Guide for the installer
the operator
Perform any necessary metalwork job before installing the
automated system.
The condition of the gate structure directly affects the reliability
and safety of the automated system.

3.3. Installation dimensions

Determine the fitting position of the operator with reference to
Fig.4. During this phase it is important to define if the mechanical
travel stops are to be used: by eliminating the mechanical travel
stops the operator travel increases thus changing the installation
dimensions A and B.
Check with care if the distance between the open leaf and any ob-
stacles (walls, fences etc.) is higher than the operator dimensions

eneRal Rules to deteRmine the installation dimensions
• to obtain 90° leaf openings : A+B=C
• to obtain leaf openings exceeding 90° : A+B<C
• Smaller A and B dimensions determine higher peripheral speed
of the leaf.
• Limit the difference between A and B dimension within 4 cm:
higher differences cause great speed variations during the gate
opening and closing movement.
• Keep a Z dimension in such a way that the operator does not
strike the pillar.
• in the LS versions the limit switches are triggered for the first and
the last 30 mm. Therefore use such A and B dimensions in order to
use the whole operator travel. Shorter travels could limit or cancel
the limit switch adjustment range.
• The mechanical travel stops operate for the first and the last 30
mm of the travel; shorter travels could limit or cancel the adju-
stment range.
If the pillar dimensions or the hinge position do not allow the installa-
tion of the operator, a niche on the pillar, as shown in Fig. 5, should
be created in order to maintain the A dimension as determined.
The niche should be dimensioned in such a way to enable easy in-
stallation, operator rotation and operation of the release device.

3.4. Installing the operators

1. Fix the rear bracket in the position determined before. In the
event of iron pillar carefully weld the bracket directly on the pil-
lar (Fig. 6). In the event of masonry pillar, use the suitable plate
(optional) for the fixing to screw (Fig. 7) by making use of suitable
fastening systems. Then carefully weld the bracket to the plate.
During the fastening operations, check if the bracket is per-
fectly horizontal by means of a level.
2. Assemble the rear fitting to the operator as shown in Fig. 8.
3. Check if the front fitting is in the correct position as shown in Fig.
9 (with closing mechanical travel stop) or in Fig. 10 (without clo-
sing mechanical travel stop). If this is not the case, temporarily
supply power to the operator to position the fitting.
The operator can be moved by hand only if it is installed on
the gate and in released position (see paragraph 5).
4. Assemble the front bracket as shown in Fig.11. A hexagonal
seat is located in the lower part of the fitting CH=5 (Fig. 11 ref.
a) to make the assembling operations easier.
Fix the operator to the rear bracket by means of the supplied
5.
pins as shown in Fig. 12.
Before securing the operator to the bracket you have just
welded, wait for it to cool.
6. Close the leaf and, keeping the operator in a perfect horizontal
position, determine the fastening point of the front bracket
(Fig. 13).

7. Temporarily fix the front bracket with two welding spots (Fig.
13).
If the gate structure does not allow a fix bracket fastening it
is necessary to create a sturdy supporting base in the gate
structure.
8. Release the operator (see paragraph 5) and manually check
if the gate can completely open without hindrances and stop
at the mechanical travel stops as well as if the leaf moves
regularly without any friction.
Carry out the necessary corrective measures and repeat from
9.
point 8.
10. Temporarily release the operator from the front bracket and
weld the bracket definitively.
Before securing the operator to the bracket you have just
welded, wait for it to cool.

3.5. Wiring the operator

90
A terminal board is fitted in the lower part of the operator for the
connection of the motor, of any limit switch and for the earthing
95
of the operator.
To connect the motor, the supplied cable must be used for
the mobile section, or a cable for mobile laying from the
outside.
Motor wiring operations:
1. Open one of the two pre-drilled holes in the supplied cover, Fig.
14; in case of operators with limit switches, open both holes.
2. Fit the supplied cable gland.
3. Connect the motor and the earthing with reference to Fig. 15
and the following tables.

To maintain approval for CSA-UL approved operators, position
the capacitor (secured in a stable manner) inside a CSA-UL
approved enclosure.
4. Close the cover with the four supplied screws, Fig. 16.

4.6. Mechanical travel stops

The 413 operators are equipped with opening and closing mecha-
nical travel stops. They can be used instead of the leaf mecha-
nical limit stops. To adjust the mechanical travel stops operate as
follows:
4.6.1. a
djusting the opening mechanical tRavel stop
1. Set the operator for manual operation, see paragraph 5
2. Manually move the leaf in opening position.
3. Loosen the fastening screw, Fig. 17 ref. a. Do not remove the
screw.
4. Move the stop near the fitting as shown in Fig.18.
The mechanical stop works coupled to a toothed sector, Fig.
17 ref. b. If there are any troubles during the movement,
make sure that the coupling is free. DO NOT FORCE.
5. Re-tighten the securing screw, checking correct coupling to
the toothed sector.
