For cable installation, use adequate rigid and/or fl exible tubes.
Always separate the low-voltage accessories connection cables
from the power supply cables. To avoid possible interference, use
separate sheathing.
Provide the power supply line with an omnipolar switch featuring
a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3 mm. We
recommend using a 6 A magnetothermic switch with omnipolar
switching.
Always install a differential switch with a 0.03 A threshold upstream
from the system.
When preparing the power supply line, always follow national
system regulations and use a double-insulation cable.
Securely connect the power supply cable and the accessories
connection cables in the board terminals area.
3. INSTALLING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
3.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure automated system safety as well as its correct operation, before
proceeding with installation, check that the following conditions are met:
• When in motion, the bar must not encounter obstacles or
fl
ying power
cables.
• The characteristics of the terrain must guarantee suf
fi
cient solidity of
the foundation plinth.
• No tubes or electrical cables should be present in the plinth digging area.
• If the barrier body is exposed to vehicle transit, provide for adequate
protection against accidental impact, when possible.
• Ensure that there is an ef
fi
cient earth plate for connecting the upright
pro
fi
le.
3.2. WALLING THE FOUNDATION PLATE
1.
Assemble the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 5.
2.
Set the foundation plinth as shown in Fig. 6.
The plinth dimensions must be suitable for the terrain type and
model installed.
3.
Wall the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 6 and provide for one or
more sheaths for cable running.
4.
Use a level to ensure that the plate is perfectly horizontal.
5.
Wait for the cement to set.
3.3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
1.
Remove the 4 upper nuts from the foundation plate.
2.
Position the upright on the foundation plate, see Fig. 7, and secure it.
3.
Prepare the operator for manual operation, as described in paragraph 4.
3.3.1. R
IGHT
OR
LEFT
INSTALLATION
Depending on installation needs, the automated system can be installed
on the right or left:
Left-hand installation :
Left-hand installation is when, with the barrier
closed, the bar is on the
right side
of the upright,
looking at the automated system from inside the
property (door side).
Right-hand installation :
Right-hand installation is when, with the barrier
closed, the bar is on the
left side
of the upright,
looking at the automated system from inside the
property (door side).
The automated system is supplied ready for left-hand closing,
fi g. 8 ref. “A”. If the bar closing direction is the desired one,
go directly to 3.3.2. “Installing the bar”.
To change the automated system from left to right (Fig. 8 ref. “B”) proceed
as follows:
1.
Remove the adjustment tie-rod,
