PRECAUTIONS WITH THE GATE BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
Before installing the operator, check the movement (opening / closing) of the gate,
according to the instructions below:
Step 1:
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, check if the mechanical
structure of the gate is suitable for automation, i.e., properly opening and closing.
Manually move the gate leaf in both directions (open/closed) and verify the requi-
red effort. Such effort must be minimal along its course (there should be no points
requiring more or less effort).
Step 2:
Manually close the gate and check if the required effort was the same from
the previous procedure.
The gate must have a resistant structure and, as far as possible, non-deformable.
The wheels diameter must be suitable to the gate size, must be in good working
order, and mounted in such a way that the gate has stability on its complete course.
The pictures below show the two most used track systems. On the system that uses
a V-track (Picture A - Corner bead), there are many point of friction and, therefore,
increased wear and tear, whereas the system that uses a round bar gate track (Pic-
ture B) allows the gate to move smoothly and causes less point of friction to the
operator.
Step 3:
Check if the gate leaf does not jam when opening or closing. The gate track
must be perfectly straight, level and periodically free of any obstruction or debris
which could impair the movement of the gate on its complete course, as shown on
the picture below.
INSTALLING AND MOUNTING THE OPERATOR
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, disconnect any unnecessary ca-
bles as well as any devices or systems from the mains power supply.
GATE OPERATOR SIZE
It is important to comply with these instructions to ensure a proper operation. In
order to mount the operator, do as follows:
Step 1:
Check if the ground is stable enough so that the operator can be screwed
so that it remains level. If the ground does not comply to this requirement, a con-
crete foundation must be provided, according to the instructions below:
205 mm
285 mm
