KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION

––– STEP 2 –––

2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The series of devices and accessories stated in this manual (some of which are optional and not present in the kit), make up the automation system named “WT”, designed for a gate or door with one or two swing leafs. Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental con-

ditions other than as stated in this manual is to be considered improper and is strictly prohibited!

The main part of the automation comprises one or two electromechanical gearmotors (depending on the number of leafs to be automated), each equipped with a DC motor and epicyclical gear reducer. The geamotors have an articulated arm, the length of which can be shortened during installation when there is a fixed obstacle over the gearmotor (wall, pole or other) preventing complete rotation of the arm and therefore maximum leaf opening. The WT1SC is equipped with a control unit that powers and manages operation of all connected devices. The control unit implements “ECSBus” technology , which enables connection and communication between multiple devices, using a single bus cable with 2 internal wires. The control unit incorporates a radio receiver for reception of the commands sent by the user by means of the GTX4 transmitter. The system can memorise up to 256 transmitters (if memorised in “Mode I”) and up to 6 pairs of PH100 photocells. The automation can be powered by the mains (230 V) or alternatively by the PF photovoltaic system. If powered by the mains, a backup battery (mod. PR2, optional accessory) can be installed in the control unit to enable a number of emergency manoeuvres following a power failure (black-out). During the power failure, or at any other time, the gate leafs can be moved manually if required, by first releasing the gearmotor using the relative key.

CHECKS AND PROCEDURES PRIOR

TO INSTALLATION

3.1 - CHECKING SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMATED AND RELATIVE ENVIRONMENT

• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current

national standards and that it is suitable for automation. For this check, refer to the information specified on the gate dataplate. Important - This “WT” system cannot be used to automate a gate that is not already efficient and safe; furthermore it cannot solve defects caused by incorrect gate installation or poor maintenance.

• Ensure that the gate leafs move regularly and smoothly, by performing

the following test: manually move the leafs in both directions and ensure that movement is free of friction throughout all points of travel (there must be no points requiring a different level of force).

• Ensure that the gate leafs are perfectly balanced, by performing the fol-

lowing test: manually move the leafs to any position; take away the hands and ensure that the leafs remain stationary.

• If there is a fixed obstacle in the zone of the column (where the gearmo-

tor is to be installed) it is important to check whether this will enable complete arm rotation and therefore the maximum leaf opening angle. For this check, refer to point 5 of paragraph 3.2.

• In the vicinity of the post where the gearmotor is to be installed, ensure

that there is sufficient space to perform the manual gearmotor release procedure.

• Ensure that the surfaces chosen for device installation are solid and can

guarantee a stable fixture.

• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and

protected against the risk of accidental impact.

• Ensure that the area is fitted with floor-mounted stops (not supplied), to limit opening and closing.

3.2 - CHECKING THE PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS

1 - Suitability of the product for gate automation. For this check,

refer to Graph 1 as follows: a) - measure the width of the gate leaf and determine its weight. b) - note these two values in Graph 1 and check the point at which

the two values intersect:

• if the point is located within area “A” = the gate can be automat- ed using standard length arms (supplied as standard) or short arms (the length of the arm is established during the phase prior to installation - paragraph 3.4);

• if the point is located within area “B” = the gate can be automat- ed using standard length arms (supplied as standard);

• if the point is located within area “C” = this product cannot be used to automate the gate.

2 - Maximum leaf height. The “WT” system can automate leafs with a

height of up to 200 cm.

3 - Maximum leaf width. The “WT” system can automate leafs with a

width of up to 160 cm (see Graph 1).

4 - Maximum leaf weight. The maximum weight of the leaf depends

on its length. To calculate the maximum admissible weight with the “WT” system, proceed as follows: a) - measure the width of the gate leaf and note the value in Graph 1. Starting from this value, trace a vertical line until it intersects with the two traced lines. b) - trace a horizontal line from each point of intersection, until the two maximum admissible weights are shown (depending on the length of the arm used to install the gearmotor: with standard length arms, the weight may vary from 110 to 180 Kg; with short arms, the weight may vary from 100 to 150 Kg).

5 - Gearmotor overall dimensions

. On the basis of the overall dimensions stated in fig. 2, check that there is sufficient space on the leaf and post to enable gearmotor installation. In particular , ensure the following:

• the width of the post must be greater than 80 mm (fig. 2). Caution! – any lower widths would prevent installation of the gearmotor.

