3.1-Preliminarychecksforinstallation
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product compo-
nents, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intended installa-
tion environment.
•Ensurethatallmaterialusedisinperfectconditionandsuitableforuse.
•Ensurethatallproductapplicationlimitscanbeobserved(seeparagraph
3.2).
•Ensurethattheselectedinstallationenvironmentiscompatiblewiththeover-
all dimensions of the product (g.2).
•Ensurethattheselectedsurfacesforbarrierinstallationaresolidandguaran-
teeastablexture.
•Makesurethatthexingzoneisnotsubjecttoooding.Ifnecessary,mount
the barrier raised from the ground.
•Ensurethatthespacearoundthebarrierenableseasyandsafecompletion
of manual manoeuvres.
•Ensurethattherearenoobstaclesalongthepoletrajectorywhichpreventthe
opening and closing manoeuvres.
•Ensurethateachdevicetobeinstalledisinashelteredlocationandpro-
tected against the risk of accidental impact.
3.2 - Product application limit
Beforeinstallingtheproduct,ensurethatallvaluesspeciedinthechapter
“Technicalproductspecications”andmaximumcyclefrequencyasstatedin
Table 1 are compatible with the intended use.
– Ensure that the estimated durability (see paragraph 3.2.1) is compatible with
the intended use.
– Ensure that all limits, conditions and warnings in this manual can be observed.
3.2.1 - Product durability
The lifetime is the average economic duration of the product. The value of life-
timeisstronglyinuencedbytheintensityofthemanoeuvres,i.e.thesumofall
factors that contribute to product wear (see Table 2).
Toestimatethelifetimeofyourautomation,proceedasfollows:
01. Add the values of the items in Table 2 regarding the system conditions;
02. In Graph 1 from the value obtained above, trace vertical line until it inter-
sects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it intersects the
line of the “manoeuvre cycles”. The obtained value is the estimated lifetime
of your product.
Thelifetimevaluesspeciedinthegraphareonlyobtainableifthemaintenance
schedule is strictly observed (see chapter “Maintenance schedule”). The esti-
mation of lifetime is made on the basis of design calculations and the results of
tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estimation, it does not represent
any form of guarantee on the effective lifetime of the product.

3.4 - Barrierxture
3.4.1 - If the support surface already exists
[] Thexingsurfacemustbeperfectlysmoothandat.Ifthesurfaceisin
concrete, it must be at least 0.15 m thick, and must be adequately reinforced
with steel cages. The concrete volume must be greater than 0.2 m3(a thick-
ness of 0.25 m corresponds to 0.8 m2; in other words equal to a square base
ofapprox.0.9mperside).
Anchoringtotheconcretecanbebymeansof4expansionbolts,ttedwith12
MAscrews,whichresisttoatractionloadofatleast400kg.Ifthexingsurface
is in another material, the consistency must be checked and ensure that the 4
anchoringpointscanresistaloadofatleast1000kg.Forxture,use12MA
screws.
Proceedasfollows:
01. Open the barrier cabinet (Fig. 4);
02. Placethebarrieronthexingsurfaceandtracethepointswheretheslots

each and one on the lower side of the plate. Caution – The lower nut must
be tightened down to the threaded section;
04. Now cast the concrete, and before it sets, embed the foundation plate,
whichmustbepositionedushwiththesurface,paralleltothepoleand
perfectly level (Fig. 12). Wait for the concrete to set completely; in general,
at least 2 weeks;
05. Remove the 4 upper nuts of the bolts;
06. Open the barrier cabinet (Fig. 4);
07. Position the barrier correctly and secure by means of the relative nuts and
washers supplied with the foundation plate e moved in point 04 (Fig. 13 -
A, B).
3.5 - Pole installation
3.5.1 - Pole support assembly
01. Insert the two plugs in the relative seats on the output motor shaft (Fig.
14 - phase A and B);
02. Position the support on the output motor shaft, placing it in the “vertical
pole” position and tighten the relative screws and washers fully down to
secure (Fig. 15 - phase A and B);
03. Position the pole cover and partially secure by means of the 4 screws sup-
plied (Fig. 16 - phase A and B).
3.5.2 - Pole assembly
01. Assemble the two joints (Fig. 17); each joint is made up of 2 half-shells and
8 self-tapping screws;
02. Insertajointintherstaluminiumprole(Fig. 18 – use a rubber mallet to
insert fully);
03. Insertthejointsupportbracketsonbothsidesoftheproleslots(Fig.
19 - phase A, B, C, D), ensuring correct alignment of the brackets (use a
mallet to facilitate insertion);
04. Repeat the procedure from point 01, to insert the remaining aluminium
proles;
05. Position the holes of the joint support brackets so that they are aligned
withtheholesontheproles;
06. Secure the brackets with screws supplied for each joint (Fig. 20).
07. Lightly grease the aluminium guide on both sides (Fig. 21).
08. Performthisoperationonbothendsofthepole:inserttherstpartof
impact protection rubber in the slot, through to the end of the pole; then
insert the joint for the impact protection rubber (Fig. 22) and repeat with all
parts;
09. Position the pole plug (Fig. 23);
A) the upper impact protection must be inserted by at least 2 cm;

