After having connected the control unit to the mains with the jumpers pre-
wired between the terminals, see figure 2, make sure that it works perfectly
by checking if the following LEDs light up: LINE, STOP, PHOT, BAR, SWO1,
SWC1, SWO2, SWC2.
This fast check is recommended before installation in order to discover any
malfunctions of the control unit.

7) SSR4 traffic light board (on request)

This board is only supplied for the Rigel 4 control unit.
SSR4 permits to manage two traffic lights with two lights each, one usually
red and one green, which operate according to the usual logic for automatic
gates. In addition, some other options are available that can be set using
the Dip-switches provided in the SSR4 board.
The gate as well as the traffic light can be controlled by means of two com-
mands:
• internal START (given when the gate is closed) which not only opens
the gate but also switches on the red light on the outside and the green
one on the inside when the gate is open.
• external START (given when the gate is closed) which not only opens
the gate but also switches on the red light on the inside and the green
one on the outside when the gate is open.
During the opening and closing manoeuvres the two red lights are illumi-
nated.

IMPORTANT NOTE
Provide signals inviting to limit the speed and
to proceed slowly.

For a correct command sequence of the traffic light system, observe the
following procedures:
• Position the traffic light 2 inside with respect to the gate and the traffic
D811208_02

light 1 outside the gate (see figure 3).

• Activate the functions BLI, 2-step logic and pre-alarm (Dip 2, Dip 6,
Dip 7 all to ON) provided on Rigel 4.
