1. Q: What types of limit switches are supported by the TS 971? Is it easy to install and commission?
Answer: TS 971 Controller Compatible DES Electronic Limit 和 NES Mechanical Limit Two limit switch systems for the entire GfA ELEKTROMATEN drive range. Commissioning is very easy:
- Electronic limits (DES)The upper and lower limit positions of the door can be quickly adjusted from the control panel without additional tools;
- Mechanical Limit (NES): It also supports quick adjustments and is compatible with older limit switch systems;
- The controller automatically detects the type of limit switch, eliminating the need for manual setting.
2. Q. What safety features are integrated in TS 971? Does it comply with safety standards?
Answer: TS 971 passed. TÜV NORD CERT GmbH Certified in accordance with several safety standards: DIN EN 12453, DIN EN 12978, DIN EN 60335-1, DIN EN 60335-2-103, DIN EN ISO 13849-1.
Core Safety Features：
- Automatic safety edge detection and evaluation (supports NO/NC/8k2/1k2 types);
- Safety light curtain connection and testing;
- Emergency stop input (in accordance with EN 13850);
- Fall arrest switch input;
- Door-in-door/pull rope switch monitoring;
- Emergency manual operation function.
3. Q. Does the TS 971 have built-in wireless capability? What wireless devices can be adapted?
Answer: TS 971 Standard Integrated Wireless ModuleSupport:
- 2.4GHz Wireless Security Device (WSD): For wireless safety touch-side signalling;
- 434MHz Wireless ReceiverAdaptable to handheld remotes from multiple manufacturers, with up to 64 Remote control;
- The battery voltage of the wireless safety device can be read and monitored by the controller.
4. Q. What modes of operation and types of safe contact are supported by the TS 971?
Answer: Multiple operating modes are supported and can be flexibly selected via the menu: Tap-and-hold door opening/closing, self-holding door opening (tap-and-hold closing), self-holding door opening/closing, and tap-and-hold operation with safety contact activation.
Type of safety contact：
- Electrical Safety Contacts: 8.2kΩ terminating resistor, NO normally open contact;
- Pneumatic safety contacts: 1.2kΩ terminating resistor, NC normally closed contact;
- Optical Safety Edge System: Infrared beam sensing;
- Safety Light Curtain: Non-contact protection.
5. Q. Can the TS 971 control variable frequency motors? What inverter functions are available?
Answer: The TS 971 supports GfA Variable Frequency Drives (FI series) with the following inverter functions:
- Adjustable opening/closing speed: The output speed can be adjusted according to the weight of the door and the operating requirements;
- Adjustable acceleration/deceleration time: 1.0 second step for DI series, 0.1 second step for FI series;
- Crawl speed setting: End deceleration function to reduce shock;
- Setting up of high-speed section of the gate: Increases closing speed and efficiency in areas above 2.5 metres from the ground;
- Overload monitoring: Recognises and reacts to whether a person or object is caught in the door.
📋 TS981 Frequently Asked Questions and Functional Features
The following FAQs and features about the TS 981 Door Controller will help you quickly understand the product.
1. Q. What are the major upgrades of the TS 981 over the TS 971?
Answer: The TS 981 is an upgraded model of the TS 971 with the following main additions:
- Traffic light management: Supports one-way/two-way pass control;
- Airlock interlock function: Double door interlock control for clean rooms and air showers;
- Smoke evacuation function (RWA): Compliance with smoke emission requirements for industrial buildings;
- Anti-trapping protection (X18): Independent anti-clip inputs;
- SD/MMC card interface: Software upgrades/data saving;
- Condition Monitoring Interface (SMF): Remote monitoring output.
The TS 981 is particularly suited to industrial door applications where traffic control, double door interlocking or smoke extraction is required.
2. Q. How does the traffic light management function of the TS 981 work?
Answer: The TS 981 integrates a complete traffic light management system that supports:
- one-way mode: For scenarios where the doorway is wide enough for two-way traffic but signal control is required, with a green light on when the door is fully open and a red flashing warning light during closing;
- two-way mode: Apply to the doorway width is not enough for two-way traffic scene, can be set up inside and outside the priority, green light extension time of 3-90 seconds adjustable, the warning time of 0-10 seconds adjustable, the channel clearing time of 0-90 seconds adjustable.
3. Q. How does the TS 981 enable double door interlocking (airlock function)?
Answer: TS 981 Adopted SLF interface Enables interlocking control of two doors:
- Only ordinary cables are required to connect the SLF interfaces of both controllers;
- Set both controllers to “ON” in menu 7.1;
- interlocking logic: When one door opens, the other stays closed; a closed door can open automatically after a set delay (0-10 seconds).
No additional logic controllers are required, and it is widely used in air shower rooms, clean rooms, explosion-proof areas and other scenarios that require airtight isolation.
4. Q. What external safety devices are supported by the TS 981?
Answer: The TS 981 offers a wide range of interfaces to external devices:
- X2: Safety contacts, door safety switches, light curtains;
- X3: Emergency stop input (in accordance with EN 13850);
- X5/X15: Internal and external controls (3-position push button/key switch);
- X6/X16: Internal and external photoelectric/light curtains;
- X7/X17: Pull cord switch/remote control;
- X8: Half-open function;
- X11: Automatic door closing switch;
- X12: Smoke exhaust (RWA) input;
- X13: Traffic light control (2 pairs of traffic lights);
- X18: Anti-trapping protection input;
- X20/X21: Passive relay outputs (2 channels).
5. Q. How are the maintenance counters for the TS 981 set?
Answer: The TS 981 integrates a door run counter for easy maintenance planning:
- Counting range: 1,000 - 99,000 times (1,000 steps);
- addressee: The count is reduced by 1 each time the door reaches the open limit;
- Response to set point: Display only the message (“CS”) / Display the message and switch to the pointing mode / Display the message and switch to the pointing mode and trigger the relay contacts;
- The counting cycle can be reset after maintenance, eliminating the need to replace the controller.
