INSTALLATION MANUAL
ENGLISH
The table has been worked out for a 20-mm thick medium-size gate. Always
check that there is no possible collision between the gate and the operator.
4.3) Off-standard installations.
Fig. 3 shows an installation with a recess when there is not sufficient space
between the leaf and perimeter wall.
When the leaf position does not provide for a value of “b” present in the table,
change the length of the bracket or make a recess in the gate-post (Fig. 5).
4.4) Anchoring the attachments to the gate-post.
Fix the bracket “P” (fig. 6) to the gate-post with a good welding.
In the same way, weld the “F” bracket to the gate (or fix it with 4 M8 screws),
making sure that the operator to be fitted is positioned parallel with the gate
movement plane, fig.7. The bracket “F” should be welded in the same way to the
gate taking care that the actuator can then be mounted perfectly horizontal
to the line of travel of the gate fig. 7.
•
If the gate-post is in brick, the plate “PF” must be set soundly into the post using
adequately sized cramps “Z” welded to the back of the plate (fig. 8).
• If the gate-port is in stone and the gate is small, the plate “PF” can be mounted
with four metal expansion plugs “T” (fig. 9). If a larger gate is being installed
it would be better to use a corner plate “PF” (fig. 10).
Fit the rear bracket pin as in Fig.6.
4.5) Anchoring the attachments to the gate leaf.
Fixing bracket “F” must be fixed at a distance of 700 mm from attachment P
in Fig.6.
IMPORTANT: the front bracket must be fitted with the bush collar protru-
ding UPWARDS (Fig.4 Ref.A).
4.6) Power supply cable (Fig.12)
The board power supply cable must be of the H 05 RN-F type or equivalent.
The equivalent cable must guarantee:
- permanent outside use
- rated voltage of 300/500 V
- maximum temperature on the cable surface of +50° C
- minimum temperature of -25° C
Moreover, it must have a minimum section of 3 x 1.5 mm
2
and, for the cable
to hold correctly, it must be provided with an external sheath of Ø = 7.1 to
9.6 mm. Insert the cable into O ring “K” (Fig.12), strip it by about 40 mm and
connect the cables to the terminal bar (see diagram S).
The wiring of the terminal board must be carried out as shown in Fig. 12-dia-
gram S:
M1= operation 1
M2= operation 2
= earthing
N = common
Position the cable sheath so that O ring “K” is inserted in its housing in the base
and, leaving the sheath protrude by about J=5 mm (as shown in Fig.12), close
the hatch and fix it by means of the 3 screws.
4.7) Operator fitting
Position the operator on the brackets and fix everything as indicated in Fig.
6 and 7.
In the case of gates moving over a slope (opening towards the inside with an
upward sloping driveway), the operator allows the gate to oscillate with respect
to the horizontal axis, for the maximum values indicated in fig.7.
5) GROUND GATE STOPS
For the controller to operate correctly the gate stop “FA” must be used both in
opening and closing, as shown in fig. 11.
6) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP (Fig.13)
Lay out the electrical installation (fig. 13) with reference in force for electrical
installation.
The mains power supply connections must be kept totally separate from the
service connections (photocells, electric edges, control devices etc.).
Connect the control and safety devices in compliance with the previously
mentioned electrical installation standards.
Fig.12 shows the number of connections and the cross section for power supply
cables having a length of approximately 100 metres; in case of longer cables,
calculate the cross section for the true automation load.
When the auxiliary connections exceed 50-metre lengths or go through criti-
cal disturbance areas, it is recommended to decouple the control and safety
devices by means of suitable relays.
The main automation components are (fig.12):
I Type-approved omnipolar circuit breaker with at least 3,5 mm contact
opening, provided with protection against overloads and short circuits,
suitable for cutting out automation from the mains. If not already instal-
led, place a type-approved differential switch with a 0.03A threshold in
the circuit just before the automation system.
Qr Control panel and incorporated receiver.
S Key selector
AL Blinker tuned in with antenna
M Controller
E Electric lock
Fte Pair of outside photocells (transmitters)
Fre Pair of outside photocells (receivers)
Fti Pair of inside photocells with column (transmitters)
Fri Pair of inside photocells with column (receivers)
T 1-2-4 channel transmitter
RG58 Antenna cable
Warning! For actuator wiring and accessory connection, refer to the relevant
instruction manuals. The control panels and accessories must be suitable for
use and conform to current standards.
Should the opening or closing direction be incorrect, it is possible to invert the
connections of operation 1 and operation 2 on the control board.
The first command after an interruption of the power supply should be an
opening manoeuvre.
7) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE
WARNING: Check that the impact force value measured at the
points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than that
specified in the EN 12453 standard.
The pushing force is calibrated by means of the torque regulator in the control
unit. The optimum torque must allow a complete opening or closing cycle with
the minimum force necessary. An excessive torque can reduce the anti-crush
safety. In the other case, an insufficient torque can impede the manoeuvres.
Consult the control unit’s instruction manual.
8) ADJUSTMENT OF THE LIMITING DEVICES
The correct adjustment of the limiting devices is obtained by setting the
working time on the control board correctly. Refer to the instructions of the
control board.
9) MANUAL OPENING
All controllers feature a key release mechanism. After lifting the lock cover
(fig.14), insert the release key supplied and turn it clockwise by 90°.
Push the leaf manually to open the gate. To reset the motorised operation,
turn the key in the opposite direction and refit the cover.
10) ELECTRIC LOCK (Fig.17)
WARNING: In the case of leaves over 3m long, it is indispensable to
install an electric lock.
11) CHECKING THE AUTOMATION
Before considering the automation completely operational, the following
checks must be made with great care:
• Check that all the components are firmly anchored.
• Control all the safeties work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic skirt, etc.).
• Check the emergency manoeuvre control.
• Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.
• Check the control unit’s electronic logic in normal (or customised) opera
-
tion.
12) USE OF THE AUTOMATION
Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start
button, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist.
Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation.
13) THE CONTROLS
With the automation the gate has a power driven opening and closing. The
controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled, limited
access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation cha-
racteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult the specific
instruction booklets.
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and controls.
