STEP 2
2.1 – PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
In general, the series of devices that make up this product serve to automate a sliding gate for residential applications (fig. 1).
Any other use than as specified herein or in environmental conditions other than as stated in STEP 3 is to be considered improper
and is strictly prohibited!
The gearmotor comprises a 12 V dc motor, a pinion and a control unit.
The control unit powers all devices present in the system and manages all
relative functions. It is made up of a board and incorporated radio receiver which receives the commands sent by a transmitter. It may also be
controlled via a wall-mounted keypad or a pair of photocells set with the
single opening command.
The control unit can control different types of manoeuvres, each programmable and usable according to specific requirements.
Special functions are also available to enable personalisation of automation use.
The automation enables the installation of various accessories which
enhance functionality and guarantee optimal safety. In particular, the control unit can memorise up to 150 keys of MT4 transmitters; up to 4 MK
control keypads or alternatively up to 4 pairs of MP photocells, set for the
opening command only.
Connections of the various devices are by means of a “Bus” cable. This
reduces complexity of the connection, as the “Bus” envisages the use of
a single cable between one device and another.
The product is mains-powered, and, in the event of a power failure
enables manual release of the gearmotor for manual movement of the
gate leafs.
In this situation, the gate can also be opened using the buffer battery (MB
model) if fitted on the system.

PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION WORK
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product
components, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the
intended installation environment.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a manual
gate that does not have a fully efficient and safe mechanical structure. Neither can it solve defects caused by poor installation or insufficient maintenance of the door itself.
3.1 – CHECKING SUITABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
AND THE GATE TO BE AUTOMATED
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current
national standards and that it is suitable for automation. (If present, refer
to the information specified on the gate dataplate).
• Move the gate leaf manually to open and close, checking that move-
ment has the same degree of friction throughout all points of travel (no
increase in friction must occur).
• Manually move the leafs to any position and leave stationary, ensuring
that they do not move from this position.
• Ensure that the space around the gearmotor enables safe and easy
manual gate release. (see chapter “Manually releasing or locking the
gearmotor” in the “Operation manual”).
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and pro-
tected against the risk of accidental impact.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for fixing the photocells are flat and
enable correct alignment between photocells.
3.2 – CHECKING PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
To ascertain suitability of the product with respect to the specific features
of the gate and area to be automated, the following checks should be performed as well as a check for compliance of the technical data in this
paragraph and the chapter “Product technical specifications”.
IMPORTANT – For the checks below, refer also to fig. 3 and 4:
– Fig. 3: indicates the overall dimensions of the gearmotor.
– Fig. 4: indicates values A and B, i.e. the minimum and maximum meas-
urements to observe when locating the position for the foundation plate.
Note – These measurements also serve as a reference to calculate the
space occupied by the foundation pit for routing the electrical cable ducting.
• Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the gate are within the follow-
ing limits of use.
- maximum length 5 m (
*
);
- maximum weight 300 kg.
(
*
) Note – The e rack supplied with this product is suitable for automation
of a gate with leafs of a maximum length of 4 m. If necessary, this may be
extended to a maximum length of 5 m using rack mod. MR1 (2 sections of
50 cm).
• Ensure that the dimensions of the selected area for mounting the gear-
motor is compatible with the overall dimensions.
• On the gate leaf, ensure that the surface for mounting the rack is suit-
able and solid.
CAUTION! – If the results of these checks do not conform to
specifications, this model cannot be used for automation of
your gate.

