 If you do not wish to use the mechanical stops on opening 

and closing, the operator stroke becomes 15.25 inches.

b

 With leaves of over 90.5 inches, an electric lock must be 

installed to ensure locking of the leaf.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

3. INSTALLATION

 When

 laying electrical cables, use conduits with 

adequate rigidity and/or flexibility.

 

  To avoid any type of interference, we advise you 

to always separate low-voltage accessories and 
command connection wiring from power supply cables, 

use separate sheaths.

3.2 

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability 

and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct 
operation, the structure of the existing gate, or that to be 

fitted, must have the following characteristics:
• 

The length of leaf must conform to what is shown in the 
technical characteristics of the operator (Section 2).

• 

The structure of the leaves must be sturdy and rigid, 
suitable for an automated system.

• 

There must be regular and uniform movement of the 
leaves, with no friction or sticking along their entire 
movement.

• 

Hinges must be suitably sturdy and in good condition.

• 

Mechanical opening and closing stop-points must be  
present on the ground (not necessary if mechanical 
operator stops are used).

  It is recommended that any metalwork operations 

should be performed prior to installing the automated 

system.
