FAQs

The controller doesn’t work from the enclosure buttons until the limits have been set. Use the internal programming buttons or LCD programmer to set limits, then the enclosure buttons become active.

No, the limits can be set using the integrated programming buttons on the circuit board. In fact, fully automatic operation is possible without needed the LCD programmer due to the automatic detection functions for safety edge and photocell.

When electronic limits are used the object passing through the photocell can be ignored by using the PEB POINT function. Activating the function using the LCD programmer will ignore the photocell below this point.

The volt-free programmable relays can be used to control 230Vac or 24Vdc traffic lights. Using the LCD programmer, pre-warning delays and various light functions can be selected. The CS320 can also offer directional traffic light control.

This is a safety circuit activation. This could be caused by manual override activation or thermal trip. It could be anything connected to one of the safety circuit connections e.g. Safety brake switch, external E-Stop button or ground lock isolator.

The CS320 is compatible with any three phase mechanical limit operators up to 2.2kW. For electronic limits the CS320 connects to the Kostal DES-B encoder. The CS320 can replace comparable controllers that are compatible with the Kostal encoder.

We have a 1-channel plug-in loop detector that requires no additional set up giving a open command. Ideal for free exit.

The CS320 is a direct replacement for the CS300 and CS310. The terminal layout and connections are the same so the existing cable set should plug straight in. The CS320 can also be used to replace the discontinued CS250.

One of the external commands is permanently activated. Disconnect the external commands one by one to identify the source if the fault.

Unfortunately, the plug-in radio cards used in our Mini Standard cannot be connected to the CS320. However, we can supply a compatible standalone receiver allowing existing remotes to be re-used.

The cycle counter can be found in the DIAGNOSIS menu, it shows complete cycles. Additionally, the CS320 can tell you how many open commands or safety reversals have occurred along with the number of times the open position was reached. This gives a more realistic indication of usage particularly in high duty applications.

In addition to showing the status of command, position and safety inputs the DIAGNOSIS menu records faults and safety activations while the door is in motion. The number of times a particular event occurred and the cycle count of the last event is displayed.

The CS320 can accept OSE or PNP/SSR type light curtains though we prefer the OSE type. The LCD programmer is essential as the automatic learning functions won’t correctly detect the light curtain. Additionally, two sets of light curtains can be connected to the CS320 to ensure full coverage when it is not possible to mount a single set within the door guides.

This usually occurs because the manual override has been activated. Try turning power off, disengage the manual override then power up to check the fault has cleared. The 3 red flash indication is actually a limit switch fault, in this case caused when the limit common is broken by the manual override interlock switch.

The CS320 has 4 volt-free relay outputs and numerous functions that can be selected using the LCD programmer. By default, the relays are enabled to give door open or closed position for easy interlocking with other equipment.

This means that a safety edge has not been detected, in this case only dead man closing is possible. If dead man closing is required this message won’t affect the operation of the door or any safety functions but if required; it can be removed by changing the door operating mode using the LCD programmer.

We can supply a version of the CS320 with additional plug-in modules and compliant draw-in photocells.

No, the closing timer can be turned off by fitting a link to the INPUT 1 terminals just above safety edge connections. The CS320 has a default 15 second closing time, to extend the time the LCD programmer is required.

This means the run time has exceeded, this only happens with mechanical limits. When setting mechanical limits always use adjustment mode, it’s safer and ensures that the run time is automatically learnt.
