GENERAL WARNINGS FOR PEOPLE SAFETY
INTRODUCTION
This operator is designed for a specic scope of applications as
indicated in this manual, including safety, control and signaling
accessories as minimum required with FADINI equipment. □
Any applications not explicitly included in this manual may
cause operation problems or damages to properties and
people. □ Meccanica Fadini snc is not liable for damages
caused by the incorrect use of the equipment, or for
English
applications not included in this manual or for malfunctioning
resulting from the use of materials or accessories not
recommended by the manufacturer. □ The manufacturer
reserves the right to make changes to its products without
prior notice. □ All that is not explicitly indicated in this manual
is to be considered not allowed.
BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before commencing operator installation assess the suitability
of the access, its general condition and the structure. □ Make
sure that there is no risk of impact, crushing, shearing,
conveying, cutting, entangling and lifting situations, which
may prejudice people safety. □ Do not install near any source of
heat and avoid contacts with ammable substances. □ Keep all
the accessories able to turn on the operator (transmitters,
proximity readers, key-switches, etc) out of the reach of the
children. □ Transit through the access only with stationary
operator. □ Do not allow children and/or people to stand in the
proximity of a working operator. □ To ensure safety in the
whole movement area of a gate it is advisable to install
photocells, sensitive edges, magnetic loops and detectors. □
Use yellow-black strips or proper signals to identify dangerous
spots. □ Before cleaning and maintenance operations,
disconnect the appliance from the mains by switching o the
master switch. □ If removing the actuator, do not cut the
electric wires, but disconnect them from the terminal box by
loosening the screws inside the junction box.
INSTALLATION
All installation operations must be performed by a qualied
technician, in observance of the Machinery Directive
2006/42/CE and safety regulations EN 12453 - EN 12445. □
Verify the presence of a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker
0,03 A - 230 V - 50 Hz upstream the installation. □ Use
appropriate objects to test the correct functionality of the
safety accessories, such as photocells, sensitive edges, etc. □
Carry out a risk analysis by means of appropriate instruments
measuring the crushing and impact force of the main opening
and closing edge in compliance with EN 12445. □ Identify the
appropriate solution necessary to eliminate and reduce such
□ In case where the gate to automate is equipped with a

pedestrian entrance, it is appropriate to prepare the system in
such a way to prohibit the operation of the engine when the
pedestrian entrance is used. □ Apply safety nameplates with CE
marking on the gate warning about the presence of an
automated installation. □ The installer must inform and instruct
the end user about the proper use of the system by releasing
him a technical dossier, including: layout and components of
the installation, risk analysis, verication of safety accessories,
verication of impact forces and reporting of residual risks.

INFORMATION FOR END-USERS
The end-user is required to read carefully and to receive
information concerning only the operation of the installation
so that he becomes himself responsible for the correct use of it.
□ The end-user shall establish a written maintenance contract
with the installer/maintenance technician (on -call). □ Any
maintenance operation must be done by qualied technicians.
□ Keep these instructions carefully.
WARNINGS FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE
INSTALLATION
For optimum performance of system over time according to
safety regulations, it is necessary to perform proper
maintenance and monitoring of the entire installation: the
automation, the electronic equipment and the cables
connected to these. □ The entire installation must be carried
out by qualied technical personnel, lling in the Maintenance
Manual indicated in the Safety Regulation Book (to be
requested or downloaded from the site
www.fadini.net/supporto/downloads).
□ Operator: maintenance inspection at least every 6 months,
while for the electronic equipment and safety systems an
inspection at least once every month is required. □ The
manufacturer, Meccanica Fadini snc, is not responsible for
non-observance of good installation practice and incorrect
maintenance of the installation.
DISPOSAL OF MATERIALS
Dispose properly of the packaging materials such as
cardboard, nylon, polystyrene etc. through specializing
companies (after verication of the regulations in force at the
place of installation in the eld of waste disposal). Disposal of
electrical and electronic materials: to remove and dispose
through specializing companies, as per Directive 2012/19/UE.
Disposal of substances hazardous for the environment is
prohibited.
CE DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY of the manufacturer:
Meccanica Fadini snc (Via Mantova, 177/A - 37053 Cerea - VR - Italy) declares under own responsibility that: Fibo 300 Fibo 400 comply with the 2006/42/CE Machinery Directive, and also that they are sold to be installed in an “automatic
system”, along with original accessories and components as indicated by the manufacturing company. An automatic gate
operator is, by law, a “machinery” and therefore the installer must t the equipment with all of the applicable safety norms.
The installer is also required to issue the installer’s Declaration of Conformity. The manufacturer is not liable for possible
incorrect use of the product. The product complies with the following specic norms: analysis of the risks and subsequent
action to cure them as per EN 12445 and EN 12453, Low Voltage Directive 2014/35/UE, Electromagnetic Compatibility
2014/30/UE. In order to certify the product, the manufacturer declares under own responsibility the compliance with the
EN 13241-1 PRODUCT NORMS.

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.

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.
