2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Electromechanical piston designed to automatically operate residential gates. The irreversible gearmotor keeps the gate locked both in the closing and opening positions, making the use of the electric lock redundant.
The actuator is not supplied with mechanical clutch. The unit is controlled by means of an electronic control board with torque adjustment. End-of- stroke operation is controlled by the control board.

4) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR
4.1) Preliminary checks
Check that:
•The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy.
•Also make sure that the actuator pushes against the leaf reinforced section.
•The leaves move manually and without effort all along their stroke.
•The door stop plates are fitted at the end of both closing and opening strokes.
•If the gate has not been recently installed, check the wear condition of all components.
•Repair or replace faulty or worn parts.
The automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the state of the gate structure.
The diagram in fig. 2 should be used as a reference for installation and consult the table for the distances in mounting the gate post.
The diagram in fig. 2 uses the following legend: P Gate post rear fastening bracket

4.2) How to read the installation distance tables
Select “a” and “b” according to the angle in degrees α° that the gate has to open. The table shows the ideal value for “a” and “b” for an opening of α° = 90° at constant speed.
If there is too large a difference between “a” and “b”, the leaf will not travel smoothly and the pushing or pulling force will fluctuate during its stroke. To respect the opening speed and ensure the controller operates correctly, it is best to keep the difference between “a” and “b” as low as possible.
When “a” and “b” are at their maximum, the piston develops the maximum force.
4.3) Off-standard installations.
Fig. 3 shows an installation with a recess when there is not sufficient space between the leaf and perimeter wall.
When the leaf’s position does not allow for an “b” value listed in the table, the leaf’s hinge pivot can be shifted (fig. 4), or a recess can be made cut out of the actual gate-post (fig. 5).
4.4) Mounting the brackets to the gate-post and to the gate.
Fix the bracket “P” (fig. 6) to the gate-post with a good welding.
The fork “F” should be welded in the same way to the gate taking care that the actuator can then be mounted perfectly horizontal to the line of travel of the gate fig. 7.
If the gate operates on a slope (opening inwards with an uphill driveway), fig. 7 gives the maximum oscillations of the piston with respect to its horizontal.
• If the gate-post is in brick, the plate “PF” must be set soundly into the post

PHOBOS
using adequately sized cramps “Z” welded to the back of the plate (fig. 8).
•If the gate-port is in stone and the gate is small, the plate “PF” can be mounted with four metal expansion plugs “T” (fig. 9). If a larger gate is being installed it would be better to use a corner plate “PF” (fig. 10).
5) GROUND GATE STOPS
For the controller to operate correctly the gate stop “FA” must be used both in opening and closing, as shown in fig. 11.
6) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP
Lay out the electrical installation (fig. 12) with reference to the CEI 64-8 and
IEC 364 provisions, complying with the HD 384 and other national standards in force for electrical installation.
The mains power supply connections must be kept totally separate from the service connections (photocells, electric edges, control devices etc.).
WARNING! For connection to the mains, use a multipolar cable with a minimum of 3x1.5mm2 cross section and complying with the previously mentioned regulations. For example, if the cable is out side (in the open), it has to be at least equal to H07RN-F, but if it is on the inside (or outside but placed in a plastic cable cannel) it has to be or at least egual to H05VV-F with section 3x1.5mm2.
Connect the control and safety devices in compliance with the previously mentioned electrical installation standards.
Fig.12 shows the number of connections and the cross section for power supply cables having a length of approximately 100 metres; in case of longer cables, calculate the cross section for the true automation load.
When the auxiliary connections exceed 50-metre lengths or go through critical disturbance areas, it is recommended to decouple the control and safety devices by means of suitable relays.
The main automation components are (fig.12):

Warning! For actuator wiring and accessory connection, refer to the relevant instruction manuals. The control panels and accessories must be suitable for use and conform to current standards.
Should the opening or closing direction be incorrect, it is possible to invert the connections of operation 1 and operation 2 (black/brown) on the control board.
The first command after an interruption of the power supply should be an opening manoeuvre.
The cable sections and numbering are indicated in the diagram (fig. 12). For distances of over 100 meters, the cable section must be increased. All metal masses in the housings of equipment and automation must be earthed.
7) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE
WARNING: Check that the impact force value measured at the
The pushing force is calibrated by means of the torque regulator in the control unit. The optimum torque must allow a complete opening or closing cycle with the minimum force necessary. An excessive torque can reduce the anti-crush safety. In the other case, an insufficient torque can impede the manoeuvres. Consult the control unit’s instruction manual.
8) ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIMITING DEVICES
The correct adjustment of the limiting devices is obtained by setting the working time on the control board correctly. Refer to the instructions of the control board.
9) MANUAL OPENING
All controllers feature a key release mechanism. After lifting the lock cover
(fig.13), insert the release key supplied and turn it clockwise by 90°. Push the leaf manually to open the gate. To reset the motorised operation, turn the key in the opposite direction and refit the cover.
10) COVERS
An optional stem cover (mod.CPH) is available on request in order to protect the stem and to improve the appearance of the actuator. The actuator equipped with the stem cover mod. CPH looks like in fig.15.
The stem cover is mounted on the right or left actuator by simply inverting the position of the cover and making sure that the water drain outlet is directed downwards.
11) CHECKING THE AUTOMATION
Before considering the automation completely operational, the following checks must be made with great care:
•Check that all the components are firmly anchored.
•Control all the safeties work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic skirt, etc.).
•Check the emergency manoeuvre control.
•Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.
•Check the control unit’s electronic logic in normal (or customised) operation.
12) USE OF THE AUTOMATION
Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start button, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist. 149 Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation.
13) THE CONTROLS
With the automation the gate has a power driven opening and closing. The controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled, limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation characteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult the specific instruction booklets.
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and controls.
14) MAINTENANCE
When carrying out maintenance operation on the controller, disconnect it from the mains power supply. The actuator does not require periodical maintenance operations.
•Check the safety devices of the gate and automation.
•Periodically check the pushing force and correct the value of the electric torque in the control board if necessary.
•In case of unsolved operation failures, disconnect the unit from the mains power supply and ask for the intervention of qualified personnel
(installer).
When the unit is out of order, activate the manual release to perform manual opening and closing manoeuvres.
15) NOISE
The aerial noise produced by the gearmotor under normal operating conditions is constant and does not exceed 70dB(A).
16) SCRAPPING
Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations. In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular risks or danger. In case of recovered materials, these should be sorted out by type (electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
