1) Product description
MOBY is an electromechanical gear motor for automating the
movement of single or double leaf residential gates.
A NICE control unit should be used to ensure the gear motor works
correctly.
The release device allows the gate to be opened manually.
2) Installation
2.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with installation, check that the structure is
suitable, that is, make sure it complies with current standards; make
especially sure that:
• the gate does not stick when opening or closing;
• the gate is well balanced, that is, if it stops in any position it remains
motionless;
• the gate moves silently and smoothly;
• the area identified for fitting the gear motor ensures the gate can be
moved easily and safely;
• the packaging is undamaged, please see fig.1;
• the assembly area is compatible with the size of the gear motor
(fig.2), bearing in mind that the opening of the gate and the motor
thrust applied depend on where the rear bracket is fixed. Before
proceeding with installation, therefore, please read paragraph 2.3
"Assembly", to make sure the gate has a sufficient opening angle
and thrust to satisfy customer requirements.
2.2) Limits of use
The shape, the height of the gate (e.g.: blind) and the weather
conditions (e.g.: strong winds) can considerably reduce the values
shown in the graph to the side.
The 24Vdc models are not suitable for use in windy areas
