Frequently Asked Questions - Twist AM Sommer

How do I program a handheld transmitter to the twist AM?

Press the radio button on the control unit (LED CH1 flashes). Then press the desired button on the handheld transmitter within 30 seconds. The LED will light steadily for confirmation. Up to 40 transmitters can be stored.

How do I set the end positions (open and close) for the gate?

Activate programming mode by pressing and holding the START 1 button until the status LED flashes. Then use the OPEN and CLOSE buttons to move the gate to the desired positions and confirm each by pressing START 1. Detailed steps are in the manual section 8. Initial operation.

What should I do in case of a power failure?

Use the emergency release lever inside the operator cover to manually unlock the gate. Turn the lever to the front stop to disengage the motor, then operate the gate by hand. Re-engage by turning the lever back after power is restored.

How do I clean and maintain the twist AM?

Disconnect power before cleaning. Use a damp, lint-free cloth to clean the cover and hinged bracket. Clean photocell lenses gently without changing their position. Do not use metal objects or aggressive cleaners. Check safety devices every 3 months.

How do I adjust the obstacle detection force?

The force is automatically set during end position programming. To adjust, enter programming mode, then use the OPEN and CLOSE buttons to move the gate; the control unit learns the required force. For manual fine-tuning, contact a qualified specialist.

Can I install the twist AM on a 2-leaf gate?

Yes, the twist AM supports 2-leaf gates with a master (with control unit) and a slave operator (without control unit). DIP switches 7 and 8 must be set to configure active/inactive leaf and left/right installation.

What safety devices are compatible with the twist AM?

The control unit has connections for external photocells (2-wire or 4-wire), safety contact strips (8k2), and an external EMERGENCY STOP. These are connected to terminals SAFETY 1 and SAFETY 2 on the circuit board.

How do I enable the automatic closing function?

Set DIP switch 6 to ON. The gate will automatically close after a programmable pause (adjustable via SOMlink). Automatic closing only works with a photocell connected.

What is the maximum gate weight and leaf length for this operator?

Maximum gate weight per leaf is 250 kg and maximum leaf length is 2,500 mm. The gate must be balanced and move easily by hand.

How do I reset the twist AM to factory settings?

Press and hold the radio button for 5 seconds until all LEDs flash, then release. This deletes all radio channels. For a full reset of end positions and forces, perform a new programming run as described in the manual.

3.8 Definitions

The following definitions are used in this document:

Master gate operator

Designates the operator with integrated control unit and transformer. The optional accumulator can also be installed in the master gate operator. We recommend installing the master gate operator on the side of the gate system with the power supply.

Slave gate operator

The slave gate operator mostly contains only the mechanical operator elements. It can be distinguished from the master gate operator by the type plate, the lack of a power cord and its lower weight.

Active leaf

Designates the gate leaf which opens first and closes second. The sequence of movements is necessary e.g. with a stop bar on a gate leaf. 1-leaf gates only have an active leaf.

Inactive leaf

Designates the gate leaf which opens second and closes first. 1-wing gate systems do not have inactive leaves.

• If the opening angles of the two gate leaves deviate, dimensions A/B/C/D must be selected appropriately.
• The safety distances comply with the standard for the gate type.
• The intended installation surface on the post must be vertical and flat. The post fitting must be positioned flat during installation. Uneven areas or slopes must be flattened out before installation.

INFORMATION

• Overextension of the gate arm can be prevented in the case of deviating dimensions. To do so, the defined position for the gate fitting must be shifted 15 mm towards the gate post with the gate arm extended.

Removing unsuitable components

Before installation remove:

• All manual locking systems, e.g. gate locks
• Dampers or spring elements.

NOTE

• If attached parts, e.g. bolts or locks, are installed on a gate, they may block the operator. This may cause faults or damage to the operator.
  Before installing the operator, remove all unsuitable attached parts or reliably disable them.

Definition of master/slave gate operator

In the case of 2-leaf gate systems, the position of the master gate operator must be defined before beginning installation. We recommend installing the master gate operator on the side of the gate with the power supply.

6. Installation

6.3 Pre-assembling the operator arm

Mechanical stops, so-called blocking elements, can be installed in the operator arm. These are additional safeguards for the gate system. The blocking elements can be omitted if fixed stops are present.

NOTE

- The operator switches off via fixed stops. Fixed stops are required for gate OPEN and gate CLOSE. The existing stops on the gate system must be used as fixed stops.

The supplied blocking elements can be used in addition to the existing fixed stops. This is an additional safeguard for the gate system.

INFORMATION

- If an electric lock was used, release it separately, see separate instructions.

1. Check whether blocking elements are installed in the gate arm and whether they can be moved.

Otherwise, slightly unscrew the screws of the blocking elements.

INFORMATION

• If the blocking elements of the operator are used in addition to the fixed stops on the gate, see Chapter "6.9 Adjusting the blocking elements"

• The distance between the rotation point on the gate leaf fitting and the rotation point of the gate arm must be at least 15 mm smaller than the extended length of the operator arm and the gate arm. See Chapter "6.2 Preparing for installation", section "Table of dimensions A/B/C/D".

• Carefully open and close the gate several times by hand.

As you do so, check the following:

• Nothing jams.
  • The gate arm always remains horizontal.
  • The intended end positions are reached.
• Safety distances in accordance with EN 13241 must be observed at all times.
• Fixed stops for gate OPEN and gate CLOSE.
• Finally, the gate position can be fine-tuned by moving the gate leaf fitting.

6.9 Adjusting the blocking elements

The supplied blocking elements for gate CLOSE and gate OPEN can be used in addition to the existing fixed stops. The blocking elements can be omitted if fixed stops are present.

Setting gate OPEN blocking element

1. Ensure that the operator is unlocked with the emergency release lever and that the gate leaf fitting is provisionally fixed to the gate.
2. Move the gate to the intended end position for gate OPEN.
3. Slide the blocking element with the associated screws forward on the side facing the gate as far as the perceptible stop. For assignment of the blocking elements, see Chapter "6.3 Pre-assembling the operator arm".
4. Tighten the screws of the blocking element.

The end position for gate OPEN is dependent on the detent mechanism on the blocking element and can be set in the frame of the detent mechanism.

1. Check whether the gate OPEN end position is correct.

If necessary, loosen the screws of the blocking element and move the blocking element one catch.

Setting gate CLOSE blocking element

1. Ensure that the operator is unlocked with the emergency release lever and that the gate leaf fitting is provisionally fixed to the gate.
2. Move the gate to the intended end position for gate CLOSE. With 2-leaf gates, make sure that they are lined up.
3. Using the M8 x 20 mm screws, slide the blocking element forwards on the side of the gate facing away from you as far as the perceptible stop.

For assignment of the blocking elements, see also Chapter "6.4 Installing the operator arm".

1. Tighten the screws of the blocking element.

The end position for gate CLOSE is dependent on the detent mechanism on the blocking element and can be set in the frame of the detent mechanism.

1. Check whether the gate end position is correct.

If necessary, loosen the provisional fastening of the gate leaf fitting and slide the gate leaf fitting slightly in horizontal direction. Changing the position of the gate leaf fitting can also change the end position of the open gate.

The position of the gate CLOSE blocking element must then be corrected.
