Characteristics / Preliminary operations

1. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OPERATOR

1.0 GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

• ZT 4 is a hydraulic swing gate operator, specially designed for residential use.

• The ZT 4 operator, if installed correctly, conforms to the current safety standards.

List of versions: C: Hydraulic lock for closing only (with lock inaccessible when the gate is open) SF: No hydraulic lock - braking action (the gate leaf can be moved by hand with a minimum of resistance, if moved slowly; there is also a

release device to facilitate opening -needs an electric lock)

• The C version, with hydraulic closing lock, does not require the use of the electric lock and keeps gate leaves of less than 1.8 m in closed position.

• The emergency release (to be used in the event of a power failure) is safe to use and easily manoeuvrable and enables the user to move the gate by hand using the triangular key provided. The release is easily accessible via a hatch on the upper cover of the operator.

• Safety against entrapment risks is guaranteed by sensing valves, settable during installation.

The noise level of the above models, referred to the working of the operator, independently of the gate leaf and the post, falls within the maximum limits set by EEC standards.

Warning

1.2 CHOOSING THE TYPE OF AUTOMATION

Before mounting, choose the type of automation on the basis of the characteristics and dimensions of the element to be operated.

Caution

• The choice of the most suitable type of automation assures an efﬁ cient operation of the unit and minimises the possibility of failures.

• The versions listed above are also recommended for use with solid gate leaves (with the operator inaccessible when the gate is open).

• The C version model, suitable for use in windy areas, must not be ﬁ tted to gate leaves of up to 1.8 m.

The peripheral speed of the gate leaf must always fall within the limits of the current safety regulations. Also, it is important to avoid the use of high-speed operators on wide gate leaves, as this could cause the leaves to bang violently against the gate stop (see the “Technical Data” table).

2.0 COMPONENTS LAYOUT (B2)

A - Aprimatic ﬂ ashing warning/courtesy lamp (to be positioned at a

point clearly visible from both approaches)

B - Aprimatic safety photocell C - Manual key-operated control unit (magnetic, digital, keyboard

combination lock, mechanical, etc.)

D - Aprimatic microprocessor control unit in watertight container (if

possible, to be ﬁ tted in a position sheltered from atmospheric agents)

F - Watertight operator electricity supply junction box

(recommended), to be positioned so that cables are not subject to dangerous stretching during the gate motion

G - Antenna H - Aprimatic ZT series operators I - Electric lock (optional) L - Open position gate stop M - Close position gate stop N - Ground connection for metal framework

Information

Consult the price-list for additional (optional) safety devices.

2.1 SYSTEM ELECTRICAL CONNECTION

- When making the electrical connections,carefully follow the instructions for each of the components, referring to the wiring diagram D1.

• Make the electrical connection of the single components after having completed their installation.

• The entire circuit must be made consistent with the current safety regulations.

• Use cables with a cross-section of 1.5 mm

• Protect the operator power cable with a sheath if necessary; do this before connecting the cable to the junction boxes.

• Every operator comes complete with a pickup capacitor. During installation, connect the capacitor to the electrical equipment according to the wiring diagram supplied.

- After making the electrical connections, check the thrust force at the end of the gate leaf; if necessary, adjust the pressure of the operator according to the procedure described in the speciﬁ c paragraph.

3. CHECKS AND OPERATIONS PRIOR TO THE INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATOR

3.0 CHECKING THE GATE

• Before proceeding with the mounting, do a complete check on the gate leaves making sure that they are in good condition and not broken or damaged in any way.

• Ensure the motion of the gate leaves is uniform and the hinges have no play and do not rub.

Otherwise, hinges must be repaired so that the gate leaves can be moved easily by hand or, if repair is impossible, hinges must be replaced.

• Check that the gate leaves are plumb (when perfectly still at any point in the swing) (B1B); when the gate leaves are completely closed,

check that the closure is even throughout the whole height of the gate leaves.

• Using a dynamometer, check that the opening and closing effort of the gate, to be measured from the end of the gate leaf, does not exceed 15 kg (147 N).

Before deciding on the ﬁ nal position of the mountings, it is necessary to:

• Choose the most suitable height on the gate leaf for the operator front mounting. If possible, it should be positioned halfway up the gate leaf. As a rule, the ideal point is always in the strongest area where the ﬁ xing of the gate leaf has the least effect. If there is not a broad strip of steel in the gate framework, then a suitable support needs to be welded on in the area where the front mounting is to be positioned in order to spread the load over a wide zone (B1A).

• Check whether the chosen area needs reinforcing or strengthening in any way. Make the same check on the gate leaf support posts.
