2.3.3 CL2 Control Unit

2.3.4 PH1 Photocells

The CL2 unit actuates the gearmotors and provides for the control and supply of the different components; it features an electronic board with incorporated radio receiver; a housing [B] for the PR1 buffer battery (optional), which is necessary for operation in case of power failure.

The CL2 control unit can actuate the gearmotors with two speeds: "slow" and "fast".

The three P1, P2 and P3 buttons [C] and the corresponding LED's are used to program the control unit.

To facilitate the electrical connections there are separate terminals for each device [A], which are removable and colour-coded based on the function performed. Next to each input terminal there is a LED that signals its status.

The connection to the power supply is very easy: just insert the plug in a power outlet.

Instructions WG2 7

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

3 Installation

3.1 Preliminary checks

WG2 must not be used to power a gate that is not efficient and safe. It cannot solve defects resulting from incorrect installation or poor maintenance of the gate.

Before proceeding with the installation you must:

• Make sure that the weight and dimensions of the gate fall within the specified operating limits. If they do not, WG2 cannot be used.

• Make sure that the structure of the gate 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 gate leaves.

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

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

• Check the size limits referring to Figure 10.

• Make sure there is enough space even when the gate is open.

• Using the leaf opening angle as a guideline, check that the values in Table 6 can be met.

Max 150mm

• "C" depends on how the rear bracket is mounted (see Figure 17) and may vary from 53 mm to 176 mm. It is normally about 150mm.

• "D" is easy to measure on the gate.

• "A" is the sum of "C" and "D".

• The value of "B" can be calculated from the value of "A" and the opening angle of the leaves. For example: if "A" is 150mm and the opening angle of the leaves is 100°, the value of "B" is about 150mm.

Make sure that "B" is equal or similar to "A". This ensures the leaf moves smoothly, thereby reducing the strain on the gearmotor.

Figure 12

Table 6

8 Instructions WG2

3.1.1 Operating Limits

Chapter 6 "Technical Characteristics" provides the fundamental data needed to determine whether all the WG2 components are suitable for the intended application.

In general, WG2 is suitable for the automation of gates featuring leaves up to 2 m wide, weighing up to 250 kg, with opening angle of up to 130° for residential applications.

The shape of the gate and the climatic conditions (e.g. presence of strong wind) may reduce these maximum limits. In this case it is necessary to measure the torque needed to move the leaves under the worst conditions, and to compare it to the data provided in the technical characteristics chart for the WG1 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 13.

3.1.3 List of Cables

The cables required for the installation of WG2 may vary depending on the type and quantity of devices to be installed; figure 14 shows the cables needed for a typical installation; no cable is supplied with WG2.

WARNING: the cables used must be suitable for the type of installation; for example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor applications, while H07RN-F is suitable for outdoor applications.

Note 1 A power supply cable longer than 30 m may be used provided it has a larger gauge, e.g. 3x2.5mm

, and that a safety grounding system

is provided near the automation unit. Note 2 For the ESCbus, STOP and OPEN cables, there are no special contraindications to the use of a single cable that groups together multiple connections; for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS1 selector switch using a single 4x0,5mm

cable.

Instructions WG2 9

1 Choose the mounting position in accordance with the specifications in paragraph 3.1 "Preliminary Checks".

2 Check that the mounting surface is perfectly smooth, vertical and sufficiently compact. WG1 does not come with a mounting system, consequently one will have to be chosen according to the surface material.

3 Lay the conduit for the power cable.

4 To obtain the rear supports, assemble two brackets and the rear plate as shown in Figure 16.

5 To obtain different "C" values (see Figure 12) assemble the brackets and plate as shown in Figure 17.

6 To obtain the front support, assemble one bracket and the front plate as shown in Figure 18.

7 Loosen the two screws and remove the back cover of the gearmotors.

8 Move the leaves to the "gate closed" position.

9 Referring to the "B" distance calculated from Table 6, place the rear support in the correct position on the mounting surface, Check that there is a suitable surface at the values in Figure 22, i.e. where the front support is mounted.

