GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
Aproli 480 is an oil-hydraulic operator designed for on-the-door mounting and studied for opening and closing counterbalanced
tilt-up doors on residential applications.
It is compact and being oil-hydraulic it has all the advantages that such technology can ensure ie. reliability, smooth movements,
adjustable thrust power by pressure valves. Therefore it can meet any installation requirements.
The operator can be xed to the door by a specially designed bracket made of galvanized steel along with tting accessories, galvanized
as well. Two types of hardware options are possible with Aproli 480 , either a welding type or a type where no welding is required,
which is made possible by components to be assembled together.
The rotation shaft is made of hardened steel to ensure long lasting performance.
The operator is double locking type, able to lock the door by the hydraulic system in both open and closed positions.
For the Aproli 480 system to be electrically operated, it is required that an electronic control board type Elpro 6 exp be connected to
it and located in a sheltered place, allowing for all the pre-set operations be performed either in outomatic or semiautomatic modes.
Aproli 480 is designed to take a number of complementary accessories ensuring safety and proper operations in order to turn this
product into a most versatile unit, able to meet any site requirements.
A cover is available on request, made of anodized aluminium and tted with a courtesy lamp which stays on alight for a timed period
after the door is closed.
A lever-operated override system is incorporated for hand operations of the door in case of a black-out.

INSTALLATION BY HARDWARE WELDING TYPE
Before installing Aproli 480 make sure the door is adequate to be electrically operated.
If necessary reinforce the door by welding or bolting to
it a metal plate of 100 mm, 5/6 mm of thickness, allowing
for Aproli 480 xing bracket to have a stronger support
during door operations.
The bracket for the installation of Aproli 480 is to be xed in the middle of the door.

IMPORTANT: before proceeding with the installation, make sure the door can be smoothly open and closed by
hand, without any friction points.
IMPORTANT: consider that Aproli 480 and the hardware require extra counterweight to compensate the additional
weight, so that the door once automated and released for manual operations, be well balanced and able to stay
still in any position.
IMPORTANT: depending on the space, being more or less sucient, that can be available between
the system arms to be installed for automatic operations and the existing ones of the door, the
bracket is required to be mounted following the distances indicated in Pic. 6 (with the linear
arms) or in Pic. 7 (with the curved arms).

Mount Aproli 480 on to the bracket and x it by the 8 screws provided with the equipment
Proceed now to weld the tubular bar to the telescopic arms, with the door in closed position. To ensure that Aproli 480 can exert a
proper hydraulic force on to the door, note the following: the operator is factory preset for mounting a door in closed position;
rotate the operator shaft by approx. 5° degrees clockwise. The door will so get a constant pushing action to stay securely closed.
English
IMPORTANT: once Aproli 480 has been installed and in consideration of the weight of the torsion
bars, it is advised that the existing counterbalance be increased to compensate any extra load and
provide the door with proper balance since the early stage of the installation.
