 1. INTRODUCTION
The universal self-learning SIRIO 3 12-24 control unit has been designed for the automation of an access with 1
or 2 12VDC (24VDC)* motors with or without limit switches. Its innovative self-learning procedure makes for
quick and easy installation and its three trimmers permit fine adjustment of all main parameters: force
(or speed), pause time, obstacle detection sensitivity and closing delay between the two leaves of the
gate when two motors are used.
The following are available:
- simplified programming, thanks to which the unit automatically performs a learning operation to acquire
running time and determine slow-down setting at ninety percent of opening and closing runs;
- A professional programming in which the installer can determine the instant in which the gate starts to
slow-down, the enabling of the pedestrian opening via radio, the safety device trigger mode.

2. MAIN FEATURES

NOTE: The control unit is supplied with a trimmer to adjust the force of the motors set on maximum value
(100%). Maintain this setting, which facilitates installation in difficult conditions (worn-out or not lubricated hinges, stress
points etc.) Afterwards, reduce the force to obtain an operator movement that is slower and requires less force. After
having adjusted the force the learning procedure must be repeated.

 5. CONTROL UNIT OPERATING LOGIC (ANALYTIC EXAM)
5.1 PROGRAMMING AND CANCELLATION OF THE REMOTE CONTROLS
With the receiver built into the control box, BAME rolling code remote Joy and Style can be learned.
5.1.1 Programming
Power the control panel and with the automation stopped (green LED GC turned on):
• Press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton: the red LED lights up to indicate that the programming is activated.
• Make a transmission by pressing one of the pushbuttons on the transmitter
• The code is memorised. During code insertion, the red LED flashes slowly. At t he end, the red LED returns
to a fixed light to indicate that a new remote control can be inserted.
• Memorise all the transmitters by carrying out a transmission with a chosen channel.
• At the end of the operation press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton again to exit the procedure. The red LED
switches off.
ATTENTION: The exit from the procedure occurs automatically 10 seconds after the last transmission.
5.1.2 Total cancellation of the codes
• Press and hold down the “P2/RAD” pushbutton for 3 seconds; the red LED starts flashing quickly.
• Press the “P2/RAD” pushbutton again (within 6 seconds) to confirm the cancellation. The confirmation is
signalled when the red LED starts flashing more rapidly.
5.1.3 Enabling new remote “Rolling Code” transmitters (RPA)
To enable a new transmitter without intervening on t he receiver, a transmitter already enabled for the
authorisation must be used (MPSTP2E, MPSTL2E, MPSTL4E, MT2E, MT4E, TRQ2 or TRQ4).
• With this authorised transmitter, press and release the RPA learning pushbutton (also see the instructions of
the TX used).
• Carry out this operation 5-6 metres from the receiver (the LED signals the activation).
• Transmit by pressing one of the channel pushbuttons of the new transmitter to be enabled.
• Enable all the new transmitters by pressing a pushbutton on each one of them.
• The exit from the procedure occurs automatically 10 seconds after the last transmission.
• Check the effective programming of the transmitters by carrying out an opening manoeuvre with each of
them.
5.1.4 Choosing the transmitter pushbutton
To select the radio channel that will activate the manoeuvre cycle set DIP 1 and 2 as follows:

DIP- SWITCH 1 DIP- SWITCH 2 Pushbutton Active

OFF OFF Pushbutton 1
OFF ON Pushbutton 2
ON OFF Pushbutton 3
ON ON Pushbutton 4

5.2 OPERATION OF THE SAFETY DEVICES

5.2.1 Photocell (PHO input)
When triggered, the photocell provokes:
- in closing phase, an inversion of the motion, either immediate or when cleared, according to the programming,
- in opening phase it has no effect,
- when the access is closed it has no effect on the opening commands if set for immediate inversion,
otherwise it delays the opening until it is cleared,
- if the access is open it inhibits the closing commands.
The control unit has a function of rapid access closing after the triggering of the photocell (see paragraph 5.3.4).
5.2.2 Safety in Opening (EDG/PED input)
Safety devices can be connected (self-testing or not) to the “EDG/PED” input on the control unit (e.g. fixed wire
ribs, pneumatically-operated ribs, etc.).
The safety acts as follows:
- in closing phase it has no effect
- in opening phase it provokes an inversion of direction for 2 seconds,
- when the gate is closed the opening commands are inhibited,

