INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE GEARED MOTORS FIBO 300 - FIBO 400 ON SLIDING GATES.
FOR A PERFECT APPLICATION AND IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A RELIABLE PERFORMANCE OF FIBO 300 - FIBO 400 IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE FOLLOWING STEPS BE CARRIED OUT AND DRAWINGS BE KEPT TO.
FIBO 300 and FIBO 400 are electromechanical operators designed to open and close heavy industrial sliding gates, up to 2.500 kg
(Fibo 300 -1,5 HP) max. and 4.000 kg (Fibo 400 - 3,0 HP) max. gate weights respectively; the motor comes enclosed in a metallic
casing (protection cover) and access to it is by a customized key. The worm and crown gear coupling is made of steel and bronze,
suitable to withstand high stress conditions and heavy duty applications where signicant loads are involved.
They are controlled by an electronic unit Elpro 37 HP with power contactors, to which complementary accessories can be connected
such as remote controls, photocells, mechanical safety edges, ashers and other safety devices.
The whole lot of them represents a perfect safety system in support to the installation.
The manual override, disengaging the motor from the gate and allowing manual operations, is by an hexagonal box spanner
whose action is directly on the motor shaft, that is located inside the protection cover.
GATE INSPECTION
Make sure that the gate sliding track be rmly set into the ground foundation to prevent it from moving or setting at a later stage,
which might eventually lead into the gate going o the rail during its opening/closing travels.
NOTE WELL:
• make sure that proper gate stops be xed to ground in open and closed gate positions, to prevent the gate
!
from overrunning the upper track;
• make sure the gate be tted with a safety system to prevent it from falling over;
• prevent the gate from crashing into the gate posts or gate stops.
English
MAIN COMPONENTS TO AUTOMATE A HEAVY SLIDING GATE
The gate must be tted with upper and lower rails for it to safely slide along them and be prevented from falling over independetly
from its travel position. In addition to this and as extra safety, provide one or two gate stops to be xed to the ground both in
opening and closing positions to prevent the gate from overrunning the rails.
Close to the gate, in the position as indicated in Pic. 1, provide an accessible pit for the electrical junctions of the safety and command
accessories, whose cables are to be laid underground through suitable conduits to be set up as indicated in Pic. 13.

FITTING THE GEAR RACK TO THE GATE
With heavy gates, the standard gear rack is to be double mounted and only the steel version 22x22 mm per bar is recommended.
It is to be tted using support angles (not included) which are to be rmly welded to the gate following these instructions:
• Weld the single bars into compact double modules as indicated in Pic. 11.
• The total length of the gear rack must be equal to the gate travel, including the parts taken by the limit switch striking plates,
which are to be fastened on the rack itself.
• Provide a temporary setup for the gear rack on the gate and make sure there is a tip clearance of about 2 mm between the drive
gear and the teeth of the bar.
• Make sure the gear rack is perfectly aligned all along the gate travel before welding it rmly: test the correct alignment by manually
running the gate full track, Fibo 300 or Fibo 400 in disengaged mode, and make sure the drive gear turns smoothly without any
friction or jerking.
• Once satised with the outcome of the rst running test, rmly weld the gear rack as indicated.

INSTALLING THE LIMIT SWITCH STRIKING PLATES
Gate stop, ie. stop of the drive gear, occurs when either striking plate meets the respective limit switches. Therefore the striking
plates are to be installed on the gear rack once the open/closed positions of the gate have been precisely assessed, ie. when the
gate is at the end/limit of the open and close cycles as required: it is recommended that the limit switches be activated a few
seconds earlier than the gate reaches the end of the travel where a complete stop is required (Pic.12).
