OVERALL DIMENSIONS
The main overall dimensions of a sliding gate are given in fi gs. 1, 2 and 3. The dimensions of the counter foundation plate are given in fi g. 9
and the sizes of the adjustable counterplate are given in fi g. 37.
PRIOR CONSIDERATIONS
Read the few instructions given inside the manual carefully before starting any work. Before actually starting to install, check you have all
the components, all the suitable instruments needed; DO NOT work on live parts. Now plug the control unit into the mains and start the
gearmotor with the remote control.
INSTALLATION DISTANCES
To install the gear motor correctly, observe the excavation and positioning distances shown in fi gs. 7-8, as well as those in fi g. 11 for
positioning the counterplate.
CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before you start installing check that:
-
the gate wheels have been mounted to render the gate fi rm, that they are in god conditions and effi cient;
-
the sliding raid is free, straight and clean along its length and that there are stop pads at the ends;
-
the top guide is in axis with the rail, that it is lubricated and gives the gate about 1 mm play;
FINDING THE SITE
Choose a position that is identical to the dotted area in fi g 7, if you are going to fi x it directly to the ground (if it is in concrete) or fi g. 8 if
excavation is necessary.
PREPARING THE BASE
Dig confortably wide foundations, at least 15 cm deep. Protect the cables with a sheath.
FIXING THE FOUNDATION COUNTERPLATE
After digging the hole, prepare the foundation counterplate by bending the bent pins on the same side as the inserts (1 fi g.11) for fi xing the
gear motor with screws. Cover with concrete sinking the bent pins but leaving the inserts uncovered for the gear motor fi xing; the counterplate
must be perfectly fl at at 1 or 2 cm from ground level and at a distance of approximately 50 mm from the gate (fi g. 8).
N.B.: the gear motor can also be installed without the foundation counterplate by using two foundation bolts on a fl at concrete
base; the measurements shown in fi g. 7 must always be respected.
An optional accessory is a height-adjustable counterplate, the bent pins of which must be welded to the rail, see fi g. 38. Then fi x the
adjustable counterplate as shown in fi g. 39.
This makes it possible to adapt the gear motor to a pre-existing system; observe the measurements shown in fi g. 38.
ANCHORING THE GEARED MOTOR
Tighten the screws (as shown in fi g. 14) on both sides of the gear motor. Thread all the cables through the holes in the base of the foundation
counterplate, push in the casing fi g.15 and fi x it with the relative screws fi g. 16.
The above operations also apply to the adjustable counterplate, as shown in fi gs. 40-41-42.
FIXING THE RACK
After drilling holes in the leaf, fi x the rack with 6.3 mm diam. self-tapping screws, see fi gs. 17-18.
Important: observe the installation distances and the distance between the tooth of the gear and the tooth of the rack, as shown
in fi gs. 20-21-22.
N.B.: the entire width of the tooth of the rack must run along the tooth of the gear motor (fi g. 27).
There are two types of rack available: the standard one-piece version and the modular version featuring 50 cm long sections fi g. 36.
FIXING AND ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCH SHOES (SPEED 8)
Fix the shoes as shown in fi g. 19, 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.
To ensure the automated system works correctly, limit the distance between the gear motor guard and the limit switch shoe
mounted on the rack to a minimum of 13mm and a maximum of 18mm (fi g. 26).
The point of contact of the limit switch shoe with the spring should also be lubricated with a little oil in order to allow it to slide
smmothly and prevent the latter from being crushed.
