GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. Follow all instruc-
tions as improper installation may cause serious damage.
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. It is important for
you to comply with these instructions for your own and other
people's safety. Keep these instructions.
• Before commencing the installation, check the "Technical character-
istics" (in this manual), in particular whether this product is suitable
for automating your guided part. If it is not suitable, DO NOT contin-
ue with the installation.
• The product cannot be used before it has been commissioned as
specified in the chapter on "Testing and commissioning".
• ATTENTION! - According to the most recent European legisla-
tion, the implementation of an automation system must com-
ply with the harmonised standards provided by the Machinery
Directive in force, which enables declaration of the presumed
conformity of the automation. Taking this into account, all op-
erations regarding connection to the electricity grid, as well
as product testing, commissioning and maintenance, must be
performed exclusively by a qualified and skilled technician!
• Before proceeding with the installation of the product, check that all
the materials are in good working order and suited to the intended
applications.
• ATTENTION! - In order to avoid any danger from inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-off device, this appliance must
not be powered through an external switching device, such
as a timer, or connected to a supply that is regularly powered
or switched off by the circuit.
• Provide a disconnection device (not supplied) in the plant's power
supply grid, with a contact opening distance permitting complete dis-
connection under the conditions dictated by overvoltage category III.
• Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to avoid
crushing, denting or dropping it, or allowing contact with liquids of
any kind. Keep the product away from sources of heat and naked
flames. Failure to observe the above can damage the product, and
increase the risk of danger or malfunction. Should this happen, stop
installation immediately and contact Customer Service.
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage to property, items
or persons resulting from non-compliance with the assembly instruc-
tions. In such cases the warranty for material defects is excluded.
• The weighted sound pressure level of the emission A is lower than
70 dB(A).
• Before working on the system (maintenance, cleaning), always dis-
connect the product from the mains power supply.
• Check the system periodically, in particular all cables, springs and
supports to detect possible imbalances, signs of wear or damage.
Do not use, if repairs or adjustments are necessary, since installation
failure or an incorrectly balanced automation may cause injury.
• The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in compli-
ance with local regulations.
• When operating a biased-off switch, make sure that other persons
are kept away.
• When operating the gate, keep an eye on the automated mecha-
nism and keep all bystanders at a safe distance until the movement
has been completed.
• Do not operate the product if anyone is working nearby; disconnect
its power supply before permitting such work to be done.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer or by an appointed servicing company or similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent any form of risk.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• Prior to installing the drive motor, check that all mechanical compo-
nents are in good working order and properly balanced, and that the
automation moves correctly.
• If the gate or door being automated has a pedestrian gate, then the
system must include a control device that will inhibit the operation of
the motor when the pedestrian gate is open.
• Make sure that the control devices are kept far from moving parts
but nonetheless in a visible position. Unless a selector is used, the
control devices must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m and
must not be accessible.
• Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surround-
ing fixed parts due to the opening movement of the driven part is
avoided.
• Permanently fix the label concerning the manual release adjacent to
its actuating member.
• After installing the drive motor, make sure that the mechanism, pro-
tective system and all manual manoeuvres operate properly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
AND DESTINATION OF USE
MFAB(...) is a gearmotor designed for the automation of single-leaf or double-
leaf gates. WARNING! – Any applications other than those described
above or under different conditions from those specified in this manual
are forbidden.
MFAB(...) operates with electric power. In the event of a power failure, the
gearmotor can be released using suitable keys in order to move the leaves
manually.

INSTALLATION
3.1 - Preliminary Checks
Before proceeding with the installation, make sure that the structure is suitable
and that it complies with the regulations in force. In particular, you need to
make sure that: • there are no points of friction in the opening and closing travel
of the gate; • the gate is well balanced, i.e., once it is stopped in any position it
should not show a tendency to start moving again; • the gate opens and closes
smoothly and noiselessly; • the area selected for gearmotor installation enables
easy and safe manual manoeuvring; • check the integrity of the package; •
make sure that the mounting area is compatible with the dimensions of the
box (fig.1); • provide a closing strike and, if possible, also an opening strike.
WARNING! – Please keep in mind that MFAB(...) is designed to drive
an efficient, safe gate (with one or two leaves), and is not intended
to make up for defects resulting from improper installation or poor
maintenance.
3.2 - Operating Limits
The shape and height of the gate (e.g. blind) and the weather conditions (e.g.
strong winds) may significantly reduce the values shown in the Graph A.
Note – If any of the gate leaves is wider than 2.5 metres, we recommend the
installation of an electric lock (PLA10 or PLA11).
3.3 - Mounting
3.3.1 - Overall Dimensions and Positioning of Foundation Box
1. Excavate the foundation hole based on the overall dimensions; provide
good drainage in order to prevent water stagnation.
2. Fasten the accessory for the opening limit switch to the box, carefully ob-
serving the directions and measurements shown in the fig. 6 to avoid incor-
rect installation.
3. Place the box inside the foundation hole; the stud must be aligned with the
axis of the hinge (fig. 2).
4. Provide a duct for the electrical cables and a drainage pipe.
5. Bury the foundation box in concrete, making sure it is set level.
6. Mount the control bracket on the box's stud along with the ball.
7. Set the gate leaf on the release lever and weld them securely.
8. Grease using a suitable grease nozzle.
3.3.2 - Installation of MFAB(...) Gearmotor
1. Remove the nuts and washers shown in the fig. 3.
2. Place the gearmotor inside the foundation box making sure it faces the cor-
rect direction.