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 - when the gate is open the closing commands are inhibited,
Using the professional learning, the EDG/PED input can be set as internal photocell:
- in closing phase it provokes an inversion of direction when cleared,
- in opening phase it provokes a STOP and opening continues when cleared,
- when the gate is closed it delays opening until it is cleared,
- when the access is open it inhibits the closing commands.
5.2.3 Safeties Self-test
The control unit has a self-test function of the safeties connected to the “PHO” input of the control unit; it
switches off the transmitter to check the commutation of the corresponding receiver contact before the
execution of each manoeuvre. In this case, the “gate open warning light” is not available.
To activate this self-tes t function proceed as follows:
- switch DIP 8 “PHTEST” to ON
- connect the positive of the photocell transmitter power to terminal 10 (“+TX”)
With the Self-test function active the photocell transmitters are only powered when the manoeuvre is
taking place, thus giving a major saving of energy.
If the enabling of the safety self-test is not required
- switch DIP 8 “PHTEST” to OFF
- connect the positive of the photocell transmitter power to the terminal 9 (“+V”)
5.3 TRIMMER “FOR”- MOTOR SPEED
Trimmer “FOR” adjusts the voltage applied to the motors during operations, which means adjusting the speed of the motors.
With the trimmer turned fully counter-clockwise the speed of the motor if 50% of the maximum speed.
With the trimmer at half travel the speed of the motor if 50% of the maximum speed.
ATTENZION: Changing the setting of trimmer “FOR” requires repeating the learning procedure, since
the travel times and the slow-down start times change.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE

Speed 50% Speed 75% Speed 100%

5.4 TRIMMER “DEL”- DELAY BETWEEN MOTORS

Trimmer “DEL” can be used to adjust the delay between the two motors in opening and closing operations.
If the trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, the delay is 0 both in opening and in closing, and the two leaved
will move together. In all the other positions of the trimmer, the delay in opening is 3 seconds and the delay in
closing varies from 0 to 15 seconds according to the position of the knob.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE

delay 0 in opening delay 3 seconds in opening delay 3 seconds in opening

delay 0 in closing delay 7 seconds in closing delay 15 seconds in closing

5.5 TRIMMER “PAU” - “OPENING AND CLOSING” OPERATING MODE

5.5.1 Time controlled automatic closing mode
Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to ON.
Set the “PAU” trimmer in an intermediate position according to the pause time desired. The pause time can be
set between 3 and 60 seconds and is increased by rotating the trimmer clockwise.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE

pause time about 1 sec. pause time about 30 sec. pause time about 60 sec.

In this mode, if a command is received via radio or via the “STR” input, the control unit does the following:
- drives the two motors without 2nd motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a
2nd motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 - opening stops when the limit switches or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre
time has elapsed. If other commands are given during opening they will have no effect.
- with the automation stopped and in automatic pause each time the timer re-starts from zero.
Once the pause time has elapsed, the closing manoeuvre takes place and the control unit:
- carries out a 1 second fixed pre-flash
- drives the two motors with a 2nd motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.
- if another command is given during closing the control unit commands a complete re-opening.
- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.
ATTENTION: Maintaining the opening contact (“STR” terminal) closed, with a temporised relay for
example, the control unit will command opening and the automation will remain open with automatic
closing disabled until the contact is re-opened again (Company Function).
5.5.2 Step by step mode without automatic closing
Switch the dip-switch 6 to ON and the dip-switch 7 to OFF.
The step by step command sequence is OPEN-STOP-CLOSE-STOP
The opening and closing manoeuvres take place as described in the previous paragraph.
5.5.3 Step by step mode with automatic closing
Switch the dip-switch 6 to ON and the dip-switch 7 to ON.
The step-step logic is OPEN/STOP/CLOSE/STOP.
When the opening manoeuvre has been completed and the pause time set on the PAU trimmer has elapsed the
control unit effects automatic closing. If, when the automation is closed, a radio command is given, either
through the “STR” input command or the START pushbutton on the board, the control unit:
- commands a one second fixed pre-flash
- drives the two motors without 2nd motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a
2nd motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.
- opening stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervene or when the manoeuvre time
has elapsed or with a radio or manual command. In the latter case the control unit disables the automatic
closing and another command must be given to re-start the manoeuvre. If the automation is completely open,
once the pause time has elapsed the closing manoeuvre takes place. The control unit:
- commands a 1 second fixed pre-flash
- drives the two motors with a 2nd motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.
- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.
5.5.4 Automatic closing and rapid re-closing mode
Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to ON.
Switch the dip-switch 3 to ON.
The control unit does the following:
a) if the photocell is triggered during opening, the control unit continues the opening, and when the photocell is
cleared effects a STOP followed, after one second, by the re-closure.
b) if the photocell is triggered during standby with the gate open, when the photocell is cleared, after one
second, automatic re-closure occurs.
c) if the photocell is triggered during closure, the control unit effects an inversion and, when the photocell is
cleared, it effects a STOP followed, after one second, by the re-closure.
If during the opening cycle or during the pause the photocell is not triggered, the pause time is as set on the
“PAU” trimmer.
5.5.5 OPEN-CLOSE-OPEN mode
Switch the dip-switch 6 to OFF and the dip-switch 7 to OFF.
If, when the automation is closed, a radio command is given, either through the “STR” input command or the
START pushbutton on the board, the control unit:
- commands a one second fixed pre-flash
- drives the two motors without 2nd motor delay if the DEL trimmer is turned fully counter-clockwise, with a
2nd motor delay of 3 seconds for all the other positions of the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.
- opening stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time
has elapsed. If other commands are given during opening they will have no effect.
When the automation is completely open, to start closing give a radio or manual command and the control unit:
- commands a 1 second fixed pre-flash
- drives the two motors with a 2nd motor delay as set on the DEL trimmer
- drives the motors for one second at reduced speed (softstart) and then at the speed set on the FOR trimmer.
10

