Introduction
Thank you for choosing our BULL ratiomotor. All items in the wide Benincà production range are the result
of twenty-years’ experience in the automatism sector and of continuous research for new materials and ad-
vanced technologies. We are, therefore, in the position to offer higly reliable products that due to their power,
effectiveness and useful life, fully satisfy the final user’s requirements.
All our products are manufactured to the existing standard and are covered by warranty.
Possible injury to people or accidents caused by defects in construction are covered by a civil liability policy
drawn up with one of the major insurance companies.
1. General information
For an efficient operation of the sliding automatic mechanism, the gate must have the following features:
- The guide rail and its wheels must be suitable in size and mantained to prevent gate from excessive sliding
friction.
- When running, gate must not rock excessively.
- Opening and closing stroke must be regulated by a mechanical limit stop (to safety standard in force).
2. General features
Automation with single-phase power supply for sliding gates, available in three models:
BULL 10M for gates with max weight of 1000 Kg
BULL 15M for gates with max weight of 1500 Kg
BULL 20M for gates with max weight of 2000 Kg
The small and elegant design enbloc BULL consists of an aluminium unit containing the motor and irreversible
reduction unit, realized with high-grade materials.
The BULL has a spring-operated limit-switch.
A personalized key emergency release enables manual gate operation in the event of power failure.
Anti-crash safety is ensured by an electronic device (encoder), which detects the presence of any obstacle.
3. Installation of the foundation plate
Dimensions of the foundation plate are shown in Fig. 1.
It is essential to keep the distance from the rack, in order to position and remove the actuator once the rack
is fitted to the gate leaf.
The types of fittings of the foundation plate are mainly the following:
1 Installation without adjustment in height on the already existing base in concrete (Fig.2).
By using the plate as drilling template, drill 4 holes Ø10mm, and insert the steel threaded screw anchors,
Ø10x120mm, similar to those shown in Fig. 2.
Lock the actuator directly to floor, as indicated in Fig.7.
2 Installation with adjustment in height on the already existing base in concrete (Fig.3).
By using the plate as drilling template, drill 4 holes, and insert the Ø 10mm steel screw anchors for threaded
bars.
Tighten the 4 threaded bars, M10/120mm, and anchor the screw anchors by tightening the nuts “B” to floor
with the corresponding washers.
With reference to Fig. 3, position the foundation plate by means of the adjustment nuts “A”. After carrying out
the required regulations, position the motor as shown in Fig.6, and lock it, as indicated in Fig.7.
3 Installation with adjustment in height on concrete base.
With reference to Fig. 4, fit the stretcher bolts on the foundation plate and provide for a hole of adequate size.
Immerse the stretcher bolts in concrete, then remove the nuts “D” and the 11x30, large band washers “R”.
Move them under the plate to allow for regulations in height of the actuator (Fig. 5).
Carry out the regulations shown in Fig. 6 and lock the motor as indicated in Fig.7.
CAUTION: apart from the fitting modality used, carefully check that the actuator is steadily positioned
and the materials are suited to the intended use.
4. Rack fixing
Iron rack, 12x30mm.
Position the spacers D by welding or fit them to the gate with screws at 130/150mm height from the centre
line of the slot used for fitting to the base on which the foundation plate is to be fixed.
ENG WARNING
The product shall not be used for purposes or in ways other than those for which the product is intended for and as de-
scribed in this manual. Incorrect uses can damage the product and cause injuries and damages.
The company shall not be deemed responsible for the non-compliance with a good manufacture technique of gates as
well as for any deformation, which might occur during use.
Keep this manual for further use.
This manual has been especially written to be use by qualified fitters.
Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel (professional installer, according to EN 12635), in compliance with
Good Practice and current code.
Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
The installer must supply all information on the automatic, manual and emergency operation of the automatic system and
supply the end user with instructions for use.
Packaging must be kept out of reach of children, as it can be hazardous. For disposal, packaging must be divided the
various types of waste (e.g. carton board, polystyrene) in compliance with regulations in force.
Do not allow children to play with the fixed control devices of the product. Keep the remote controls out of reach of children.
This product is not to be used by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental capacity, or who are
unfamiliar with such equipment, unless under the supervision of or following training by persons responsible for their safety.
Apply all safety devices (photocells, safety edges, etc.) required to keep the area free of impact, crushing, dragging and
shearing hazard. Bear in mind the standards and directives in force, Good Practice criteria, intended use, the installation
environment, the operating logic of the system and forces generated by the automated system.
Installation must be carried out using safety devices and controls that meet standards EN 12978 and EN 12453.
An omnipolar switch/section switch with remote contact opening equal to, or higher than 3mm must be provided on the
power supply mains.
Make sure that before wiring an adequate differential switch and an overcurrent protection is provided.
Pursuant to safety regulations in force, some types of installation require that the gate connection be earthed.
During installation, maintenance and repair, cut off power supply before accessing to live parts.
Also disconnect buffer batteries, if any are connected.
The electrical installation and the operating logic must comply with the regulations in force.
The leads fed with different voltages must be physically separate, or they must be suitably insulated with additional insu-
lation of at least 1 mm.
The leads must be secured with an additional fixture near the terminals.
During installation, maintenance and repair, interrupt the power supply before opening the lid to access the electrical parts
Check all the connections again before switching on the power.
The unused N.C. inputs must be bridged.