• the distance between the edge of the post (the side closest to the hinge pin) and any fixed obstacle present behind the post, must be greater than 120 mm (fig. 2). Caution! – any lower widths would prevent installation of the gearmotor.

6 - Gearmotor positioning. Never install the gearmotor upside down

(see fig. 3).

7 - Maximum leaf opening angle. If the gearmotor is installed with a

standard length arm (supplied as standard) a leaf opening angle of 110° is possible. Otherwise, if the short arm is used, the leaf opening angle is reduced to 90°. The length of the arm is established during the phase prior to installation - see paragraph 3.4.

TABLE 1 - Severity index (see paragraph 3.2-9)

8 - Mechanical stops. The gearmotors in the “WT” system do not

implement mechanical systems to limit leaf travel on closing or opening. Therefore, to enable installation of the “WT” system, some floormounted stops on opening and closing must be fitted (these stops

are not supplied in the kit and are not part of the Mhouse product range).

9 - Product durability. The lifetime is the average economic duration

of the product. The value of lifetime is strongly influenced by the intensity of the manoeuvres, i.e. the sum of all factors that contribute to product wear; these values are shown in Table 1 and we therefore recommend making an estimate of the automation lifetime after commissioning, using the following calculation:

01. In Tab le 1, locate the values “Leaf length” and “Leaf weight” of your gate and note the corresponding “Severity index”, taking care to check the length of the arm on which the gearmotor is installed. In the specific context, if there are other factors that influence stress of the manoeuvre, locate the relative values in Table 1 and add them to the sum obtained beforehand.

Example: • “Leaf length” = 1,5 m; “leaf weight” = 92 Kg; “arm length” = standard; therefore, severity index = 55%. Presence of factors influencing stress on the manoeuvres: • “ambient temperature...” = No; “solid leaf” = Yes; “arm length” = standard; therefore, severity index = 15%; “Installation in windy zone” = Yes; “arm length” = standard; therefore, severity index = 15%. • TOTAL INDEX: 55% + 15% + 15% = 85%.

02. In Graph 2, note the total value of severity obtained (in the exam- ple = 85%) and trace a vertical line from this point, until it intersects the curve in the graph. Then, from the point of intersection, trace a horizontal line through to the vertical axis of the graph. The value obtained (number of manoeuvre cycles) represents the estimated durability of the product.

Example: total severity index = 85%. In Graph 1, this corresponds to approximately 51,000 manoeuvre cycles (= product durability).

The lifetime values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the maintenance schedule is strictly observed (see paragraph 10.1). The estimation of lifetime is made on the basis of design calculations and the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estimation, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective lifetime of the product.

3.3 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS FOR INSTALLATION

3.3.1 - Ensure all equipment and materials for work are available

Before starting work, ensure that you have all equipment and materials required to complete the work. Ensure that all items are in good condition and comply with local safety standards.

3.3.2 - Establish the position of devices in the system

To establish the installation position of each device envisaged in the system, refer to fig. 4. This illustrates a system set up using the components supplied in the kit as well as other optional devices and accessories. The figure shows an ideal layout of the devices. The devices used are:

a - Electromechanical gearmotor with control unit WT1SC b- Electromechanical gearmotor without control unit WT1SK c - Pair of photocells PH100 (wall-mounted) d- Flashing light FL100 e - Key-operated selector switch KS100 (wall-mounted) f - Pair of posts for PT50 photocells PT50 (h = 50 cm) / PT100 (h = 100

cm)

g- Opening travel limit stops (these are not part of the Mhouse product

range; they may also constitute “natural” obstacles, such as a wall, edge of a flower bed etc.)

h - Closing travel limit stop (this is not part of the Mhouse product range) When selecting the position of each device, take special care to observe

the following:

• Gearmotors – the gearmotor with control unit must be positioned on the leaf closest to the zone where the power supply is located.

• PH100 photocells – the two photocells (TX and RX) must be positioned: a) at a height of 40-60 cm from the ground; b) to the sides of the zone to be protected; c) outside the gate, i.e. on the side of the public road; d) trim with the gate (max. 15 cm from the latter); e) the TX photocell (transmitting) must be directed at the RX photocell (receiving), with a maximum tolerance of 5°.

• FL100 flashing light – this must be positioned in the vicinity of the gate; it must also be easily visible from any point of access to the gate. Note – the device can be fixed to a horizontal or vertical surface.