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 - if a command is given during closing the control unit commands the complete re-opening
- closing stops when the limit switch or the obstacle detection system intervenes or when the manoeuvre time has elapsed.
5.6 “PEDESTRIAN OPENING” FUNCTION
The pedestrian function can be assigned with the professional learning to channel 2/3/4 of the remote control.
With a “PEDESTRIAN OPENING” (“EDG/EDG” terminal) command on the input, the control unit commands an
opening for the first leaf for a time of:
- 5 seconds if no learning has been carried out,
- complete opening if a simplified learning has been carried out
- that set by the installer if a professional learning has been carried out.
Closing is triggered by a manual command, or automatically if the automatic closing function is enabled. The complete
opening command has always priority over the pedestrian opening, therefore if, during a pedestrian manoeuvre a
complete opening command is received, the control unit will command a complete opening of the automation.
5.7 TRIMMER “OBS” - “OBSTACLE SENSITIVITY” DETECTION
The “OBS” TRIMMER is used to adjust at the same time the delay time of intervention after an obstacle has
been detected and the threshold of the counter-force against the operator necessary to trigger the intervention.
Both the counter-force and the delay time increase when the trimmer is turned clockwise. The delay time
can be adjusted between 0.1 and 3 seconds. This function is useful to overcome any critical points of the
operator which cause a higher power absorption by the motor for a short time.

EXAMPLE EXAMPLE EXAMPLE

delay time about 0,1 sec. delay time about 1,5 sec. delay time about 3 sec.

If electric limit switches are present, the obstacle detector will provoke an inversion of the motion in closing
and a 2 second inversion in opening.
If there are no electric limit switches the obstacle detector provokes:
- in closing an inversion of the motion unless it is in the last five seconds of the manoeuvre, where does a STOP
- in opening an inversion of the motion for 2 seconds unless it is in the last five seconds of the manoeuvre,
where does a STOP.
5.8 FLASHING LIGHT
The control unit has two output terminals (LAMP) to command a low voltage flashing light. The light start flashing 1
second before each opening manoeuvre and 1 second before each closing manoeuvre.
If the dip-switch 5 is in the OFF position the power supply to the flashing light is continuous. Therefore the terminals
must be connected to a low voltage flashing light with a built-in oscillating circuit.
If the dip-switch 5 is in the ON position the power supply is intermittent and therefore a normal lamp without
oscillating circuit can be connected (12VDC, Max 10W). During the closing manoeuvre, the flashing frequency is
twice as fast as that during opening.
The flashing light is only activated during movement. If AC mains power supply is missing and the unit
works under battery power supply, the flashing light will only flash for the first 4 seconds of the manoeuvre.
5.9 GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT
If the safety device self-test is not used (DIP 8 “PHTEST” is OFF), the output +TX (terminal 10) acts as a
GATE OPEN WARNING LIGHT. Connect a 12V lamp (m ax. 3W) to terminals 10 (“+TX”) and 9 (“COMMON”) of
the control unit. The status of the lamp is as follows:
- If the access is closed the light is switched off
- If the access is open or opening the lamp is alight with a fixed light
- If the access is closing the lamp flashes
5.10 SLOW-DOWN
The slow-down function allows the gate to apply a reduced force before reaching the limit stop. The speed is
reduced to about one third of the normal working speed.
The slow-down function can be enabled or not during the Professional Learning procedure. With this control unit
the slow-down start can be selected independently for the two leaves, both in opening and closing.
5.11 ELECTRIC LOCK
Using the ELU expansion card an electric lock can be managed. The contact given by the ELU card is clean
and allows the managing of electric locks of 12 or 24 Volt max.15W according to the output voltage of the
transformer. The command is given before every opening manoeuvre for 2 seconds, and before every re-
opening caused by the triggering of a photocell or safety device.

