A= distance between the hinges of the gate
and the actuator’s post fixing pin. This distance
can be chosen by the user. We recommend to
use a measure similar to the “B” measure.
B= is te most relevant measure and
determinates gate opening speed and max.
opening angle. it’s determinated by the pillar
di fixing bracket.
Shorter B measure determinates faster opening
of your gate.
If you require major opening angle choose a
short B measure and longer A measure
V= gate hinges
K = post fixing bracket
H = front fixing bracket
Longer telescopic actuators, allow better
mechanical operation given by the greater
strength of the lever.
Carefully evaluate the size of the pillars in
relation to the tables that you will find in the
pages that present the limits of use and overall
dimensions of each actuator model. In some
cases it may be required masonry work to
install your opener

How this influences your gate opener system.
Determinate the ideal A & B measure
PULL TO OPEN OPERATION (gate that opens towards inside)
This means the gate operator is mounted on the inside of the property
and pulls your gate in towards the property to open.
OUTSIDE
INSIDE
PUSH TO OPEN OPERATION (opens towards outside)
If your driveway slopes up after the gate, preventing
it from swinging in. This means the gate operator is
mounted on the inside of the property and pushes your
gate out away from the property. Warning: only compatible
with telescopic tube actuators, Check the overall dimen-
sions before installation
.
Warning:remember to reverse the polarity of the motor
cables when connecting to the electronic board

In line with center hinge
A= this measure must allow the actuator to be parallel to the door open at
90 °.
B= This measure allows the actuator mounting. Compare it to the actuator
dimension
Longer telescopic actuators, allow better mechanical operation.Make sure
that the gate do not open onto a public passageway. It is advisable to prepare
a plant with safety photocells to be placed in such a way that the doors,
opening towards the outside do not create damages to things and people who
are on the outside of the property, such as parked vehicles.
Mechanical GATE STOPS (END STOPS):
T
he gate leaves must stop on the mechanical limits (end stops fixed to the ground) in the
gate open & closed position. Make sure your gate has end stops fixed on the ground. FC
version actuators are provided with on-board mechanical limits. this avoids to build end-
stops limit fixed on the floor.
Warning: FC telescopic actuators version are equipped with on-board me-
chanicla limit for open position only. EVE actuators and FC non telescopic
actuatora are equipped with on-board limits for both open & closed position
Warning: make sure that the actuator is always stops at the limit switch and
not use all of its travel
