3. PREINSTALLATION CHECKS
3.1. Gate
The gate must be in good condition: ensure that its structure is suitable for
automatic control and that it conforms to the relevant standards.
The gate must remain horizontal throughout its travel, and must open and
close manually with ease.
3.2. Pillars
The pillars are out of plumb so require the use of an intermediate plate.
Furthermore, when one of the motor clamp mounting holes is not resting
on anything or is close to the angle of the pillar or wall, it is essential to
use the intermediate plate (ref. 2400485).
3.3. Reinforcements
If the gate has no reinforcements, fit some metal reinforcement plates
(e.g.: 15 x 15 cm and 4 cm thick) to secure the brackets to the gate leaves.
3.4. Field of application
This product is intended for the motorisation of a hinged gate for an indi-
vidual home.
1 < L ≤ 2m
H ≤ 2m
P ≤ 200kg
4. PREPARING AND DRILLING OF PILLARS
For the indicated values, the gate leaves and their hinge pins are taken to
be on the same axis.
If the hinge pins are offset, the maximum opening angle values will be
reduced.

3)
Trace axis
AM
on the pillar copying dimension
B
onto the pillar.
4)
Check that dimension D is greater than or equal to 435 mm.
There must be no obstacles to impede the movement of the arm in
this area.
5)
Check that dimension L is between 1000 mm and 2000 mm.
If L < 1250, the installation of a set of photoelectric cells is essential.

6)
Trace a horizontal axis
AH
in the middle of the reinforcement, perpen-
dicular to the rotational axis of the gate.
If the gate has no reinforcements, place the motors approximately
1/3 of the way up the gate leaves from the bottom.
Extend this line on the pillar until it intersects with
AM
.
7)
Place the template where the 2 lines intersect and drill.
