Pre-installation checks
Checking your gate ►
Your gate must be in good condition: ensure that its structure is suitable for automatic
control and that it conforms to the relevant standards.
Your 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.
Types of gates which can be motorised ►
Your motor can be adapted to all types of sliding door (PVC, wood, metal etc.).
For a barred gate with bars spaced
more than 50 mm apart, it is essential
to install a mesh (40 x 40 mm type)
along the entire length of the gate.
This will prevent any risk of trapping
(see mark ‘C’ opposite).
Fitting end stops to the gate ►
The gate must be stopped by end stops
xed securely to the ground to delimit the travel of the gate on opening and closing.

Electrical preequipment
Ensure that you have an Orange ICT Ø 25 mm protective sheath for underground
cabling. If a cable conduit cannot be made, use a cable grommet which will
withstand the passage of vehicles (ref. 2400484).
Power supply (230 V only) ►
Fit a 230 V electrical input as close as possible to the motor.
The motor's electronic unit must be supplied with 230 V - 50 Hz with a exible 1.5 mm²
cable.
The electric line should be:
Exclusively reserved for the motor.•
Fitted with protection: •
– a 10 A fuse or breaker,
– a differential type device (30 mA).
Installed according to current electrical safety standards in the countries in which •
it is used.
An all-pole supply cut-off device must be provided:
either by using a supply cable tted with a plug,•
or by using a switch ensuring a minimum separation distance between the contacts •
of 3 mm on each pole (according to the EN 60335-1 standard).
It is recommended that you t a lightning conductor (max. residual voltage 2 kV).
The cells (as an option in the Freevia 280 pack) ►
The cells are essential for operation in automatic mode and for opening in public
areas.
Cell wiring • (see page 23)
Ensure that there is a sheathed connection between the two pillars for the cell wiring.
Drill holes in the two ends of the gate frame to feed through the sheaths. The cells
must be connected to the motor electronics using a 2 x 0.75 mm² cable. The feed
wires should arrive under the cells.
Cell location (see page 22).•
Orange light (optional) ►
It is recommended that you install an orange light for operation in automatic mode and
for opening in public areas.
Orange light wiring (see page 26) •
Allow the cable to be fed through for the installation of the orange light. The orange
light must be connected to the motor electronics using a 2 x 0.75 mm² cable.
Orange light location (see page 25)•
Safety instructions
The safety instructions must be followed throughout the installation:
Remove any jewellery (bracelets, chains, etc.) during installation.•
For drilling or welding operations, wear special goggles and sufcient protection.•
Use appropriate tools, specied on page 6.•
Be careful when handling the motorisation system to prevent any risk of injury.•
Do not connect the unit to the power supply or to the backup battery (optional) before the •
installation process is complete.
Never use high pressure cleaning equipment.•

EN
Fitting the end stops ►
The gate must be stopped by end stops which are securely xed to the ground and which
delimit the end of travel.
Base ►
The lag screws for mounting the
motor must be securely anchored to
the ground. The type and dimension
of the base depends on the nature
of the ground. Allow for the supply
cable to be fed through according to
the electrical standards in force in
the country of use.
1. PREPARING THE BASE
Steps

Mounting the motor ►
[1]. Tighten the 4 nuts (8) and add 4 washers (9).
[2]. Remove the cover (1) from the motor (4).
[3]. Position the motor on the
lag screws: ensure that
the bracket (base of the
motor) is no more than
25 mm above the ground.
The recommended space is
between 20 and 25 mm.
Use a spirit level to
check that the motor is level.
[4]. Once the motor is positioned at the right height
in relation to the ground, x it in place using the
washers (9) and tighten the 4 nuts (8).
[5]. Position the pre-drilled grommet (10) in the
opening through which the supply cable
should be fed.
Steps

Mounting the motor•
Fitting the rack•
Mechanical adjustment•
Fitting the lag screws ►
[1]. Position the installation template (18) on the
ground and drill 4 holes using a drill bit (Ø
12 mm) suitable for the type of ground.
[2]. Insert the plugs (12). Screw in the lag
screws (11).
2. MOUNTING
Grease the lag screws lightly before
screwing them into the plugs.

[1]. Check that the motor is
unlocked and that the
handle is in position
.
[2]. Use the pencil provided
(20) to mark the
position of the rack.
With one hand, hold
the pencil in the
notches provided on the
motor.
With the other hand, slide
the gate to trace the height
of the rack mounting.
[3]. Fix an initial rack component
(7) by positioning the top
of the rack on the line
drawn by the pencil.
Fix the other rack
components in the same
way. Use HSHC head
screws (ø 6) to suit the gate
material (metal, wood).
Up to 5 m of rack can be installed (set of 3 x 33 cm rack components, ref: 2400962).
