1.1 Information regarding the operating manual
This operating manual serves the purpose to enable the user to install, start-up, and operate the gate
opener appropriately.
The operating manual, especially the chapter safety, must be read and understood completely before
beginning any work with the gate opener. The instructions of the operating manual, especially the
notes on safety, as well as the accident prevention regulations adequate for the type of application
must absolutely be kept.
The operating manual describes gate openers with one wing but also applies to systems with 2 wings.
Variations will be pointed out explicitly.

2 Safety
2.1 General notes of safety
The valid regulations and srandards, like DIN EN 13241-1, DIN EN 12445, DIN EN 12453 etc., have to
be observed during installation.
Do not put a damaged gate opener into operation.
After set-up (installation) every user of the equipment has to be instructed about the operation and
function of the swing gate opener. Only the use of spare parts made by the original manufacturer is
allowed.
2.2 Notes on safety for the operation
Children and not instructed persons are not allowed to operate the gate system.
No persons, objects, or animals are allowed within the range of the gate movement during opening or
closing. Never reach into moving parts of the gate opener or the gate itself. Drive or walk through the
gate system only after complete opening.
The gate system has to be secured depending on the type of usage, corresponding to the valid
standards and regulations (e.g. safety at the main and secondary closing edges).
The safety devices have to be checked regularly for functioning according to the standards and
regulations, at least once a year.
2.3 Notes on safety for the operation with radio remote control
The radio remote control should only be used, if the area of movement of the gate is always
completely visible by the operator and thus it is assured, that no person, object, or animal is present
within this range of movement.
The radio remote control transmitters have to be carefully kept, so that an unintentional use is
impossible.
Radio remote controls should not be operated at radio-technical sensitive locations, like airports or
hospitals. Interferences by other (properly operated) radio installations, which are used within the
same frequency range, cannot be ruled out.
2.4 Intended usage
The operating safety is only guaranteed with the intended use of the gate opener.
The swing gate openers of the series ZENIT-S 300 / ZENIT-S 450 after installation serve the opening
and closing of not wind-resisting, horizontally moving gates with a max. weight of 300kg or 450kg per
wing and a max. wing length of 3,000mm or 4,500mm respectively.
The controller MO 36 is a component part and controls the swing gate opener ZENIT.
Any usage beyond this and/or any different application of the equipment is prohibited and is
considered as not according to regulations.

Transportation and storing
7
2.5 Danger, which could emanate from the site of operation
The swing gate opener ZENIT operates with movable parts.
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Rotating and/or linear movable components can cause serious injuries. Während des
Betriebs nicht in laufende Teile eingreifen oder an sich bewegenden Bauteilen hantieren.
Turn the appliance off before beginning repair work, maintenance work, or other work and
secure against restarting.
3 Transportation and storing
3.1 Transportation inspection
The shipment has to be inspected for transportation damage immediately after receipt. In case of any
damage record the type and extent on the delivery receipt or refuse acceptance.
Inform ELKA-Torantriebe immediately in the event of damage.
In case the above points are not observed claims will be denied due to insurance regulations.
3.2 Storing
The swing gate opener has to be stored as follows:
1. Do not expose the gate opener to aggressive substances
2. Do not expose the gate opener to heat sources.
3. Storage temperature -20°C to +70°C

4.1 Installation information for partly completed machinery
The partly completed machinery must not be put into service until the final machinery into
which it has to be incorporated has been declared inconformity with the provisions of the
machinery directive.
The safety functions of the controller comply with EN ISO 13849-1:2008
Kat.2PL d.
According to EC Directive 2006/42/EG the mains supply has to be equipped
with an all-pole circuit breaker.
WARNING!
Danger through voltage!
Danger of an electric shock.
Only certified electricians (VDE 0100) should connect the controller to the
mains supply.
According to DIN EN 12453, for an application with passenger traffic,
depending on the type of use and type of activation, suitable safety devices
have to be installed additionally, in order to provide the minimum level of
protection.
4.2 Declaration of conformity
After installation of the gate opener, the person responsible for the installation (in accordance with DIN
EN 13241-1) has to issue - according to the directive 2006/42/EEC- a declaration of conformity for the
gate system (gate plus swing gate opener).
4.3 Nameplate
The nameplate of the swing gate opener is fitted on the fixing bracket under the hood.

7 Function description
The bending and straightening of the articulated arm effects the opening and closing of the gate. The
end positions are programmed in the learning sequence. During operation the gate opener shuts down
at these end positions and the mandatory mechanical end stops.
For gate wings of 3,000mm length and longer we stipulate the use of an electromagnetic bolt / motor
lock for additional blocking.
The controller MO 36 offers the possibility to activate the gate wings by radio remote control.
The controller is able to observe the max. permitted force which was set before in the learning
sequence. If during the gate movement more force is needed, the gate openers reverse. Additionally
several different safety features, e.g. photoelectric barriers and safety contact profiles, can be
connected. The safety contact profile detection (8,2kOhm) for both directions of motion is integrated in
the controller.

8.1 Notes of safety
ATTENTION!
The controller and/or motor need to be disconnected from the gate while electric
welding is performed!
Welding can damage the controller and the motor.
Remove the controller and the gate opener from the gate/gatepost when welding work is
planned there.
REMARK!
Make sure the gate wing / wings are smooth-running and that the rotation axes are
vertical. Check if enough room for the gate opener remains, when the gate is in the end
positions.
REMARK!
Remove any interlocking system (plunger blocks etc.) or make it inoperable before the
installation of the gate.
REMARK!
All cables of the gate opener have to be laid in (protective) empty conduit according to the
application.

Disengage the articulated arm using the emergency release key (see Drawing 11). To do so move the
emergency release key from position 1 to position 2. Then turn the articulated arm into the direction of
position 3, the driving lever divides itself into one upper and one lower half.
Drawing 12
Close the gate completely. Turn the articulated arm towards the gate. Align the articulated arm
horizontally.
The distance between the pivot point of the drive shaft and the pivot point of the gate support has to
be 1035mm (see also page 15, Drawing 4).

REMARK!
For fastening drill and cut two M8-threads into the gate beam. Fasten the gate support
with two screws M8 x 16 (e.g. cylinder-head bolts DIN 912).
Should the material thickness not be sufficient, drill clearance holes through the gate
beam and use cylinder-head bolts in a suitable length and self-locking hexagon nuts on
the opposite gate side.
Fasten the gate support at the determined position. Then fix the articulated arm at the gate support.
Drawing 14
WARNING!
Risk of crushing!
In case the articulated arm is mounted incorrectly, the upper and lower halves can form a
shear point or crushing point.
Therefore ensure a correct installation of the articulated arm.
