type depends on the material and thickness
of the gate.
2.3 Description of devices
WS1C and WS1 are electromechanical gearmotor consisting of a helical
teeth reduction gear and a 24V direct current motor. It features a keyoperated mechanical release mechanism that allows you to move the
gate manually in the event of a power failure. The gearmotors can be
mounted at the side of the gate using the special mounting brackets. The
curved arm and the related mounting bracket enable the connection
between the gearmotor and the gate leaf.
WS1C is complete with a unit that controls the gearmotors and power
supply to the various components; it comprises an electronic card with
incorporated radio receiver.
WS1C is also fitted with a compartment for the PR1 buffer battery (optional) required for operation in the event of a power failure. The control unit
can activate the gearmotors at two speeds: “slow” or “fast”.
To facilitate the electrical connections there are separate terminals for
each device, 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.
WS1 does not have a control unit and must be connected to the relative
terminals of the WS1C control unit.

2.3.4 KS1 Key-operated Selector Switch
The KS1 key-operated two-position selector switch enables gate control
without using the radio transmitter. It is equipped with internal light for
locating in the dark.
There are two commands, which depend on the direction of rotation of
the key “OPEN” and “STOP”, then the key, which is spring loaded,
returns to the centre position.

2.3.5 FL1 Flashing Light with Incorporated Aerial
The flashing light is controlled by the control unit and signals danger when
the gate is moving. Inside the flashing light there is also the aerial for the
radio receiver.
Figure 7
2.3.6 TX4 Radio Transmitters
The radio transmitters are used for the remote control of the gate opening and closing manoeuvres. They feature four buttons that can all be
used for the 4 types of command to a single automation unit, or to control up to 4 different automation units.
The transmission of the command is confirmed by the LED [A]; an eyelet
[B] allows them to be hung on a keyring.

WS2 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 (see paragraph 3.1.1). If they do
not, WS2 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.
• Check sturdiness of the mechanical stops on closing and opening (if fitted), and that there is no risk of the deformation even
when the leaf hits the mechanical stop violently.
• 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 area where the gearmotor is fixed is not
subject to flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised
from the ground.
• Make sure that the location where the gearmotor is installed is
compatible with the overall dimensions of the gearmotor and
that it allows the release manoeuvre to be carried out easily and
safely.
• 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
•Check the size limits referring to figure 9.
• Check that there is enough space for the arm to rotate
• Using the leaf opening angle as a guideline, check that the
values in Table 5 can be met.
Table 5
1. “B” is a value that can be easily measured on the gate.
2. Use the value of “B” and the leaf opening angle in the table to calcu-
late the value of “A”. E. g.: if “B” equals 100 mm and you require an
opening angle of 100°, “A” should be about 180 mm.
Instructions WS2 7
The installation must be carried out by qualified and skilled personnel in compliance with the directions provided in this chapter
1 “WARNINGS”.

3.1.2 Tools and Materials
Figure 12
Chapter 6 “Technical Characteristics” provides the fundamental data
needed to determine whether all the WS2 components are suitable for
the intended application.
In general, WS2 is suitable for the automation of gates featuring leaves
up to 1.8 m wide, weighing up to 200 kg, with opening angle of up to
110° 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 WS1 and WS1C gearmotors.
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.
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 ECSbus 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.

3.2 Preparing the Electrical System
3.2.1 Connection to the Electrical Mains
Although the connection of WS1C to the mains power line is not dealt
with in this manual, note 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 WS1C.
• 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 WS2 (the plug with outlet are suitable for this
purpose).
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.
3.3 Installation of the Various Devices
3.3.1 WS1 and WS1C gearmotor mounting
1 Choose the mounting position in accordance with the specifications
in paragraph 3.1 “Preliminary Checks”.
2Check that the mounting surface is perfectly smooth, vertical and suf-
ficiently compact. WS2 does not come with a mounting system, consequently one will have to be chosen according to the surface material.
3 As other devices are also connected to the WS1C gearmotor, take
care that one or more lines of suitable dimensions are laid to ensure
correct routing of all cables.
4Using the value of “B” taken from Table 5, place the mounting plate of
the gearmotor on the mounting surface in the required position.
Check that there is a suitable surface at the values in Figure 11, i.e.
where the bracket of the arm is mounted.
5Mark the drilling points using the plate as a template and then drill the
holes in the surface so that 4 anchors can be installed. The anchors
(not supplied) should be at least 8 mm. Secure the plate with screws
[A] and washers [B].
6 Check that the plate is perfectly level.
Otherwise the arm outside the axis will cause a gate malfunction.
7 Set up the gearmotor by fitting the arm [C] with the washer [D], then
fasten the screw tightly [E]. Take care to place the arm towards the
front section.
