Installation

3.2     MOUNTING TOOLS

To mount the operator, a number of preparatory on-site jobs need to be done on the structure that is to be moved; for this, it is better to be 
equipped with the correct tools, so that the installer is able to work independently.

Caution

The list of required tools is shown in the illustration and table (B5).

4. INSTALLING 

THE 

OPERATOR

4.0     POSITIONING THE MOUNTINGS

The following table (

C1

) indicates the recommended data for defi ning the position of the operator mountings in relation to the centre 

of rotation of the gate leaf. 
The distances 

A

 and 

B

 will give:

•    The useful stroke length (

C

) of the piston

•    The peripheral velocity of the gate leaf
•    The angle of maximum opening of the gate leaf
•   The holding capacity of the lock in relation to distance 

E

 (which must always be less than 

B

 when the operator is fitted with a 

hydraulic lock); the distance 

E

 is obtained, in practice, by measuring the distance between  front mounting fulcrum and gate 

hinge axis (see fi g. 

C1

).

Caution

•    The sum A+B corresponds to the useful stroke length of the piston (C) for a 90° opening of the gate leaf. 
•    The minimum value of distances A and B is 70 mm; the maximum one is indicated in column B of the table (see fi g. C1).
•    Distances A and B must be as equal as possible in order to have a uniform peripheral velocity.
•   If the gate leaf shall be opened by more than 90°, fi rst of all fi nd the best A and B measurements for mounting, then reduce 

distance B to the desired opening angle, making sure, by checking the distance Y, that the corner of the post does not 
interfere with the operator action.

Warning

!

•    The greater the distance B in relation to E, the more effi cient the holding capacity of the hydraulic lock (for all types of operator).
•    If the gate leaf is closed with an electric lock, then E must always be less than or equal to B (never greater).
