PRELIMINARY CHECKS

Before installing this product, verify and check the following steps:

- Check that the gate or door are suitable for automation

- The weight and size of the gate or door must be within the maxi-

- Check the presence and strength of the security mechanical stops
of the gate or door

- Check that the mounting area of
ing

- Conditions of high acidity or salinity or proximity to heat sources
could cause malfunction of the product

- Extreme weather conditions (for example the presence of snow,
ice, high temperature range, high temperatures) may increase the
friction and therefore the force required for the handling and initial

starting point may be higher than under normal conditions.

- Check that the manual operation of gate or door is smooth and
friction-free and there is no risk of derailment of the same

- Check that the gate or door are in equilibrium and stationary if left
in any position

- Check that the power line to supply the product is equipped with
proper grounding safety and protected by a magnetothermal and
differential security device

-

- Provide the power system with a disconnecting device with a gap
of contacts enabling full disconnection under the conditions dictated
by the overvoltage category III.

- Ensure that all materials used for the installation comply with cur­rent regulations

1. Measure the distance “A” from the center point of the hinge to the rear bracket hole.

2. Use the table to determine the optimum measurement for “B” and attach the rear bracket to the post.

3. Mount the front bracket so that the hole of the front bracket is 29 1/2” from the hole on the rear bracket “C”.

CUTTING & INSTALLING THE REAR BRACKET

The fixing position
of the rear bracket
is determined
according to the
graphic and mea­surement table
listed in Fig 4.

IMPORTANT:

Optimal installations occur when the values of “A” and “B” are as close to each other as possible.*

If necessary, cut the rear bracket then weld the bracket to the post as shown in Fig 5.

ATTACHING THE FRONT BRACKET

Fig. 5

The front bracket must be fixed to the door accord­ing to the dimension “C” in Fig 4. The front bracket
must be fixed at the same height as the rear bracket
as shown in Fig 6.

it is able to slide. Open the gate manually to the
desired opening position. Bring the mechanical limit
switch up to the pin of the slide bracket and secure it
with the screw as shown in Fig. 9. If you need to
adjust the mechanical limit switch for the closing
position repeat the same procedure, this time manu­ally bringing the gate to the desired point of closure.

5.1 Testing

All system components must be tested following the procedures
outlined in the respective instruction manuals.

Check that they meet the guidelines in Safety warnings. Check that
the gate or door can move freely once the automation is unlocked,
and that they are in equilibrium and stationary if left in any
position.

5.2 Commissioning

Following the successful testing of all (and not just some) devices in
the system you can proceed with the commissioning.

Check the correct operation of all connected devices (photocells,
sensitive edges, emergency buttons, etc.), testing the opening,
closing and stopping of the gate or door via the connected control
devices (transmitters, buttons, switches).

Carry out measurements of the impact force, as prescribed by
standard EN12445 adjusting the functions of speed, motor force
and deceleration of the unit if the measurements do not give the

Attach a plaque indicating the steps required to manually unlock
the system.

Implement and deliver to the end user the declaration of conform­ity, the instructions and warnings for use for the end user and the

SAFETY WARNINGS

WARNING - for the safety of people, it is important to
adhere to these instructions and save them for future
use.

Read the instructions carefully before starting installation.

The design and manufacture of the devices making
up the product and the information contained in this
manual comply with safety regulations. However,
wrong installation and programming may cause seri-

ous physical injury to those who perform the work
and those who will use the device. For this reason,
during installation, it is important to carefully follow
all instructions in this manual.

Do not proceed with the installation if you have doubts of any kind

By the European legislation, the creation of a door or
gate must comply with the rules laid down in Direc-

tive 2006/42/EC (Machinery Directive) and in particu­lar, EN 12445; EN 12453; EN 12635 and EN 13241-1

completed by a professional installer.

Considering the hazards that may occur during in-

stallation and use of the product you need to install
the automation observing the following precautions:

- Do not make changes to any part of the automation, other than

with IP55 degree of protection or higher;

- The electric system upstream of the automation shall comply with
current regulations and must be made in a workmanlike manner;

- It is recommended to use an emergency button to be installed near
the automation (connected to the STOP input of the control card) so
that you can immediately stop the gate or door in case of danger;