B) Insert the pole plug;
 C)Securetheplugusingtherelativescrew;
D)Pushtheupperimpactprotectiontowardstheplug,insertingit
by 1 cm into the plug;
10. On the opposite end to that with the plug, insert the pole support plates
(Fig. 24);
11. Insert the pole assembly in the pole support shell, pushing it up to the end
and then tighten the 4 previously inserted support screws fully down.
3.6-Manuallyreleasingandlockingthegearmotor
The gearmotor can be released manually on both sides of the barrier
asshowninFig.25:
01. Rotate the key cover;
02. Insert the key supplied and turn through 180° both clockwise and anti-
clockwise;
03. To lock the gearmotor, rotate the key through a further 180° in the same
direction as before.
3.7 - Mechanical stop adjustment
01. Release the gear motor manually (see paragraph 3.6);
02. Manually move the pole through a complete Opening and Closing manoeu-
vre;
03. Then adjust the mechanical stop screws (Fig. 26 and 27) to align the pole
vertically and horizontally;
04. Tighten down the nuts.
3.8 - Pole balancing
The pole needs to be balanced to establish the best balance between two fac-
tors:theweightofthepoleandanyaccessoriesandthecounterposedforceof
the balancing spring. The latter individually guarantees balancing of the pole; if
this rises or lowers, proceed as described below.
01. Release the gear motor manually (see paragraph 3.6);
02. Manually move the pole to mid-travel (45°) and leave stationary. Then
ensure that the pole remains still in position. If the pole tends to lift, reduce
the tension of the spring, if the pole tends to drop, increase the tension of
the spring. To modify spring tension, see point 04;
03. Repeatpoint02positioningthepolealsoatapprox.20°andapprox.70°.
If the pole remains still in position, this means that balancing is correct; a
slightoffbalanceisadmissible,butthepolemustnevermovesignicantly.
The off-balance value is only acceptable when the force required to move
the pole (measured at right angles to the pole and at 1 m from the rotation
axis)onOpening,Closingandinallotherpositions,doesnotexceedhalf
thevalueofthemaximumtorque(forthisproduct,approx.5kgat1m).
04. - If the pole is not correctly balanced; to balance move the pole to the
maximumopeningposition.
- Detach the balancing spring from its seat (Fig. 28) and move its anchor-
ing point towards the centre, to reduce spring tension, or outwards to
increase spring tension;
05. Lock the gear motor (see paragraph 3.6).

