N.B.: The foundation plate has two large holes for the conduits to pass through. Both can be used, thanks to the space on the bottom of the gearmotor, but
it is easier to use the hole to the left of the pinion, shown in the figures.
Installing the foundation plate in concrete:
If the floor is not made of concrete or similar materials, it is necessary to prepare a concrete foundation, proceeding as follows:
1 - Dig a suitable hole (minimum 40x30cm, at least 35cm deep).
2 - Arrange the pipes for carrying the electric cables (see "electrical system set-up"), leaving the pipes approximately 30/40cm longer (Figure 4).
3 - Bend the 4 threaded bars:
a) If the rack is pre-installed at a greater height than as shown in Figure 1, or if there is a likelihood of stagnating water, it may be necessary to raise the
foundation plate, in this case bend the bars at approximately 45 mm as indicated in Figure 5.
b) Whereas, if the motor is to be secured to the ground, bend the bars at approximately 30 mm as indicated in Figure 6.
4 - Prepare the plate for casting, fixing it to the threaded bars.
With reference to Figure 7 use 4 lower support nuts D and 4 nuts F with their washers R to lock the plate in position. The position of the bars must be
similar to that shown in Figure 7.
5 - Prepare the concrete according to the manufacturer's instructions, in some cases it may be necessary to make a metal cage to stabilize the foundation.
6 - Sink the bars into the concrete, paying attention to the level of the plate and the parallelism with the gate leaf (figure 8).
7 - Wait for the concrete casting to set.
8 - Remove the upper screws and washers that will subsequently be used for fixing the gearmotor.
9 - Figure 9 shows the plate when fixing is completed. If necessary it is now possible to raise the plate by a maximum of 20mm, placing 4 nuts and their
washers under the plate as shown in figure 10.