• KS100 key-operated selector switch – this must be positioned to the side of the gate and must be installed at a height of approx. 80 cm, so that it can also be used by persons of different heights.

• Other fixed type control devices – these must be positioned in view of the automation, far from all moving parts at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the ground; they must also not be accessible by unauthorised persons.

3.3.3 - Setting the route of the connection cables

To establish the route of each connection cable and thus dig the raceways for the cable ducting, the following constraints must be taken into account:

a) points envisaged for device installation (read paragraph 3.3.2); b) the envisaged connection between all devices and terminals

involved (see fig. 26);

c) “ECSBus” technology. This technology enables the connection and

communication between several devices (including the control unit by means of the ECSBus terminal) with a single cable containing 2 electrical wires (carrying the electric power and data communication signals). This cable can only be used to connect Mhouse devices compatible with the ECSBus protocol: for example the photocells, safety devices, control buttons, indicator lights etc. (for information on compatible devices, refer to the Mhouse catalogue or visit the website www.mhouse.biz). “ECSBus” technology offers the possibility of using different layouts for device connections. Some examples are shown in fig. 5.

Note 1 - External cable diameter: Maximum 11 mm. Note 2 - If the power cable is longer than 30 m, a cable with a larger section is required (e.g. 3x2.5mm²) and safety earthing is necessary in the

vicinity of the automation. Note 3 - For these connections (D, E, F) a single cable with multiple internal wires may be used. This enables grouping of multiple connections:

for example, the STOP and OPEN inputs can be connected to the KS100 selector switch with a cable of 4 x 0.5 mm². Note 4 - For information on “ECSBus” technology, refer to paragraph 3.3.3

WARNING! – The cables used must be suited to the installation environment: for example, for indoor environments cable types H03VVF are recommended, and for outdoor environments, cable types H07RN-F.

6 – English

After considering points a, b, c, observe fig. 6 and on a piece of paper draw a similar layout, adapting it to the specific needs of your systemThis layout will serve as a guideline to dig the raceways for the cable ducting and to make a complete list of the cables required.

3.3.4 - Selecting and sizing all connection cables

To select the type of cables and cut these to an adequate length, consult Ta bl e 2; then, with the aid of the previously drawn layout (ref. paragraph

3.3.3), make on-site measurements to establish the length of each cable.

Caution! - No cable must exceed the specific maximum length stated in Table 2. Power cable

– The power cable on the WT1SC gearmotor serves to

make provisional connections

to the mains (for example, to perform programming and the operation tests). Then, to test and start-up the automation, it must be connected permanently to the mains, using the specific cable stated in Table 2. This cable must be used on the system.

3.3.5 - Installation site preparation work

Prepare the area for subsequent installation of the devices, completing all preliminary work, such as:

- digging of raceways for protection ducting of electric cables (external

ducting may be used as an alternative);

- laying of ducting and fixture in raceways;

- routing of cables through ducting. Caution! - In this phase, do not

make any electrical connections.

-Etc.

Warning:

•The hoses and ducting serve to protect electrical cables and prevent

accidental damage in the event of impact.

•Position the ends of the ducting at the points envisaged for fixture of the

various components.

•When laying pipelines, take into account the risk of possible deposits of

water in the branch wells, where condensate may form in the pipelines and the control unit with possible damage to the electronic circuits.

3.4 - VERY IMPORTANT!

DETERMINING THE INSTALLATION PROCEDURE TO FOLLOW (with standard arm or short arm)

IMPORTANT PREMISE – The gearmotor arm can be shortened with respect to the standard length as supplied. A shorter length may be required where there is a fixed obstacle (wall, post, etc.) is located behind the post (where the gearmotor is to be installed), preventing complete movement of the arm. Therefore, before starting installation

the following procedure

should be performed to then decide whether to use procedure

4.1 and 4.2 (the latter requires shortening of the arm). Warning – Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to

those working on or using the system.

01. Assemble the components making up the gearmotor arm

a) - Refer to fig. 7, but without inserting the stop benzing (fig. 8); this will

be inserted later. Caution! - position the elbow fitting of the arm so that is curved towards the leaf of the gate (fig. 9) when the gearmotor is installed.

