The ZN10 operator integrates perfectly with the design of any up and over door with-
out essentially altering its appearance. It also features quiet and linear operation
which renders it safe and agreeable to use, thanks not least to a courtesy light timed
to switch off after 3 minutes.
Total safety
The use of low voltage motors (12 V) eliminates any risk of electrical discharges or
accidental electrification of the structure.
Electronic clutch
if the door is obstructed by an obstacle, an electronic device will immediately stop
the automatic system as soon as the slightest hint of abnormal friction is detected,
and reverse the movement by about 10 cm.
Easy to install
Simpler electrical installation thanks to the separate control unit, optimizing mainte-
nance and assembly (can be connected to the power supply using an existing sock-
et). The control unit lights up automatically (when the motor is activated) and has a
button for opening and closing the door. The absence of any “control head” at the
end of the mechanism, and consequently the reduction in length of 310 mm, is espe-
cially advantageous in situations where space may be limited.
Maintenance-free and reliable
With the new operating principle of a motor travelling along a fixed chain in a track,
the automatic system is quiet and long-lasting, and requires no maintenance.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE CURVED ARM
For counterbalance up and over doors, remove approximately 3-8 Kg, according to the weight of the door. For spring up and over
doors, reduce the tension in the spring by 3-5 cm, according to the weight of the door.
Assembly:
1. Remove the door lock lever (1). Determine the point of maximum aperture of the swing device. Position the track 10-12 mm
above the door.
2. Position the curve (2) vertically and at the centre of the door, and bring it up to the top edge of the swing device (3). On the angle
irons (4) supporting the curve, position the holes so as to allow stable fixing to the door frame (5).
3. Screw the curve to the swing device frame. Install an emergency release (6) and move it so that the end of the curved arm (12)
is located at the hole in the motor block. Always leave a distance of almost 50 mm (see drawing).
If required, after removing the screws (7), modify the length in 25 mm steps (8), after first unlocking the spacer track (9).
Do not connect the curved arm to the motor yet!
4. Move the motor back (end part of the track).
5. Open the up and over device manually. Push the curved arm backwards.
6. Remove the lock nut (10) connecting the track to the ceiling. Move the track by an amount (see arrow) sufficient that the hole in
the motor (11) coincides with the hole in the curved arm. Connect the curved arm to the motor. Adjust the power and movement
as described in the assembly instructions.

trol. If the operation was successful, the led turns off.
Cancellation of all codes stored
Press and keep pressed the push-button present on the circuit
board for at least 3 seconds until the led turns on. Release the
push-buttons and press it again. The les starts flashing. Press again
and keep pressed the push-button for at least 3 seconds until the led
flashes with a higher frequency and finally the led turns off.
N.B. The circuit board, with the 433 MHz receiver, can store up to
30 different radio control codes.
Adjusting applied force
The force required to open the door is adjusted automatically by the electronic card while it carries out self-regulation the first two
times the door is opened. During this operation, the courtesy light (2) will flash.
After turning the power supply to the control unit on, press the red button (6) fig. 26/ZN.
Open and close the door twice, during this operation the maximum values for the force to be applied to the door are read automati-
cally by the microprocessor, and at the end of the operation the light (2) will stop flashing. After adjustment, use the remote control
or the red button (6) to operate the automatic door.
Deleting force values
1. Turn the control unit power supply off
2. Remove the screw and take the cover off the courtesy light in the box.
3. Press and hold the function button (3) T1 for three seconds, until the light (2) starts to flash, then release button T1 and the force
values will be deleted automatically.
Storing new force values
1. When the lamp (2) flashes the new force values must be stored. Press the button (6) in the box once, the door will open without
stopping until it reaches the limit switch. Once it has stopped, press the button (6) again and the door will close until it is comple-
tely shut.
2. Press the button (6) again: the door will open until it is completely open.
3. The force values both for opening and closing have now been read, and the light (2) will stop flashing.
