4 - 7 POWER SUPPLY.
The circuit has been designed to operate with a main supply of 230 V AC (+10%,-15%, 50
or 60 Hz).
The VF7 Relay incorporates a soft-start system to control the bulk capacitors charge and
prevent short circuits.

Note: It is important that the Door Operator Module has a good earth connection.

INPUTS
The circuit can work with external voltage inputs or internal voltage input (voltage free contact).

8 CLOSE SIGNAL.

This signal is used for ordering to close the door. With an external voltage input the tension
to apply could be from 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC between this input and
common (10). With an internal voltage input the tension applied is 12 V DC between this input
and Out +12 V (9).

9 12 VOLT.
Isolated 12 Volts output available to control the door through a voltage free contact.
Features are:
a) This supply must only be used for this purpose.
b) This contact must be isolated from any other power supply.

10 COMMON.
Is the reference used for the opening and closing signal.

11 0 VOLTS.
Is the opposite pole to 12 V, in the case of using internal voltage it should be connected
to common input.

Control Master The unit will execute the instructions directly. Example: Curtain activation will cause the doors to
re-open immediately without control of the lift controller.

Slave There is no automatic reopen movements. The doors will only react to instruction given by the main
lift controller. Example: When the light curtain detects an obstacle instead of reopen automatically
the VF7 Relay module will send a signal to the lift controller with the Light Curtain output (42, 43,
44). Then, the main lift controller must remove the close signal and active the open signal.

Landing Door Automatic Operators with Clutch (automatic landing door). In this case a special movement is made for
locking and unlocking the Clutch.

Semiautomatic Operators without Clutch (Semiautomatic landing door).

Inputs 1 Input

The unit will be controlled by a single input. Any voltage between 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC applied
between terminals 8 & 10 will close the doors. Without input active the door remains opened. Open input is not used.

2 Inputs

The unit will be controlled by two independent inputs. Any voltage between 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 100 V AC to 230 V AC
applied between terminals 8 & 10 will cause the doors to close. And between terminals 10 & 12 will cause the doors to
open. In the absence of a signal, the doors will remain static. If both inputs are applied then the open signal has priority.

Program Control

Test Makes a door open or close cycle to verify proper operation.

Door Learning Makes a Door Learning process to set up the door.

Before doing a Door Learning a Motor Calibrations has to be done.
The door will do a close movement and then will do two complete movements to detect the clear opening. From
the information obtained the microprocessor will calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps to give the
optimum control of the doors. Once the autoadjustment has been completed the parameters are stored in non
volatile EEPROM. The autoadjustment process sets all parameters to the factory value if these are not protected.

Autoadjustment process:

1. The door will close completely in slow speed until the end to detect the 0 position.
2. The door will open slowly counting the clear opening until it reach the open mechanical stop.
3. The door will close after a short delay. From the information obtained the microprocessor will calculate the
acceleration and deceleration ramps and to give the optimum control of the doors.

INSTALLATION PROCESS

The whole installation process has to been done when a new circuit is installed on a door.
If the circuit is already installed only do steps 7 and 11.

1. Connections.
• Connect the motor wire and encoder wire (#55, #56, #57, #58, #59).
• If it has been installed, connect the Fermator photocell (#17, #18, #19, #20).
• Disconnect all other inputs and outputs.
• Connect the 230 V AC mains supply to the controller (#5, #6, #7).

2. Switch on the VF door controller button I / O in the front of the box.

3. Follow the Guide for configuration of VF7 Relay main parameters if the circuit is a replacement.

4. Program in ”2 INPUTS” and “MASTER”, this options are located in the Programming Options
menu in the VF7 Relay Graphic Interface.

5. Active the Motor Calibration, to detect the electrical characteristics of the motor installed, place
the door in a middle position.To perform an optimal calibration of the motor installed the process
has to be done without charge. Never perform calibration with the car door and landing door.

6. Program the door type, this options are located in the Programming Options menu in the VF7
Relay Graphic Interface.
• Door model (T1, T2, T3, T4, C2, C4, C6 or C8).
• Landing door type (Semiautomatic or Automatic).
• Rotation sense (Clockwise or Counterclockwise).

7. Place the door in a middle position in order to see the starting movement.

8. Active the Door Learning option to start the learning cycle.

This option is located in the Programming Options menu in the VF7 Relay Graphic Interface.
The correct steps that the door has to make are:
• The door will close completely in slow speed until the end to detect the 0 position.
• The door will open slowly counting the pulses from the encoder built into drive motor until it
reach the open mechanical stop. Will detect the final position.
• The door will close after a short delay. From the information obtained the microprocessor will
calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps and the braking torque required to give the
optimum control of the doors.

9. Door Test.
• Active the Test option to open the door and verify the proper operation. Active again the test
option to close the door.

10. Program the VF7 Relay control behaviour, this options are located in the Programming Op-
tions menu in the VF7 Graphic Interface.
• 1 Input or 2 Inputs.
• Master or Slave.

11. Connect the cables coming from the lift controller.

• Connect the inputs cables (Pins 8 to 12).
• Connect the priority inputs cables (Pins 21 to 26).
• Connect the relays outputs cables that inform the lift controller (Pins 30 to 47).

 POWER FAILURES

The VF7 Relay incorporates two new security systems related to power failures:

• Anti-banging system.
When a power failure occurs while the door is opening, closing or fully open, the new anti-banging system
brakes the PM motor to perform a slow closing and avoid the door hits at closing.

• Electronic Car Door Lock.

When a power failure occurs while the door is fully closed, the VF7 Relay detects the voltage drop and
opens the Car Door Lock if the cabin is on the floor level.
The Electronic Car Door Lock system could be enable or disabled by software.

Note: After the power supply has been restored and the open signal is activated, the doors will open slowly
for the first operation in order to recognize the clear opening.

In this section the modifications are listed for customer knowledge in order to comply with the new lift standard
EN 81-20/50.

LIFT STANDARD EN 81-20/50

KINETIC ENERGY.

The average closing speed has to be limited to 10 J. To limit it is necessary to know the moving mass, the
door opening and the panels number. This parameters are programmed by default except for the spare
part. In this case the parameters have to be introduced by the VF7 Relay programming menu. In order to
comply the standard is necessary to configure some options and parameters:

Menu Option Configuration to comply EN81-20/50

of VF7 Relay.

OVERHEATING PROTECTION.

• The internal temperature of the PM motor is measured by the VF7 Relay when the option of
“Temperature measurement” inside the “Programming options” menu is enabled.

DOOR CONTACT.

• A separate monitoring signal is necessary to check that the car door(s) is/are in the closed position.
To comply this point an additional door contact is added, and the signal should be connected to the
lift controller. The maximum contact rating is 2 A 230 V AC.