02. Establishing the height from the ground of the gearmotor when

installed on the post.

a) - Place the gearmotor on the post and position it so that the bracket

(fixing the arm to the leaf) is located on the upper section of the leaf, in a sturdy zone, for example the load-bearing frame (fig. 10). If another similarly strong area of the leaf is selected to fix the bracket of the arm, it is important to ensure that the distance from the ground of the lower section of the gearmotor is at least 40 cm. Warning – Never install the gearmotor upside down (see fig. 3).

b) - Keeping the gearmotor in this position, check that it is perfectly level,

and, using a pencil, trace a line on the post passing along the upper edge of the bracket for fixing the gearmotor to the post. Then remove the gearmotor.

03. Setting the required maximum leaf opening angle. a) - Move the gate leaf to the required maximum opening position (with-

out exceeding 110°) and block with a stop on the ground, to secure it provisionally in place. Caution!– T o ensure corr ect system oper-

ation, mechanical stops must be mounted on the floor or wall at the maximum leaf opening and closing points. These stops are

not supplied in the pack and are not part of the Mhouse product range.

04. Calculate value “

A” (fig. 11), i.e. the horizontal distance between

the leaf hinge pin

and the point on the post where the vertical axis of

minimum 40 cm

English

English – 7

GRAPH 3 (see paragraph 3.4)

EXAMPLE: if a maximum opening

angle of 105° is required, and value B on the gate post is measured at 145 mm, value A can be selected from one of the values from 125 to 150 mm or from 185 to 210 mm. In both cases, the minimum value is recommended.

(compatible A values)

the gearmotor is to be positioned.

a) - On Graph 3 locate the line marked with the same maximum opening

angle as that measured.

b) - On the post, measure value B (fig. 11), i.e. the distance between the

fulcrum of leaf rotation (centre of the hinge pin) and the post surface where the gearmotor is to be fixed.

c) - On Graph 3 note the obtained value B on the horizontal axis and

from this point, trace a vertical line until it intersects the line with your maximum leaf opening angle (see example in graph).

d) - On Graph 3 trace a horizontal line passing through each point of

intersection created between the previously traced vertical line and the line with your maximum leaf opening angle. Then on the vertical axis, read all values of “A” including those between the traced horizontal lines (see example in graph) and where feasible select the minimum possible value. This will be the required value A.

e) - On the post, note the selected value “A” and trace a vertical line from

this point (fig. 11). The line must intersect the horizontal line already present; these two lines will serve as a reference for subsequent fixture of the gearmotor.

f) - Lastly, release the gearmotor with reference to the chapter “Manually

locking and releasing the gearmotor”, in the “Operation Manual”.

05. Determining the procedure to be followed to complete gearmo-

tor installation.

a) - CAUTION, VERY IMPORTANT! At this point if there is a wall,

pole or other fixed element behind the post, to determine whether this may obstruct complete rotation of the arm, measure distance E

(fig. 12), i.e. the space between the previously traced vertical line on the post at the closest point of the obstacle. Then,

- if

distance E is between 80 mm (minimum) and 299 mm (maximum), continue installation according to procedure 4.1B. (this envisages shortening of the arm);

- if distance E is equal to or greater than 300 mm, continue installation according to procedure 4.1A (this envisages the standard arm length as supplied).

INSTALLING THE GEARMOTORS

WT1SC / WT1SK

4.1A - INSTALLATION WITH STANDARD LENGTH

ARMS

CAUTION! - This procedure is an alternative to procedure 4.1B. To understand which procedure to follow, read the instructions stated in paragraph 3.4.

01. Fixing the gearmotor to the post (fig. 13).

a) - Place the gearmotor against the post (*) aligning its central vertical

axis with the vertical line previously traced on the post (paragraph

3.4). Then align the upper edge of the rear gearmotor bracket with the previously traced horizontal line on the post (paragraph 3.4). In this phase, ensure that the gearmotor is perfectly level; an offset gearmotor could cause malfunctions of the automation. (*) Warning! - If the post surface width is between 80 and 135 mm, before proceeding with installation, the rear gearmotor fixing bracket must be turned through 90°. Then follow the instructions in fig. 21.

b) - Mark the fixing points, drill the holes in the post and insert the plugs;

then secure the gearmotor using adequate screws and washers.

Note - The screws are not included in the kit as their type depends on the material and thickness of the post in which they are fixed.

c) - For increased stability of the gearmotor, adjust its rear feet so that

they are placed against the post. This adjustment can be made later, when the control unit is removed from its seat for the first time (paragraph 5.4).

