stel de lengte hiervan af. Blokkeer de pakkingbussen. Let op, een verkeerde montage van de kabels door de pakkingbussen kan de beschermingsklasse IP55 aantasten.
• Insertar y ajustar la longitud de los cables. Bloquear los prensaestopas. Prestar atención al montaje de los cables a través del prensaestopas dado que un montaje incorrecto puede degradar el índice de protección IP55.

The electrical lead must be:

• Reserved exclusively for the axovia,
• Of a minimum section of 1.5 mm ^4
• Properly protected (fuse or circuit breaker rated at 10 A) with a differential device (30 mA),
• Fit a single pole disconnection device standard EN 60335-1.

De elektrische leiding dient:

Power grid connection (terminals 1 and 2) must be performed as a final operation.

- 1 dry contact (230 Vac - Pmax = 500 VA) is available on tie-point block 6 (contacts 3 and 4).

- 1 supplied contact (24V/1,5 A or 12V/3A) is available on tie-point block 9 (contacts 12 and 14) when using an opener or suction cup.

This contact may be " NC " ou " NO " according to programmed settings.

Hulpcontacten

- Autotest for 24 Vdc photoelectric cells is ensured by shutting down the 24 V power of the emitting cell (terminals 16,17).

Autotest for "reflex" cells is ensured via the terminal "TEST CELL" on the control box (terminal 18).

• 2 boutons • 2 buttons
• 2 knoppen • 2 botones

Use a fixed light for cadenced control.

• Without emergency stop without safety devices

Only modify parameters when the gate is stopped and closed.

After parameter setting, check the good fonctionning of safety accessories.

operation of auto learning Setting into operation

Auto learning is used to measure the stroke, the opening angles of the leaves, to assign the speeds and offsets so that the dor can operate after auto learning.

• Place the doors in intermediate position. Parameter the operating mode 'P0' according to the need (except value 05 which is prohibited) and the auto learning 'P3' to '01'.
• Validate and exit the menu, the display now indicates 'H1'.
• Generate an opening command via the outer command or the radio (after programming it).
• The door leaf(ves) should open and check the covering leaf (cable on M1) starts first, otherwise, check the motor connections. The display indicates 'H2'.
• Wait until the end of opening.
• When the display indicates 'H1', generate a new command to close.
• The door should start closing. The display indicates 'H4'.
  • After closing, the auto learning is completed. The display now indicates 'C1'.

Remarks

1 • Learning affects the following parameters: P2, P4, P5, P6, P7, P8, P9, PA, Pb. All these parameters may be modified after learning to make the door movement more precise.
2 • For very fragile doors, it is possible to perform auto learning at a reduced torque by reducing the value of parameters 'P4 and P5' immediately after setting the auto learning parameter 'P3' to '01' and before executing the opening command.
3 • Learning will only be completed after a complete closing movement. A stop during the movement postpones by one cycle the end of learning.
4 • Learning takes place under the control of the user, without cell safety device and without signalisation.
