rective 2006/42/EC. (Machinery Directive) and in particular
standards EN 12445; EN 12453; EN 12635 and EN 13241-1,
which enable declaration of presumed conformity of the
automation. Given the above, all product installation, con-
nection, programming and maintenance work must be done
exclusively by a skilled and qualified technician, in obser -
vance of local laws, standards, regulations and the instruc-
tions in this manual.
1.2 - Installation warnings
• Before commencing the installation, check that this product is suit-
able for controlling your gate (see Chapters 3 and 9). If it is not suit-
able, DO NOT proceed with the installation.
• All product installation and maintenance must be done with the
automated mechanism disconnected from the power mains.
Before starting work, put a sign on the disconnection device that
says “CAUTION! MAINTENANCE IN PROGRESS” to the discon-
nection equipment.
• Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to
avoid crushing, denting or dropping it, or contact with liquids of
any kind. Keep the product away from sources of heat and naked
flames. Failure to observe the above can damage the product,
and increase the risk of danger or malfunction. Should this occur,
suspend installation work immediately and contact the King gates
Support Service.
• Do not modify any part of the product. Operations other than as
specified can only cause malfunctions. The manufacturer declines
all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to the
product.
• If the gate or door being automated has a pedestrian gate, then the
system must include a control device that will inhibit the operation
of the motor when the pedestrian gate is open.
• Check that there are no points where people could become
trapped or crushed against fixed parts when the gate is fully open;
if there are, provide protection for these parts.
• The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in com-
pliance with local regulations.
1.3 - Warnings about use
• This product is not intended to be used by persons (including
children) whose physical, sensory or mental capacities are redu-
ced, or who lack the necessary experience or skill, unless suitable
instructions on how to use the product have been imparted by a
person responsible for their safety.
• Do not allow children to play with the automation.
• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remo -
te control devices out of their reach as well.
• When operating the gate, keep an eye on the automated mechani-
sm and keep all bystanders at a safe distance until the movement
has been completed.
• Do not operate the automation if anyone is working nearby (cle-
aning, etc.); disconnect its power supply before permitting such
work to be done.
• Check the automation frequently for imbalance, wear and damage.
Do not operate the system if it needs repair or adjustment; have it
serviced exclusively by qualified and specialised technicians.
2. Product description
This product is intended to be used to automate swing gates. CAU-
TION! – Any use other than the intended use, and any use in
conditions other than those described in this manual, is im-
proper and forbidden!
The product is an electromechanical gearmotor, available in the ver-
sions:
LINEAR500230 / LINEAR50024 / LINEAR400230 / LINEAR40024.
It is equipped with a 24V DC motor or 220V AC motor (depending on
the version) and a worm screw reduction unit.
The gearmotor is powered off the external control unit to which it is
connected.
In case of power outage, the gate can be operated manually by di-
sengaging the gearmotor (par. 3.4).
3. Installation
3.1 - Pre-installation checks
Caution! - The motor must be installed by qualified personnel
in compliance with current legislation, standards and regula-
tions, and the directions provided in this manual.
Before proceeding with the installation:
01. Check that the area to which the gearmotor is to be mounted is
large enough ( fig. 2 ).
02.
Check the gate’s opening movement and the force exerted by
the motor: these depend on the position of the rear bracket. To set
the maximum opening position of the gate wing, refer to fig. 3 .
03. Establish the rough installation position for each component of
the system and the most appropriate connection layout.
