GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE OPERATOR
The VULCAN S operator is constructed to form part of
a hinged gate automation system. Allows the
requirements of standard EN 12453 to be fulfilled.
It comprises a metal casing, which contains a hydraulic
pump and a drive piston.
VULCAN S operators are fitted with an exclusive
safety system, patented by ERREKA.
This safety system is capable of detecting the collision of
the gate with an obstacle, informing the control panel
of this incident, in order to invert operation direction.
Hence, VULCAN S operators, along with the ERREKA
control panels, allow the requirements of standard
EN12453 to be met without the need for peripheral
elements.

INITIAL CONDITIONS AND CHECKS
Initial conditions of the gate
Check that the size of the gate is within the
admissible range of the operator (see the
technical characteristics of the operator).
If the gate to be automated has a passage gate,
install a safety device to prevent the operator
from operating with the passage gate open.
The gate must have an in-ground central stop and
an in-ground stop in opening.
The gate must be easy to manipulate manually,
namely:
•This must be balanced, in order to ensure the effort
made by the motor is minimum.
•There should be no stiffness throughout its travel.
Do not install the operator in a gate which does
not work correctly in manual operation, as this
may lead to accidents. Repair the gate before
installing.
Environmental conditions
This device is not suitable for installation in
inflammable or explosive environments.
Check that the admissible environmental
temperature range for the operator is suitable
for the location.
Electrical power supply installation
The electrical connections shall be made in line
with the instructions in the control panel
manual.
The electrical cable section is indicated in: “Fig. 1

INSTALLING THE OPERATOR
Horizontality of the operator
OThe operator must work horizontally: to do
this, the supports must be positioned with a
height difference of 19 mm.
Check horizontality using a Spirit level.
Assembly positions and dimensions
For the correct operation of the operator, it is
essential that the supports are positioned respecting
the dimensions calculated, with regards to the gate
and its rotation axis.
The dimensions are selected using either the table or
the attached chart. The table indicates some specific
cases, whilst the chart shows all the possible cases.
The assembly dimensions depend on the opening angle
of the gate and the following factors:
•Type of operator chosen: short (Piston rod travel =
265mm) or long (Piston rod travel = 400mm)
•Opening of the gate inward or outward.
Hence there are four different cases, as explained below
(each case is represented by way of its corresponding
diagram, table and chart).

FAILURE DIAGNOSIS
3
SPARE PARTS
If the operator needs repairing, go to an
authorised assistance centre or manufacturer;
never try to repair it yourself.
Use only original spare parts.
4
SCRAP
The operator, up until the end of its useful life,
must be dismounted at its location by an
installer who is as well qualified as the person
who completed the assembly, observing the
same precautions and safety measures. In this
manner we will avoid possible accidents and
damage to adjacent facilities.
}The operator must be deposited in the appropriate
containers for subsequent recycling, separating and
classifying the different materials in line with their
nature. NEVER deposit it in domestic rubbish or in
landfills which are not controlled, as this will cause
environmental damage.
