Use suitable tubes and/or hoses to lay electric cables
To avoid any kind of interference always separate low-
voltage accessories and control cables from 230 V~ power
supply cables using separate sheaths.

3.2. PRELIMINARY CHECKS

To ensure a correct operation of the automated system, make sure
the following requirements are observed as for the gate structure
(existing or to be created):
• the mechanical parts must conform to the provisions of Standards
EN 12604 and EN 12605.
• leaf length in compliance with the operator specifications.
• sturdy and stiff structure of the leaves, suitable for automation.
• regular and uniform movement of the leaves, without any friction
and dragging during their entire opening.
• with the reversible motors R to verify that the gate does not move
alone.
• stiff hinges in good conditions.
• presence of both opening and closing mechanical limit stops.
• presence of an efficient earthing for electrical connection of
the operator.
Perform any necessary metalwork job before installing the
automated system.
The condition of the gate structure directly affects the reliability
and safety of the automated system.

3.3. INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS

Determine the fitting position of the operator with reference to Fig.4.
Check with care if the distance between the open leaf and any
obstacles (walls, fences etc.) is higher than the operator dimen-
sions.

eneRal Rules to deteRmine the installation dimensions
• to obtain 90° leaf openings : A+B=C
• to obtain leaf openings exceeding 90° : A+B<C
• Smaller A and B dimensions determine higher peripheral speed
of the leaf.
• Limit the difference between A and B dimension within 4 cm:
higher differences cause great speed variations during the gate
opening and closing movement.
• Keep a Z dimension in such a way that the operator does not
strike the pillar.
• in the LS versions the limit switches are triggered for the first and
the last 30 mm. Therefore use such A and B dimensions in order to
use the whole operator travel. Shorter travels could limit or cancel
the limit switch adjustment range.
If the pillar dimensions or the hinge position do not allow the
installation of the operator, a niche on the pillar, as shown
in Fig. 5, should be created in order to maintain the A di-
mension as determined. The niche should be dimensioned
in such a way to enable easy installation, operator rotation
and operation of the release device.

3.4. INSTALLING THE OPERATORS
1. Fix the rear bracket in the position determined before. In the
event of iron pillar carefully weld the bracket directly on the
pillar (Fig.6). In the event of masonry pillar, use the suitable
plate (optional) for the fixing to screw (Fig.7) by making use
2
of suitable fastening systems. Then carefully weld the bracket
to the plate.
During the fastening operations, check if the bracket is
perfectly horizontal by means of a level.
2. Assemble the rear fitting to the operator as shown in Fig.8.
3. Set the operator for manual operation (see paragraph 5)
4. Completely extend the rod till it reaches the limit stop, fig.9
ref.a.
5. Lock the operator again (see paragraph 5.1)
6. Turn the rod clockwise half a revolution / a revolution, Fig.9
ref.b.
7. Assemble the front bracket as shown in Fig.10.
8. Fix the operator to the rear bracket by means of the supplied
pins as shown in Fig.11.
9. Close the leaf and, keeping the operator in a perfect horizontal
position, determine the fastening point of the front bracket
(Fig.12).
10. Temporarily fix the front bracket with two welding spots (Fig.12).
If the gate structure does not allow a fix bracket fastening it
is necessary to create a sturdy supporting base in the gate
structure.
11. Release the operator (see paragraph 5) and manually check
if the gate can completely open without hindrances and stop
at the mechanical travel stops as well as if the leaf moves
regularly without any friction.
12. Carry out the necessary corrective measures and repeat from
point 8.
13. Temporarily release the operator from the front bracket and
weld the bracket definitively.
If the leaf structure does not allow a bracket welding, the
suitable bracket to screw (optional) can be used together
with suitable fastening systems (Fig.13). Then carry out the
same operations as prescribed for the bracket to weld.
We recommend to grease all the fastening pins of the fittings.
3.5. WIRING THE OPERATOR
A terminal board is fitted in the lower part of the operator for the
connection of the motor, of any limit switch and for the earthing
of the operator.

1. Open one of the two pre-drilled holes in the supplied cover,
Fig.14; in case of operators with limit switches, open both holes.
2. Fit the supplied cable gland.
3. Connect the motor and the earthing with reference to Fig.15
and the following tables.
