CHAIN TENSIONER
The chain tensioner is to be xed to the wall, or a bracket, by suitable bolts depending on the nature of the wall itself, and the
position is to be the most appropriate to allow installation and the subsequent adjustment of chain tension (the hexagonal head
to be on the side opposite the one facing MEC 200 LB).
• Loosen M18 nut to unlock the tensioner pinion.
• Adjust the position of the pinion as required by screwing or unscrewing the hexagonal head positioned on the side.
• Once satised the pinion is in the correct position for the chain to stay stretched, the M18 nut is to be locked back.
MOUNTING AND FASTENING MEC 200 LB
MEC 200 LB is to be mounted by positioning and fastening the motor base plate on to the previously xed support bracket.
With the door in fully open position there must be a clearance of 10-15 cm as indicated in the picture, with reference to the
pinion.

ADJUSTING THE INCORPORATED LIMIT SWITCHES
This operation applies only to MEC 200 LB with incorporated limit switches, for doors whose width is 8 meters maximum.
First operation. Make sure the chain is well stretched by adjusting the tensioner in order to ensure the entire system will work all
right (it is obvious that the door is to be fastened to the chain).
Make also sure that proper ground door stops be provided in open and closed door positions.
The microswitches inside the limit switch box are factory pre-connected to the dedicated terminals; these are to be further connected
to the respectively dedicated terminals in the main control box, following the diagram included in it.
Operations to carry on next:
• by the position adjusting screws, move the two microswitches close to the box inner walls;
• with MEC 200 LB overridden (see operations for manual release) move the door by hand up to the middle of the travel;
• with MEC 200 LB overridden (see operations for manual release) move the contact shaft halfway the travel;
• manually move the door to the closed position on to the door stop or very close to it;
• by a screwdriver onto the dedicated adjusting screw, drive the closing microswitch to touch the contact shaft;
• do the same with the door in the open position on to the open stop or very close to it;
• re-engage MEC 200 LB after having moved the door to the middle of the travel distance (see manual releasing section).

IMPORTANT: after having overridden the motor and manually operated the door to open and close, the position
of the limit switch contact shaft does no longer correspend to the actual position of the door.
Therefore, it is important that, after the door has been disengaged from the motor , RE-ENGAGING of the door
to MEC 200 LB is made in the very same position on which disengaging occurred.

EXTERNAL LIMIT SWITCHES
MEC 200 LB with external limit switches (recommended for doors wider than 8 meters) does not require any adjustment: the open
and close limit switches are to be positioned in a way they correspond to the actual open and closed positions of the door.
The contact striking bracket in this case is to be tted on to the upper chain section.
IMPORTANT: with this solution, it is no longer required that the door be brought back to the original position in
which it was disengaged from the motor; the action of the external limit switches always occurs in coincidence
of the opening and closing positions of the door.
