STEP 2
2.1 – INTENDED USE
AVIO500 is a gearmotor designed for the automation of sectional
and overhead doors.
2.2 – OPERATING LIMITS
STEP 15 ("Technical specifications") provides the data needed
to determine whether the product is suitable for the intended
application.
Its structural characteristics make it suitable for use on sectional
doors within the limits shown in tables 1, 2 and 3.
The measurements in table 2 are to be taken as a guideline and
are for general estimate purposes only. The effective suitability of
ELEVO for automating a specific door depends on the degree of
door door balancing, guide friction and other aspects, including
occasional phenomena such as wind pressure or the presence of
ice, which could obstruct door movement.
To establish effective conditions, the force required to move the
door throughout its stroke must be measured to ensure that this
value does not exceed the "nominal torque" specified in section
9 ("Technical specifications"); also, to calculate the number of
cycles/hour and consecutive cycles, the data in tables 3 and
4.must be taken into account.

AVIO500 operates using electric power. In the event of a power
failure, the gearmotor can be released in order to move the door
manually.
The height of the door enables the maximum number of cycles
per hour and consecutive cycles to be calculated, while the
force required to move the door enables the percentage of cycle
reduction to be determined; for example, if the door height is
2.2 m, this would enable 12 cycles per hour and 6 consecutive
cycles, but if a force of 250 N is required, these would have to
be reduced to 70%, resulting therefore in 8 cycles per hour and
around 4 consecutive cycles.
To avoid overheating, the control unit has a limiter that is based
on the motor operation and duration of cycles, and trips when the
maximum limit is exceeded.

example, an H03VV-F type cable is recommended for indoor
applications.
