device (on opening the slow-down is steady).
TPAUSA Sets the dwell time from 2s to 120s.
10) CONCENTRICITY SETTING UP
For correct operation, proceed to setting up the cylinder concentricity in order that,
during the opening and closing manoeuvres, movement occurs smoothly, regularly
and without oscillation. To set up the cylinder, proceed as follows:
Use a no.4 Allen key to unscrew and remove dowels A (fig. 5).
Insert a no.3 flathead screwdriver (DIN 0,8x5) and turn it one way or the other
until obtaining concentricity (fig. 5).
During this phase concentricity can be checked visually, making sure that the
distance between the cylinder and external flange is as uniform as possible.
Then proceed to a practical check, carrying out a few manoeuvres during which
the cylinder movement can be checked.
Screw the 4 dowels in tight.
WARNING! Concentricity is very important for the correct operation and
life of the actuator; it is to be first calibrated during the installation phase,
checked after 6 months and then every year.
Operation with marked eccentricity could lead to deterioration of the rod
seals.
11) DISASSEMBLY
Should it be necessary to gain access to the bollard internal components or motor,
refer to fig. 6 and proceed as follows:
1 Disconnect the electrical supply before carrying out any operation on the
system. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
2 Use a no.6 Allen key to unscrew and remove 4 external screws A, and a no.4
Allen key to remove dowels B.
3 Remove external flange C.
4 Use special wrench D (supplied) to unscrew and remove central block E.
5 Use a no.13 socket spanner to unscrew and remove underlying nut F and
respective washers.
6 At this point, use a small screwdriver as a lever on the junction between
cylinder and cap to remove the upper part of cylinder G.
7 If the model is supplied with signal indication lights, these must be discon-
nected. Then unscrew piston pin H, and subsequently the Faston connec-
tions.
8 Take out cylinder I, using a cable or a hook passing through the upper cylinder
holes.
Do not place your hands in the upper holes to take out or put back the
cylinder
(the presence of centre pin L could cause injuries). Withdraw the
signal light connection cable from the cylinder.
9 Withdraw 4 adjustment pins M from supports N, and then withdraw supports
N from adjustment bracket O.
10 It is now possible to take out the entire motor unit and proceed to any inspec-
tions or repairs needed.
12) ASSEMBLY
1 Check that adjustment brackets O are completely screwed onto lower bracket
P, in order that it might be easier to set up concentricity after assembly is
completed.
2 Reposition the motor unit on the bottom of the cylinder, making sure that the
cable is not squashed under the lower plate. For this purpose, we advise you
to tie a wire to the cable to keep it raised during motor positioning; later you
can proceed to arrange the exceeding cable under upper flange Q, so that it
does not interfere with the rod stroke. Also check the alignment of adjustment
pins M with reference to the holes in the cylinder, in order for positioning of
flange C to take place without any problems.
3 Proceed to repositioning 4 supports N on the adjustment brackets, as well as
adjustment pins M.
4 Insert cylinder I, using a cable or a hook passing through the upper cylinder
holes. Do not place your hands in the upper holes to take out or put back
the cylinder (the presence of central pin L could cause injuries). In the case of
bollards supplied with signal lights, provide for the power supply cable to pass
through (this operation can be made easier by tying a wire to the connection
pin). Mechanical end-of-stroke R is fitted to the bottom of the cylinder; during
re-assembly, the position of the end-of-stroke referred to sensor S must be
respected. In the case of bollards provided with alarm sensors, pay attention
to the position of magnet T fitted to the flange, which must coincide with the
position of sensor U fixed to the cylinder.
5 Reconnect the light supply Faston connections and retighten piston pin H.
The signal indication lights are not polarised, therefore the position of the
contacts is irrelevant.
6 Reposition the upper part of cylinder G and fix nut F by means of a no.13
socket spanner.
7 Use special wrench D to screw central block E.
8 Use a no.6 Allen key to tighten 4 external screws A, and a no.4 Allen key to
tighten dowels B.
WARNING! After each disassembly and assembly operation, proceed to
checking concentricity.
13) MANUAL MANOEUVRE
When the power supply is disconnected, the bollard tends to lower spontane-
ously, therefore carrying out an opening manoeuvre; a simple pressure carried
out on the top cylinder surface will complete lowering, and vehicle transit will
be allowed. See fig. 8.
To prevent the cylinder from lowering when the mains power is off, a buffer
battery system is required. In this case, the installer must fit a battery cut-out
switch, in order to allow manual manoeuvre to be carried out when the mains
power is off.
The installer undertakes to instruct the user on correct automation use, highlight-
ing the operations to be carried out in case of emergency.
14) MALFUNCTIONS. CAUSES AND REMEDIES
• If the bollard does not move smoothly, proceed to setting up concentricity
(see paragraph 9).
• If the rod does not move up, check that the mains power supply is on, any
buffer batteries supplied are efficient, and the fuses are in good condition;
also check the motor connections to the control panel.
• If the rod does not move down, it is probable that an Open command is
constantly given from the control panel or other external device. Therefore
temporarily disconnect all the external devices in order to identify the cause
of the problem. If the rod still remains raised, proceed to disconnecting
the power supply and then checking the control panel. Anyway, when the
power supply is off, the rod should spontaneously tend to lower; if this does
not happen, proceed to disassembly (paragraph 10) in order to identify any
mechanical problems preventing the lowering manoeuvre.
15) DISMANTLING
When the automation device is disassembled to be reassembled on another site,
proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the power supply and the entire electrical installation
• Remove the bollard, taking care not to damage the sheath which is to protect
the electric cables during the digging operations.
• Disassemble the control panel and all the installation components.
• In the case where some of the components cannot be removed or are dam -
aged, they must be replaced.
16) MAINTENANCE AND SCRAPPING
System maintenance is to be regularly carried out by qualified personnel. The
materials making up the appliance and its packing are to be scrapped according
to current standards. Batteries must be disposed of in the appropriate manner.
WARNING
Correct operation of the controller is only guaranteed when the data specified
in this manual are respected, as well as good technical practice standards.
The Company cannot be held responsible for any damage caused by failure

directives specified in the present manual.
The descriptions and illustrations contained in the present manual are not
binding. The Company reserves the right to make any alterations deemed
appropriate for the technical, manufacturing and commercial improvement
of the product at any time, while leaving the essential product features
unchanged.
