1. SAFETY INDICATIONS
1.1. General notes
ATTENTION: Please read the following safety indications carefully
before attempting installation of this appliance. These indications
will help you to avoid contact with electrical current, injury and
other accidents. Please keep this manual for future consultation.
The manufacturer can not be held responsible for any damages to
people, animals or things, due to inobservance of basic security
rules described in this manual.
Any use of the actuator for applications other than those indicated
must previously be authorized by the manufacturer upon technical
verification of the application
1.2. Notes for installer and user
The ALì SW electrical feeder has been designed exclusively for feeding
electrical motors functioning in low tension 24V .
The device must only be installed by competent and qualified technical
staff.
After removing all packaging, please verify that all parts of the
appliance are present.
Any plastic bags, polystyrene, or small metallic parts such as nails,
clips, etc. must be stored out of the reach of children as they constitute
potential sources of danger.
The appliance is not intended for use by people (including children)
whose physical, sensory and mental abilities are reduced, or in case of
lack of experience or knowledge; such persons must be supervised to
ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Before connecting the appliance to the electricity supply, check that the
electricity supply in use has the same characteristics as those indicated
on the technical data label on the device.
This appliance is destined exclusively for the use for which it has been
designed and the manufacture cannot be held responsible for any
damages incurred by improper use.
Installation of the device must be carried out in accordance with the
instructions set out by the manufacturer. Failure to follow these
instructions could compromise safety.

5
Electricity supply installation must be carried out in accordance with
regulations in force.
To avoid danger of lesions or death due to electrical current, we
suggest to disconnect tension from the feeding line before doing any
cable or regulation operation.
To assure a good separation from the line, install a sectioning device
with differential protection of 30mA at the start of the electrical line.
Never clean the device with solvents or jets of water.
Before doing any cleaning or maintenance operation be sure of having
disconnected the device from the line. For more certainty we suggest to
disconnect electrical connections.
Eventual repairs must only be carried out by qualified staff at a service
centre authorized by the manufacturer.
Always require exclusive use of original spare parts. Failure to comply
with this stipulation could compromise safety and forfeit warranty
benefits for the device.
In the event of trouble or doubts, please refer to your trust retailer or
directly to the producer.

4. ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
These indications are intended for the attention of technicians and specialized
personnel. Basic job and safety techniques are therefore not included.
4.1. Requirements and checks
All operations for preparation, assembly and electrical connection must be
performed by competent and specialised technical personnel to guarantee
optimal performance and good function of the appliance.
First check that the following basic conditions have been met:
 Remove the unit from its packaging and visually check for any damage that
may have occurred during transport.
 Unit performance must be sufficient to guarantee the energy required for
correct function of the motor in question, do not exceed the limits indicated
in the technical data table for the product (p. 7).
 Attention: Make sure that output tension corresponds to that required for
function of the motor in question to avoid compromising good function.
 Check that electrical wiring is appropriate and has the correct section
dimensions to comply with safety standards in force.
 Check that the casing for the unit has been correctly fitted, is easily
accessible and does not impede the control action for the motor connected.
4.2. Electrical connection to grid
 Remove the support plate and place to one side. Check the two fixing
screws are present. If not, use appropriately sized screws.
 Remove the unit from the packaging box in preparation for connection. Do
not open the plastic container, connection can be performed externally.
 Connect the two electrical grid wires to the terminals in the plastic box area
marked “100÷240VAC”. Do not connect the earth wire, the unit has double
Class II safety insulation.
 Connect the two wires supplying power to the motor to the other terminal
board marked with “24VDC”.
 Attention: terminals which have not been connected properly could
damage the appliance and compromise safety.
 Check wires have been inserted completely into the terminal and ensure
screws have been appropriately tightened.
 Remove any dust or residual waste created during connection from the
wall box (or other container) and check that the electrical wires can be
placed in position free of obstacles, crushing or damage.
 Insert the unit into the wall box.
 Check that the connectors for the cables between the unit and the touch-
switch have been inserted correctly. If cabling has been disconnected, take

7
care when inserting as the connection is polarised and there is only one
option for insertion of the connector.
 Assemble the support with the two screws already inserted.
 Re-assemble the plate by snapping into place.
 Press the button to perform test controls with forward/reverse movement
and check for correct movement of the motor. If the motor turns in the
wrong direction, invert the position of the wires on the terminal board
marked with “24VDC”.

6. LABEL DATA AND MARKINGS
The ALì SW feeders have CE marking and comply with the Standards listed in
the Declaration of Conformity. They also come with a Declaration of
Incorporation, due to their classification by the Machinery Directive as “partly
completed machines”. Both declarations are included in the final pages of this
manual. The plate data is displayed on an adhesive label placed on the outside
of the casing, which must remain intact and visible. The main information it
displays includes: manufacturer's address, product name - model number,
technical characteristics, production date and serial number.
In the event of a complaint, please indicate the serial number (SN) displayed on
the label. An explanation of the symbols used on the label to abbreviate the
technical characteristics is given in the table in the chapter on “TECHNICAL
DATA”.

7. FUNCTION OF TOUCH-SWITCH CONTROL
The ALì SW unit has been provided with a control button / switch with touch-
switch function. To control the motor connected, touch or lightly brush (without
exerting any particular pressure) the area marked with the arrows on the cover:
upwards to open and downwards to close.
The touch-switch has two functions, and can be used as a button or as a switch
in the following two ways:
1. BUTTON mode.
Button function is activated by touching one of the two arrows. Control is
instant and terminates when there is no further contact with the button.
Stoppage is also immediate.
NOTE: when controlling certain motors (for example the MR28 reduction
motor) if the motor does not start immediately this is because the motor
itself has been programmed for delayed start.
2. SWITCH mode.
Switch function activates when one of the two arrows is clicked twice.
Double click has an interval of 0.1÷0.3 seconds between the two clicks, like
that used on the mouse on a computer.
Again, control is instant and the motor will only stop when:
 The motor reaches an endpoint;
 Either one of the two buttons is touched;
 2 minutes after start function, as programmed by the manufacturer.
8. MOTOR CONTROL WITH TRADITIONAL BUTTON
The ALì SW usually runs with a touch-switch, but can also be controlled using a
conventional button / switch by making a slight and simple adjustment to the
cabling.
Using the cabling provided (for connection between the unit and the touch-
switch):
1. Cut the cable as close as possible to either one of the two connectors.
2. Separate out the four wires around 2 cm.
3. Strip the wires for connection to the button or switch.
4. Perform the electrical connection in accordance with the diagram below.
(The following diagram is an illustration of connection for the VIMAR button
series Idea, code 16145).

9
Test function to check connections are correct and that the motor turns in the
required direction. If this is not the case, invert the positions of wires 1 and 2.
9. TROUBLESHOOTING
