•
The dimensions of the gate must not exceed the dimensions given in the parameters of the drive;
•
You should check the drive can be installed, taking into account the dimensions of the installation;
•
The drive mechanism requires sufficient space between the ceiling and the door for mounting the running
rail. It should also be checked whether the part of the drive protruding beyond the load-bearing structure
of the gate has sufficient space.
•
The structure of the gate must be sufficiently strong and rigid for
the assembly of the automated system;
•
The gate must move smoothly and freely throughout the entire
range of motion without any resistance;
•
After opening the gate to half its height, the gate must remain in
this position, free movement up or down should be corrected by
appropriate adjustment of the gate itself;
•
Check that the electrical installation allows the connection of the
drive. If this is not the case, qualified personnel must provide a
230VAC power socket at a distance of about 0.5m from the drive
head.
Notes on the gate and its surroundings:
•
The area of the gate is an approximate parameter. However, the
maximum permissible door size should not be exceeded. The actual
force transmitted by the drive is influenced by: gate type, gate
weight, air movement around the gate;
•
Low temperatures and high humidity may make it difficult or
impossible to start the automation;
•
The drives are not designed for continuous operation, the maximum
operating frequency specified in the drive parameters must be
maintained;
•
The gate must operate smoothly and impact-free, the movement
must be smooth and unobstructed;
•
The drive cannot be used to operate emergency exits or gates on an
escape route (see escape routes);
•
If there is a pedestrian door on the powered door, a safety switch
shall be installed to prevent the automatic system from operating
when the door is open;
•
The condition of the door structure has a direct impact on the
reliability and safety of use of the entire system;
•
It is recommended to complete the assembly of the steel structure
before installing the drive;
•
Specify what materials are needed to install the kit and provide them
before starting the assembly. This applies to anchors, bolts,
brackets, cables, electrical fittings, tools.
2.2. Preparation of the gate
The type of gate determines the position in which the drive will be installed. The gate hardware should
be attached to the main frame or to the gate panel through a suitable holder.The place of installation is specified
in the door assembly manual. If there are no instructions, install the handle as close as possible to the edge of the
mainframe or the last door panel. When the bracket is not sufficiently stable, it must be strengthened. When we
have a wooden gate, the gate hardware should be screwed "through". In this case, it is advisable to use the board
from the outside so that the fastening cannot loosen over time. Delicate aluminum, wooden gates, must be
further strengthened.
2.3. Stops and locks
Any cables or loops used to open and close the gate manually and any locking mechanisms on the
gate should be removed, unless they are automatically activated by the drive!
