Product description
This product is to be used to automate hinged gates or doors, for
both residential and industrial use.
WARNING!
Any other use other than that described and in environmental
conditions other than those listed in this manual is to be considered
improper and prohibited!
The product is an electromechanical gear motor, equipped with a
24 V direct current motor powered by the internal control unit and a
gearbox with an articulated arm.
In the event of a power failure (black-out), it is possible to move the
leaves of the gate by hand by manually unlocking the gear motor.

Installation
Warning!
- The installation of
MODUS
must be carried out by
qualified personnel, in compliance with current regulations, standards
and laws, and following these instructions.
3.1 -
Preliminary checks
Before installation, always check that there are no broken product
components, that the model selected is appropriate for the intended
use and that the installation environment is suitable for the product.
IMPORTANT
– The gear motor cannot automate a manual gate
that does not have an efficient and safe mechanical structure.
It cannot correct defects due to bad installation or poor maintenance
of the gate.
3.2 -
Suitability of the gate and
installation environment
• Check that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for the
installation of an automation system and in compliance with current
local regulations (if necessary, check the data found on the label of
the gate).
• Manually close and open the gate leaf, to make sure that there is
an appropriate level of constant friction during the whole opening or
closing movement (no points requiring increased effort).
• Check that when moved to any position between fully open and
fully closed, the gate leaf keeps its balance, without movements.
• Make sure that around the gear motor there is enough room to
easily and safely release the gate leaves by hands.
• Make sure that the product is installed on a solid surface, so that it
can be securely fastened.
• Make sure that the installation position is compatible with the
overall size of the product.

The correct opening movement of the gate and the force that the
motor exerts to execute it, depend on the position in which the motor
and arm brackets are fixed. Therefore, before proceeding with the
installation you must check
charts 1 and 2
and
figure 3
to define
the maximum opening angle of the leaf, the limits of the leaf and the
position of the fixing brackets.