CAUTION! - If forced to install the gearmotor on the left-hand side of
the gate, refer to the instructions in STEP 6.1.
4.1.4 – Establishing the device connection layout
The product envisages a “Bus” type connection between all system
devices, using a single cable with two electrical wires. In this type of connection, data communication between devices is via cable, using the specific protocol named “Bus-Moovo”.
CAUTION! – on the Bus system, only devices compatible with this protocol may be installed in the system.
On a “Bus” network, devices can be connected using various connection
configurations, and in each one, each device becomes a node of this network. The possible connection layouts are the following:
– “star”: In this configuration, each device is autonomous as it is connected directly to the two Bus terminals on the control unit.
– “chain”: In this configuration one device is connected to another and
the latter to another and so on, like links of a chain. Therefore only the first
device in the chain is connected to the two Bus terminals on the control
unit.
– “mixed”: this configuration is a combination of the two configurations
described above.
To select the most suitable connection configuration for the connection of
all system devices, refer to the example shown in fig. 7 / fig. 17. In gener-
al, it is recommended to connect the flashing light as the first device connected to the control unit.

.
CAUTION! – The cables used must be suited to the installation environment; for example a cable type H07RN-F for outdoor environments is recommended.
4.1.5 – Checking the tools required for work
Before starting installation, ensure that there is all equipment and materials required for the work concerned (see example in fig. 6); also ensure
that all items are in good condition and comply with local safety standards.
4.1.6 – Preliminary set-up work
Dig the routes for the ducting used for electrical cables, or alternatively
external ducting can be laid, after which the pipelines can be embedded
in concrete and other preparation work for the installation can be completed to finalise the site ready for subsequent installation operations.
In particular, for digging the pit for anchoring the gearmotor to the
ground, proceed as follows:
01. Dig the foundation pit in the gearmotor fixture point: refer to STEP
3.2.
Note – The dimensions of the pit must be the same or greater than
those of the foundation plate.
02. Lay the ducting used for electrical cables as shown in the figure
below.
CAUTION! – In general, position the ends of the ducting used for
electrical cables in the vicinity of the points envisaged for fixture of
the various components.
Note: The ducting serves to protect electrical cables and prevent accidental damage in the event of impact.
4.2 – PREPARING THE ELECTRICAL CABLES
When preparing the electrical cables required for your system, please
refer to fig. 7 and “Table 1 – Technical characteristics of the electric
cables”. In addition to this, you should always remember the following:
– In the “star” configuration, NONE of the individual cables linking up
any of the devices to the Control Unit may exceed 20 m in length
.
– In the “chain” configuration”, the sum of the lengths of each cable
used to connect one device to the other and, last of all, to the Control Unit MUST NOT exceed 20 m
.
– If connecting other devices between the Control Unit and the flashing lamp, use the same cable for these devices as was used for the
flashing lamp.
– All operations to lay the electric cables and connect them to the
various devices must be carried out during installation of the components.

