Technical Manual
DICTAMAT 50 KP
A) Safety Instructions / Components Included
1)Safety Instructions When installing and using the DICTAMAT 50 KP with pull rope make
sure to observe all information and advice of this manual. During the
installation we recommend to wear protective gloves to prevent any risk
of getting hurt by sheet edges.
The casing of the spring rope pulley may never be opened as the released
spring can cause major injuries. If the spring rope pulley should for some
reason no longer work properly the complete device has to be replaced!
It has also to be assured that the spring rope pulley and the radial
damper are protected by a protection cover to prevent fingers getting
trapped. Furthermore the rope may not get in touch with fat or oil as
otnerwise the rope may slip.
The closing speed has to be adjusted at the radial damper so that the
door can be stopped by hand without problem at every position, making
sure nobody will be put in danger.
IMPORTANT: Both components of the compact unit may never be
installed without the carrier plate or in altered positions as this might
cause malfunction by slack rope.

C) Installation of the DICTAMAT 50 KP
1) Determination of the
Installation Position
- Preparing the
DICTAMAT 50 KP for
the Mounting
The DICTAMAT 50 KP is a compact unit with single pull rope with carrier
plate for mounting either from below to or in the rail, or from above on
top of the rail. It is appropriate only for single-leaf doors.
Normally the DICTAMAT 50 KP is mounted on that side of the rail where
the door is closed.
Depending on the mounting place or the closing direction of the door
you have to choose the corresponding DICTAMAT 50 KP.
The following illustration 3a shows the installation at the left end of the
rail, with a door closing to the left (DICTAMAT 50 KP left).

Ill. 2a
Mounting the DICTAMAT 50 KP
from below to the rail:
- either the carrier plate is nested
into the rail with the help of M5
screws and nuts, and washers if
necessary
- or the carrier plate is screwed
directly to the rail.
Mounting the DICTAMAT 50 KP
from above on top of the rail:
- the carrier plate is screwed from
above to the rail (see adjoining
illustration).

In case the DICTAMAT 50 KP you have at hand is not the correct ver-
sion for your application, please contact our technical department. By
telephone we will explain you the necessary steps for changing to the
needed version (right or left).
ATTENTION: When changing without technical advice, there may
happen a malfunction of the DICTAMAT 50 KP.
To allow for a simple fixing and exact positioning on, in or from below
to the rail, the carrier plate has oblong holes.
3) Fixing the Kevlar Rope
to the Door
To make fixing to the door easy the Kevlar rope has an eyelet for M5
screws. The eyelet can be fixed either to the wheel hanger or directly to
the door leaf. The rope should run as straight as possible and may not
chafe on sharp edges.
Attention: In case the Kevlar rope has accidentally disengaged from
the guiding pulleys of the DICTAMAT 50, it is compulsory to observe the
guiding of the rope corresponding to the illustrations 3a or 3b and to
make sure it runs beneath the rope coming-off prevention device!

Open the door completely (max. opening 1.5 m) - there must remain
min. 1.5 loops of rope on the spring rope pulley.
The spring is tensioned with the tensioning screw SW17 that is accessible
from both sides. The correct sense for the tensioning is indicated by the
red arrows "Spannen" (see ill. 6a - 6c). Maximum pretension: depending
on the type of the spring rope pulley 2, 4 or 5 turns (see table below)!
Reducing the pretension: if the spring rope pulley has been tensioned
too much, the pretension can be reduced by turning the tensioning screw
against the direction of the arrows.
Force needed for tensioning/releasing the spring:
25 N spring: ca. 12 Nm, 50 N: ca. 15 Nm, 80 N: ca. 17 Nm
The diagram below (ill. 6) indicates the closing force of the spring
rope pulley in relation to the pretension and the door width.

D) Adjustment of the Closing Force and Speed (cont.)
2) Adjustment of the
Closing Speed
In order to adjust the closing speed open the door completely.
Now adjust the closing speed during the closing of the door by turning
the adjustment screw of the radial damper (Allan key 5.5 mm or slotted
screw driver) (see ill. 7).
Turning clockwise: reduces the closing speed
Turning anticlockwise: increases the closing speed
Now make sure that the spring closes the door from every position, also
the not completely opened door. If necessary increase the pretension
(see point 1. IMPORTANT: Pretension the spring only when the door
is completely opened!)

E) Maintenance, Servicing
Annually or at the latest after 30.000 movements:
1. Check the door for damages and its smooth operation.
2. Check the fittings for damages and wearing: rail, wheel hanger,
door handle etc.
3. Check the secure fixing of all door and operator fittings.
4. Check the complete rope and the lining of the rope pulley for dama-
ges and wearing.
5. Check the freewheel of the rope pulley for smooth operation and
running noises.
6. Lubricate just the running surface of the freewheel of the rope pulley
with vaseline (ill. 9). For this purpose reduce the rope tension, partly
pull off the rope pulley and put some vaseline on the shaft.
7. Check the rope tension. The rope may not slip on the rope pulley. If
necessary, retension.
8. Check the closing speed and force and, if necessary, adjust it. Too
fast doors represent a risk of getting injured.
9. All damaged and worn parts have to be replaced as fast as possible
by original spare parts.
