Check that the area where the gearmotor will be fitted is not exposed to flooding. If so, install the gearmotor in a
position raised from the ground;
if the gate is not a new installation, check the state of wear of all the components, repair or replace the defective or
worn parts and perform any other operations necessary.
The reliability and safety of the automated device is directly dependent on the condition of the gate structure.
Use mechanical limits to handle leaf travel excess situations.
1 – Put the fixing brackets and remove the gearmotor's cover unscrewing the lateral screws;
2 – Put the gearmotor on the foundation plate matching the threaded holes with the slots;
3 – Keep the gearmotor 2/4 mm up and lower it after finishing fixing the rack;
4 – Screw the 4 screws and fix the gearmotor parallel to the gate;
1- Manually move the gate to the closed position;
2- unlock the gearmotor (see paragraph Unlocking Device);
3- arrange the rack (optional);
4- place the first element of the rack on the pinion in such a way that it protrudes 50 mm from the gearmotor
[13]
creating the space required for the limit switch bracket;
5- secure the element in the slot with a screw or spacer depending on the type of rack chosen [10 - 11 - 12] . It is
advisable to tighten the rack retaining screws at the top of the slot so that the gate can be raised and the necessary
clearance between the rack and pinion maintained should the gate lower;
6-continue fitting the rack, aligning the modules one after another; to properly secure the modules, use a piece of
rack of about 150 mm to allow for tooth timing [14] . Once the last module has been secured, cut off the protruding
part with a saw.
7- when all the modules have been fitted, manually carry out various gate opening and closing manoeuvres to check
that it slides smoothly without friction;
8- lower the operator and lock the gearmotor leaving a clearance of 2 mm between the pinion and the rack [15] to
ensure that the weight of the gate does not negatively affect the gearmotor shaft.
1- Make the hole for the foundation plate respecting the dimensions [2] and arrange the plate according to the closing
direction of the gate [4] . The hole depth must be at least equal to the length of the cramp-irons [5] .
2- Fit the flexible hoses through which the electric cables will run so that they lead out of the plate [4] and protrude
from the hole by about 30-40 mm [5] .
3- Make sure that the plate is level [5] and start filling the hole with concrete.
4- Wait for the concrete to dry.
5- Run the electric cables (for connection of the accessories and electrical power supply) through the flexible hoses.
To make it easier to make the electrical connections to the control unit, it is advisable to keep a cable length of 400
mm from the foundation plate hole
[5] .