10 Mark the drill points for the rear support using the support itself as a reference point. Drill holes in the mounting surface for 4 anchors [A] with a diameter of at least 8 mm (not included in supply). Fix the plate with suitable screws [C] and washers [B].

With the exception of the power line that supplies the control unit, 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 1) you

can start preparing the conduits for the electrical cables connecting the devices to the control unit.

The conduits are designed to protect the electrical cables and prevent accidental breakage, which may be caused by the passage of vehicles, for instance.

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System

Although the connection of WG2 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.

• Alternatively, have a suitably protected 16A "shuko" outlet installed, where you can plug in WG2.

• The power supply line must be protected from short circuits and ground leakage; a device must be provided to enable the disconnection of the power supply during the installation and maintenance of WG2 (the plug with outlet are suitable for this purpose).

10 Instructions WG2

11 Check that the plate is perfectly level, the slots on the bracket allow small differences in alignment to be corrected.

12 Referring to Figure 22, place the front support at a distance of 600 mm from the rear support and 34 mm lower.

13 Temporarily fix the front support to the leaf with a clamp.

14 Lift up the gearmotor and fit the fork into the hole in the front support.

15 Keep the gearmotor lifted and pull it to open the gate until the hole in the plate matches the hole in the gearmotor. Fix the gearmotor to the rear support [E] with the screw [D], nut [G] and washer [F].

16 Firmly tighten the nut and then loosen it by about half a turn in order to allow the gearmotor to rotate on the support.

17 Fix the gearmotor to the front support and anchor it with the screw [I] and washer [H]. Fully tighten the screw.

18 Release the gearmotors using the appropriate release keys (see the "Gearmotor Release" paragraph on page 34).

19 Test the mechanism by moving the gate by hand. Check that the fork slides perfectly on the worm screw of the gear motor and that there remains a margin of at least 5 mm from the opening and closing stops, making sure, however, that not too much of the worm screw remains unused.

20 If necessary, test the other assembly positions allowed by the front and rear plates. See Figure 17.

21 If necessary, adjust the stops by loosening them with Allen keys [N] and moving them to the required position. The opening stop [L] is used if there are no opening stops on the ground. Normally, the leaves stop against the closing stop during the closing manoeuvre; the closing stop [M] can be used to reduce the thrust of the gearmotor. After adjusting the stops, fully tighten the screws.

22 Secure the front support permanently using screws suited to the material of which the gate is constructed.

23 Fix the gearmotor once more using the appropriate release keys (see the "Gearmotor release" paragraph on page 34).

24 Thread the electrical cable through the conduit and bring it to the control unit.

N.B.: the cable leaving the gear motor must be curved so that it can follow the gearmotor when it rotates to open and close the leaf.

1 Select the position of the two elements that make up the photocell (TX and RX) observing the following directions:

• Position them at a height of 40-60 cm from the ground, on both sides of the area to be protected, on the street side of the installation and as close as possible to the edge of the gate, no farther than 15 cm.

• Point transmitter TX towards receiver RX, with a maximum tolerance of 5°.

• In the selected locations there must be a conduit for threading the cables.

2 Remove the front glass [A] by prising it out with a slotted tip screwdriver applied to the bottom.

3 Press the lens in order to separate the two shells.

4 Breach two of the four holes [B] at the bottom with a screwdriver.

5 Position the photocell at the point where the conduit arrives; the hole at the bottom [D] should match the point where the cables come out of the wall; mark the drilling points using the bottom as reference.

6 Drill the holes in the wall using a hammer drill with a 5 mm bit and insert the 5 mm screw anchors.

7 Secure the bottom with the screws [C].

8 Connect the electric cable to the appropriate TX and RX terminals. From an electrical viewpoint, TX and RX must be connected in parallel as shown in Figure 33. It is not necessary to observe any polarity. The terminals can be removed in order to facilitate the operations; make the connections and then reinsert them.

9 Secure the cover shell [E] using the two screws [F] and a Phillips screwdriver. Then insert the glass [G], pressing it gently to close it.

25 Loosen the cable clamp under the gearmotor, push the power cable through and then firmly close the cable clamp.

26 Make electrical connections as follows.

27 Close the gearmotor cover by tightening the two screws.
