1 WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
• Before commencing wiring and connection work, read the SAFETY INDICATIONS AND WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS AND
INDICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION Chapters thoroughly.
• All wiring and connection operations must be carried out with the control unit disconnected from the electricity supply (and from
the buffer battery if present); if the disconnection device is not in view, display a sign reading “ATTENTION: MAINTENANCE WORK
IN PROGRESS”.
The cables used in the installation must be IEC 60335 compliant.
ATTENTION: the cables used must be suited to the type of installation. It is the
Fitter’s responsibility to choose appropriate material.
• All wires must be unsheathed as little as possible (6mm at the most)
and as close as possible to the connection terminals, in order to prevent accidental
contact with live parts in the event that cables disconnect from the terminals.
• Do not pre-seal cables that are to be fixed to the terminals with screws.
• If it is possible that wires subject to voltage higher than 50 Volt RMS and
very low voltage safety wires may come into contact with one another, wires with
voltage higher than 50 volt RMS must be insulated with a sheath; or the very low
voltage safety wire must have an insulating sheath at least 1mm thick
• All external connection cables must not be of the flat twin tinsel cord type
(flat twin tinsel cord).

1.4 List of electric cables
Depending on the installation, the type and quantity of devices installed, the cables required may vary. The table below shows the cables needed
for a typical installation.
1.2 Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with installation, the following preliminary checks must be performed on the gate and installation area:
1) The area in which the control unit is installed must not be prone to flooding: it is therefore forbidden to install it excessively close to the ground.
The optimal installation height is between 80 and 150 cm from the ground, the minimum 40cm.
2) The installation area should be as sheltered as possible from atmospheric agents and must allow the fitter good accessibility for installation
and subsequent work.
3) The surfaces on which the GEBOX is mounted (column, pillar, wall, etc.) must be smooth and vertical, and adequately solid and compact
to allow secure fastening.
1.3 GEBOX container installation
a) Remove the cover and hinge from the GEBOX and decide on the mounting position, verifying that:
• it is at least 40 cm from the ground;
• the outlet of the pipe housing the electric cables is just below the container.
b) Mark the centres of the four clamping screws and make holes for the screw anchors.
c) Place the screw anchors inside the holes, rest the container against the wall and fasten securely using suitable screws.
d) Carefully clean the inside of the container to remove any plaster dust or other residues.
e) Fit the hinge into the dedicated recess on the left or right side of the container.
f) Fit the cover onto the hinge then rotate to close it.
g) Lock the lid by tightening the two screws in the holes in the corners on the opposite side to the hinge.
h) Assemble the four screw cover inserts on the corners of the cover.
1.3.1 Control unit extraction
In order to facilitate control unit wiring or programming, it can be pulled out of its housing without requiring the use of tools.
a) Push the control unit upwards so that the clips (1 fig. 4) unhook and then pull outwards.
b) Compatibly with the length of the cables, rest on the edge of the container or hold in the hand.
Once the wiring and/or programming work is complete, place the control unit back in its recess by pressing lightly until the 4 clips snap in.
1.5 Preparing the electrics and mains connection
This manual does not describe how the electrics system should be prepared for connection to the mains. It does, however, give the following
warnings:
• The mains supply line must be installed and connected by a qualified electrician or a professional fitter.
• The electricity supply line must have adequate protection against short circuits and must be earthed.
• The power supply network must contain an omnipolar disconnection device with an opening distance of the contacts equal or greater than 3.5
mm that assures the complete disconnection of the power supply.
1.6 Introducing the electric wires into the GEBOX
a) Open the required pre-punched holes in the bottom of the container (remembering that it is compulsory to keep 230V wires separate from
those with very low voltages).
b) Position cable glands suited to maintaining the degree of protection of the container inside the holes.
c) Pass the wires needed for the connections through the cable glands, leaving an additional length of approximately 40 cm
d) Carefully close the cable glands and seal the ends of the tubes with silicon in order to prevent assess to insects and/or dirt.
1.7 Control unit connections
Fitters must make the connections of the 230 Vac 50 Hz electricity supply, the motors and the various automation devices. Connections between
the control unit and the transformer have already been performed by the Manufacturer.
• Once the connections to the control unit have been made, the Fitter must use bands to join adjacent wires into groups of 2, 3 or 4 in order to
prevent them coming away from the terminal board: bands must be attached as close as possible to the terminals, no more than 10mm away,
taking care not to damage wire insulation. No wire should remain unmatched.
• Bands should only be fitted to wires without sheathes (sheathed wires are kept in place by the sheath)
• Pay careful attention not to pair wires with voltages higher than 50 Volt RMD with lower voltage wires.
• Wiring performed internally by the Manufacturer has already been fitted with bands where necessary.
