FIBO 300

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE SLIDING

GATE OPERATOR

FOR CORRECT FIBO 300 INSTALLATION AND GOOD PERFORMANCE, PLEASE READ THE INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED IN THIS MANUAL
CAREFULLY AND KEEP TO THE DIAGRAMS.
IMPORTANT: THE ENTIRE INSTALLATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL IN COMPLIANCE WITH
EN 12453 – EN 12445 SAFETY STANDARDS AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH MACHINERY DIRECTIVE 98/37/EC.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The three-phase 1.1KW (1.5 HP) FIBO 300 is an automation for heavy sliding gates and industrial doors (the field of use varies from a
gate weight of 1˙000 to approx. 2˙500 Kg); the gear motor unit is installed inside a sheet steel protection cover, which is fixed to a thick
metal base plate. The protection cover houses the power panel and the electronic command programmer, while the limit switches are
already attached to the body of the gear motor. The protection cover can only be accessed by using the customized key. This is a strong
and reliable automation for intense opening/closing cycles. The drive shaft is in direct contact with a mechanical torque control device;
worm and gear are made of bronze and steel and are supported by bearings, in an oil bath. The irreversible worm-gear coupling makes
it possible to block the gate in any stop position. A manual overriding system allows manual gate operation in emergency events such
as power failure.

POINTS TO CHECK WITH THE GATE

- IMPORTANT: Make sure that the gate track is well fixed to a solid foundation in order to prevent deformation which would result in
unbalanced gate motion (Pic. 1).

- IMPORTANT: Make sure that gate stops are fixed in the open and closed gate positions so that the gate does not over travel the
permitted limit and exit the upper guide (Pic. 1).

- IMPORTANT: Make sure that, once the gate has reached the end of the permitted travel area, it does not hit the gate posts or special
gate stops so as to avoid damaging the gate structure (Pic. 1).

FITTING THE BASE PLATE

- The first operation involves preparing a cable containment well near the installation, connected to the FIBO 300 base plate by an
appropriate conduit for electrical connections (Pic. 3).

- In order to fit the base plate “G” it is necessary to firstly remove the protection cover “H” by unscrewing the four fixing screws “A”
from the bottom of the automation sides (Pic. 2).

- The base plate “G” should be fixed into place with M16 plugs “T”, which must be firmly anchored in the flooring,

respecting the base

plate hole centre distances and making sure that the automation base plate “G” is perfectly levelled by using spirit levels (Pic. 3).

MANUAL GATE AUTOMATION RELEASE

The release operation frees the gate’s movement from the installed operator in events such as power cuts and during Fibo 300 installation
operations.

- Open the cover door using the customized key “C” (Pic. 2)
Use a 27 mm box spanner “M” on the M18 self-locking nut on the drive shaft located immediately beneath the electric panel support:

­turn the nut a few times in an anti-clockwise direction so that the drive gear “I” located behind the automation becomes idle (Pic. 4).

RACK FITTING OPERATIONS

IMPORTANT: in order to achieve effective installation, there should be a gap of

approximately 2 mm between the teeth of the rack and

drive gear coupling (Pic. 7).

- Use a double rack of 22 x 22 mm thickness (we recommend using an angular support in order to connect the racks to the gate) (Pic. 6).

- Temporarily clamp the rack to the gate, levelling it using a spirit level for the entire length of the gate: the rack must mesh the idle
Fibo 300 driving gear “I” smoothly and without friction. This should be manually tested by running the system backwards and forwards
along the whole length of the gate for its effective course.

- Firmly weld the two racks together and then to the gate with an angular support 50x50x6, respecting the pitch between the teeth in
the rack junctions, using a spare rack as a gage for that purpose (Pic. 8).

INSTALLATION OF LIMIT SWITCH STRIKE PLATES “F’

In order to stop the gate’s movement, the Fibo 300 has two hermetic roller tip limit switches positioned behind the automation, one of
which operates during closing and one during opening (Pic. 5).
The two strike plates “F” for stopping gate movement during opening and closing must be fixed to the gate by screws (Pic. 9), in such
a position that the limit switch roller tips come into action as soon as they meet the strike plates “F”.

TORQUE CONTROL AND ADJUSTMENT

In order to adjust the operator torque, open the door with the customized key, then use a
locking nut located on the front beneath the electric power panel “E.P.P.”: tighten in order to increase the torque and loosen in order
to reduce the torque (Pic. 10).

The electronic control panel Elpro 10 Plus, new generation, is designed to operate the sliding gates. Power supply is 230/400V three-phase. Built in full compliance with
BT 93/68/CE Low/High Voltage and EMC 93/68/CE Electro-Magnetic Compatibility Regulations. Fitting operations are recommended by a qualified technician in conformity
to the existing safety standards.
The manufacturing company declines any responsability for incorrect handling and application; also, it reserves the right to change or update the control panel any time.

PLEASE NOTE:

- The control panel must be installed in a sheltered, dry place, inside the box provided with it.

- Make sure that the power supply to the electronic programmer is 400V ±10%

- Make sure that the power supply to the Electric Motor is 400V ±10%

- For distances of over 50 metres we recommend using electric cables with bigger sections.

- Fit the mains to the control panel with a 0.03A high performance circuit breaker.

- Use 1.5mm2 section wires for voltage supply, electric motor and flashing lamp.
Maximum recommended distance 50m.
Use 1mm

2

section wires for limit switches, photocells, push-buttons/key-switch and accessories.

- Bridge terminals 1 and 2 if no photocells are required.

- Bridge terminals 3 and 6 if no key- or push-button switches are required.
N.W: To fit extra accessories such as lights, CCTV etc. use only solid state relays to prevent damages to the microprocessor.
