FITTING INSTRUCTIONS

Important: Keep to the instructions outlined in the pages and diagrams that follow to achieve a perfect installation.

NUPI 66 is an oil-hydraulic actuator locking in the closed gate position to operate gates that are not wider than 2.0 m. Fìxing to the gate
and gate post is by specially designed brackets. Peculiar with this operator is the absence of the high/low pressure valves, power is set
and controlled by the electronic control box ELPRO 7 RP (See the description as from page 12, Elpro 7 RP wiring diagram).

FITTING NUPI 66

PIC. 1

This explains how to remove the operator cover and fix the
actuator. The first operation is to unlock the operator: push the

lock flap to one side, insert the key and turn it 90° clockwise. The
locking barrel can be tilted open and the operator is now released

(pic. 2). Unscrew the two screws that fix the operator cover and
remove it. Unscrew the screw that fixes the rear end cover and
remove it. The actuator is so ready for fixing operations.

• Special fitting

There can be cases where special fitting requirements are needed
to meet (gate hinges on the post edge line, brickwork to be
indented, special opening,...). NUPI 66 is supplied complete with
an adjustable rear fixing pIate: a pattern of fixing holes makes
the rear fixing extremely versatile to suit any gate. Refer to the
diagram on the right for fixing geometry (pic. 3).

ELECTRIC LOCK
An electric lock is recommended in installations where
each gate leaf exceeds 1.8 meters and is subjected to high
winds or are close boarded gates.

IMPORTANT: It is important to temporarily fix the operator rear casting using the center hole in the fixing plate and, once the installation
is completed, move the rear fixing to the inner hole.
IMPORTANT: it is necessary to firmly fix the gate stops to the ground in the open and closed gate positions (See pic. 5 on page 11 and
pic. 7 on page 12, parts 5 and 15) before installing the operator.

- A reinforcement plate (pic. 6) is recommended for the rear fixing, either to be embedded in the gate post, anchoring plates to be welded
to improve holding, or bolted to it so that the operator rear fixing can be welded to it in full respect of the geometry indicated below. See
distances A and B in pic.5 (distances are strictly referred to the center lines of the gate hinge and operator rear fixing)

- By means of a spirit level, make sure that the fixing plates are perfectly levelled, respect distance D for the front fixing, the gate in closed
position, ie. operator shaft driven 260 mm out.

- At this stage NUPI 66 is fixed to the gate leaf. Note that it is locking when the release lid is closed; with the lid in the open
position the locking device is overridden and the gate can be pushed open by hand (pic.2 on page 10). The electrical connections
of the power supply cable to the terminal board are the next step. Remove the cable fastener. Connect
central terminal and the two live wires to the lateral terminals (pic. 9 on page 12) in parallel with the capacitor. Put back the
cable fastener.
On connecting the electronic control panel Elpro 7 RP, it is advised to set the

torque control switch to position 3

(pic. 10 on page 13 and pic. 11 on page 14).
