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 5;
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 chapter 9 - Maintenance sched-
ule. The estimation of durability is made on the basis of design calcula-
tions and the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an
estimation, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective life
span of the product.

GRAPH 1
Severity index %
Example of durability calculation: automation of a gate with a door 1.8m
long with a weight of 100 kg, installed in a windy area. Table 1 shows
the "severity index" for this type of installation: 25% ("Door length"), 10%
("Door weight") and 15% ("Installation in windy area").
These indicators must be added together to obtain the overall severity
150s
index, which is in this case 50%. With the value identified (50%), look at
99
the vertical axis of Graph 1 ("severity index"), and identify the value cor-
79
responding to the number of "manoeuvre cycles" our product will be able
to perform in its life span, about 72,000 cycles.

4.1 - WORKS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
4.1.1 - Establish the position of the devices in the system
With reference to fig. 5, locate the approximate position for installation
of each device envisaged in the system. The figure shows a system built
with this product plus other optional accessories from the Mhouse line.
70s
The various elements are positioned according to a standard and usual
97
layout. The devices used are:
77
[a] - 1 FL100W flashing indicator
[b] - 1 pair of PH100W photocells (made up of a TX transmitter and an
57
RX receiver)
37
[c] - 1 KS100 Key-operated selector switch (not supplied)
17
[d] - 2 electromechanical WS100WCK (with built in command control
unit) and W100SK gearmotors.
7
[e] - Column pair for PT50W photocells (not supplied)
[f] - 2 end stops
WARNING! - Some of these devices are optional and may not be
present in this package (see the Mhouse product catalogue).
WARNINGS:
The gearmotors must be affixed to the column/wall, laterally to the
respective gate leaves.
Fixed type control devices must be positioned:
- in view of the automation;
- in a safe position with regard to moving parts;
- at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the floor/ground;
- not accessible to strangers.
4.1.2 - Establish the position of all the connecting cables
Refer to the instructions in section 4.2 to determine the pattern with which
to dig the routes for the cable ducts for the electrical cables.
4.1.3 - Obtain the tools and materials required for the work
Before beginning work, make sure you have all the tools and materials
required to carry out the work. Make sure that these are in good condition
and comply with local safety regulations.
4.1.4 - Carry out the preparatory works
Prepare the environment for the subsequent installation of the devices,
carrying out preliminary work such as, for example:
- excavation of routes for the cable ducting for the electrical cables (alter-
natively, external raceways may be used);
- installation of the cable ducting and their attachment in the concrete;
- sizing of all electrical cables to the desired length (see section 4.2) and
their passage in the ducting. Caution! - At this stage do not imple-
ment any type of electrical connection.
Warnings:
• Ducting and raceways are used to protect the electrical cables from
damage due to accidental impacts.
• When laying the ducting, also take into account that due to possible
deposits of water in the routing ducts, the ducting might create con-
densation in the control unit, with consequent damage to the electronic
circuits.
• Place the ends of the ducting in the vicinity of the points provided for
affixing the devices.
