INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF THE GEARED MOTORS FIBO 300 - FIBO 400 ON SLIDING GATES.
FOR A PERFECT APPLICATION AND IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE A RELIABLE PERFORMANCE OF FIBO 300 - FIBO 400 IT IS RECOMMENDED
THAT THE FOLLOWING STEPS BE CARRIED OUT AND DRAWINGS BE KEPT TO.
FIBO 300 and FIBO 400 are electromechanical operators designed to open and close heavy industrial sliding gates, up to 2.500 kg
(Fibo 300 -1,5 HP) max. and 4.000 kg (Fibo 400 - 3,0 HP) max. gate weights respectively; the motor comes enclosed in a metallic
casing (protection cover) and access to it is by a customized key. The worm and crown gear coupling is made of steel and bronze,
suitable to withstand high stress conditions and heavy duty applications where significant loads are involved.
They are controlled by an electronic unit Elpro 37 HP with power contactors, to which complementary accessories can be connected
such as remote controls, photocells, mechanical safety edges, flashers and other safety devices.
The whole lot of them represents a perfect safety system in support to the installation.
The manual override, disengaging the motor from the gate and allowing manual operations, is by an hexagonal box spanner
whose action is directly on the motor shaft, that is located inside the protection cover.
GATE INSPECTION
Make sure that the gate sliding track be firmly set into the ground foundation to prevent it from moving or setting at a later stage,
which might eventually lead into the gate going off the rail during its opening/closing travels.
NOTE WELL:
• make sure that proper gate stops be fixed to ground in open and closed gate positions, to prevent the gate
from overrunning the upper track;
• make sure the gate be fitted with a safety system to prevent it from falling over;
• prevent the gate from crashing into the gate posts or gate stops.
MAIN COMPONENTS TO AUTOMATE A HEAVY SLIDING GATE
The gate must be fitted with upper and lower rails for it to safely slide along them and be prevented from falling over independetly
from its travel position. In addition to this and as extra safety, provide one or two gate stops to be fixed to the ground both in
opening and closing positions to prevent the gate from overrunning the rails.
Close to the gate, in the position as indicated in Pic. 1, provide an accessible pit for the electrical junctions of the safety and command
accessories, whose cables are to be laid underground through suitable conduits to be set up as indicated in Pic. 13.
