Galvanised iron rack - 1,18x0,47"(30x12mm) section - supplied in 3,28ft (1 - metre)
lengths - threaded spacers to be welded - max. capacity 4409,2 lb (2000kg (≈
20000N)). Having fixed the spacers in the middle of each of the slots in the vari-
ous rack pieces, weld the spacers to the gate. Also in this case, arrange a section
of rack the other way round in the joining points of the various rack pieces to
ensure a correct tooth pitch. The screws which fix the rack to the spacers allow
the rack to be adjusted in height.
7.4) Rack fitting
To fit the rack, proceed as follows:
• Activate the emergency release by rotating the appropriate release knob (See
paragraph "Emergency manoeuvre").
• Rest the rack end on the control pinion and secure it (by welding or using
screws) in correspondence with the pinion, while sliding the gate along by
hand (fig. 9).
• In the case of incorrect gate alignment (excessive side curving) which cannot
be corrected, place a few shims between the rack and gate in order to ensure
continuous centring of the rack with respect to the pinion (fig. 10).
DANGER - The welding operation is to be carried out by a competent person
who must be provided with all the personal protection equipment required
by the current safety standards.
8) PINION ADJUSTMENT
Having finished fixing the rack, the rack-pinion play needs to be adjusted to ap-
proximately 0,078"(2mm) (fig.6): this is obtained by slackening the four M10 nuts
under the gearmotor base by approximately 0,078"(2mm), and then securing the
four upper nuts. Make sure that the rack and pinion are aligned and centred (fig.10).
WARNING - Remember that the rack and pinion life strictly depends on their
correct meshing.
9) ELECTROMECHANICAL LIMITING DEVICES
The operation must be carried out with the emergency release activated and
the mains power supply disconnected. The runners which control the limiting
devices are to be positioned at both ends of the rack.
- Push the gate fully open by hand.
- Position the opening end-of-stroke runner (fig.11) so that it intercepts the
microswitch control lever and makes it trigger. Having identified the correct
position, tighten the runner screws.
- Push the gate fully closed by hand.
- Position the closing end-of-stroke runner (fig.11) so that it intercepts the
microswitch control lever and makes it trigger. Having identified the correct
position, tighten the runner screws.
-
The runners must lock the gate before this intercepts the mechanical backstops
placed on the track. The closing end-of-stroke runner adjustment must be
made in such a way as to leave a clearance of approximately 50mm between
the gate and the fixed swing leaf, as prescribed by the current safety standards,
otherwise fit an electric edge at least 50mm thick (fig.12).
10) GATE BACKSTOPS
DANGER - The gate must be provided with mechanical backstops, both
on opening and closing, in order prevent it from coming out of the upper
guide (fig.13); the backstops must be tightly secured to the ground, a few
centimetres beyond the electrical stop point.
11) ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SETUP
Lay out the electrical installation as shown in fig.14 with reference to the CEI 64-8
and IEC364 provisions complying with the HD384 and other national standards
in force for electrical installation.
WARNING! For connection to the mains, use a multipolar cable having a mini-
mum cross section of 3x16 AWG and complying with the current standards.
(For example, if the cable is not protected, it must be at least equal to H07
RN-F, whereas if it is protected it must be at least equal to H07 VV-F with a
3x16 AWG sq cross section).
Connect the control and safety devices in compliance with the previously men-
tioned technical installation standards. The cables (mains and auxiliary) must be
distinctly separated. Fig.14 shows the number of connections and their cross
sections for a length of approximately 328,08 ft(100 metres); for greater lengths,
calculate the cross section for the true automation load.
The main automation components are (fig.14):
I
Type-approved adequately rated omnipolar circuit-breaker with at
least 0,14"(3,5 mm) contact opening, provided with protection against
overloads and short circuits, suitable for cutting out automation from
the mains. If not already install ed, place a type-approved omnipolar
circuit-breaker with a 0.03A threshold just before the automation
system.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION
Use an antenna tuned to 433MHz.
For Antenna-Receiver connection, use RG8 coaxial cable.
The presence of metallic masses next to the antenna can interfere with radio
reception. In case of insufficient transmitter range, move the antenna to a more
suitable position.
12) TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
After adequate electric cables have been made to pass through the raceways
and the various automation components fixed to the chosen points, these must
be connected according to the instructions and diagrams shown in the relevant
instruction manuals. Connect the phase, neutral and earth (compulsory) cables.
The mains cable is to be secured in the appropriate cable clamp (fig.15- ref. P1),
the accessory cables in their cable clamp (fig.15- ref. P2), and the protection (earth)
wire, having a yellow/green insulating sheath, must be held in its appropriate wire
clamp (fig.15 - ref. S).
The automation device is to be set at work after all the safety devices have been
connected and checked. See the terminal diagram in fig.16.

13) CONNECTION TO SAFETY DEVICES
Note: only use safety devices which can receive with a free changeover
contact (refer to Fig.19).
To connect the photocells refer to the diagram in fig. 19 taking into account the
number of pairs used: 1 pair box 1C, 2 pairs box 2C. The control unit performs the
test of 2 safety devices. The additional devices must be equipped with internal
self-diagnosis and connected in series. If photocells are not used, leave the jum-
pers aligned between terminal 21/23, and between terminal 21/24 of the QSC D
UL board. The connection of the infrared rubber skirt must be performed in the
same way as for the photocells, i.e. by energizing the transmitter from terminal
16/17 and the receiver from terminal 12/13.
14) PROGRAMMING
The control panel provided with a microprocessor is supplied with function
parameters preset by the manufacturer, suitable for standard installations. The
predefined parameters can be altered by means of either the incorporated display
programmer or universal palmtop programmer.
In the case where programming is carried out by means of universal palmtop
programmer, carefully read the instructions relating to universal palmtop pro-
