GENERAL INFORMATION

SAFETY

Safety instructions

Important safety instructions. Follow all the instructions as incorrect installation can lead to serious injury.
This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) whose physical, sensory or mental capacity is impaired, or persons with little experience or

knowledge, unless they are under supervision or have received instructions on using the device by a person responsible for their safety.
Check that the temperature range marked on the motors is suited to the location where the motors are to be installed.
Before installing the motor, ensure that the driven part is in good mechanical condition, that it is correctly balanced and that it opens and closes correctly.
The motor cannot be used with a driven part incorporating a small gate (unless the motor is inhibited when the small gate is opened).
Ensure that there are no danger zones (risk of crushing, cutting, trapping) between the gate and the surrounding fixed elements caused by the opening movement

of the gate.
Watch the gate while it is moving.
Place the fixed control devices and remote controls out of the reach of children.
Any switch without a locking device must be installed in direct view of the gate and away from any mobile parts. Unless it is key-operated, it must be installed at

a minimum height of 1.5 m and must not be accessible to the public.
During installation of the motorisation:

Remove any jewellery (bracelets, chains, etc.). ­For drilling and welding operations, wear special glasses and sufficient protection. ­Use the appropriate tools. ­Do not connect to the power source until installation is complete. -

Be careful when handling the motorisation system to prevent any risk of injury. ­After installation, ensure that the mechanism is correctly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual release mechanism operate correctly.
Regularly check the condition of the gate. Gates in poor condition must be repaired, reinforced or even replaced. Check that the various motorisation component's

screws and fittings are correctly tightened.
Before carrying out work on the installation, switch off the power supply.

In order to operate, the motor must be supplied with 230 V -50 Hz. The electric line should:

- solely be used for the motor,

- have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm²,

- be equipped with protection (10 A fuse or breaker) and a differential device (30 mA),

- be equipped with an all-pole disconnection device,

- be installed in accordance with the current electrical safety standards.
It is recommended that the installation be fitted with a lightning conductor (in compliance with standard NF C 61740, maximum residual voltage 2 kV).
All 230 V lighting connected to the “zone lighting” output must be connected to earth or be of the double isolation type.

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS

Gate

The gate must be in good condition: ensure that its structure is suitable for automatic control and that it conforms to the relevant standards.
The gate must remain horizontal throughout its travel, and must open and close manually with ease. Ensure that the gate travels straight at ground level, and that

there are no sticking points that may prevent it from sliding correctly.

Pillars

The pillars are untrue so require the use of an intermediate plate.
Furthermore, when one of the motor clamp mounting holes is not resting on anything or is close to the angle of the pillar or wall, it is essential to use the

intermediate plate (ref. 2400485).

Reinforcements

If the gate has no reinforcements, prepare some metal reinforcement plates (e.g.: 15x15 cm and 4 cm thick). for mounting the brackets to the gate leaves.

L ≤ 2 m

H ≤ 2 m

P ≤ 200 Kg

PREPARATION AND DRILLING OF PILLARS

For the indicated values, the gate leaves and their hinge pins are taken to
be on the same axis.

If the hinge pins are offset, the maximum opening angle values will be
reduced.

[1]. Measure dimension A.
[2]. Select dimension B in the table according to the required opening

angle.

A (mm) α max. (°) B (mm)

0

120 205
110 160
105 150

50 100 150
100 95 150
150 90 150
200 90 150
250 90 150

[3]. Trace axis AM on the pillar copying dimension B on the pillar.

65 mm

[6]. Trace horizontal line AH in the middle of the reinforcement, perpendicular

to the rotational axis of the gate.
If the gate has no reinforcements, place the motors approximately
1/3 of the way up the gate leaves from the bottom.
Extend this line on the pillar until it intersects with AM.

[7]. Place the template where the 2 lines intersect and drill.

[4]. Check that dimension D is greater than or equal to 435 mm.

There must be no obstacles to impede the movement of the arm in this
area.

[5]. Check that dimension L is between 800 mm and 2000 mm.

If L < 1250, the installation of a set of photoelectric cells is essential.
