Notes on rack installation
• Make sure that, during the gate travel, all
the rack elements do not exit the pinion.
• Do not, on any account, weld the rack
elements either to the spacers or to each
other.
• When the rack has been installed, to ensure
it meshes correctly with the pinion, it is
advisable to lower the gearmotor position
by about 1.5 mm (Fig.15).
• Manually check if the gate correctly
reaches the mechanical limit stops
maintaining the pinion and rack coupled
and make sure there is no friction during
gate travel.
• Do not use grease or other lubricants
between rack and pinion.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
If installed and used correctly, the 740-24V automated system will ensure a high
degree of safety.
Some simple rules regarding behaviour will avoid any accidental trouble:
• Do not stand near the automated system and do not allow children and
other people or things to stand there, especially while it is operating.
• Keep radiocontrols or any other pulse generator well away from children to
prevent the automated system from being activated involuntarily.
• Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
• Do not willingly obstruct gate movement.
• Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with gate movement.
• Keep light signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.
• Do not attempt to activate the gate by hand unless you have released it.
• In the event of malfunctions, release the gate to allow access and wait for
qualified technical personnel to do the necessary work.
• After enabling manual operation, switch off the power supply to the system
before restoring normal operation.
• Do not make any alterations to the components of the automated system.
• Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatsoever and contact
qualified personnel only.
• Call in qualified personnel at least every 6 months to check the efficiency of
the automated system, safety devices and earth connection.
DESCRIPTION
The 740-24V automated system is ideal for controlling vehicle access areas of
medium transit frequency.
The 740-24V automated system for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical operator
transmitting motion to the sliding gate via a rack pinion or chain appropriately
coupled to the gate.
Operation of the sliding gate is controlled by an electronic control unit housed
inside the operator or in a hermetically sealed outdoor enclosure.
When, with the gate closed, the unit receives an opening command by
radiocontrol or from another suitable device, it activates the motor until the
opening position is reached.
If automatic operation was set, the gate re-closes automatically after the selected
pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic operation was set, a second pulse must be sent to close
the gate again.
An opening pulse during re-closing, always causes movement to be reversed.
A stop pulse (if provided) always stops movement.
The light signalling indicates that the gate is currently moving.
For details on sliding gate behaviour in different function logics, consult the
installation technician.
The automated systems include obstacle-detection and/or safety devices
(photocells, edges) that prevent the gate from closing when there is an obstacle
in the area they protect.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is not operating and,
therefore, it is not necessary to install any lock.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the release system.
The gearmotor does not have a mechanical clutch and, therefore, it is coupled
to a unit with an electronic clutch offering the necessary anti-crushing safety if
the system is completed with the necessary safety devices.
A convenient manual release with customised key makes it possible to move the
gate in the event of a power failure or malfunction.
