European Directives: 89/336/CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and
subsequent amendments.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on
the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
• Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply,
having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3mm.
• Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just before
the power supply mains.
• Check that earthing is carried out correctly: connect all metal parts for
closure (doors, gates etc.) and all system components provided with an
earth terminal.
• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are needed
to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing, conveying
and shearing, according to and in compliance with the applicable
directives and technical standards.
• Position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where it
can be easily seen, and fix a Warning sign to the structure.
• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation
safety and correct operation when other manufacturers' components are
used.
• Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
• Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorised
by the company.
• Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the
manual opening operation in case of emergency.
• Do not allow persons or children to remain in the automation operation
area.
• Keep radio control or other control devices out of children's reach, in
order to avoid unintentional automation activation.
• The user must avoid any attempt to carry out work or repair on the
automation system, and always request the assistance of qualified
personnel.
• Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions,
is not allowed.
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Low-voltage operator (24Vdc) suitable for residential use. Designed for
swing gates having small-sized pillars. The operating arm, with its special
antishearing shape, allows the leaves to be manoeuvred even when the
operator is positioned well away from their fulcrum. The irreversible
electromechanical gearmotor keeps the gate locked in the closing and
opening positions.
The release lever, fitted to the outside of each operator, allows the manual

manoeuvre to be carried out very easily.
WARNING! The installation, the maintenance and the repair should be
done by responsible and qualified persons with an updated knowledge of
the current safety standards. It's strictly forbidden to service the automation
when the power is on.
ATTENTION! The VIRGO model controller is not equipped with mechanical
torque adjustment. It is compulsory to use a control panel of the same
manufacturer, in compliance with the basic safety requirements of directives
73/23/CEE, 89/336/CEE, 98/37/CEE equipped with appropriate electric
adjusment of the torque.

4) OPERATOR INSTALLATION

4.1) Preliminary checks

Check that:
• The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy and rigid.
The fixing position must be worked out according to the leaf structure. In
any case, the manoeuvring arm must push against a reinforced leaf
point (fig. 2).
• The leaves can be moved manually along their entire stroke.
If the gate has not been installed recently, check the wear condition of all
its components. Repair or replace defective and worn parts.
Operator reliability and safety are directly affected by the condition of
the gate structure.
