Setting of gate and fixing of rod

Unpack gate lodge to right clear guy kit with from off-screw nuts and without gate doors, so that we
need fully check the setting of the gate on the screws M12 and booting of all cables through the
aperture at bottom gate. Then you use pads 12,5 mm and nuts M12, that fast screw all. The column of
the gate must be fixed fast, because during working time there are the forces like 5kN. The rod we
affix by means of competent holder (for profile or tube) with 4 screws M8 (imbus type) into fulcrum of
the rod.
The length of the pull enclose a rod opening in the bulk 90
In case of emergency it is possible to change this dimension.

and is adjusted during producing.

Earthing of road gate

After the fixing of the gate column we finish the earthing of metallic gate column. From the power
supply cable 230V AC, like CYKY 3x1,5 we affix the line wire PE to earth screw located on the right
side below.
Please verify the connecting of the motor PE clamp with herewith earth screw.

Length of rods, pulleys, springs

The rod balancing with spring

After assembling of the gate is necessary check the balancing of the rod with the spring / springs
choose by previous table. Every piece of make road gate is assembled for specified rod length, rice
time, spring balancing.
As far as is used other length of the rod, than is specified on manufacture label, you need to read
following instructions:
The spring balancing you can do with installed final length rod including all accessories, with spring /
springs (according the table) disconnected pull between gearbox and lever. Let's verify the balancing
of the rod with tensing or alternatively unfastening of the spring through spring bottom bolt. Balanced
rod - spring system has in all moving area the easy running and there's no need to help with hand
more then slightly.
After the spring balancing use the pull for connecting the gearbox to lever, check the place of 90
sector and feeze the safety nuts. These operations has grand amount at views of rod running fluency
and mechanical stress limitation of all gate case deals.

Note: The verifying of spring balancing is necessary after every change of rod length, type of rod,
adding of any accessories etc.

Setting of limit switches

o

The limit switches are check the run of the rod and guarantee switch-off the motor in last places of rod
running. The limit switches are located on the console near the gearbox. Switching flags are attached
with screws M5 (imbus type) on the bracket which is situated in outgoing gearbox axis.
Generally the limit switches guarantee 90
dead position, like with 180

o

angle of running. It means, that the rod has zero angle speed in last

o

angle of rod running and coming of gearbox lever near the

places of rod running. The system is designed in so far that the mechanical limits are not required.

Emergency opening

During using of road gate can arrive the situation, when is necessary open the gate alternatively (f.e.
the power supply is aborted).

! WARNING ! Emergency opening or closing do only
with shut-down power supply switch ! Harm hazard !

In this case you need apply the key on opposed motor site then pulley.
There are the flats put on the key. With swinging of the key you can move with gate rod.

Periodical adjustment

Automatic road gate is designed and made as without service device. For permanent error free
function we advice advise to execute these advances every three working months:

1) verify the earthing point - the screw, and in
case of findings feeze the nut

2) verify visualy of all threaded joints and in
case of findings feeze all needed

3) apply the WD 40 alternatively alike on the
functional area articulated bearing of the lever

4) verify the belt tension, whom the deflection
must be amount 10 mm (like on the picture),
in case of findings adjust the tension

of LED behind the plug-in module relative LED according the activated inputs.

Than the systém is in a standard status, lines on display are blinking.It means the barrier will

work normally.

Standard function:

In case the boom is in closed position the control unit waits for command OPEN - UP. This
can be made by following kinds : Push-button UP, Push-button Step-Step or by radio transmitter. If
during the opening an opposite command is given the boom stops for ca.1s and then starts to move
the opposite way. During the closing cycle inputs FOTO and DET are tested. If they are active, the
boom again stops and starts to move contrary. Input STOP blocks all moves.

b) new setting of control unit:

By simultanous pressing of both programming buttons
you can entry to the programming modus. Number of
programmable function is displayed on. This number can be
changed with the help of programming keys UP and DW. Choose
number of function, you want to change. By simultanous pressing
of both programming keys you can entry to the parameters
settings of this function. Values can be changed again with
programming keys UP and DW following the table of
programmable functions. After setting of required values they are
