Spy

The Spy family of motors is designed to automate sectional and protruding/non-protruding up-and-over doors. For up-and-over garage doors, the SPA5 accessory must be used.

The limitations on use of the various models are given below. The data are indicative only. It is important to also consider other variables: the balancing of the garage door, friction of the guides and other even occasional phenomena such as the presence of wind or ice which could hinder movement.

* for this type of installation, the SPA5 accessory is required

The Quick Setup function lets you programme the control unit of the motor easily and quickly when this is in the default condition with virgin memory. With this function, the control unit will independently acquire the devices, learn the opening and closing positions and memorise one or more transmitters, considerably reducing programming times.

To find out how to perform the Quick Setup procedure, watch the video or go to the corresponding FAQ.

To use the Quick Setup function to programme the control unit easily and quickly, the motor must be set to default, with a virgin memory and the PROG selector of the control unit in the 0 position.

Watch the video or proceed as follows:

• Make sure power to the motor is shut off.
• Release the motor by pulling the release cord downwards.
• Manually position the garage door at the midpoint of its movement
• Block the motor by pulling the cord downwards again.
• Power the motor.
• Check that the OK LED and LEDs L1 and L2 start flashing.
• Press and release the OPEN key of the control unit.
• Check that LEDs L1 and L2 on the control unit start flashing quickly for a few seconds. The devices have been memorised correctly.
• Check that LEDs L3 and L4 on the control unit start flashing.
• Wait for the garage door to close fully, open and then close again. The positions have been learnt correctly.
• The OK LED on the control unit flashes very fast, then LED L2 comes on steadily. The control unit is now in radio self-learning mode.
• Within 10 seconds, press and hold the key of the transmitter you want to associate with the control unit until LED L2 emits three long flashes to show that memorisation has taken place, then release.
• To memorise a second transmitter, within 10 seconds, press and hold the key you want to associate with the control unit until LED L2 emits three long flashes to show that memorisation has taken place, then release.
• Wait for about 10 seconds to allow the control unit to exit radio self-learning mode. The transmitters have been memorised correctly.

To delete the parameters memorised previously in the control unit, while retaining the memorised radio codes, proceed as follows:

• Position the PROG selector to the left, in position 1.
• Press and hold the OPEN and CLOSE keys of the control unit simultaneously for 3 seconds until LED L1 starts flashing very quickly, then release.

The parameters of the control unit have been deleted from the memory. Reposition the PROG selector to the right, in position 0.

To delete the radio codes memorised in the control unit, proceed as follows, respecting the sequence:

• Position the PROG selector to the left, in position 1.
• Press and hold the OPEN and CLOSE keys of the control unit simultaneously for 6 seconds, until LED L2 flashes very quickly then remains on steadily. Then release the keys.

All the radio codes have been deleted from the memory. Reposition the PROG selector to the right, in position 0.

To totally delete the memory of the SPYBOX / SPYBOXB control unit, proceed as follows:

• Position the PROG selector to the left, in position 1.
• Press and hold the OPEN and CLOSE keys of the control unit simultaneously for 10 seconds until LED L3 starts flashing very quickly, then release.

The memory of the control unit has been totally deleted. Reposition the PROG selector to the right, in position 0.

In level one programming of the control unit, you can activate or deactivate a number of functions.

Each LED represents a different parameter.

• LED L1 automatic closing: when open, the garage door closes automatically after the programmed value. The pause time is initially set at 40 seconds, but may be modified to 10, 20, 60, 80, 120, 160 or 200 seconds.
• LED L2 close after photo: the garage door is closed at the end of transit, when the subject has entered or exited.  This function requires photocells to be installed.
• LED L3 always close: when the control unit comes on, the closing manoeuvre is activated, preceded by a 3 second flash.
• LED L4 standby: when active, a minute after the end of the manoeuvre, the control unit turns off the output and transmitters of the BlueBUS photocells to reduce consumption.
  To use the Solemyo System, "all in standby" mode must have been activated using the Oview programmer.
• LED L5 Stop 8K2: tests the 8K2 sensitive edge at the start of each manoeuvre.
  Activate the function and then acquire the devices with the 8K2 connected.
• LED L6 block OPEN and CLOSE command keys: deactivates functioning of the OPEN and CLOSE keys of the control unit when the PROG selector is positioned to the right, in position 0.
• LED L7 lock transmitter memorisation: prevents memorisation of new transmitters on the internal radio receiver.
• LED L8 deactivate internal radio receiver: deactivates functioning of the internal radio receiver; the control unit cannot therefore be controlled via the transmitters memorised in the receiver.

In level one programming of the control unit, you can activate or deactivate a number of functions. Each LED, from L1 to L8 corresponds to a different function (see FAQ).

To enter level one programming of the control unit and activate or deactivate a function, proceed as follows:

1. Position the PROG selector to the left, in position 1.
2. Press and hold the STOP key for 3 seconds until LED L1 starts flashing, then release.
3. Press the OPEN or CLOSE keys of the control unit repeatedly until you come to the LED corresponding to the desired function.
4. Press the STOP key to change the state of the function: if the LED corresponding to the function emits a long flash, the function is active; if it emits a short flash, it is not active.

After modifying the functions, exit programming mode by waiting 10 seconds, or positioning the PROG selector to the right in position 0.

In level two programming of the control unit, you can manage the following parameters:

• LED L1 Pause time
• LED L2 Operating modes
• LED L3 Motor speed
• LED L4 Flash output
• LED L5 Motor force
• LED L6 Motor sensitivity
• LED L7 ING2
• LED L8 Radio management

For the various levels of each parameter, consult the instruction manual, pages 18 and 19.

To access level two programming of the control unit, proceed as follows:

1. Position the PROG selector to the left, in position 1.
2. Press and hold the STOP key for 3 seconds until LED L1 starts flashing, then release.
3. Press the OPEN or CLOSE keys of the control unit repeatedly until you come to the LED corresponding to the desired function.
4. Keep pressing the STOP key, the LED goes off. Still pressing the STOP key, press the OPEN or CLOSE key of the control unit repeatedly until the LED corresponds to the desired parameter, then release the STOP key.

To exit programming mode, wait 10 seconds, or position the PROG selector to the right in position 0.

To memorise a new transmitter using another transmitter memorised previously, you must take up a position near the control unit with the motor stationary and proceed as follows:

1. Press and hold the key of the new transmitter you want to memorise for 8 seconds, then release.
2. In the old transmitter, press the key memorised in the control unit for two seconds, then release for two seconds, repeat three times.
3. Press and hold the key of the new transmitter you want to memorise for 5 seconds.

The new transmitter has been memorised.

Caution: if after step two a manoeuvre begins, the procedure must be repeated from the beginning.

If a flashing light is connected to the FLASH output of the control unit, while a manoeuvre is underway, it emits one flash every second, indicating that the motor is in movement.

In the event of malfunction, the flashing light emits shorter flashes. These are repeated twice, separated by a one second pause.

The same indications are also emitted by the LED courtesy light and by the OK/BB LED

If the flashing light comes on, observe the number of short flashes. These are repeated twice, separated by a one second pause.

Check whether the transmitter batteries are flat and replace with a new pair if necessary.

Check that the transmitter is correctly memorised in the radio receiver. If it is correctly memorised, check correct emission of the radio signal by the transmitter.

Check that the motor is powered at a mains voltage of 230 V.

If this is the case, check that the fuses have not blown. If there is a blown fuse, replace it with another fuse with the same characteristics and current value.

Check that the command has actually been received: if the command reaches the PP input, the OK LED emits a double flash to indicate that the command has been received.
