INSTALLATION: COMPONENT ASSEMBLY AND CONNECTIONS
STEP 5
INSTALLING THE AUTOMATION COMPONENTS
WARNINGS
• Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to those
working on or using the system.
• Before starting automation assembly, make the preliminary checks
as described in STEP 3.
The following assembly phases illustrate the "physical" illustration of the
gearmotor.
01. After digging the pit for fixture of the gearmotor (see STEP 4.1.7),
secure the anchor bolts to the plate as follows (fig. 8):
a) Tighten a standard nut (NOT locknut) fully down on each anchor
bolt.
b) Insert the anchor bolts so that the threaded section protrudes by
30 mm from the side of the plate bearing the pinion image.

c) Then temporarily tighten a standard nut (NOT locknut) onto the
ends of the anchor bolts. Note – In the next steps, the two upper
nuts will be removed and replaced with two locknuts.
02. Cast concrete into the pit, filling it to the edge and ensuring that the
ducting tube for electric cables come out of the surface.
03. While the concrete is still liquid, carefully place the foundation plate
on top, immersing the anchor bolts in the mix: shake the plate to
ensure that all air escapes from underneath and no bubbles form.
Take care to observe the following warnings (fig. 9):
– the side of the plate bearing the image of the pinion must be facing
the gate (see fig. 4);
– the ducting tube for routing the electric cables must pass through
the relative hole in the plate;
– observe the distances specified in fig. 4 to correctly position the
plate with respect to the gate leaf and wall.
– ensure that the plate is parallel to the gate and perfectly level (use a
spirit level).

04. When the concrete is solid (after a few days), loosen and remove the
upper nuts of the plate, which are no longer required.
05. Remove the gearmotor cover using a screwdriver to loosen the 4 lat-
06. Fig. 11:
30 mm
07. Assemble and secure the rack:
eral screws (fig. 10). Note – Leave the gearmotor without the cover
until the installation and programming phases have been completed

a) Pass the electric cables through the relative holes and cable
clamps.
b) Gently place the gearmotor on the protruding section of the
anchor bolts so that they are inserted in the lateral holes of the gear-
motor. Lock the assembly with the serrated washer and locknut.
Note – Do not tighten the nuts fully down, as the gearmotor must
subsequently be moved forwards and backwards during rack
assembly.

To facilitate this operation, the rack assembly should be put together
separately, including brackets, to then be mounted onto the gate leaf.
Assemble the rack:
a) - establish the total length of the rack, which should be the same
length as the gate leaf. Then calculate the number of parts required
(sections of 50 cm) and if necessary cut one section to reach the
total required length.
b) - using a rubber mallet, join the two sections of the rack and insert
a fixing bracket in the joining point. Then secure the bracket by
means of a screw (fig. 12).
– To improve fixture of the rack to the gate leaf, fix a bracket also at
the centre of each section.
c) - assemble the other parts of the rack (fig. 13) proceeding as
described in point "b". Lastly, fit a fixing bracket on each end of the
rack: this must be positioned between the 6th and 8th tooth of the
rack, starting from the end.
Fixing the rack to the gate leaf:
d) - close the gate leaf completely.
