INITIAL CONDITIONS AND CHECKS
Initial conditions of the gate
Check that the size and weight of the gate is
within the admissible range of the operator
(see the technical characteristics of the
operator).
If the gate to be automated has a passage gate,
use a safety device to prevent the operator
from operating with the passage gate open.
The gate must have an in-ground central stop. The
gate must also have an mechanical stop in opening
when the NBKIT-180 kit is installed (maximum
opening 180º).
The operator will replace the lower hinge of the
gate, for which reason this hinge should be
eliminated in the installation process.
Due to the dimensions of the operator base box, the
rotation axle of the gate shall remain at a minimum
distance from the pillar of 60 mm. It may be
Environmental conditions
This device is not suitable for installation in
inflammable or explosive environments.
Electrical power supply installation
The electrical connections shall be made in line
with the instructions in the control panel
manual.
Drainage
The operator will be located in a pit to be dug in the
ground. In consequence, in order to prevent the
accumulation of water, it is necessary to set out
necessary to move the upper hinge of the gate in
order to achieve this distance.
The gate must be easy to manipulate manually,
namely:
• This must be balanced, in order to ensure the effort
made by the motor is minimum.
• There should be no stiffness throughout its travel.
Do not install the operator in a gate which does
not work correctly in manual operation, as this
may lead to accidents. Repair the gate before
installing.
During the installation process, it will be necessary
to modify the hinges of the gate, for which reason
the correct manual operation of the gate should also
be checked during the installation process.
Check that the admissible environmental
temperature range for the operator is suitable
for the location.
