•Use suitable rigid/flexible pipes for laying power cables.
•Always keep low voltage accessory cables separate from 230V~ power
cables. To avoid interference, use separate sheaths.
3. INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
3.1.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS

To ensure trouble-free operation, make sure that the gate
(whether existing or yet to be installed) has the following
specifications:
• max. length of each gate leaf: 1.8 metres
• strong and rigid leaf frame
• smooth gate movement, with no stiff points
• hinges in good condition
• mechanical travel limit stops
If any welding or brazing has to be done on the gate, do this
before installing the automation system. The good order of the
structure directly influences the reliability and safety of the
automation system.
3.2. INSTALLATION OF THE OPERATORS
1) Fix the rear bracket to the gate post according to the
instructions in Table A. Adjust the length of the bracket if
necessary.
Warning: Observe the specified dimensions to ensure
correct operator functioning.
In the case of iron gate posts, weld the bracket directly
onto the gate post.
In the case of brick/concrete gate posts, flush-mount a
wall plate (fig. 3), and weld the bracket to the plate.
2) Fix the operator to the rear bracket by means of the screws
supplied (fig. 3).
Caution: the operators supplied in the kit are left and right
hand versions.
For correct installation the operator must be positioned as
shown in fig. 3.
3) Release the operator (see paragraph 5).
4) Extend the rod to the end of its stroke (fig. 4).
5) Lock the operator (see paragraph 6).
6) Rotate the operator rod two full turns clockwise (fig. 4).
7) Fit the front bracket onto the rod as shown in fig. 5.
8) Close the gate leaf and, keeping the operator perfectly
horizontal, locate the leaf attachment position of the front
bracket (fig. 6).
9) Fix the front bracket temporarily to the leaf by two welds.
N.B.: If the gate frame does not allow for secure fixing of
the bracket, add a support plate.

10) Release the operator and ensure that the gate opens
smoothly with no stiff points and that it stops on the
mechanical travel stops.
11) Completely weld the front bracket to the leaf. To weld,
detach the operator temporarily from the bracket to
prevent any waste material from damaging it.
