1General warnings
These warnings constitute an integral and essential part of the product and must be issued to the user. Read the warnings
in this paragraph carefully since they supply important information concerning the safety of installation, use and
maintenance. Keep this handbook for any further consultation.
1.1 Warnings for installer and end user
1) After removing the packaging, make sure that the equipment is in good condition. If in doubt, please do not use the
equipment but appoint professionally qualified personnel.
Children should not be allowed in the reach of packaging elements (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, nails, etc.),
as they are potential sources of danger.
2) Before plugging in the equipment, make sure that the data on the identification plate corresponds to those of the
electricity distribution network. The installation must be carried out by qualified personnel, which have received a
technical training on the product, in accordance with current regulations, according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. The installation regulations can vary from country to country. Incorrect installation can cause harm to
people, animals or objects, for which the manufacturer cannot be held responsible.
The electrical safety of this equipment is only achieved if it’s correctly connected to an effective earthed system,
carried out as foreseen by the current safety regulations. It is necessary to verify this fundamental safety
requirement and, in case of doubt, ask for an accurate checking of the system by a professional qualified person.
The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for eventual damage by not earthing the gate. Check that the
electrical capacity of the system is adequate for the maximum power needed for the gate as indicated on the
identification plate. If in doubt, please ask a professionally qualified person. The latter should, in particular, also
ascertain that the cross-sections of the power supply cables are suitable for the power absorbed by the whole
equipment of the gate. It is not advisable to use adaptors, multiple plugs and/or extension wires. Should their use
prove indispensable, it is necessary to only use plugs, simple and multiple adaptors and extension cables which are
conform to the current safety regulations. Be careful not to exceed the capacity limit value of the current marked on
the single/multiple adaptors and extension cables.
3) This gate is only destined for the use of which it has been designed (the complete system). Any other use should be
considered improper and therefore dangerous. Betafence cannot be held responsible for damage caused by
improper, incorrect and unreasonable use.
4) For the use of any electrical equipment some fundamental rules need to be taken into account. (All types of
equipment). In particular:
-Do not touch the equipment with damp or humid hands or feet.
-Do not use the equipment when you are bare foot.
-Do not pull the power supply cables in order to disconnect the equipment from the power supply network.
-Do not leave the equipment exposed to atmospherical agents (rain, sun, etc.) unless expressly foreseen.
-Do not allow the equipment to be used by small children or incapable persons.
5) Before carrying out any cleaning or maintenance operations, unplug the equipment from the electrical supply
network either by removing the plug or turning off the main switch.
6) In case of a failure and/or poor functioning of the equipment, switch it off without making any attempt to repair it or
direct intervention. Consult professionally qualified personnel. Only the manufacturer or a certified installer,
exclusively using original spare parts, should carry out the eventual repairs to the product. Not doing so could
compromise the safety of the equipment.
7) An omni-power switch should be provided for the installation as foreseen by current safety regulations, with an
opening distance of 3 mm or more on the part of the contacts.
8) The user should not place or replace any cable of the installation; only professionally qualified personnel can do
this.

1.2 Particular points to note
-Avoid operating near to hinges or mechanical moving parts which could create dangerous situations. Parts of the
body and clothing can easily be caught up in them and because of the difficulty of freeing oneself from their grasp.
-Remember that this equipment can supply very considerable forces, which could be a source of danger. Do not get
within the action range of the gate while it is moving, wait until it has reached complete stop. A moving gate can be
dangerous for those who enter its action range.
-Only set the gate in motion when it is completely visible and free of impediments and obstacles.
-Do not allow small children to play with the opening controls or with the remote controls.
-Do not allow small children to play within the opening and/or the action range of the gate.
-Do not go against the movement of the gate, as it can cause dangerous situations.
-Clearly indicate on the gate that it is automated and can be put in motion from a distance (if supplied with such a
device).
-Inform all the users of the gate of these warnings and the security equipment as mentioned in the users manual.
Display this information at a suitable place.
-To guarantee the efficiency of the installation and its correct functioning, you should follow the manufacturer’s
indications and have the periodical maintenance and regular checks of the installation carried out by professionally
qualified personnel. In particular, it is recommended to have the correct functioning of all safety devices checked
periodically according the BETAFENCE MAINTENANCE BOOKLET.
-Learn to use the manual emergency control system according to the procedures foreseen in the instruction booklet.

-Prepare the foundations according to the drawing. If you are installing a left opening gate, make a mirror that
reflects the foundation.
-The depth of the foundations should be selected according to the local freezing depth, but it should be at least 800
mm.
-Be aware about the displacement of the main foundation axis (110mm) as presented in the foundation drawing.
-Foundations should be made of concrete class B25 or better.
-If you want to connect photocells by cable, put conduct pipes for electric wires between the ending post foundation
and the main post. Conduct pipes should stick above the future foundation’s surface.
-When the concrete is fully settled, fix chemical anchors M16x250 (or longer) in the foundations. Anchors must be at
least 10 cm above the concrete.
-Even If the foundations are well leveled you have to put the base plates over nuts and washers DIN9021 on each
chemical anchor (see next point)

Egidia Edition May 2015 7/14
4.2. Ground anchors
1. Install the ground fixations of the guiding and end
post according to the positions indicated on the
foundation plan. Therefore following fixation material
is required: Chemical anchors M16x250 (minimum 100mm
above Finished Ground Level. For anchor depth check
installation manual of supplier chemical resin).
Betafence does not deliver the chemical anchors.
2. Mark the position of the holes with a small diameter
concrete drill, this will help to centre the final drill.
3. Drill the corresponding holes for the fixation according the
installation instructions of the supplier of the chemical anchors.
Drillings must be in good vertical position.
4. Remove any dust and small particles from the drill holes using
a brushand hand pump. This will ensure perfect adhesion between
the resin for the ground anchor and the concrete foundation.
5. Place the chemical anchors according to the instructions of the
supplier. Drying times must be respected.
Use “high bond” type anchors for correct installation.
4.3. Preparing of the installation levels
1. Screw the bottom adjustment nuts on their ground anchors and place the washers on the
nuts.
2. Choose one anchor at the guiding post and turn its nut until the washer is leveled 30mm
above concrete level. Use this anchor as reference and p u t all other nuts / washers of the
guiding and l o c k post at the same l e v e l , so that they are perfectly horizontal one b e t we e n
another.
Remark:
It’s very important to fill the free space under the plate of the guiding- and
lock post with shrinkage-compensated concrete.
