5. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
- The door structure must be suitable for being automated. In
particular make sure that the door dimensions correspond to
those indicated in the technical specifications and that the
door is sturdy enough.
- Check if the door complies with EN12604 and EN12605
standards.
- During movement, the door must not invade public areas
destined to pedestrian or vehicle transit.
- Check the efficiency of bearings and couplings of the door.
- Make sure that the door has no friction; if any, clean and
lubricate the guides with silicone-based products, avoiding
the use of grease and, in any case, in compliance with the
instructions of the manufacturer.
- Check the correct balance and if the mechanical opening
stops are present.
- Remove the mechanical closures of the door so that it is the
automated system that blocks it when closed.
- Check if a space of at least 35 mm is available between the
ceiling and the highest sliding point of the door (Fig. 5).
- Check if the upper guide roller of the sectional door is in the
horizontal part of the guide when the door is closed (fig. 6).
6. ASSEMBLY
6.1. Sliding guide
If a two-piece sliding guide is used, you need to assemble
it observing the instructions below. If you have an already
assembled guide, go to paragraph 6.2.
1) Assemble both pieces of the sliding guide inserting them
into the central joint (Fig. 7 rif. A) until the metal references
reach the stop point (Fig. 7 rif. B). To facilitate the coupling
of the sliding guide, we recommend you to insert it in the
central joint pressing it as shown in Fig. 7 ref. C. Do not use
tools which could deform the guide or the joint.
2) Slide the transmission unit (Fig. 8 ref. A) along the whole
sliding guide until it is close to the front terminal, i.e. the one
opposed to the drive coupling unit.
3) Assemble the front fitting (Fig. 8 ref. B) to the transmission
unit (Fig. 8 ref. A).
4) Slightly tension the chain by tightening the nut (Fig. 8 ref.
C).
5) Lay the sliding unit on its side (Fig. 9). Push the carriage to
the drive coupling unit (Fig. 9 ref. C).
6) Adjust the tensioner (fig. 9 ref. A) so that the central area of
the loop, formed by the upper section of the chain, almost
matches the center line of the sliding guide (Fig. 9 ref. B)
Attention: excessive tensioning can damage the transmission
and drive coupling units.
6.2. Rear fitting
Before fixing the sliding guide to the ceiling, assemble the rear
fitting in the relevant seat on the drive coupling unit and tighten
the screws as shown in Fig. 10 ref. .
6.3. External release (optional)
If the installation of an external release system is foreseen, you
must lay the small cable before starting with the installation:
1) Release the carriage (see par. 7.4. point 3) and take it to the
slot on the upper part of the sliding guide.
2) Fit the terminal of the small cable into its relevant red seat
(Fig. 11).
3) Move back the carriage toward the drive coupling unit until
the through hole on the carriage matches the slot and route
the cable without sheath (Fig. 12).
4) Draw out completely the cable from the lower part of the
carriage.
5) Wind the cable to prevent it from being of hindrance during
the installation of the sliding guide.
7. INSTALLATION
- In order to work in safety conditions, we recommend
you to install the operator keeping the door completely
closed.
- Use all anchoring points provided.
- The securing systems must be suitable for the type of
support and must be sturdy enough.
- Suitably protect face and hands during drilling.
- Read this chapter thoroughly before starting with the
installation.
7.1. Sliding guide
After having completed the preliminary assembly operations,
you can proceed with the installation of the sliding guide
operating as follows:
1) On the lintel mark a line corresponding to the vertical center
line of the door (Fig. 13).
2) On the lintel mark a horizontal line corresponding to the max.
height reached by the door during movement (see Fig. 5).
3) Place the fixing bracket of the front fitting leaving the bottom
edge at least 5 mm over the intersection point of the lines
and centered with respect to the vertical line (Fig. 13). Please
refer also to paragraph 7.2. for the correct position of the
bracket with respect to the fitting point of the door.
4) Mark both fixing points.
5) Drill and mount using the screws (ref. Fig. 13) that are NOT
standard supplied.
6) Place the sliding guide on the ground, perpendicular to the
door.
7) Lift the guide from the front fitting and assemble this fitting
with the fixing bracket using the through screw and the
clamp (Fig. 14).
8) Lift the sliding guide until the rear fitting is at the same level
of the front fitting or until reaching the same inclination of
the door horizontal rail. In the event of a direct fixing to the
ceiling, go to point 12.
9) Measure the distance between ceiling and the distance
between centers of the nuts securing the rear fitting.
10) Fold the supplied brackets to the detected measure
(measure starting from the middle of the first bracket slot).
11) Mount the brackets on the rear fitting and position the sliding
guide again (Fig. 15).
12) Mark the fixing points on ceiling of the rear fitting and drill
(taking care to protect the sliding guide). Complete the
installation of the guide.
13) If a two-piece guide with central union (Fig. 16 ref. A) or the
central support for a single rail (Fig. 16 ref. B - optional) are
used, secure to the ceiling using the suitable brackets and
observing the steps 9,10 and 12 (Fig. 16).
