manoeuvres, during the hours following a loss of power (electrical black-
out). During the black-out, or at any other time, it is possible to move the
gate manually also, by first releasing the gearmotor using the appropriate
key (see chapter 11.3 - Usage guide).
2.2 - DEVICES REQUIRED TO CREATE A FULL SYSTEM
The fig. 1 shows all the devices required to create a full system, such as
that shown in fig. 3.
The devices shown in fig. 1 are:
A - 2 electromechanical WU200S gearmotors with foundation case and
attachment levers (*)
B - 3 release keys
C - 1 pair of PH100 photocells (made up of a TX and an RX)
D - 2 GTX4 radio transmitters
E - 1 FL100 flashing indicator with built-in antenna
F - 1 CL200S command control unit
G - Metal hardware
(*) the screws required to affix the attachment levers is not supplied, as they vary
according to material and thickness of the leaves.
Note:
- Some devices and accessories mentioned in this manual are option-
al and may not be present in the kit. For a complete overview, see the
Mhouse product catalogue or visit www.niceforyou.com.
- The end stops are not included in the kit and do not form part of the
Mhouse product range.

3.1 - CHECK SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMATED
AND OF THE ENVIRONMENT
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for auto-
mation and complies with local standards. To verify this, refer to the
technical data on the label of the gate. Important - This product cannot
automate a gate that is not already secure and efficient; moreover, it
cannot resolve defects caused by improper installation of the gate or
from its poor maintenance.
• Manually move the gate leaves in the two directions (open/closed) and
make sure that the movement takes place with a constant friction at
every point in its course (there should be no points that require more
effort nor less).
• If there is an access door in the gate, or within the range of movement
of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel and, if
necessary, provide an appropriate interlock system.
• Manually bring the door of the gate into any position; then, leave it
closed and make sure that it does not move.
• Ensure that the environment in which the gearmotor is to be installed
has sufficient space to be able to perform the manual manoeuvre of
releasing the gearmotor.
• Make sure that the surfaces selected for the installation of the devic-
es, are strong and can ensure a stable attachment; for the photocells,
choose a flat surface that can ensure a correct alignment of the pair (Tx
and Rx).
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
• Check the dimensional limits by referring to fig. 2.
• Provide end stops at ground level, either for opening or for closing of
the gate.
• Check that the fixing area of the gearmotor is compatible with its dimen-
sions (fig. 2).
3.2 - PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
Before proceeding with installation perform the following checks in the
suggested order and check their compliance with both the data in this
paragraph and the technical data in the chapter "Product technical speci-
fications":
1 - Check that the gate leaves have dimensions and weights which fall
within the following limits:
- maximum length 2.3 m
- maximum weight 400 kg
- opening angle of up to 180°
The shape of the gate and the climatic conditions (for example a strong
wind) can reduce these maximum values. In this case, it is necessary to
measure the torque required to move the leaves in the harshest condi-
tions, and compare it with the data reported in the technical specifica-
tions.

LUNGHEZZA MAX ANTA (m)
2 - Check the measurements of the total size of the gearmotor (fig. 2).
Note - These measurements also serve as a reference to calculate
the space that the foundation excavation will require for the passage
of the raceways for the electrical cables.
3 - Check that the estimated durability is compatible with the intended
use (see paragraph 3.3).
4 - Make sure you can comply with all the limitations, conditions and
warnings in this manual.
3.3 - PRODUCT DURABILITY
Durability is the average economic life span of the product. The value of
the life span is strongly influenced by the intensity of the manoeuvres, i.e.
the sum of all factors that contribute to product wear, see Table 1. To esti-
mate the life span of your automated device, proceed as follows:
01. Add up all the values of the entries in Table 1;
02. In Graph 1, from the value obtained above, trace a vertical line until
it intersects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it
intersects the line of the "manoeuvre cycles". The obtained value is
the estimated life span of your product.
The lifetime values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the mainte-
nance schedule is strictly observed (see step 10 - Maintenance schedule).
The estimation of durability is made on the basis of design calculations
and the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estima-
tion, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective life span
of the product.
