Installation Dimensions
Select the assembly position of the operator on the gate,
referring to Figure 4 and the relative table. Choose whether
or not to use the built in mechanical positive stops; eliminat-
ing the mechanical stops increases the working stroke of the
operator and values
A
and
B
must be changed.

Preliminary Checks
The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability
and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct
operation, the structure of the gate must have the following
characteristics:
• The length of leaf must conform to what is shown in the
technical specifications.
• The structure of the leaves must be sturdy and rigid, suitable
for an automated system.
• There must be regular and uniform movement of the leaves,
with no friction or sticking along their entire movement.
• Hinges must be solid and in good condition.
• Gate must swing level.
The installer is responsible for providing the main power bre-
aker switch, and for making sure that the entire gate system
meets all applicable local electrical codes.
Make sure to locate all controls that operate the gate system
at least 6 ft away from any moving parts.
