The transmission of the command is confirmed by the LED [A]; an eyelet [B] allows them to be hung on a keyring.

INSTALLATION

STEP 3

The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel in compliance with the directions provided in chapter 1 “WARNINGS”.

3.1 – PRELIMINARY CHECKS

GD0 must not be used to power a door that is not efficient and safe. It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the door.

WARNING: incorrect installation could cause serious damage.

Before proceeding with the installation you must:

• Make sure that the door movement does not hinder roads or public footpaths.

• After the motor has been installed, remove unnecessary cables or chains and turn off any unneeded equipment

• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the door fall within the specified operating limits (Chapter 3.1.1). If they do not, GD0 cannot be used.

• Make sure that the structure of the door is suitable for automation and in compliance with regulations in force.

• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or closing travel of the door.

• Make sure that the mechanical structure of the door is sturdy enough and that there is no risk of derailing out of the guide.

• Make sure that the door is well balanced: it must not move by itself when it is placed in any position.

• Make sure that the installation area is compatible with the size of the gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it.

• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices are protected from impacts and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently sturdy.

• Make sure that the mounting surfaces of the photocells are flat and that they enable the proper alignment between TX and RX.

• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances specified in fig. 8 are observed.

• Pay attention in particular to the methods for securing the head of the guide and the brackets to the ceiling. The head of the guide will have to bear all the strain of opening and closing the door; the ceiling-mounted brackets will have to bear all the weight of GD0. In both cases, the wear and deformations that may occur in time must be taken into consideration.

• The gearmotor should be mounted so that it coincides with the centre of the door, or is slightly off-centre, e.g. in order to mount the OSCILLATING ARM next to the handle (Figure 9).

2970 mm D 410 mm

B 0÷400 mm

A 40÷400 mm

260 mm260 mm

• Make sure that, in the position corresponding to the door, or slightly to the side, (see positions “A” and “B”) the conditions are suitable for mounting the head of the guide; in particular, the material should be sufficiently sturdy and compact.

Make sure that GD0 can be mounted on the ceiling along position “C” using the mounting brackets.

If the door to be automated is an overhead type with springs or counterweights, it will be necessary to install an OSCILLATING ARM, which must be mounted next to the handle (Figure 9).

• Make sure that distance [E] in Figure 10, i.e. the minimum distance between the upper side of the guide and the maximum point reached by the upper edge of the door, is no shorter than 65 mm and no longer than 300 mm, otherwise GD0 cannot be installed.

If the door closes a room that has no other means of access, we recommend installation of the EXTERNAL RELEASE KIT, otherwise a simple power failure will prevent access to the room (figure 11 and 11a).

Note: the oscillating arm and external release kit are supplied with the related assembly instructions.

E 65÷300 mm

3.1.1 – Operating limits

Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data needed to determine whether all the GD0 components are suitable for the intended application.

In general GD0 is suitable for the automation of sectional and overhead doors for residential applications having the following maximum dimensions:

Sectional doors: 240 cm max. height - 370cm (8.8m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

Overhead garage doors non-protruding: 220 cm max. height - 350 cm (7.7m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

Overhead garage doors protruding: 280 cm max. height - 350 cm (9.8m2) max. width - maximum torque 55 kg.

The shape of the door and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of strong wind) may reduce this maximum limit. In this case it is necessary to measure the torque needed to move the door under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the GD0 gearmotor.

3.1.2 – Tools and Materials

Make sure you have all the tools and materials needed to install the system; make sure that they are in good condition and serviceable according to current safety standards. See examples in figure 12.

3.1.3 – List of cables

The cables required for the installation of GD0 may vary depending on the type and quantity of devices to be installed; figure 13 shows the cables needed for a typical installation; no cable is supplied with GD0.

3.2 – PREPARING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

With the exception of the plug and the power cable, the rest of the system uses extra-low voltage (approx. 24V); the wiring can therefore be done by personnel that is not properly qualified, provided that all the instructions in this manual are carefully observed. After selecting the position of the various devices (refer to figure 13) you can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the devices to the control unit. The shock-resistant conduits are designed to protect the electrical cables and prevent accidental breakage. Install any fixed control close to the door but away from moving parts and at a height of 1.5m.

3.2.1 – Connection to the Electrical Mains

Although the connection of GD0 to the electrical mains is beyond the scope of this manual, we wish to remind you that:

• The power supply line must be laid and connected by a qualified professional electrician.

• Have a suitably protected 16A “schuko” outlet installed, where you can plug in GD0.

• Make sure that the power supply cable does not hang over moving parts or hazardous areas.

• The electric line must be grounded and protected against short circuits; a bipolar disconnection device must also be present with contact separation of at least 3mm, which allows the power supply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of the GD0.