02. Fixing the arm on the leaf (fig. 13).

a) - Move the gate leaf to the maximum leaf closing position against the

travel limit stop.

b) - Extend the arm and move it up towards the leaf, placing the fixing

bracket on the arm. Then, firmly press the curved arm against

the leaf (fig. 13-6a), until the two arms are completely extended; apply force at the joining point (elbow fitting). Caution! - the arms are completely extended only when the elbow blocks against its stop.

d) - Ensure that the gearmotor arm is level (fig. 13-6b) and use a pencil to

mark the centre

of the slots on the bracket (fig. 13-7), to enable sub-

sequent fine adjustments of leaf closure.

e) - Keeping the bracket in contact with the leaf (for example using a

clamp), attempt a complete leaf opening and closing manoeuvre, reaching both mechanical stops. Caution! - During this test, if a

fixed obstacle behind the gearmotor prevents complete rotation of the arm, suspend installation and perform procedure 4.2.

f) - Drill the leaf at the marked points; remove the bracket from the arm

and fix it to the gate leaf with adequate screws. Note - The screws

are not included in the kit as their type depends on the material and thickness of the post in which they are fixed.

g) - Fix the arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and stop benzing. Impor-

tant - Check that the bracket and arm are perfectly level. If neces-

sary, loosen the bracket screws and level as required.

h) - Permanently anchor the travel stops to the floor, in the same position

as established at the beginning of paragraph 3.4.

03. Checking perfect leaf closure.

IMPORTANT!

This procedure illustrates installation of the gearmotor WT1SC. The same instructions apply to installation of gearmotor WT1SK, if the gate has two leafs

Caution! • All installation operations and connections must be performed with the automation disconnected from the mains; if the backup battery PR2 is fitted, this must be disconnected. • Incorrect installation could cause serious physical injury.

a) - Close the leaf completely and ensure that it is placed against the trav-

el stop; then shake by hand to check and ensure that the gearmotor remains firmly in position. If this is not so, proceed as described below; otherwise skip to phase 04:

1. remove the slotted arm from the fixing bracket on the leaf;

2. loosen the bracket screws and move it by a few millimetres in the

direction of the gearmotor;

3. refit the slotted arm on the bracket, close the leaf and ensure that it is aligned in contact with the travel stop and aligned with the other leaf (if present). Caution! - If necessary, repeat point 2 to obtain perfect closure.

04. Permanently fixing the bracket on the leaf.

a) - Remove the slotted arm from the fixing bracket on the leaf (if not

already performed in phase 03).

b) - Drill a hole in the leaf at the same point as the hole at the centre of the

bracket and insert a screw. Permanently fix the bracket by tightening the three screws fully down.

c) - Fix the slotted arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and stop benzing.

05. Manually locking the gearmotor

a) - Manually move the leaf to approximately mid-travel and lock the

gearmotor by means of the special key (refer to chapter “Manually locking and releasing the gearmotor” in the “Operation Manual”). Then manually move the leaf by a few centimetres in the opening direction.

06. On 2-leaf gates.

a) - If the gate has two leafs, install the other gearmotor repeating all

operations described in paragraph 3.4 and in this paragraph.

4.1B - INSTALLATION WITH THE SHORT ARM

CAUTION! - This procedure is an alternative to procedure 4.1A. To understand which procedure to follow, read the instructions stated in paragraph 3.4.

01. Setting a new maximum leaf opening angle (maximum 90°).

a) - Without taking into account the previously established maximum

opening angle (paragraph 3.4), move the leaf to a new maximum opening position, ensuring that the angle does not exceed 90° (with the aid of the goniometer found on the last page of this manual). Lock the leaf in this position with a floor-mounted stop, fixed provi

sionally.

