3. INSTALLATION OF THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM
3.1. PRELIMINARYCHECKS
To ensure trouble-free operation, make sure that the gate
(whether existing or yet to be installed) has the following
specifications:
•max.lengthofeachgateleaf:7 metres
•strongandrigidleafframe
•smoothgatemovement,withnostiffpoints
•hingesingoodcondition
•phisical travel limit stops
If any welding or brazing has to be done on the gate, do this
beforeinstallingtheautomationsystem. Thegoodorder ofthe
structure directly influences the reliability and safety of the
automationsystem.
3.2. INSTALLATIONOFTHEOPERATORS
1) Fix the rear bracket to the gate post according to the
instructions in Table 2. Adjust the length of the bracket if
necessary.
Warning:Observethespecifieddimensionstoensurecorrect
operatorfunctioning.
Inthecaseofirongateposts,weldthebracketdirectlyonto

2) Fixtheoperatorto therearbracketby meansofthescrews
supplied(Fig.4).
3) Screwthefrontbrackethalf-wayontotherod (1, Fig.6)and
secure with the nut provided.
4) Releasetheoperator(see paragraph5).
5) Extend the rod to the end of its stroke and then retract it by
Table 2 INSTALLATIONDIMENSIONS
about 5 mm (Fig. 5).
6) Locktheoperator(see paragraph 6)
7) Fit the front bracket onto the rod as shown in Fig. 6, ref. 2.
8) Close the gate leaf and, keeping the operator perfectly
horizontal, locate the leaf attachment position of the front
bracket(Fig. 7).
9) Fix the frontbrackettemporarilytotheleafbytwowelds.
N.B.:Ifthegateframedoesnotallowforsecurefixingofthe
bracket, add a support plate.
10) Releasetheoperatorandensurethatthegateopens smoothly

CALCULATING INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS: GENERAL
RULES
If modifications to the dimensions specified in Table A or B are
necessary,proceedasfollows:
- For 90° leaf opening: a + b = c
- For leaf opening over 90°: a + b < c
-The smaller thedimensionsofaandbthehigherthegatespeed.
Alwaysrespectcurrentstandards.
-Limit the difference between a and b to within 40 mm: larger
differences alter speed considerably during opening and
closing.

For detailed information on the operation of the automation
system in the various operating modes, consult the installation

The automation system is equipped with a photocell safety
device which prevents the leaves from closing when the
photocellsareobscuredby an obstacle.
The 400 automation system is also equipped with an anti-
crushingsafetydevice(fittedasstandard)thatlimitsthetorque

The operators ensure that the system is mechanically locked
