3.1 - CHECK SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMATED
AND OF THE ENVIRONMENT
•Ensurethatthemechanicalstructureofthegateissuitableforauto-
mationandcomplieswithlocalstandards.Toverifythis,refertothe

•Manuallymovethegateleavesinthetwodirections(open/closed)and
make sure that the movement takes place with a constant friction at
everypointinitscourse(thereshouldbenopointsthatrequiremore

•Ifthereisanaccessdoorinthegate,orwithintherangeofmovement
of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel and, if
necessary,provideanappropriateinterlocksystem.
•Makesurethatthegateisnotonaslope,i.e.thattheleafdoesnot

•Therearsupportbracketcanbemountedinvariousways(g.10):the
amount“C” mayvarybetween53mmand176mm.Usuallyitisaround
150mm.

We advise you to choose “A” and “B” values which are similar
to one another. By doing this, you are assured of a regular leave
movement, and minor stress to the gearmotor.
3.2 - PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
Before proceeding with installation perform the following checks in the
suggested order and check their compliance with both the data in this
paragraphandthetechnicaldatainthechapter“Producttechnicalspeci-
cations”:
1- Check that the gate leaves have dimensions and weights which fall
withinthefollowinglimits:
- maximum length 2.2 m
- maximum weight 250 kg
- opening angle of up to 120°
Theshapeofthegateandtheclimaticconditions(forexampleastrong
wind)canreducethesemaximumvalues.Inthiscase,itisnecessaryto
measure the torque required to move the leaves in the harshest condi-
tions,andcompareitwiththedatareportedinthetechnicalspecica-
tions.
2- Checkthemeasurementsofthetotalsizeofthegearmotor(g.2).
Note - These measurements also serve as a reference to calculate
the space that the foundation excavation will require for the passage
of the raceways for the electrical cables.
3- Checkthattheestimatedmaximumnumberofdailycycles(para-
graph3.2.1)iscompatiblewiththeintendeduse.

“WG2W”. Some devices and accessories mentioned in this man-
ual are optional and may not be present in the kit. For a com-
plete overview, see the Mhouse product catalogue or visit www.
