5 Installation
Before installing, do the following:
• Make sure you have suitable tubing and conduits for the electrical cables to pass through and be protected against mechanical
damage;
• Fit tubing to drain away any water leaks which may cause oxidation;
• Make sure that any connections inside the case (that provide continuance to the protective circuit) be fitted with extra
insulation as compared to the other conductive parts inside;
• Make sure the structure of the gate is sturdy, the hinges work and that the is no friction between moving and non-moving
parts;
• Make sure there is a mechanical stop for opening and closing.
Installation must be carried out by expert qualified personnel and in full compliance with current regulations.

Make sure you have all the tools and materials you will need for the installation at hand to work in total safety and
compliance with the current standards and regulations. The following figure illustrates the minimum equipment needed by
the installer.
N.B.: If the cable length differs from that specified in the table, then you must determine the proper cable diameter in the
basis of the actual power draw by the connected devices and depending on the standards specified in CEI EN 60204-1.
For connections that require several, sequential loads, the sizes given on the table must be re-evaluated based on actual
power draw and distances.
When connecting products that are not specified in this manual, please follow the documentation provided with said
products.

Warning: after establishing the best point to which you will secure the gate bracket, secure the bracket to the pillar and make sure
the quotas shown in the table below are met.
Note: by increasing measure B, the opening angle and gate speed are reduced, while the gearmotor thrust is increased. By
increasing the measure A, the opening angle and gate speed are increases, while the gearmotor thrust is decreased.

N.B. the number of tubes depends on the type of system and accessories employed.
The following illustrations are only examples, given that the space available for anchoring the operator and accessories
may vary from gate to gate. It is up to the installer, thus, to choose the most suitable solution.

7 Safety instructions
This product must only be employed for its originally intended use. Any other use is wrong and potentially dangerous. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for any damages resulting from wrongful, erroneous or negligent uses.
Avoid working close to the hinges or other moving mechanical parts. Stay out of the opening/closing arc when operator is in
motion.
Do not exercise force against the motion of the operator as this could result in potentially dangerous situations.
Important safety instructions
Do not allow children to play or loiter within the opening/closing arc of the operator.
Keep remote controls and any other command device out the reach of children, to prevent operator from being activated by
accident.
In the event of anomalous behaviour, stop using the operator immediately.
