A) Safety Instructions / Components Included
1) Safety Instructions
2) Components Included
(Ill. 1)
When installing and using the DICTAMAT 50 WS-MFL with tensioned
wire rope, hold-open and freewheel function make sure to observe all
information and advice given in 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 should for some reason no
longer work properly, the complete device has to be replaced!
It has also to be made sure that the spring rope pulley and the radial
damper are protected in order to prevent fingers being trapped (protection
cover!).
The closing speed has to be adjusted on the radial damper so that the
door can easily be stopped by hand in every position, making sure
nobody will be endangered.

CLOSE
Only the wire rope and the supporting rope hold the radial damper LD
50 WS with freewheel carrier. It is not fixed to the door!
IMPORTANT: The wire rope and the supporting rope have to position
the freewheel carrier in such a way that with one side it can push with
the buffer the door leaf and on the other side, when the door is open,
the complete surface of the magnet adheres to the counter
plate (see ill. 7).
The attachment on the radial damper for guiding the wire rope can be
turned according to the required damping direction (see point C/2d).
IMPORTANT: The bracket with the tensioning device for the supporting
rope and the clamp piece for the wire rope as well as the bracket with
the wire rope tensioner and the holder for the supporting rope have to
be mounted so that the wire rope and the supporting rope run exactly
in a straight line (see ill. 8).

Step 1: Unscrew the four fixing screws of the cover and take off the
cover (see ill. 14).
Step 2: Take out the wire rope wheel and turn it (For taking it out, if
necessary, turn the radial damper upside down and softly hit something
solid. Then the wire rope wheel will fall out!):
Wire rope wheel with the writing pointing upwards (see ill. 13):
damping anticlockwise,
with the writing pointing downwards: damping clockwise
Then put back the cover and fix it again with the screws.
(2) Positioning the attachment for a different guiding of the
rope
Step 1: See "Changing the damping direction"
Step 2: See "Changing the damping direction"
Step 3: Remove the guide bushes (if necessary use a small screw driver
to push the bushes out). Below these are the fixing screws of the wire
rope attachment.
Step 4: Loosen the four screws of the wire rope attachment and pull it
off the axle of the radial damper.
Step 5: Turn the attachment so that the bores for the plastic bushes
show in the direction of the rope and then put it back on the axle of the
radial damper. Then again tighten the wire rope attachment and insert
the guide bushes.
Step 6: Check whether after having turned the attachment, the damping
direction is correct. If not, correct it (see above step 2).

IMPORTANT:
The bore in the bracket for guiding through the rope
(optional bores are marked in ill. 16 by arrows) and the
one in the wire rope attachment on the radial damper have
to be exactly aligned, so that the wire rope runs absolutely
straight - see also ill. 8. The other bore is needed for the
supporting rope. Also this one has to be perfectly aligned!
Furthermore it has to be made sure that, when the door is
open, the counter plate on the bracket completely adheres
to the whole surface of the electromagnet.

3d) Mounting the wire rope
- Guide the wire rope in the freewheel direction (usually the opening
direction of the door) through the corresponding bore with the plastic
bush in the wire rope attachment of the damper (see also point C/2d).
- Guide the wire rope through the bore in the clamp piece. Then fix it
there from below by means of the headless pins (internal hexagon
wrench size SW 3) (see ill. 19).
- Guide the wire rope through one of the bores of the bracket for the
wire rope tensioner. You have to choose the bore so that the wire rope
will be perfectly aligned. Then insert the wire rope in the bore of the
wire rope tensioner. Doing this turn the worm inside the wire rope
tensioner.
ATTENTION: The wire rope tensioner is NOT fixed to the bracket, but
is held by the tensioned rope once the mounting has been finished.

DICTAMAT 50 WS-MFL
The spring rope pulley of the DICTAMAT 50 WS-MFL is mounted in the
CLOSED position of the sliding door.
Usually the eyelet of the Kevlar rope of the spring rope pulley is fixed to
the mounting bracket with the radial damper (see point C/5b).
5a) Fixing the spring rope pulley
The bracket of the spring rope pulley features two oblong holes on its top
which allow to screw the spring rope pulley from below to the ceiling/rail.
In case the two oblong holes cannot easily be accessed in the choosen
mounting position, an additional mounting plate, part no. 070114, is
available (see ill. 28, right illustration).
During installation you have to make sure that the spring rope
pulley is fixed so that its rope always points in the direction of the door
leaf. You simply turn the spring rope pulley accordingly. As you can
tension the spring from both sides, nothing else has to be changed.

5b) Fixing the Kevlar rope of the spring rope pulley on the
door leaf
The Kevlar rope has to run straight from the spring rope pulley, i.e. exactly
horizontally and in-line, without any lateral deviation.
IMPORTANT: When choosing the fixing point for the rope of
the spring rope pulley, you have to make sure that the travel of
the spring rope pulley allows the complete travel of the door!
Usually the pressed on eyelet of the Kevlar rope of the spring rope pulley
is fixed by means of the quick chain link (marked red in ill. 30) to the
oblong hole in the bracket with the radial damper.
When fixing the rope you have to make sure
the rope runs absolutely straight. If necessary,
you can remove the safety pin - but only when
the rope has been securely fastened. The safety
pin shall prevent the rope from uncoiling when
accidentally being released during mounting.
Before starting the adjusting work, the wire rope as well as the supporting
rope are finally tensioned. For the proceeding see points C/3e and 3f).

6) Tensioning the
Wire Rope and the
Supporting Rope
IMPORTANT:
Don't tension the wire rope too much, as otherwise moving the
door will require too much effort. The correct tension is achieved
when the rope doesn't rest or touch anywhere.
Ill. 31
Ill. 30
After having completed the adjusting work according to the following
pages, you should operate the door about ten times and then again
control the tension of the ropes.

Open the door completely (max. opening 1.5 m). There have to be
left at least 1.5 windings of rope on the spring rope pulley.
The spring is pretensioned by the tensioning screw SW 17 being
accessible from both sides in the direction of the arrows "spannen"
= tension (ill. 32a - 32c). Maximum pretension: 2, 4 respectively 5
revolutions depending on the used spring rope pulley (see table below)!
Releasing: In case the spring had been tensioned too much, the pretension
can again be reduced by turning the tensioning screw against the
direction of the arrow.
