2 ) GENERAL OUTLINE
The ELI 250 BT electromechanical actuator is the ideal solution for underground
hinge-pivot installation. The actuator consists of a perfectly sealed single-block
reduction gear. The under hinge-pivot position maintains the aesthetic appear-
ance of the gate and practically hides the automation system.
Once the bearing case is installed, the gate can be operated even without tting
the actuator which can be inserted later. When maintenance is required, this type
ofcase allowstheactuatorto be taken out without removing thegateleaf.The ELI
250 BT actuator can be tted to any type of swing gate which meets the values
shown in the ”Technical Specications” table. The pushing force is set on the
control unit (see specic manual).
The end-of-stroke operation is controlled by special end-of-stroke magnetic sen-
sors and by mechanical stop blocks located inside the foundation case.
CAUTION! The actuator mod. ELI 250 BT is not provided with mechanical
torque adjustment. It is compulsory to use a control board of the same
manufacturer, according to the basic safety requirements of directives
2006/95/CEE, 2004/108/CEE, 2006/42/CEE and provided with adequate
electric torque adjustment.

5.3) Electrical installation set-up
Lay out the electrical installation as shown in g. 2, with reference to the CEI 64-8
and IEC 364 provisions, complying with the HD 384 and other national standards
in force for electrical installation. The mains power supply connections must be
kept totally separate from the service connections (photocells, electric edges,
control devices etc.).
WARNING! It is recommended to use the following cables:
• Connection to the mains: multipolar cable with minimum cross section
of 3x1.5 sq mm.
• Connection to the control unit:
- Operator farthest from the control unit (Fig.2)
for the motor: 2x2.5 sq mm cables;
for the limit switch sensors: 3x1 sq mm cables.
- Operator nearest to the control unit (Fig.2)
for the motor: 2x1.5 sq mm cables;
for the limit switch sensors: 3x1 sq mm cables.
Connect the control and safety devices in compliance with the previously men-
tioned electrical installation standards. Fig. 2 shows the number of connections
and the cross section for cables having a length of approximately 100 metres; in
case of longer cables, calculate the cross section for the actual automation load.
Warning! For actuator wiring and accessory connection, refer to the relevant
instruction manuals. The control panels and accessories must be suitable for use
and conform to current standards.
5.4) Foundation case cementing
