We thank you for choosing this product. We are certain that it will fully meet your needs as to the performance it has been designed for.
This product has been designed and built for vehicle access control. AVOID ANY DIFFERENT USE.
Carefully read this manual supplied with the product as it contains important instructions regarding safety,
installation, use and maintenance.
1 GENERAL
These instructions apply to the following models: C850
The C850 is an electromechanical operator designed for moving sliding gates.
The non-reversing system is guaranteed by an electric brake that prevents manual movement of the sliding leaf when the motor is
stopped, and therefore does not require an electric lock.
A handy manual release makes it possible to manoeuvre the gate in case of black-out or operator inefficiency.

5 INSTALLING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
5.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
For the safety and correct operation of the automated system, ensure that the following conditions are met:
• The gate structure must be designed to be automated. In particular, the diameter of the wheels must conform to the weight of
the gate being automated, there must be a guide on top and mechanical limit switches sized to suit the weight and speed of the
movable leaf, to avoid derailment of the gate;
• Initially, leave at least 10 cm of clearance between the movable leaf stopping points (FCO and FCC) and the
mechanical stops of the gate. The final adjustment is made once the inverter programming procedure is completed.
Minimum distance 3 cm.
• The gate sliding rail must be linear and horizontal.
• Manual movement of the gate must be smooth along the entire stroke.
• The characteristics of the ground must guarantee sufficient solidity of the foundation plinth.
• No tubes or electrical cables should be present in the plinth digging area.
• If the gearmotor is exposed to vehicle transit, provide for adequate protection against accidental impact, when possible.
• Ensure that there is an efficient earth plate for connecting the gearmotor.

5.4 INSTALLING THE RACK
5.4.1 WELD-ON STEEL RACK (Fig. 13)
Before installing the rack, release the gearmotor,
as described in paragraph 8.
5.4.2 SCREW-ON STEEL RACK (Fig. 14)
Before installing the rack, release the gearmotor,
as described in paragraph 8.
1. Install the three threaded pawls on the rack element,
positioning them on top of the slot. In this way the play on the
slot will make it possible to make future adjustments.
2. Manually set the leaf in closing position.
3. Evenly rest the first section of the rack on the pinion and weld the
threaded pawl to the gate, as shown in Fig. 15.
4. Manually move the gate, ensuring that the rack is NOT resting on
the pinion (leave 1.5 mm of clearance) and weld the second
and third pawls.
5. Draw up another rack element to the previous one using a piece
of rack to mesh the teeth of the two elements, as shown in
Fig. 16.
6. Manually move the gate and weld the three threaded pawls, continuing until the gate is completely covered.
1. Manually set the leaf in closing position.
2. Rest the first piece of rack level on the pinion and place the spacer
between the rack and the gate, positioning it on top of the
slot. In this way the play on the slot will make it possible to
make future adjustments.
3. Mark the drilling point on the gate. Drill 6.5 mm Ø hole and thread
using an 8 mm Ø male. Tighten the bolt.
4. Manually move the gate, ensuring that the rack is NOT resting
on the pinion (leave 1.5 mm of clearance) and repeat the
operations from point 3.
5. Draw up another rack element to the previous one using a piece
of rack to mesh the teeth of the two elements, as shown in
Fig. 16.
6. Manually move the gate and, as for the first element, proceed with
securing until the gate is completely covered.

Important notes for installing the rack:
Check that during gate travel, all the rack
elements remain on the pinion.
Do not weld the rack elements together or to the
spacers.
Once rack installation is complete, to guarantee
correct meshing with the pinion, lower the
gearmotor approximately 1.5 - 2 mm using the
provided adjustment screws (Fig. 17 ref. ).
Tighten the fixing nuts (Fig. 9 ref. ) with 80
Nm of torque.
Tighten the fixing nuts (Fig. 10 ref. ) with 40
Nm of torque.
Do not use grease or other lubricating products
between the pinion and the rack (Fig. 17)
Manually check that the gate reaches the
mechanical stops smoothly and that there is
not friction during its travel.
6 OPERATION
6.1 CONNECTING THE CONTROL BOARD
Before carrying out any work on the board
(connections, programming, maintenance)
always cut off the electrical power.
• Follow points 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of the GENERAL
SAFETY REGULATIONS.
• Following the instructions shown in Fig. 3, place the
cables in the runners and make the electrical connections
with the chosen accessories.
• Always separate the power cables from the control and safety
cables (button, receiver, photocells, etc.).
• To avoid possible electrical disturbance, use separate
sheathing.

6.2 FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIMIT SWITCHES
To correctly adjust the limit switches, the control unit must be installed and correctly connected with all the
control and safety accessories.
The stopping and deceleration of the gate, during opening and/or closing, occurs when the cams inside the device activate the microswitches corresponding to the assigned function.
1. Prepare the operator for MANUAL operation, as described in section 8.
2. Loosen the screws and remove the limit switch unit cover (Fig. 20 ref. ).
3. Set the sliding leaf in open position, at least 10 cm before the mechanical limit stop.
4. Loosen the central locking screw of the limit switch unit (Fig. 22 ref. ).
5. Turn the screw corresponding to the FCO opening limit switch (Fig. 21 ref. ) until the microswitch is engaged by the cam.
6. In chart 1, knowing the weight of the sliding leaf, choose the operating speed and calculate the corresponding MINIMUM STOP
SPACE S[mm].
Chart 1
ROP - RCL MINIMUM STOP SPACE
Example:
P = 1000 kg
V = 0.6 m/sec
S = 400 mm
7. Then, move the sliding leaf back in closing position according to the amount of identified STOP SPACE.
8. Turn the screw corresponding to ROP opening deceleration (Fig. 21 ref. ) until the microswitch is engaged by the cam.
9. Place the sliding leaf in closed position, at least 10 cm before the mechanical limit stop.
10. Turn the screw corresponding to the FCC closing limit switch (Fig. 21 ref. ) until the microswitch is engaged by the cam.
11. Move the sliding leaf back in opening position according to the amount of STOP SPACE identified in chart 1.
12. Turn the screw corresponding to RCL closing deceleration (Fig. 21 ref. ) until the microswitch is engaged by the cam.
13. In chart 2, knowing the weight and the operating speed of the sliding leaf, calculate the corresponding DECELERATION TIME t[s].

C850 11 532015 - Rev.B
14. Set the F003 DECELERATION TIME and A021 OPERATING SPEED in the inverter (see section 12.2)
15. Do not modify the deceleration points (ROP/RCL) and/or stops (FCO/FCC) before having set the deceleration time and speed of the
inverter (see section 12.2)
16. Tighten the central locking screw of the limit switch unit (Fig. 22 ref. ).
17. Manually place the sliding leaf at half its travel and ensure that the limit switch position corresponds to Fig. 21
18. Refit the limit switch cover.
19. Manually close the sliding leaf.
20. Prepare the operator for NORMAL operation, as described in section 8.
21. Ensure that there is no danger and the safety devices are operating correctly.
22. Give an OPEN pulse and verify correct operation.
The maximum adjustable STOP SPACE is 5 m.
The operator is supplied with factory settings for automating gates with RIGHT-HAND opening. If the gate
requires LEFT-HAND opening, the association of the related opening and closing limit switches is reversed. For
these operations, follow the instructions contained in paragraph 11.4.9 Reversing Gate Opening Connections
from Right to Left.
