Automated system for residential sliding gates with leaves up to 7m long and 500 kg in weight.
It consists of a reversing electro-mechanical gearmotor, powered by a 24V control unit.
The automated system houses a programmable electronic control board that enables setting of
function logics, work time and pause time, anti-crushing sensitivity as well as partial-opening
width.
The reversing system guarantees the gate will automatically lock when the motor is not
operating.
A release system enables the gate to be moved by hand in case of malfunction or emergency.
The automated system was designed and built for controlling sliding gates. Do not use for any
other purpose.

Note:
1) To lay down electric cables, use rigid and/or flexible adequate tubes.
2) To avoid any kind of interference, always separate low voltage connection cables from
AC230V power
cables.
3) The description of system is standard system, but we did not provide all parts. If you want
system accessories, please contact us.
You must check the operator packing before installing the automated system.

7.1. Preliminary checks
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following
conditions are applied:
- The structure of the gate must be suitable for being automated. In particular, check that the
structure is sufficiently strong and rigid, and that its dimensions and weight conform to those
indicated in the technical specifications;
- Make sure that the gate slides without any inclination;
- Make sure that the gate moves uniformly and correctly, without any irregular friction during its
entire travel;
- The soil must permit sufficient stability for the expansion plugs securing the foundation plate;
- Remove any locks and lock bolts. We advise you to have any metalwork carried out before the
automated system is installed.
7.2. Preparing the foundation plate
Fit the 4 supplied nuts, as shown in Fig. 07 and Fig. 08, in the 4 holes of the plate.
7.3. Preparing the foundation plate

a) The foundation plate must be located as shown in Fig. 9 a (right closing) or Fig. 9b (left closing)
to ensure the rack and pinion match correctly.

Fig. 12
b) Put the foundation plate to the floor, using adequate expansion plugs and provide one or more
tubes for routing the electric cables through the plate (Fig10 and 11).
Using a level, check if the plate is perfectly horizontal.
7.4. Positioning the operator
Lay the electric cables to connect motor to accessories and power supply as shown in Fig. 4.
To facilitate making the connections, allow the cables to project by the required length for
connection to the control board, transformer and etc (if provided).
Position the operator on the plate, using the supplied screws as shown in Fig. 12.

7.6. Fixing operator
Fix the operator slightly tightening the screws as shown in Fig. 14.
After fixing the motor install battery holder (Fig. 16), fixing the transformer with a screw and nut
(Fig. 17) and the battery (Fig. 18).

When installing nylon rack, make the application following the same steps described in the
previous paragraphs.
Start by placing the gate in the closed position, support the first meter of rack pinion on the
engine and keeping it level horizontally, screw the first screw.
Go opening the gate and tightening the remaining bolts.
Continue adding more rack parts and repeating the same steps to complete the installation.

- Prepare the rack to be applied.
Putting these spacers in all holes of the
rack in order to be completely secure.
7.8. Installing the rack
a) Manually put the gate leaf in the closed position.
b) Positioning the first rack part to be bolted, supported on the pinion and with help of the level
and clamping tool, keep it horizontally leveled.
c) Move the gate to manually back and forth, to ensure that the gear rack is properly seated on
the pinion and movement occurs smoothly.
d) Set the rack in the gate. (Fig. 21) .To ensure a correct fixation, can go slowly moving the gate
and setting the gate spacers always near the pinion.
e) Pull another element of the rack above, using a piece of additional rack teeth to synchronize
the two elements (Fig. 22).
f) Use a level again to make sure that rack is perfectly level.
g) Manually move the gate and carry out the operations of attachment such as with the first
element, proceeding up to the end of the gate.
NOTE: This motor can work with all types of racks.

8) MAINTENANCE
NOTES:
- Make sure that, during the gate travel, all the rack elements mesh correctly with the pinion.
- Do not, on any occasion, weld the rack elements either to the spacers. For fixing these, use
screws and washers like in the Fig.20.
- Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack and pinion.
a) After having rack nstalled, take the gate back to the closed position and position the limit
swicth plate on the rack. In this closed position, the plate should trigger the limit switch of the
motor.
b) Tighten the screws DIN912 M5x12 included in the pack, until it touches the rack, squeezing it.
c) Move the gate to the open position and repeat the same process for the other limit switch
plate.
Carry out the following operations at least every 6 months.
- Check the efficiency of the release system.
- Check the efficiency of the safety devices and accessories.
