3. INSTALLATION

Attention
The motorisation must be disengaged during installation.

3.1. Assembling the manual release handle

1) Insert the release handle into the specific housing on the motor.
2) Tighten the release handle.
3) Fit the screw cover.

3.2. Unlocking the motorisation - Fig. 5

1) Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the le .
2) Turn the release handle to the right.
Attention
Do not forcibly push the gate. Hold the gate over its entire travel
during manual manoeuvres.

3.3. Installing the motorisation

3.3.1. Fitting the mounting system
The motor mounting kit provided is to be used on a concrete base. For all
other types of mounting, use the appropriate fittings.
1) Position the template:
• parallel to the gate,
• with the symbol on the pinion pointing towards the gate,
• by moving it by 25 mm in relation to the front line of the rack (if the
rack is fitted with a cover, measure from the line on the rack, not on
the cover),
• so that it does not obstruct movement and to ensure the gate is able
to open and close completely.
2) Mark the location for the ground mountings.
3) Drill to a depth of 60 mm.
4) Push in the coach screws.
5) Place a washer and nut onto each coach bolt.
6) Tighten the nuts to secure the coach screws into the ground.
7) Add a nut to each coach bolt and screw them on in order to position
them 23 mm from the ground.
8) Fit the metal plate onto the nuts.
9) Check that the metal plate is level.
10) Fit the motor onto the metal plate.
11) Check the dimensions indicated in Fig. 7 of the installation instructions
- illustrations.
12) Add a washer and nut to each coach bolt without tightening them.

3.3.2. Fitting the motor
1) Push the motor towards the gate.
2) Ensure the pinion is correctly positioned under the rack.
3) Set the height of the motor and/or the rack to ensure a clearance of
approximately 2 mm between the rack and the pinion.
This setting is important to prevent premature wear of the pinion and
rack; the pinion must not be supporting the weight of the gate.
4) Check:
• the adjustment nuts are all in contact with the metal plate,
• the gate runs correctly,
• the clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary significant-
ly over the gate's travel.
5) Tighten the nut on each coach bolt to fix the motor in place.
3.3.3. Fitting the end limit brackets
1) Manually move the gate to the open position.
2) Position a bracket onto the rack so that it activates the motor end limit
contact.
3) Screw the bracket onto the rack.
4) Manually move the gate to the closed position, then repeat steps 2 and
3 to fit the second bracket to the rack.
3.3.4. Connection to the power supply
1) Connect the live (L) to terminal 1 on the motor.
2) Connect the neutral (N) to terminal 2 of the motor.
3) Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
Attention
The earth wire must always be longer than the live and neutral
to ensure that it is the last to be disconnected if the connector is
pulled out.
The cable clamps supplied must be used.
For all low-voltage cables, ensure that they can withstand traction
of 100 N. Check that the conductors do not move when this traction
is applied.
The transformer is wired to terminals 3 and 4. Do not alter the
connections.
Switch on the power to the installation before commissioning.
3.3.5. Before quick commissioning
1) Ensure the rail is clean.
2) Manually move the gate to the intermediate position.
3.3.6. Re-engaging the motorisation
1) Turn the release handle to the le .
2) Move the gate manually until the drive mechanism re-locks.
3) Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the right.
