GENERAL SAFETY RULES

If correctly installed, automated system C720 guarantees 

a high level of safety.

Obeying some simple rules can also prevent accidental 

problems:

Do not allow children or adults to stay near the 

automated system, particularly avoid it while it is 

operating.
Keep radiocontrols or other pulse generators away 

from children, to prevent the automated system 

from being activated involuntarily.
Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
Do not forcibly restrain the gate's movement.
Prevent branches or shrubs from interfering with gate movement.
Keep the illuminated signalling systems efficient and very visible.
Do not attempt to operate the gate by hand until it has been 

released.
In the event of malfunction, release the gate to allow access and 

wait for qualified technical personnel to repair it.
Once manual operating mode has been set, turn off the power 

supply to the system before restoring normal operation.
Do not in any way modify the components of the automated 

system.
The user must not attempt any kind of repair or direct action whatever 

and contact qualified personnel only.
Ensure the efficiency of the automated device, the safety devices 

and the earth connection are checked at least every six months by 

qualified personnel.

DESCRIPTION

The C720 automated system is ideal for controlling vehicular access areas 

with medium transit frequency.

The C720 automated system for sliding gates is an electro-mechanical 

operator transmitting motion to the sliding leaf via a rack or chain pinion 

appropriately coupled to the gate.

The operation of the sliding gate is managed by an electronic control 

device housed inside the operator or in a watertight outdoor container.

When the device receives an opening command via a radiocontrol or 

any other suitable device with the gate closed, it operates the motor until 

the gate reaches its open position.

If automatic operation has been selected, the gate re-closes by itself 

after the selected pause time.

If semi-automatic operating mode has been selected, a second pulse 

must be sent to re-close the gate.

An opening pulse issued during the re-closing stage always causes a 

reversal of motion.

A stop pulse (if applicable) always stops motion.

The warning light indicates the current gate movement.

For the detailed behaviour of the sliding gate during the various operating 

modes, consult the installing technician. 

The automated systems contain obstacle detection and/or safety devices 

(photocells, edges) that prevent the gate closing when an obstacle is 

located in the scanned area.

The system ensures the gate is mechanically locked when the motor is 

not operating and  no lock therefore needs to be installed.

Manual opening is therefore only possible if the appropriate release 

system is operated.
The gearmotor is equipped with a device with electronic anti-crushing 





system that offers the necessary safety if the gate should strike an obstacle 
during its motion by causing it to reverse direction immediately.
A handy manual release makes it possible to move the gate in the event 
of a power cut (if no back-up batteries are installed) or malfunction.

MANUAL OPERATION

  During the release/lock manoeuvre, take care to pre-

vent an involuntary pulse from operating the gate.

Proceed as follows to release the gearmotor:

Turn the release clockwise as shown  in Fig. 1 re. 

. The release lever 

will move slightly away from the operator body (Fig. 1 re. 

)

Fully lower the release lever to the mechanical stop Fig. 1 re. 

.

Carry out the opening or closing manoeuvre manually.

RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

Proceed as follows to lock the gearmotor:

Fully raise the release lever to the mechanical stop, Fig. 2 re. 

.

Turn the release anticlockwise as shown  in Fig. 2 re. 

.

  To maintain the operator intact, avoid pulsing the gate 

to operate before resetting the release system.

MAINTENANCE

It is advisable to check  the efficiency of the system at least every 6 

months, particularly the efficiency of the safety devices (including the 

motor thrust force, which must comply with current standards) and of 

the release devices.