INSTALLING THE AUTOMATION COMPONENTS
WARNINGS
• Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to those
working on or using the system.
• Before starting automation assembly, make the preliminary checks
as described in STEP 3.
The following assembly phases illustrate the “physical” illustration of the
gearmotor.
01. After digging the pit for fixture of the gearmotor (see STEP 4.1.7),
secure the anchor bolts to the plate as follows (fig. 8):
a) Tighten a standard nut (NOT locknut) fully down on each anchor
bolt.
b) Insert the anchor bolts so that the threaded section protrudes by
30 mm from the side of the plate bearing the pinion image.
c) Then temporarily tighten a standard nut (NOT locknut) onto the
ends of the anchor bolts. Note – In the next steps, the two upper
nuts will be removed and replaced with two locknuts.
02. Cast concrete into the pit, filling it to the edge and ensuring that the
ducting tube for electric cables come out of the surface.
03. While the concrete is still liquid, carefully place the foundation plate
on top, immersing the anchor bolts in the mix: shake the plate to
ensure that all air escapes from underneath and no bubbles form.
Take care to observe the following warnings (fig. 9):
– the side of the plate bearing the image of the pinion must be facing
the gate (see fig. 4);
– the ducting tube for routing the electric cables must pass through
the relative hole in the plate;
– observe the distances specified in fig. 4 to correctly position the
plate with respect to the gate leaf and wall.
– ensure that the plate is parallel to the gate and perfectly level (use a
spirit level).
04. When the concrete is solid (after a few days), loosen and remove the
upper nuts of the plate, which are no longer required.
05. Remove the gearmotor cover using a screwdriver to loosen the 4 lat-
eral screws (fig. 10). Note – Leave the gearmotor without the cover
until the installation and programming phases have been completed
06. Fig. 11:
a) Pass the electric cables through the relative holes and cable
clamps.
b) Gently place the gearmotor on the protruding section of the
anchor bolts so that they are inserted in the lateral holes of the gearmotor. Lock the assembly with the serrated washer and locknut
.
Note – Do not tighten the nuts fully down, as the gearmotor must
subsequently be moved forwards and backwards during rack
assembly.
07. Assemble and secure the rack:
To facilitate this operation, the rack assembly should be put together
separately, including brackets, to then be mounted onto the gate leaf.
Assemble the rack
:
a) - establish the total length of the rack, which should be the same
length as the gate leaf. Then calculate the number of parts required
(sections of 50 cm) and if necessary cut one section to reach the
total required length.
b) - using a rubber mallet, join the two sections of the rack and insert
a fixing bracket in the joining point. Then secure the bracket by
means of a screw (fig. 12).
– To improve fixture of the rack to the gate leaf, fix a bracket also at
the centre of each section.
c) - assemble the other parts of the rack (fig. 13) proceeding as
described in point “b”. Lastly, fit a fixing bracket on each end of the
rack: this must be positioned between the 6th and 8th tooth of the
rack, starting from the end.
Fixing the rack to the gate leaf
:
d) - close the gate leaf completely.

e) - position one end of the rack above the gearmotor pinion, taking
care to align the first fixing bracket with the centre of the pinion (fig. 14).
f) - using a spirit level, level the first section of the rack in the pinion
area and temporarily secure to the gate leaf by means of adhesive
tape.
Then repeat the same operations on the next section and so on
through the entire length of the rack, taking care to position each
section horizontally and perfectly aligned with the end placed on the
pinion.
g) - Tighten the fixing brackets fully down on the gate leaf as follows
(fig. 15): first secure the two brackets in the vicinity of the gear-
motor by means of screws and washers (with the gate completely closed). Then move the gate to bring the next bracket in
alignment with the pinion and secure it to the leaf.
Repeat the same operation for the next bracket and so on until all
brackets on the rack are secured.
Note – The screws required to fix the rack on the gate leaf are not
included in the pack as their type depends on the material and thickness of the leaf on which they are inserted.
h) - before securing the last section of the rack, completely open the
gate and check that the bracket on the end is aligned with the centre
of the pinion. If this is not so, move the bracket to this position and, if
necessary, use a hacksaw to cut off the excess section of the rack,
leaving a free section of approx. 5 cm. IMPORTANT - the rack must
not protrude from the gate leaf.
Caution – At the end of this work, check that the rack is perfectly level; the slots on the brackets enable corrections of small
differences in alignment during fixture.
08. Then secure the gearmotor onto the foundation plate, tightening the
two locknuts fully down: the pinion must be perfectly aligned with the
rack; if necessary slide the gearmotor forwards or backwards to
adjust.
09. Release the gearmotor by means of the special release key (see
chapter “Manually releasing or locking the gearmotor” in the
“Operation manual”) and move the gate leaf to mid-travel.
10. Make a number of complete manual gate opening and closing
manoeuvres to enable self-adjustment of the mechanical limit
switches. Important – During this manoeuvre, ensure that the rack
slides in alignment with the pinion.
11. Then move the gate leaf to mid-travel and lock the gearmotor
by means of the special key (see chapter “Manually releasing or
locking the gearmotor” in the “Operation manual”).
Note – The 4 stud bolts supplied in the pack must be used exclusively to
adjust the gearmotor height, when deciding to assembly the rack before
the gearmotor (fig. 16).