IMPORTANT!–NEVERCONNECTDEVICESOTHERTHANTHOSESPE-
CIFIED.
4.2 - Initial start-up and electrical connections
CAUTION!–Thenalconnectionoftheautomationtotheelectrical
mainsmustbemadeexclusivelybyaqualiedskilledtechnician,in
observanceofcurrentlocalstandards.
Connect the control unit to an electric power line equipped with an earthing
system. The power supply line must be protected by suitable magneto-thermal
and differential switches. Envisage a mains disconnect device, with a contact
opening distance that ensures complete disconnection in the conditions of
overvoltage category III, or envisage a plug and socket system.
Afterpoweringupthecontrolunit,performthefollowingchecks:
•Makesurethatthe“Bluebus”LEDashesquicklyforafewsecondsandthen
regularlywithafrequencyofaboutoneashpersecond.
•Ifphotocellsarepresent,checkthattheledsonthelatteralsoash(bothon
TXandRXelements);thetypeofashisnotsignicantasthisdependson
other factors.
• CheckthatthedeviceconnectedtotheFLASHoutputisoff(withfactorysetting).
•Ensurethatthelightonthecontrolunitisswitchedoff.
Iftheaboveconditionsarenotsatised,switchoffthepowersupplytothe
control unit and check the electrical connections previously made.
For more useful information see also chapter “7 Troubleshooting”.
4.3 - Pre-set functions
The control unit is equipped with a series of programmable functions, which
are factory set with the most commonly used values. These values can be
modiedatanytime:Seechapter6.
4.4-Recognitionoftheconnecteddevices
After the initial power-up, the control unit must be able to recognise the devices
connected on the inputs “Bluebus” and “Stop”.
CAUTION!–Thelearningphasemustbeperformedevenifnodeviceis
connected to the control unit.
To indicate whether this operation is necessary, leds “L1” and “L2” on the con-
trolunitemitanumberofashes.
01. Press and hold down “Open” and “Set” keys at the same time (Fig. 32).
02. ReleasethekeyswhenLEDsL1andL2startashingquickly(afterapprox.
3 seconds).
03. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to complete the device learning
phase. At the end of this phase, the “Stop” led must be lit and leds “L1”
and“L2”mustturnoff(leds“L3”and“L4”maystartashingtoindicate
that the positions have not be learnt).
Thisproceduremustberepeatedinthecaseofmodicationstothedevices
connectedtotheterminalsBlueBusandStop;forexample,afterconnectinga
new device to the control unit.
4.5 - Recognition of limit positions on opening and closing
After learning the connected devices, the control unit also has to learn the posi-
tions of the mechanical stops. In this phase, the pole travel distance is read,
measured from the closing mechanical stop to the opening mechanical stop.
01. Manually release the gearmotor (see chapter 3.6) and manually position
thepoleatapprox.45°(mid-travel);
02. Lock the gear motor (see paragraph 3.6);
03. Press and hold down “Close” and “Set” keys at the same time (Fig. 33).
04. Releasethekeyswhenthemanoeuvrestarts(afterapprox.3seconds);
05. Wait a few seconds for the control unit to complete the position learning
phase:poleclosing,openingandclosing.
06. Press “Open” for the pole to run a complete Opening manoeuvre.
07. Press “Close” for the pole to run a complete Closing manoeuvre.
During these manoeuvres, the control unit memorises the force required to
complete these manoeuvres.
CAUTION!–Thelearningphasesmustneverbeinterrupted. If this
occurs, the entire learning procedure must be repeated.
Attheendofthelearningphase,ifleds“L3”and“L4”ash,thismeansthat
there is an error. The phase for learning the mechanical stops can be repeated
atanytime,alsoafterinstallation(forexample,ifthepositionofamechanical
stop is moved).
IMPORTANT – The deceleration points are calculated automatically by the
control unit; after the position search phase, at least 2 or 3 complete manoeu-
vres must be performed before that control unit can correctly calculate the
points of deceleration.
4.6-Polemovementcheck
After learning the devices and completing the 2-3 manoeuvres to calculate
deceleration, a number of Opening and Closing manoeuvres should be per-
formed to ensure correct pole movement.
CAUTION!–Allelectricalconnectionsmustbemadewiththeunitdis-
connectedfromthemainspowersupply.
01. Loosen the screws of the cover (Fig. 29);
02. Route the electric cables inside X-Bar, starting from the base towards the
control unit and routing them to the left;
03. Connect the wires of the electric power cable to the 3-contact terminal
with fuse and secure the cable with the collar (Fig. 30);
04. Connect the other cables as shown in the wiring diagram in Fig. 31.
Note – To facilitate cable connections, the terminals can be removed from
their seats.

5.1 - Testing
The sequence of operations to be performed for testing refers to a standard
system (Fig. 1) classed for “untrained users” and the automation activation
set to “automatic control” which envisages, as a minimum protection level of
the primary edge, device types C (force limitation - see standard EN 12445)
combined with device types D (presence detectors, e.g. photocells). Bearing
in mind that this type of use is among the most intensive, the same testing
sequence can be effectively implemented in less intensive conditions.
1 Ensurethatallspecicationsinthismanualhavebeenobserved,withspe-
cial reference to the chapter “1 Safety Instructions”.
2 Check correct balancing of the pole, see paragraph 3.8.
3 Check correct operation of the manual release, see paragraph 3.6.
4 Using the transmitter or key-operated selector switch, perform tests of
opening, closing and stopping the barrier, and ensure that pole movement
correspondstospecications.Testseveraltimestocheckforpolemove-
ment and any defects in assembly or adjustment and any possible points of
friction.
5 Check operation of all system safety devices one at a time (photocells, sen-
sitive edges, etc.). Each time a device is activated the “Bluebus” LED on
thecontrolunitmustashrapidlytwicetoconrmacknowledgementofthe
event.
6 Checkcorrectoperationofthephotocellsasfollows:dependingonwheth-
er one or two pairs of photocells have been installed, one or two parallelepi-
peds in rigid material are required (e.g. wooden panels) with the measure-
ments70x30x20cm.Eachparallelepipedmusthavethreesides,onefor
