* gates with low wind resistance Table 1

** depending on the installation dimensions

*** end stops at the main wing are not necessarily required for a gate width up to

2,500mm, but are recommended for position CLOSED.

3. Installation dimensions (example)

When installing next to the gate either with set 1 or set 2, please use the

measurements in the respective installation manual.

Drawing 1

Drawing 2

Please make sure, that the gate wings can be moved easily and that the axis of

rotation is in a completely vertical position.

End stops for gate OPEN and CLOSED are required for wings of 2,500mm and

larger.

4. Installation

Important:

Warning! The controller needs to be disconnected while welding is

performed on the gate.

Internal stops have to be adjusted according to paragraph 4.4, even though when

external stops exist (see also paragraph 4.2 – emergency release).

Do not remove the adjustment clip before the adjustment of the internal

stops is completed (see paragraph 4.5 – removing of the adjustment clip).

Warning! Please do not leave the emergency release key in the key lock.

Please do not remove the protective foil and the protective tape before

installation has been completed (see paragraph 4.2).

In case external stops exist and are in use, adjust the wing/s in such a way

that they touch the external stops with the least possible tension.

The motor-connection cable (cross section 5x1.5mm²) should be laid through

a suitable conduit (shortest distance) to the next joint box. This mechanical

protection (conduit) has to be assured all the way to the joint box. Use a

suitable cable from the joint box onward.

4.1. Tools needed

The following tools are needed (on site) for the installation:

1 Torque wrench 30 – 50Nm

1 Allen key 6mm matching the above

1 Extension piece 100mm for torque wrench

1 Allen key 4mm (ball-ended)

Installation bolts on site.

4.2. Installation at the gate and gate post

4.2.1. Installation at the gate post

Depending on the type of gate post, installation is possible either completely on site,

partially prepared on site, or completely prepared at the installer`s workshop.

Important: The bottom of the underfloor opener has to be set on a concrete foundation

(on site). The 4 mounting straps are only an installation aid. They are not made for

absorption of the force developed during movement of the gate. The underfloor housing

has to be laid in concrete at least half way up the sides of the housing.

Note: Do not remove the protective foil and the protective tape which covers the gap

between the cover plate and the underfloor housing. They protect the seal area against

building material during the installation

a) Wall or wall posts:

The underfloor housing of the TERRA gate opener has 4 mounting straps on its rear

side to screw onto the post. Please see the drawing with the height measurements

below for the positioning of the screws to set the rawl plugs in the walling.

Drawing 5

b) Metal posts:

At gate posts made of steel or aluminium you may pre-mount fastening straps,

where the underfloor housing can then be fixed with screws.

c) Metal posts:

You pre-mount the gate opener onto the gate at your workshop completely and

install this unit on site.

4.2.2. Emergency release

Damit die Notentriegelung einwandfrei arbeitet, muss der Torflügel mechanisch

spannungsarm in der Position AUF und ZU stehen.

Drawing 6

4.2.3. Emergency releasing

Open the cover of the cylinder lock below the gate support (see drawing 6). Insert the key

and turn it 90° anti-clockwise. Pull the emergency release lever downwards. The gate

opener is now released and the gate can be moved freely.

ATTENTION! The internal stops are not working now. The gate now can be

moved further than the regular end positions.

4.2.4. Engaging of emergency release

Push the emergency release lever up. Turn the key 90° clockwise. Remove the key and

close the cover of the cylinder lock. Move the gate until the emergency release engages.

320

4.2.5. Installation at the gate

Use the included welding profile. There are 4 tapholes at one end of the welding profile.

The pivot point of the gate is located between these tapholes.

Pivot point

Drawing 7

We recommend the use of the upper hinge-set.

Emergency release Driver plate

Drawing 8

The welding profile can be used as drilling template.

Connect the gate support with the provided screws to the gate wing. The emergency

release is located in the gate support. Use the enclosed key to release the emergency

release lock and push the lever down. The nosing moves into the gate support. There is a

50mm ∅drilling hole in the bottom of the gate support. Now place the gate into the upper

hinge. Place the gate with the gate support onto the gearbox shaft, which protrudes from

the underfloor opener. Push the lever up and lock the emergency release with the key (see

drawing 7).

Drawing 9

Move the gate until the nosing of the emergency release engages into the driver plate by

itself. Now the gate opener and the gate wing are connected again.

4.3. Checking of the movement

Release the gate opener manually again. Check, if the gate can be moved easily by hand

between OPEN and CLOSED. Engage the release in any chosen gate position. When the

gate is moved again, the nosing engages automatically (original installation position). Now

the gate opener and the gate wing are connected again.

4.4. Adjusting of the internal stops with the MO36

4.4.1. Information for the adjusting

Note: For gates with two wings, the pedestrian wing opens first.

Max. permitted force setting: The original setting is force level 30. Change the force

settings only, when the original settings are not sufficient during learning. The max.

permitted force setting depends on the gate opener size:

k. Now you can move each gate wing separately into the end positions in slow mode

(dead man´s function). The main wing moves into direction OPEN only as long as

button BT is pressed. When button BT is pushed again, the wing moves into direction

CLOSED. The pedestrian wing moves into direction OPEN only as long as button BTG

is pressed. When button BTG is pushed again, the wing moves into direction CLOSED.

ATTENTION! Tighten the screws only 1 turn unto the point when the thread

barely holds the screws. Do not fasten the screws completely yet.

Piece by piece insert all fastening screws, starting at the corners. Please make sure not to

damage the seal. Please make sure that the 6 fastening screws at the gear shaft are

equipped with their seals. The seal between cover plate and housing is to be

inserted according to the drawing.

Now the fastening screws can be tightend crosswise -step by step- completely.

4.7. Re-adjusting of internal stops
