5. INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
5.1.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure
the following conditions are observed:
The gate structure must be suitable for automation. The following are
•
necessary in particular: wheel diameter must be in proportion to the
weight of the gate to be automated, an upper guide must be
provided, plus mechanical stop limit s to prevent the gate derailing.
The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation plinth.
•
There must be no pipes or electric cables in the plinth excavation area.
•
If the gearmotor is exposed to passing vehicles, install, if possible,
•
adequate means of protection against accidental impact.
Check if an efficient earthing is available for electric connection to the
•
gearmotor.
5.2.
MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLATE
1) Assemble the foundation
plate as shown in figure 4.
2) The foundation plate must
be located as shown in figure
5 (right closing) or figure 6
(left closing) to ensure the
rack and pinion mesh
correctly.
Caution: While positioning the
plate, leave the Ø 80 hole
foreseen for the routing of the
sheaths on the left, as shown in
fig. 5 and 6, ref.A.

3) Prepare a foundation plinth as shown in fig.4 and wall the foundation
plate, supplying one or more sheaths for routing electric cables. Using
a spirit level, check if the plate is perfectly level. Wait for the cement
to set.
4) Lay the electric cables for connection to the accessories and power
supply as shown in figure 3.
To make the connections efficiently, allow the cables to project by
about 40 cm from the hole (Fig.5-6 ref.1) of the foundation plate.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1) Remove the motor cover, fully unscrewing the 2 upper securing screws
(Fig.8 ref.A), turn the cover by about 30° and extract it vertically.
Withdraw the 2 side guards (Fig.8 ref.B).
2) Place the operator on the plate,
using the supplied washers and nuts
as shown in figure 9.
When doing this, route the cables
Fig. 4
through the appropriate hole on the
reduction body of the operator (Fig.9
ref.A).
3) Adjust the height of the feet and the
distance from the gate, referring to
Fig.10. NB.: this operation is necessary
to ensure the rack is correctly secured
and to enable any new motor height
adjustments in the future.

4) Secure the gearmotor to the foundation plate, tightening the nuts as
in Fig.11.
5) Prepare the operator for manual operating mode as described in
paragraph 8.
