3)
Release the operator (see paragraph 6).
4)
Extend the rod to the end of its stroke (fig. 4).
5)
Lock the operator (see paragraph 7).
6)
Rotate the operator stem half/one turn clockwise (fig. 4).
3. INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
3.1.
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure trouble-free operation, make sure that the gate (whether
existing or to be installed) has the following specifications:
•
max. length of each gate leaf: 3 metres (with operator with
300 mm stroke);
•
maximum length of each gate leaf: 4 metres (with operator
with 400 mm stroke);
•
strong and rigid leaf frame
•
smooth movement of leaves during entire travel; no stiff points
•
hinges in good condition
•
mechanical travel limit stops present
•
electric lock present in reversible version.
If any welding or brazing has to be done on the gate, this must
be done before installing the automation system.
Good condition of the structure is essential for reliability and
safety of the automation system.
3.2.
INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATORS
1)
Fix the rear bracket to the gate post according to the
instructions in
Table A
. Adjust the length of the bracket if
necessary.
Warning
: Observe the specified dimensions to ensure correct
operator operation.
In the case of iron gate posts, weld the bracket directly onto
the gate post.
In the case of brick/concrete gate posts, flush-mount a wall
plate (fig. 3), and weld the bracket to the plate.
2)
Fix the operator to the rear bracket by means of the screws
supplied (fig. 3).
Caution
: the operators supplied in the kit are right and left
hand versions.
For correct installation the operator must be positioned as
shown in fig. 3.
The right hand operator is the one mounted on the right leaf
as viewed from inside; the left hand operator is the one
mounted on the left leaf, again as viewed from inside.
7)
Fit the front bracket onto the rod as shown in fig. 5.
8)
Close the gate leaf and, keeping the operator perfectly
horizontal, locate the leaf attachment position on the front
bracket (fig. 6).
Fig. 5
9)
Fix the front bracket temporarily to the leaf by two welds.
N.B.:
If the gate frame does not allow for secure fixing of the
bracket, add a support plate.
10) Release the operator and ensure that the gate opens
smoothly with no stiff points and that it stops on the mechanical
travel stops.
11) Completely weld the front bracket to the leaf. When doing
this, detach the operator temporarily from the bracket to
prevent damage from welding scale.
N.B
.:
1) Grease all pivots on brackets
2) If welding is not possible, the front and rear bracket plates
can be fixed using screws and screw anchors.
