commands sent by the user via a transmitter. It can memorise up to 256
GTX4 transmitters (if memorised in “Mode I”) and up to 6 pairs of PH100
photocells.
Connection of the control unit with the various devices is by means of
a single 2-wire cable (“ECSbus” system). The control unit can also be
mains-powered (230 V) or alternatively by the Mhouse PF photovoltaic
system.
If powered from the mains, it can house a buffer battery (model PR1,
optional accessory) which ensures that the automation can perform a
number of manoeuvres for several hours in the event of a power failure.
During the power failure, or at any other time, the gate leaf can be moved
manually if required, by first releasing the gearmotor using the related key
(see chapter 11.3 - User’s Guide).
2.2 - COMPONENTS USED TO SET UP A COMPLETE
SYSTEM
Fig. 2 illustrates all components used to set up a complete system, such
as that shown in fig. 1 . The components are:
A - 2 electromechanical gearmotors WS1SK with fixing brackets
B - 2 fixing plates
C - 3 release keys
D - 1 pair of PH100 photocells (one TX and one RX)
E - 2 protection caps
F - 2 GTX4 radio transmitters
G - 1 FL100 flashing light with integrated aerial
H - Fixing
brackets and curved anti-shear arms: the screws required
for fixing the slotted arms are not supplied, as they depend on the
material and thickness of the leaf.
I - 2 limit switch stops (they are not supplied in the pack and are not
part of the Mhouse product range).
L - Metal hardware
Note - Some devices and accessories specified in the manual are optional
and may not be present in the kit. For a complete description, refer to the
Mhouse product catalogue or visit the website www.mhouse.com.

3.1 - CHECKING SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMAT-
ED AND RELATED ENVIRONMENT
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current
national standards and that it is suitable for automation. For this check,
refer to the information specified on the gate dataplate.
Important -
This product cannot be used to automate a gate that is not already
efficient and safe; furthermore it cannot solve defects caused by incor-
rect gate installation or poor maintenance.
• Manually move the gate in both directions (opening/closing) and ensure
that friction is constant throughout travel (there must be no points of
increased or decreased force).
• If the leaf is fitted in a pedestrian pass door or a door onto the leaf
movement area, ensure that this door does not obstruct normal travel,
and install a suitable interlock device if necessary.
• Manually move the gate to any position; leave it stationary and ensure
that it does not move when left.
• Ensure that the space around the site of gearmotor installation enables
safe and easy manual gate release.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture; as regards photocells, select a
flat surface that guarantees correct alignment between photocells (Tx
and Rx).
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
3.2 - PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMIT
Before proceeding with installation, perform the following checks in the
specified sequence and ensure conformity both with the data in this par-
agraph and the technical data provided in the chapter “Technical Speci-
fications”.
1 - Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the gate are within the fol-
lowing limits of use:
- maximum length 2.2 m
- maximum weight 200 kg
- opening angle 110°
On the basis of the leaf opening angle ( fig. 6 ), that it is possible to
observe the values specified in the graph in fig. 4 ;
On the basis of value B and the leaf opening angle in the table, value
A can be calculated. E.g.: if B is equal to 100 mm and an opening of
100° is required, A must be approximately 180 mm.
2 - Check the overall dimensions of the gearmotor ( fig. 3 ). Note – These
measurements also serve as a reference to calculate the space
occupied by the foundation pit for routing the electrical cable duct-
ing.
3 - Ensure that the estimated lifetime is compatible with the intended
use (see paragraph 3.3).
4 - Ensure that all limits, conditions and warnings in this manual can be
observed.
3.3 - PRODUCT DURABILITY
The lifetime is the average economic duration of the product. The value
of lifetime is strongly influenced by the intensity of the manoeuvre: i.e. the
sum of all factors that contribute to product wear, see Table 1. To esti-
mate the durability of your automation, proceed as follows:
01. Add up all the values in the items of Table 1 ;
02. In Graph 1 from the value obtained above, trace vertical line until
it intersects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it
intersects the line of the “manoeuvre cycles”. The value obtained is
the estimated lifetime of your product.
The lifetime values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the main-
tenance schedule is strictly observed (see chapter 9 - Maintenance
schedule). The estimation of lifetime is made on the basis of design cal-
culations and the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an
estimation, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective
lifetime of the product.
Example of durability calculation: automation of a gate with a leaf length
of 1.8 m with weight of 120 kg, for example, in a location subject to
strong winds: Table 1 shows the “severity index” for this type of installa-
tion: 25 % (“Leaf length”), 10% (“Leaf weight”) and 15% (“Installation in
windy zone”).
These indicators must be added together to obtain the overall severity
index, which is in this case 50%. With the value identified (50%), look at
the horizontal axis of Graph 1 (“severity index”), and identify the value cor-
responding to the number of “manoeuvre cycles” our product will be able
to perform in its lifespan, about 55,000 cycles.
