Mounting The Motor; Connection To The Power Supply - SOMFY ELIXO 500 3S io Manuel D'installation

Mounting the motor

[1]. Position the motor on the lag screws, insert it and push it 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:
• that the setting nuts all come into contact with the base of the motor,
• the motor is level,
• the gate runs correctly,
• the clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary significantly over the gate's
travel.
[5]. Fit a washer and nut onto each lag screw in order to fit the motor.
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.

Connection to the power supply

Connect the live (L) to terminal 1 on the motor.
Connect the neutral (N) to terminal 2 of the motor.
Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
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 transformer is wired to terminals 3 and 4. Do not alter the connections.
Switch on the power to the installation before commissioning.
before quick commissioning
[1]. Ensure the rail is clean.
[2]. Manually move the gate to the intermediate position.
re-engage the motorisation
[1]. Turn the release handle to the left.
[2]. Move the gate manually until the drive mechanism re-locks.
[3]. Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the right.