02. Calculating the measurement for shortening the slotted arm.

a) - On the surface of the post where the gearmotor is to be fixed, delete

the previously traced vertical line (paragraph 3.4).

b) - On the post, measure value B

(fig. 11), i.e. the distance between the fulcrum of leaf rotation (centre of the hinge pin) and the post surface where the gearmotor is to be fixed.

c) - On Graph 4 note the obtained value B

on the horizontal axis and

from this point trace a vertical line.

d) - Place the gearmotor on the post, positioning its rear bracket (used for

fixture) as close as possible to the leaf hinge pin, i.e. aligned and trim with the post.

e) - Keeping the gearmotor in this position, check that it is perfectly level,

and, using a pencil, trace a vertical line on the post, corresponding to the central vertical axis of the fixing bracket. The line must intersect the horizontal line already present; these two lines will serve as a reference for subsequent fixture of the gearmotor. Then remove the gearmotor.

f) - On the post, measure value A

(fig. 11), i.e. the distance between the fulcrum of leaf rotation (centre of the hinge pin) and the previously traced vertical line.

g) - On Graph 4 note value A

found on the vertical axis, and from this point trace a horizontal line until it intersects the previously traced vertical line. The point of intersection of the two lines defines value C

i.e. the distance required between the two pins of the slotted arm (fig. 14).

IMPORTANT!

This procedure illustrates installation of the gearmotor WT1SC. The same instructions apply to installation of gearmotor WT1SK, if the gate has two leafs.

03. Fixing the gearmotor to the post (fig. 15).

a) - Place the gearmotor against the post (*) aligning its central vertical

axis with the vertical line previously traced on the post. Then align the upper edge of the rear gearmotor bracket with the previously traced horizontal line on the post (paragraph 3.4). In this phase, ensure that the gearmotor is perfectly level; an offset gearmotor could cause malfunctions of the automation. (*) Warning! - If the post surface width is between 80 and 135 mm, before proceeding with installation, the rear gearmotor fixing bracket must be turned through 90°. Then follow the instructions in fig. 21.

b) - Mark the fixing points, drill the holes in the post and insert the plugs;

then secure the gearmotor using adequate screws and washers.

Note - The screws are not included in the kit as their type depends on the material and thickness of the post in which they are fixed.

c) - For increased stability of the gearmotor, adjust its rear feet so that

they are placed against the post. This adjustment can be made later, when the control unit is removed from its seat for the first time (paragraph 5.4).

04. Shortening the length of the slotted arm (fig. 16).

a) - Loosen the nut of the slotted arm, remove the stop and move the two

pins apart, checking that the distance between them is the same as the obtained value C. Then tighten the nut, but only provisionally.

05. Checking that the length of the slotted arm is sufficient (fig. 17 and 18).

a) - Move the gate leaf to the maximum leaf closing position against the

travel limit stop.

b) - Extend the arm and move it up towards the leaf, placing the fixing

bracket on the arm. Then, firmly press the curved arm against

the leaf (fig. 17-1a), until the two arms are completely extended; apply force at the joining point (elbow fitting). Caution! - the arms are completely extended only when the elbow blocks against its stop.

c) - Ensure that the gearmotor arm is level (fig. 17-1b) and use a pencil to

mark the centre of the slots on the bracket (fig. 17-2), to enable subsequent fine adjustments of leaf closure.

d) - Then provisionally fix the bracket on the leaf with a clamp or adhesive

tape and move the leaf to the maximum opening position, against the floor-mounted travel stop.

e) - With the leaf in this position, check the gate as shown in fig. 18-1:

stretch a piece of string passing exactly above the two pins of the slotted arm through to the leaf hinge pin. If the string is found between the hinge pin and post in the area of the hinge pin (position “BB” in fig. 18-2), extend the slotted arm by a few millimetres (value “C”) and repeat the check. Repeat the procedure several times if necessary until the string is located between the gate transit zone and the leaf hinge pin (position “AA” in fig. 18-2), and until the arm no longer comes into contact with the fixed obstacle behind the post.

06. Cutting the slotted arm (fig. 19).

After ensuring correct operation of the entire arm, cut the excessive part of the slotted arm as described below.

a) - T race a line on the slotted arm in the exact position specified in phase

1 in fig. 19. Then remove the arm from the bracket and cut the excess section of the arm.

b) - After removing any burrs found after cutting, re-assemble the arm

components with reference to fig. 7.

07. Fixing the arm on the leaf (fig. 20).

a) - Drill the leaf at the marked points; remove the bracket from the arm

and fix it to the gate leaf with adequate screws. Note - The screws

are not included in the kit as their type depends on the material and thickness of the post in which they are fixed.

b) - Fix the arm to the bracket, inserting the pin and stop benzing. Impor-

tant - Check that the bracket and arm are perfectly level. If neces-

sary, loosen the bracket screws and level as required.

c) - Permanently anchor the travel stops to the floor , in the same position

as established at the beginning of paragraph 3.4.
