2.3.3 CL20 Control Unit
2.3.4 PH1 Photocells
The CL20 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 CL20 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.

WG20 Instructions 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
WG20 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, WG20 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.
Figure 10
Figure 11
• "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.

Maximum leaf length (m)
8 WG20 Instructions
3.1.1 Operating Limits
Chapter 6 "Technical Characteristics" provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the WG20 components are suitable for
the intended application.
In general, WG20 is suitable for the automation of gates featuring leaves
up to 4,5m wide, weighing up to 400 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 WG20 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 WG20 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 WG20.

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
2
, 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
2
cable.

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. WG10 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 two brackets and the front plate
as shown in Figure 18.
7 Remove the back cover of the gearmotors by sliding it in the direction
of the arrows.
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].
WG20 Instructions 9
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 WG20 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 WG20.
• 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 3 mm, which allows the power supply to be disconnected during the installation and maintenance of
the WG20.

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 820
mm from the rear support and 38 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. 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.
