GENERAL SAFETY RULES
If installed and used correctly, the ERCOLE
automated system will ensure a high degree of safety.
Some simple rules regarding behaviour will avoid any accidental
trouble:
• Do not stand near the automated system and do not allow
children and other people or things to stand there, especially
while it is operating.
• Keep radiocontrols or any other pulse generator well away from
children to prevent the automated system from being activated
involuntarily.
• Do not allow children to play with the automated system.
• Do not willingly obstruct gate movement.
• Prevent any branches or shrubs from interfering with gate
movement.
• Keep light signalling systems efficient and clearly visible.
• Do not attempt to activate the gate by hand unless you have
released it.
• In the event of malfunctions, release the gate to allow access
and wait for qualified technical personnel to do the necessary
work.
• After enabling manual operation, switch off the power supply
to the system before restoring normal operation.
• Do not make any alterations to the components of the
automated system.
• Do not attempt any kind of repair of direct action whatsoever
and contact qualified personnel only.
• Call in qualified personnel at least every 6 months to check the
efficiency of the automated system, safety devices and earth
connection.
MANUAL OPERATION
If it is necessary to manually actuate the gate due to lack of
power or disruption of automation, you must act on the release
as follows.
LEVER UNLOCK
1) Insert the key supplied in the plastic fold and open it.
2)Pull the lever unlock.
3)Open or close the gate manually.
DESCRIPTION
The ERCOLE automated system is ideal for controlling
vehicle access areas of medium transit frequency.
The ERCOLE automated system for sliding gates
is an electro-mechanical operator transmitting motion to the
sliding gate with a rack pinion appropriately coupled to the
gate.
Operation of the sliding gate is controlled by an electronic
control unit housed inside the operator or in a hermetically
sealed outdoor enclosure.
When, with the gate closed, the unit receives an opening
command by radiocontrol or from another suitable device, it
activates the motor until the opening position is reached.
If automatic operation was set, the gate re-closes
automatically after the selected pause time has elapsed.
If the semi-automatic operation was set, a second pulse must
be sent to close the gate again.
An opening pulse during re-closing, always causes movement
to be reversed.
A stop pulse (if provided) always stops movement.
The light signalling indicates that the gate is currently moving.
For details on sliding gate behaviour in different function
logics, consult the installation technician.
The automated systems include obstacle-detection and/or
safety devices (photocells, edges) that prevent the gate from
closing when there is an obstacle in the area they protect.
The system ensures mechanical locking when the motor is not
operating and, therefore, it is not necessary to install any lock.
Manual opening is, therefore, only possible by using the
release system.
The gearmotor ERCOLE have a mechanical clutch, so it
doesn't need any electronic clutch.
A convenient manual release with customised key makes it
possible to move the gate in the event of a power failure or
malfunction.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To prevent an inadvertent boost could move the gate during
the maneuver, turn off the power supply , before locking again
the motor.
LEVER UNLOCK
1) Close the unlock lever.
2) Move the gate until the release system meshes.
3) Close the plastic fold and restore the power supply to the
system
