CONNECTION
INPUTS / OUTPUTS

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.

8-12 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 the door to close. With an external voltage input the
voltage required can be from 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 60 VAC to 125 V AC between this
input and common (10).
Note: For other values contact Fermator aftersales.
With an internal voltage input the voltage provided 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.

VF7 Relay 3
 INPUTS / OUTPUTS

12 Open Signal
Is a signal that orders the door to open. With an external voltage input the voltage required
can could be from 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 60 V AC to 125 V AC between this input and
common (10).
Note: For other values contact Fermator aftersales.
With an internal voltage input the voltage provided is 12 V DC between this input and
Out +12 V (9).

13 Com Port
PUERTO COM
The serial port is used to connect with external devices, interfaces and COM PORT
future expansion devices. Operating speed 1.200 Baud per second,

current loop.

21 - 26 Priority Inputs

21 Reopen
This signal maybe used to connect the cabin "door open" button, an external barrier or
other devices. In order to active this signal connect the re-open input (21) with the +12 V
(23). Use voltage free contacts. The reopening signal has priority over the closing signal.

22 BARRIER FAILURE
This input is used to detect a failure from the Photoelectric Barrier installed.

23 Out +12 V
Isolated 12 Volts output available to activate the priority inputs via 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.

24 Bypass contact
This signal is used to connect an external security switch to detect door closed position.

25 Slow Closing
This signal is used for ordering the door to close slowly. The slow signal has priority over
the control signals and the barrier. It is provided to work with fire fighting systems.

26 Floor Level
This input is used to connect the external emergency supplier that allows the opening
manoeuvre in the case of power failure. Fermator emergency supplier uses a battery of 12
V, capable of prov iding power for 15 seconds for a passengers rescue.

INPUTS / OUTPUTS

30 - 47 Output relays and led indicators

Output relays have been provided to give continuous information to the main lift controller
concerning the status of the doors.

• Open
LED indicator and relay activated when the
doors are fully open.

• Closed
LED indicator and relay activated when the
doors are fully closed and locked.

• Photocell
LED indicator and relay activated when
the photocell or the reopening input is
operated.

• Obstruction
LED indicator and relay activated when an
obstacle is detected that stops the doors
from closing. The signal will reset when
the doors reach the opened or closed
position.

• Light curtain
LED indicator and relay activated when a failure occurs on the light curtain.

• Temperature
LED indicator and relay activated when the VF temperature or motor temperature exceeds
the safety limit. When this output is activated the controller must give the order to the
cabin to go to the next floor, open the door to let out the passengers and stop applying
voltage to the motor.

• Status
Blinking green LED indicating proper working conditions. If an OK STATUS
alarm occurs the LED illuminates red.

55 Encoder

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

Slave There is no automatic reopen movements. The doors will only react to an 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). The main lift controller must remove the close signal and active the open
signal.

Inputs Number 1 Input

The unit will be controlled by a single input. Any voltage between 12 V DC to 60 V DC or 60 V AC to 125 V AC
applied between terminals 8 & 10 will close the doors. Without an active input the door remains open. The 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.

Bypass Connected This option is to inform the circuit that the closed door contact is connected to the circuit. In the event that it is
to circuit connected to the circuit, it enables the options referring to the Bypass, otherwise these options are hidden.

Slow close signal Action Slow close is performed when the Slow close input is activated.

Command Slow close / open is performed when the Slow close input and Close / Open inputs are activated.

Unlock on standby If enabled, with the clutch / CDL fully closed the VF7 Relay opens the clutch / CDL only if the closing signal is
removed or after a delay time (Eco Delay). Once the clutch is open the VF7 Relay remains in standby. (This option
is not compatible with Eco Mode No).

Bypass* IMPORTANT: With this option enabled it is possible to have a output signal open and close active at the same time.
* This option is hidden if the option “Bypass Connected to circuit” is disconnected.

Bypass Function* When it is active after a power blackout the VF7 Relay will only need to reach the closed door position once
(detection of Bypass contact transition closed to open) to apply the normal speed profile.
IMPORTANT: The bypass contact must be installed before carrying out the door learning process. If the bypass
contact is removed or changes its position a door learning process has to be repeated.

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

Door Learning Carries out a Door Learning process to set up the door.
If the Motor calibration has not been completed before, it will be carried out during this process.
This process must be Carries out without the landing door coupled.
The door will carry out a close movement and then will carry out 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 learning process has been completed the parameters are stored
in non-volatile EEPROM.
Learning process:
1. The door will close completely in slow speed until the end to detect the 0 position. If the first movement is
not “close” and the “Bypass Connected to circuit” is connected and “Change rotation by Bypass” activated
the VF7 Relay will arrive at open position, and will automatically change the rotation sense. Then it will
start to close.
2. The door will open slowly counting the pulses from the encoder until it reaches the open mechanical stop.
”When it starts to open, it is necessary to open the CDL with by hand”.
3. The door will close after a short delay. It will calculate the acceleration and deceleration ramps to give the
optimum control of the doors.
Note: If the last movement is not “close” without “Bypass Connected to circuit” it is necessary to change the
rotation sense and restart the Door Learning process.

Program calibration

Program Calibration

Calibration The motor calibration process has to be carried out to detect the electrical characteristics of the motor
installed.

The calibration has to be done only once when the motor or the VF7 Relay module are replaced.
Before carrying out the motor calibration place the door in the middle position.

To perform an optimal calibration of the motor installed the process has to be performed without charge.
Never perform calibration with the car door and landing door coupled.

 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 prevent the door slamming on closing.

• CDL electronic.
When a power failure occurs while the door is fully closed, the VF7 Relay detects the voltage drop and
opens the CDL if the car is at floor level. This new security system could be used with a CDL. The CDL
electronic system could be enabled 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.

LIFT STANDARD EN 81-20/50

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

Kinetic energy

The average closing speed has to be limited to 10 J. To create this limit it is necessary to know the moving
mass, the door opening and the number of door panels. These parameters are programmed by default
except when the unit is a spare part. In this case the parameters have to be introduced by the VF7 Relay
menu program .

In order to comply with the standard it is necessary to configure some options and parameters:

Light curtain

• The light curtain is mandatory and can be

connected to the lift controller or to the VF7
Relay using pin 22.
• In case of failure or deactivation of the light
curtain the kinetic energy of the doors must BARRIER
be limited to 4J. To limit it the lift controller FAILURE

has to activate the slow close input, pin 25

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 with 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.
