5. Installing procedure
5.1. Preliminary checks
To ensure safety and efficiently operating automated system,
make sure the following conditions are applied :
-The structure of the gate must be suitable for being
automated. Check if the gate is strong and rigid, and that its
dimensions and weight conform to those indicated in the
technical specifications.
-Make sure that the gate slides well, easy and without any
inclicnation
-Make sure that the gate slides uniformly and correctly,
without any irregular friction during its entire travel
-Check if the upper guide and travel limit mechanical stops
are installed
Remove any locks and lock bolts. We advise you to have any
metalwork carried out before the automated system is installed
5.2.Positioning the foundation plate
-Put the foundation plate to the floor, using adequate
expansion plugs
-Use a level, check if the foundation plate is perfectly
horizontal.
5.3.Positioning the operator
-Lay the electric cables for the connection of the accessories
and power supply.To make connections easier, allow the cables
to project by the required length for connection to the control
board etc.
-Position the operator on the plate, using the supplied screws.
-Adjust the distance of the operator from the gate so the gate
slides without problem
-Fix the operator tightening the screws as shown in Fig7.
5.4.Installing the rack
1)Place the three threaded spacer on the rack element,
positioning them at the top of the slot. In these way, the slot
play will enable any adjustment to be made ( Fig. 8 )
2)Manually take the leaf into its closing position
3)Lay the first piece of rack at appropriate level on the pinion
and weld the threaded spacer on the gate as shown in Fig 9A .
4)Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on
the pinion, and weld the second and third spacer. Fig 9B
3.The packing list
Please check the operator packing before installing the
automated system.

5)Make sure that between rack and the pinion there is always
approx. 1mm clearance ( see Fig. 10)
6)Bring another rack element near to the previous one, using
a piece of rack as shpwn in Fig.11 to synchronise the teeth of
the two racks.
7)Move the gate manually and weld the three threaded
spacers.
8)Proceed until the gate is fully covered.
5.5.Installing the limit switches
1)Take the leaf into its closing position, lay the limit-switch
on the rack
2)Mark the hole position on the rack. Drill holes and screw the
limit-switch on the rack with the supplied screws.
3)Pull the leaf into the opening position, repeat the operation.
4)Make sure that the gate leaves 1 - 3 cm, depending on gate
weight, between gate and mechanical stop. In these way the
operator stops without making noise and also if you want to
make manual release it is easier.
5.6.ATTENTION
-Make sure that during the gate travel, all the rack elements
mesh correctly with the pinion.
-Do not, on any occasion, weld the rack elements either to the
spacer or to each other.
-Manually check if the gate habitually reaches the travel limit
mechanical stops and lame sure that there is no friction during
gate travel.
-Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack and
pinion.
5.7.Manual operation
To operate the gate manually use the release as follows :
-Take the key and insert it to the lock.
-Turn the key clockwise 90o
-Pull and open the manual release.
-After opened the manual release, you can operate the door
manually.
-To reset the standard operation running, close the manual
release lever and operate the gate manually softly until
engagement. Then you can use you remote controls and
operate the automation.
6.0. MAINTENANCE
Carry out the follow jobs at least every 6 months.
-Check the efficiency of the release system
-Check the efficiency of the safety devices and accessories.
7.0. REPAIRS
For any repairs, contact only authorised repair centres and
technicians.
