GENERAL SAFETY REGULATIONS

The C720 and C721 automated systems, if 

correctly installed and used, guarantee 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 and C721 automated systems are ideal for controlling 

vehicle access areas with average transit frequency.

The C720 and C721 automated systems for sliding gates are 

electromechanical operators that transmit the motion to the 

sliding leaf using a rack and pinion. 

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 prevent an involuntary pulse from operating 

the gate.

Proceed as follows to release the gearmotor:

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

. The 

release lever will move slightly away from the operator body 

(Fig. 1 re. 

)

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

re. 

.

3.  Carry out the opening or closing manoeuvre manually.

RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION

Proceed as follows to lock the gearmotor:

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

re. 

.

2.  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.
