GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
––– STEP 1 –––
1.1 - GENERAL WARNINGS
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. Follow all instruc-
tions as improper installation may cause serious damage.
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. It is important for
you to comply with these instructions for your own and other
people’s safety. Keep these instructions.
• While reading this manual, take care to observe all
instructions marked with the following symbol. This
symbol indicates subjects that may be the source of
potential hazards and therefore the prescribed operations must
be performed exclusively by qualified and skilled personnel , in
observance of these instructions and current safety standards.
• Before commencing the installation, check the “Technical characteris -
tics” (in this manual), in particular whether this product is suitable for au -
tomating your guided part. If it is not suitable, DO NOT continue with the
installation.
• The product cannot be used before it has been commissioned as speci -
fied in the chapter on “Testing and commissioning”.
• ATTENTION! - According to the most recent European legisla-
tion, the implementation of an automation system must com-
ply with the harmonised standards provided by the Machinery
Directive in force, which enables declaration of the presumed
conformity of the automation. Taking this into account, all op -
erations regarding connection to the electricity grid, as well as
product testing, commissioning and maintenance, must be per-
formed exclusively by a qualified and skilled technician!
• Before proceeding with the installation of the product, check that all the
materials are in good working order and suited to the intended applica -
tions.
• ATTENTION! - In order to avoid any danger from inadvertent re-
setting of the thermal cut-off device, this appliance must not be
powered through an external switching device, such as a timer,
or connected to a supply that is regularly powered or switched
off by the circuit.
• Provide a disconnection device (not supplied) in the plant’s power sup -
ply grid, with a contact opening distance permitting complete discon -
nection under the conditions dictated by overvoltage category III.
•
Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to avoid
crushing, denting or dropping it, or allowing 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 happen, stop installation im -
mediately and contact Customer Service.
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage to property, items or
persons resulting from non-compliance with the assembly instructions.
In such cases the warranty for material defects is excluded.
• The weighted sound pressure level of the emission A is lower than 70
dB(A).
• Before working on the system (maintenance, cleaning), always discon -
nect the product from the mains power supply.
• Check the system periodically, in particular all cables, springs and sup -
ports to detect possible imbalances, signs of wear or damage. Do not
use, if repairs or adjustments are necessary, since installation failure or
an incorrectly balanced automation may cause injury.
• The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in compli -
ance with local regulations.
• When operating a biased-off switch, make sure that other persons are
kept away.
• When operating the gate, keep an eye on the automated mechanism
and keep all bystanders at a safe distance until the movement has been
completed.
• Do not operate the product if anyone is working nearby; disconnect its
power supply before permitting such work to be done.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer
or by an appointed servicing company or similarly qualified person in or -
der to prevent any form of risk.
1.2 - INSTALLATION WARNINGS
• Prior to installing the drive motor, check that all mechanical components
are in good working order and properly balanced, and that the automa -
tion moves correctly.
• If the gate or door being automated has a pedestrian gate, then the sys -
tem must include a control device that will inhibit the operation of the
motor when the pedestrian gate is open.
• Make sure that the control devices are kept far from moving parts but
nonetheless in a visible position. Unless a selector is used, the control
devices must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m and must not be
accessible.
• Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surrounding
fixed parts due to the opening movement of the driven part is avoided.
• Permanently fix the label concerning the manual release adjacent to its
actuating member.
• After installing the drive motor, make sure that the mechanism, protec -
tive system and all manual manoeuvres operate properly.
KNOWLEDGE OF THE PRODUCT AND PREPARATION FOR INSTALLATION
ronment destined for installation.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a gate that
does not have an efficient and safe mechanical structure. Moreo-
ver, it cannot solve defects caused by incorrect installation or bad
maintenance of the gate itself.
2.3 - SUITABILITY OF THE GATE TO AUTOMATE AND THE
SURROUNDING ENVIRONMENT
• Check that the gate mechanical structure is suitable to be automated
and complies with the Standards in force on the territory (if necessary,
refer to the data given on the gate label).
• Move the gate leaf by hand to its maximum opening and closing posi-
tion; during movement make sure there is minimum friction and that
constant force is used throughout the travel: there must be no points
where the friction is greater than elsewhere .
• Move the gate leaf by hand and leave it still at various points along its
travel; then make sure that the gate leaf remains in balance, i.e. it does
not move.
• Check that the space around the gear motor allows to manually release
the gate panels easily and safely .
• Envision end run retainers on the ground both for opening and closure
of the gate .
• Check that the gear motor fixing area is compatible with the clearance
of the latter (
fig. 1
).
2.4 - LIMITS OF USE FOR THE PRODUCT
• The gate leaf on which the gearmotor is to be installed, must not weigh
more than 100 kg or exceed 1.80 m in length. These maximum values
NOTE TO MANUAL
This manual is designed as a step-by-step guide. Therefore, for
the safety and ease of assembly and programming work, we ad -
vice you to carry out all the operations described in the same or-
der in which they are presented.

2.1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT AND DESTINATION
OF USE
This product is intended to automate gates and doors with hinged leaves ,
exclusively for residential use.
ATTENTION! – Any use different to that described and in environ-
mental conditions different to those stated in this manual must be
considered improper and prohibited!
The product is an electromechanical gearmotor that is placed inside the
hollow structure of the gate leaf; the part that protrudes from the lower
part of the gate leaf must be fixed to the ground. It is supplied with a 24
V DC motor that is powered by the external control unit to which it must
be connected. In the event of a power outage (black-out), the gate can
be moved manually by releasing the gearmotor from the gate using the
key provided. For information on how to release the gate and move it
manually , see paragraph 3.3 .
2.2 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS ON INSTALLATION
Before performing installation, check the integrity of the product compo -
nents, the adequacy of the model chosen and the suitability of the envi -
