3 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS
Before installing this product, verify and check the following
steps:
- Check that the gate or door are suitable for automation
- The weight and size of the gate or door must be within the maxi-
mum permissible operating limits specified at paragraph 2.2
- Check the presence and strength of the security mechanical
stops of the gate or door
- Check that the mounting area of the product is not subject to
flooding
- Conditions of high acidity or salinity or proximity to heat sources
could cause malfunction of the product
- Extreme weather conditions (for example the presence of snow,
ice, high temperature range, high temperatures) may increase the
friction and therefore the force required for the handling and initial
starting point may be higher than under normal conditions.
4 - PRODUCT INSTALLATION
4.1 - Installation
ATTENTION !
working temperature range stated on the automation device
is suitable for the location where it is installed.
ATTENTION !
equipped with a pressure-sensitive edge protecting all possi-
ble crushing points (hands, feet, etc.) in accordance with the
requirements of the EN 13241-1 standard.
ATTENTION !
stop locks at the opening and closing, which prevent the gate
derailment.
4.2 - Fixing
Take the lid off (fig.4). Put the gearmotor on the plate. Insert the two
socket head screws (fig.4.1).
It is important to lock the two socket head screws forcefully, making
sure, that the gearmotor is firmly on the ground, during the whole
movement/operation of the gate.
4.3 - Rack assembling
Release the gearmotor as indicated by the fig.7 and open entirely
the gate. Put a rack element on the pinion gear and fasten it to the
gate with screw and spacing bars.
Move the gate manually bringing the pinion gear into line with the
last spacing bar.
Fasten the rack element for good.

The installer must verify that the
The automation system must be
The gate has to be equipped with
- Check that the manual operation of gate or door is smooth and
friction-free and there is no risk of derailment of the same
- Check that the gate or door are in equilibrium and stationary if
left in any position
- Check that the power line to supply the product is equipped with
proper grounding safety and protected by a magnetothermal and
differential security device
- Provide the power system with a disconnecting device with a
gap of contacts enabling full disconnection under the conditions
dictated by the overvoltage category III.
- Ensure that all materials used for the installation comply with
current regulations
Respecting the overall size, fix to ground the base-plate through
4 sturdy screw-anchors (fig.3) or drown it into the concrete (fig.3).
Plan for one or more sheathing for the passage of the power lines.
N.B. The exact dimensions of the rack must be known to allow
precise calculation of the counterplate position.

If the regulating allowed by the rack is not sufficient, it is possible to
counterbalance the gearmotor high working on the four screws
(fig.4.2).
The screws should be tightened again after the motor has been
operated a few times.
For a correct positioning of the other elements and to assure their
straightness, it is necessary to employ a rack element using it as
support and reference (fig.5.3).
It is besides necessary to assure an aperture of 2 mm between rack
and pinion gear, so that the gate weight doesn't rest on the
gearmotor pinion gear (fig.5.2).
