PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION WORK
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product
components, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the
intended installation environment.
IMPORTANT
– The gearmotor cannot be used to power a manual
gate that does not have a fully efficient and safe mechanical struc-
ture. Neither can it solve defects caused by poor installation or insuf-
ficient maintenance of the door itself.
3.1
– CHECKING SUITABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT
AND THE GATE TO BE AUTOMATED
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current
national standards and that it is suitable for automation.
(If present, refer
to the information specified on the gate dataplate)
.
• Move the gate leaf manually to
open
and
close
, checking that move-
ment has the same degree of friction throughout all points of travel
(no
increase in friction must occur)
.
• Manually move the leafs to any position and leave stationary, ensuring
that they do not move from this position.
• Ensure that the space around the gearmotor enables safe and easy
manual gate release. (see chapter “
Manually releasing or locking the
gearmotor
” in the “Operation manual”).
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and pro-
tected against the risk of accidental impact.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for fixing the photocells are flat and
enable correct alignment between photocells.
3.2
– CHECKING PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
To ascertain suitability of the product with respect to the specific features
of the gate and area to be automated, the following checks should be per-
formed as well as a check for compliance of the technical data in this
paragraph and the chapter “
Product technical specifications
”.
IMPORTANT – For the checks below, refer also to
fig. 3
and
4
:
–
Fig. 3
: indicates the overall dimensions of the gearmotor.
–
Fig. 4
: indicates values
A
and
B
, i.e. the minimum and maximum meas-
urements to observe when locating the position for the foundation plate.
Note
–
These measurements also serve as a reference to calculate the
space occupied by the foundation pit for routing the electrical cable ducting.
• Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the gate are within the follow-
ing limits of use.
-
maximum length 5 m
(
*
);
-
maximum weight 300 kg
.

Note
– The e rack supplied with this product is suitable for automation
of a gate with leafs of a maximum length of 4 m. If necessary, this may be
extended to a maximum length of 5 m using rack mod. MR1 (2 sections of
50 cm).
• Ensure that the dimensions of the selected area for mounting the gear-
motor is compatible with the overall dimensions.
• On the gate leaf, ensure that the surface for mounting the rack is suit-
able and solid.
CAUTION!
– If the results of these checks do not conform to
specifications, this model cannot be used for automation of
your gate.
