Unless a selector is used, the controls should be installed at least 1.5 m from
the ground and must not be accessible
•
If the opening movement is controlled by a fire-prevention system, make
sure that any windows larger than 200 mm are closed by the control ele-
ments
•
Prevent and avoid any form of trapping between the moving and fixed parts
during manoeuvres
•
Permanently affix the manual operation label next to the element enabling
the manoeuvre itself
•
After installing the drive motor, make sure that the mechanism, protective
system and all manual manoeuvres operate properly
DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
AND DESTINATION OF USE
2
This product is intended to automate gates and doors with hinged leaves, ex-
clusively for residential use.
ATTENTION! – Any use different to that described and in environmental
conditions different to those stated in this manual must be considered
improper and prohibited!
The product is an electromechanical device 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 re-
leasing the gearmotor from the gate using the key provided. For information on
how to release the gate and move it manually, see
paragraph 3.6
.
INSTALLATION
3
3.1 - Preliminary checks on installation
Before performing installation, check the integrity of the product components,
the adequacy of the model chosen and the suitability of the environment des-
tined for installation.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor cannot be used to power a gate that
does not have an efficient and safe mechanical structure. Moreover,
it cannot solve defects caused by incorrect installation or bad mainte-
nance of the gate itself.
3.2 - 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 position;
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
).
3.3 - Limits of use for the product
• The gate leaf on which the device is to be installed, must not weigh more
than 100 kg or exceed 1.80 m in length.
• The gearmotor must only be connected to the
MC824L
control unit.
• Since the gearmotor must be installed inside the gate leaf, the leaf upright (in
which the rotation fulcrum is located) must be a hollow profile with a housing
space equal to or greater than a diameter of 56 mm.
• It is imperative to install mechanical stops at the preset points for the opening
and closing limit switches (these accessories are not included).
3.4 - Set-up for installation
In
Fig. 2
there is an example of a complete installation, built with Nice compo-
nents. These parts are positioned according to a typical standard layout. Refer
to
Fig. 2
to establish the approximate location where each specified compo-
nent is to be installed, and to decide on the layout of the electrical connections
between the components.

GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
1
GENERAL WARNINGS
CAUTION - Important safety instructions. Observe all the instructions
as improper installation may cause serious damage
CAUTION - Important safety instructions. It is important to comply with
these instructions to ensure personal safety. Store these instructions
•
Before commencing the installation, check the “Product technical specifi-
cations”, in particular whether this product is suitable for automating your
guided part. Should it be unsuitable, DO NOT proceed with the installation
•
The product cannot be used before it has been commissioned as specified
in the “Testing and commissioning” chapter
CAUTION - According to the most recent European legislation, the
implementation of an automation system must comply with the har-
monised standards set forth in the Machinery Directive in force, which
allow for declaring the presumed conformity of the automation. On ac-
count of this, all operations regarding connection to the mains electric-
ity, as well as product testing, commissioning and maintenance, must
be performed exclusively by a qualified and skilled technician!
•
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, check that all materials are
in good working order and are suitable for the intended applications
•
The product is not intended for use by persons (including children) with re-
duced physical, sensory or mental capacities, nor by anyone lacking suf-
ficient experience or familiarity with the product
•
Children must not play with the appliance
•
Do not allow children to play with the control devices of the product. Keep
the remote controls out of reach of children
CAUTION
- In order to avoid any danger from inadvertent resetting of the ther-
mal 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 mains power
supply, with a contact opening distance that ensures complete disconnec-
tion under the conditions envisaged by Overvoltage Category III
•
Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to avoid crush-
ing, knocks, falls or contact with liquids of any kind. Keep the product away
from sources of heat and open flames. Failure to observe the above can
damage the product and increase the risk of danger or malfunctions. If this
should happen, stop installation immediately and contact the Customer Ser-
vice
•
The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage to property, items or per-
sons resulting from non-compliance with the assembly instructions. In such
cases the warranty does not cover material defects
•
The weighted sound pressure level of the emission A is lower than 70 dB(A)
•
Cleaning and maintenance to be carried out by the user must not be ef-
fected by unsupervised children
•
Before intervening 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 supports to
detect possible imbalances, signs of wear or damage. Do not use if repairs or
adjustments are necessary, because a failure with the installation or an incor-
rectly balanced automated system may lead to injury
•
The packaging materials of the product must be disposed of in compliance
with local regulations
•
Keep persons away from the gate when it is moved through the control ele-
ments
•
When performing a manoeuvre, 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 automation if anyone is working on it; disconnect the
power supply before permitting any work to be carried out
INSTALLATION WARNINGS
•
Prior to installing the drive motor, check that all mechanical components
are in good working order and properly balanced, and that the automation
moves correctly
•
If the gate being automated has a pedestrian door, the system must include
a control device inhibiting the operation of the motor when the pedestrian
door is open
•
Make sure that the controls are kept at a safe distance from moving parts,
while allowing a good view of these.