11

 Using dip-switch 4 on the card, the kick-back and the final stroke at the end of the closing manoeuvre can be
enabled or not.
Dip-switch 4 in ON position: kick-back and final stroke enabled
Dip-switch 4 in OFF position: kick-back and final stroke disabled.
5.12 COURTESY LIGHT
Using the LCU expansion card a courtesy light can be managed. The contact given by the LCU card is clean
and allows a 230VAC max.500W lamp to be managed. The co mmand to switch on the courtesy light is given
before every manoeuvre and the contact remains activated for about 120 seconds from opening.
5.13 BUFFER BATTERY – SOLAR PANEL MANAGEMENT
The SIRIO 3 12-24 control unit is fitted with an automatic 13.7VDC battery charger, for which a 12V battery
must be used, even for 24VDC motors. In this case, when there is no mains power the gate will travel at half
normal speed and the accessories will be powered at 12VDC. The 12V 1.2Ah buffer battery allows a maximum
of 5 reduced-speed manoeuvres should the mains power supply be cutoff (as long as the interruption
occurred less than 24 hours earlier). The control unit can manage batteries up to 7Ah (20-30 complete
manoeuvres). The flashing light, when present, only functions for the first 4 seconds of the manoeuvre. A solar
panel can be directly connected to the control unit with a current regulator. The solar panel input is already
protected by a diode.
5.14 LOGICAL STOP (STP INPUT)
The activation of the STOP input stops all the functions.
To resume the cycle the STOP must be deactivated and another command given.
5.15 CONTROL UNIT MEMORY FAULT
The EEPROM memory contains the control unit operating parameters, the codes, the logic and the memory of
the radio receiver. When the control unit is turned on, should there be a fault in the EEPROM memory, the red
LED flashes and all manoeuvres are blocked.
The Reset function must be executed (press and hold the programming button P1/SET for 2 seconds, until the
yellow LED flashes).
If the red LED turns of, the EEPROM is good, but all programming of parameters and learning of transmitters
must be done again.
If the red LED still flashes, an authorised service centre should be contacted.
6. SIGNALLING LED
Yellow led SET:
- flashes for 5 seconds when turned on to indicate that it is possible to enter the Professional or Simplified
Learning modes.
- lights up with a fixed light while Professional or Simplified Learning are carried out.
- is turned off when the control unit functions normally.
Red led ER:
- is turned off during normal control unit operations
- is alight (fixed light) when the control unit is blocked because it has failed the safety test or a motor is
disconnected
Red led RAD:
- flashes briefly when a 433 MHz Multipass radio code is received
- is alight (fixed light) when radio codes are being memorised
- flashes rapidly when the control unit is switched on and the radio code memory is defective
- flashes rapidly during the cancellation of radio codes
- flashes slowly when there is an attempt to memorise new radio codes and the memory is full
- is switched off when the control unit is functioning normally and waiting to receive a command via radio.
Green led GC:
- is alight (fixed light) when the automation is completely closed
- flashes during the closing manoeuvre
- otherwise it is switched off
Red led GO:
- is alight (fixed light) when the automation is open.
- flashes during the opening manoeuvre
- otherwise it is switched off
Red led PH:
- is alight when the photocell (PHO input) is aligned
- is switched off when the photocell (PHO input) is not aligned
Red led ST:
- is alight when the STOP (STP) input is closed
- is switched off when the STOP (STP) input is open.

 Green led START:
- is alight when the OPEN/STEP/STEP (STR) input is closed.
- is switched off when the OPEN/STEP/STEP (STR) input is open.

7. PROGRAMMING THROUGH GTSYSTEM

The GTSYSTEM is an autonomous multi-functional terminal that can be used on various BAME products both
for testing and function modification. In the case of SIRIO3 12-24 control unit, it allows:
• modification or visualisation of operating parameters,
• visualisation of the counter of completed manoeuvres,
• visualisation of the control unit status and diagnostic messages.
