Thank you for buying this product, our company is sure that you will be more than satisfied with the product’s performance. The product is supplied with a “Warnings” leaflet and an “Instruction booklet”. These should both be read carefully as they provide important information about safety, installation, operation and maintenance. This product complies with the recognised technical standards and safety regulations. We declare that this product is in conformity with the following European Directives: 89/336/EEC and 73/ 23/EEC (and subsequent amendments).

1) GENERAL OUTLINE

The ICARO actuator offers ample installation versatility, thanks to the extremely low position of the pinion, the compactness of the actuator and to the height and depth which can be very easily adjusted. It is equipped with an antisquash electronic device, which ensures utmost safety. The emergency manual release can be activated very easily by means of a knob featuring a personalised key.

The gate stop is controlled by electromechanical end-of-stroke microswitches or, for very cold areas, by proximity sensors.

The control board can be built-in or installed onto a separate cabinet.

The gearmotor (fig. 1) is made up of the following:

M Motor

RWorm screw - worm wheel reduction gear

SElectromechanical end-of-stroke unit or proximity sensor

PPinion with release

CControl board with capacitor

EObstacle detection device (Encoder)

2) GENERAL SAFETY

WARNING! An incorrect installation or improper use of the product can cause damage to persons, animals or things.

The “Warnings” leaflet and “Instruction booklet” supplied with this product should be read carefully as they provide important information about safety, installation, use and maintenance.

Scrap packing materials (plastic, cardboard, polystyrene etc) according to the provisions set out by current standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene bags out of children’s reach.

Keep the instructions together with the technical brochure for future reference.

This product was exclusively designed and manufactured for the use specified in the present documentation. Any other use not specified in this documentation could damage the product and be dangerous.

The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from improper use of the product, or use which is different from that expected and specified in the present documentation.

Do not install the product in explosive atmosphere.

The construction components of this product must comply with the following European Directives: 89/336/CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and subsequent amendments. As for all non-EEC countries, the abovementioned standards as well as the current national standards should be respected in order to achieve a good safety level.

The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting from failure to observe Good Technical Practice when constructing closing structures (door, gates etc.), as well as from any deformation which might occur during use.

The installation must comply with the provisions set out by the following European Directives: 89/336/CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and subsequent amendments.

Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on the installation.

Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply, having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3mm.

Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just before the power supply mains.

Check that earthing is carried out correctly: connect all metal parts for closure (doors, gates etc.) and all system components provided with an earth terminal.

Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are needed to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing, conveying and shearing.

Position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where it can be easily seen, and fix a Warning sign to the structure.

The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation safety and correct operation when other manufacturers’ components are used.

Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.

Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorised by the company.

Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the manual opening operation in case of emergency.

Do not allow persons or children to remain in the automation operation area.

Keep radio control or other control devices out of children’s reach, in order to avoid unintentional automation activation.

The user must avoid any attempt to carry out work or repair on the automation system, and always request the assistance of qualified personnel.

Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions, is not allowed.

4) PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before proceeding to any installation work, check that the gate structure 99 conforms to whatever is prescribed by the current standards, and in particular that:

The gate sliding track is linear and horizontal, and the wheels are suitable for supporting the gate weight.

The gate manual operation can be carried out smoothly along its entire run, and there is no excessive side slipping.

A correct play is provided between the upper guide and the gate to ensure regular noiseless movement.

The opening and closing gate stops are positioned.

The established position for gearmotor fixing allows the emergency manoeuvre to be carried out smoothly and safely. In the case where the elements checked do not meet the above requirements, proceed to carrying out the necessary corrective actions or replacements.

WARNING: Remember that control devices are intended to facilitate gate operation, but can not solve problems due to any defects or deficiency resulting from failure to carry out correct installation or maintenance.

Take the product out of its packing and inspect it for damage. Should it be damaged, contact your dealer. Remember to dispose of its components (cardboard, polystyrene, nylon, etc.) according to the current prescriptions.

5) BASE PLATE ANCHORING

5.1) Standard position

Dig a hole where the cement pad with the buried base plate log bolts is to be placed in order to fix the reduction gear unit (fig.3). If the sliding track is already there, digging must be partly carried out in the track foundation casting. This way, should the track foundation casting sag, the gearmotor base would also lower, thus maintaining the play between pinion and rack (approximately 1-2 mm).

Position the base plate according to the dimensions specified in fig.4.

The pinion symbol printed on the base plate must be visible and directed towards the gate. This also ensures the correct positioning of the raceways for electrical connections.

Let the flexible pipes containing electrical cables protrude from the base plate.

In order to keep the base plate in its correct position during installation, it may be useful to weld two iron flat bars under the track, and then weld
