INSTALLATION

The product may only be installed by a qualied tter. The manu­facturer, Tau, declines all liability for damage to property and/or in­jury to people deriving from the incorrect installation of the system
or its noncompliance with current law (see Machinery Directive).

Use on gates with a gradient or slope is not allowed.

Be careful not to run cables for auxiliary devices in­side raceways housing other cables supplying power
to large loads or lights with electronic starters

.

In the event control pushbuttons or indicator lights are
installed inside homes or ofces several metres from
the actual control unit, it is advisable to decouple the
signal by means of a relay in order to avoid induced
interference

OVERALL DIMENSIONS

Figs. 3,4,5 show the main overall dimensions for the sliding gate;
gs.6-7 show the dimensions of the foundation counterplate, while
g.8 shows the dimensions of the adjustable counterplate for mod­el BIG18.

PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS

Carefully read the instructions contained in the handbook before
starting work.
Before proceeding with installation, make sure that all the compo­nents are present, use suitable work equipment and do not touch

live electrical parts.

CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION

Before proceeding with installation check that:

- The wheels of the gate are mounted in such a way as to make
it stable and that they are in good condition and perfect working
order;

- The whole of the slide rail is unobstructed, straight and clean
and a travel stop is tted at either end.

INSTALLATION DISTANCES

To install the gear motor correctly, make sure it is at a distance of
65 mm from the gate.
See g. 09 for xing to a concrete oor, g. 10 for digging and g.
11 for positioning the counterplate.

PREPARING THE BASE

Dig foundations at least 15 cm deep and sufciently wide. Use
protective sheaths for the cables.

FIXING THE FOUNDATION COUNTERPLATE

Fill the hole with concrete and sink the bet pins into it; the counterplate
must be perfectly at at 1 or 2 cm from the level of the nished oor
and at a distance of approximately 65 mm from the gate.
NB: it is also possible to install the gear motor without the founda­tion counterplate by using four foundation bolts on a at concrete
base; the measurements shown in g. 9 must always be respected.
A height-adjustable counterplate may be used for model BIG18; in
this case, the xed bent pins must be welded to the rail, see g. 12/a.
This makes it possible to adapt the gear motor to a pre-existing
system; the measurements shown in g. 12/b must be respected.

ANCHORING THE GEAR MOTOR

Tighten the screws (as shown in g. 13) on both sides of the gear
motor. Fit all the cables into the sheath, which passes through the
hole made in the base of the foundation counterplate.

FIXING THE RACK

Prepare the rack with the relative brackets (g. 14).
Place the rack on the motor pinion (released) respecting the dis­tance between the tooth of the gear and the tooth of the rack as
shown in g. 15. Make a hole in the leaf at the centre of the slot
and x with the relative screws. Slide the leaf along the pinion and
x each bracket in turn.

FIXING AND ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCH SHOES

Fix the shoes as shown in g. 16, one near either end of the rack.
Move the leaf by hand and position the shoes so that they touch
the microswitch lever just before the leaf hits the travel stops at
both ends of the rail; then tighten the screws.

A single factor or combination of factors (thermal ex­pansion, climate, frequency of use, etc.) may result in
the position the gate stops in changing over the course
of the day, both when opening and when closing. Con­sequently, we cannot guarantee that the gate will al­ways stop in the same position.

ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL CLUTCH

Before starting, make sure to disconnect the gear motor from the
power supply.
BIG18: Make a 1/2 or a whole turn at a time using the sup-

plied wrench (g. 17).

BIG30-40: After removing the lock nut (1 g. 18A) and the stop

dowel (2 g. 18A), adjust the thrust force using the
hex wrench provided (3 g. 18B) (rotate clockwise to
increase the thrust force, rotate counter-clockwise
to decrease it). After adjusting as needed, reas­semble the stop dowel (2 g. 18D) until it reaches
the mechanical stop, then fasten the lock nut (1 g.
18D).

VERSION WITH CHAIN PINION: R30 / R40

The door can also be power-operated as shown in g. 19. Pass the
chain as shown in g.
Fig. 19 also shows the type of chain required (pitch 5/8” x 3/8”).

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS

For electrical connection, please refer to the specic instructions
for each electrical control panel. The following tips apply to all models.
Do not put the power cables in the same sheath as the motor ca­bles. Always choose the shortest routes for the cable lines. Make
sure the equipment is well earthed. A general switch should be
