This manual contains important information for the safety of consumers.
An improper installation can result in serious jury to objects and people.
Carefully read and follow all safety precautions identified with this warning symbol
Save this manual for future consultation.
Always cut the power when installing. Make sure the earth connection is properly connected.
Use and installation of the product must comply with Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE. Verify that the system is
EN 124445 and EN 12453 standard compliant. Installation must be carried out by expert qualified personnel who knows
the potential hazards associated and in full compliance with current regulations.
Use of the product must be restricted to its intended use. Any other use is to be considered dangerous and therefore forbidden.
Keep the gate and the gate opener regularly maintained. Use only Proteco’s original spares.
Users are strictly forbidden to carry out any changes on the gate operator.
Proteco Cancelli Automatici Srl is not liable for any damage resulting from improper, wrongful or unreasonable use.
2. INTENDED USE AND APPLICATION
Do not allow children to play with the fixed command devices, or in the gate’s area of operation.
Keep any remote control devices (i.e. transmitters) away from the children as well.
The myAster operator is designed to automate swing gates. The use of this product for purposes other
than those described above and installation executed in a manner other than as instructed in this technical
manual are prohibited. All myAster systems are irreversible, therefore no electric-lock is needed.
In case of power cut the gate operator can be easily released by manual operation.

The gate swings freely
The opening of the automated gate is not an entrapment hazard as regards any surrounding fixed parts and
there is sufficient space for manual release
Any lawn watering devices will not wet the gearmotor from the bottom up
The earth cable is properly connected
Do not install onto gates on either an upward or downward slope
(i.e. that are not on flat, level ground)

N.B.: The number of tubes and cables
(not included in the kit) depends on the type of
the accessories employed
(pic. A)
Cut off the power before starting wiring
A circuit breaker should be fitted close to the gate (3 mm wires) to protect both the gate control panel and the
house main fuse box. A 6A automatic breaker or a 16A single phase breaker complete with fuses shall be suitable.
Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the electrical cables: feed the motors, control panel and
accessories separately, in order to prevent interferences that may result in bad operation.
Fit the power cable keeping a curve as shown in picture B, in order to avoid water blackflow inside the operator.

3.4 INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
The kit is supplied with a right and a left hand motor and are specific. Ensure you are mounting the correct
handed motor to the leaf. See picture C. Make sure there is a mechanical stop (B) for opening and closing.

3.4.1. QUOTES FROM GROUND
The operator has to be fitted keeping a height from ground between 40 and 50 cm. See picture D.
If the gate is particularly light, fit the operator as closer as possible to gate centerline.
h max= 60 cm
h min= 15 cm

3.4.2. PILLAR BRACKETS – How to determine fixing dimensions
The ideal approach is to fix the brackets complying with the measures A and B as indicated in the below table
for an opening angle of 90° (picture E).
myAster 3 = max 125 mm
myAster 4 = max 175 mm
myAster 5 = max 225 mm
myAster 6 = max 275 mm
Tutti i collegamenti devono essere effettuati in assenza d’alimentazione.
Prevedere un dispositivo di sezionamento onnipolare nelle vicinanze dell’apparecchio (i contatti devono essere di almeno 3mm). Proteggere sempre l’alimentazione per mezzo di un interruttore automatico da 6A, oppure per mezzo di un interruttore monofase da 16A completo di fusibili.
Le linee di alimentazione ai motori, alla centrale e di collegamento agli accessori devono essere separate onde evitare disturbi che potrebbero generare mal funzionamenti dell’impianto.
Il cavo elettrico in uscita dall’attuatore non deve essere teso ma fare un’ampia curva verso il basso onde evitare il riflusso di acqua all’interno dell’attuatore stesso (fig.B)
fig. B
3.4 FISSAGGIO MOTORI
Identificare gli attuatori sinistro e destro in base alla figura (fig. C): se le cerniere sono sulla destra l’attuatore è destro, viceversa se sono sulla sinistra. Accertarsi che il cancello sia dotato di fermi meccanici in apertura e in chiusura (fig. D)

Fig.D
3.4.1. DETERMINAZIONE ALTEZZA DI FISSAGGIO ATTUATORI
L’altezza di fissaggio consigliata è compresa tra 40-50 cm (fig.E). In caso di cancelli con struttura leggera, tenere l’attuatore più vicino possibile alla mezzeria del cancello.

h max= 60 cm

If this ideal scenario of A and B is not applicable, then refer to the below table to determine the brackets position
(values are expressed in mm)
It's possible to have your gate opening outward (fig. F-G)

3.4.3. PILLAR BRACKET T1
Anchor the pivot bracket T1 onto the pillar by welding or bolting (Ø 13 mm bolts) , making sure the quotas shown
in the previous table are met. Ensure to keep a minimum distance of 30 mm from the pillar edge as shown in picture H.
Pic. H
In cases of masonry pillars, use chemical or resin to secure bolts or stone (cement) the bracket into position. Brackets T1
as well are supplied in two versions, left hand and right hand and match the according motor (see picture I). Fix motor
into bracket T1 and place the pivot pin PR1 though the holes. Keep the pivot pin PR1 oriented downward. See picture L.

3.4.4. GATE BRACKET S3
To determine the position of bracket S3:
Put the gate in closing position
Release the operator (see paragraph 5)
Extend the arm fully
Turn back the arm 2 cms. This avoids the motor to “leap forward”(pic. M)
Affix the bracket S3 to the motor slot as illustrated in picture M. Place the pivot pin PR1 into the locating hole.
Mount the arm of the motor onto the gate. Ensure the arm is perfectly straight.
NB.
Check the manual opening of the leaf before
definitively fixing the bracket to make sure the gate
can open fully to your required angle.

4. MANUAL RELEASE
Insert the hexagonal release key (included in the fixing pack) and turn 90° . See pictures O/P.
Now proceed to manual opening. To lock back the operator, insert the key and turn 90° .
The gate can be locked in any position since after the first start command the system will return to its default settings
