Safety principles
Please read all the instructions in this service manual thoroughly before installation of the product. It is necessary
to follow the instructions precisely and retain this document for the whole useful life of the product.
Failure to comply with all of the recommendations concerning installation can lead to severe injury or material
damage. POLARGOS shall not bear responsibility in such cases.
This device is not designed to be used by people (including children) with limited physical, sensory or mental
abilities, or by people without any experience or knowledge unless under the supervision of the person respon-
sible for their safety or using the instructions provided as regards operation of the device. Children are not al-
lowed to play with xed control devices. Remote control transmitters must be kept out of the reach of children.
When using a switch without interlock***, check to make sure that any other people are at an appropriate dis-
tance from the gate.
Check the installation frequently to detect any abnormalities connected with the gate balance or specic signs of
wear. Do not use the drive unit if it needs to be repaired or adjusted.
Disconnect the power supply from the device before cleaning or any other maintenance work if it is controlled
automatically.
Before installation of the drive unit, check if the driven part is in good technical condition, properly balanced and
if it opens and closes well.
Do not pass between the moving part and close xed elements in view of the danger connected with the move-
ment of the driven parts during opening (crushing, cropping, jamming).
Observe the gate during its movement.
All switches without interlock*** must be in a position from where the driven part is directly visible but also at a
suitable distance from moving elements. The switches must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m; they cannot
be generally accessible with the exception of switches requiring the use of a key.
When the gate is open completely, keep a distance of 500 mm clear behind each leaf.
After installation is completed, check the proper adjustment of the mechanism and proper operation of the pro-
tection system and any devices used to switch off the system manually.
Do not throw away unwanted devices or expired batteries together with normal household waste.
Householders are obliged to transport all unwanted electronic and electrical equipment to a special
waste collection area for their disposal and recycling.
POLARGOS hereby declares that this product conforms to the basic requirements and other relevant regula-
tions of the Directive 1999/5/CE. The Declaration of Conformity is available at www.polargos.eu. This product
is authorised for use in the European Union and Switzerland.

Preparation for assembly
Preliminary wiring system
To install the gate drive, proceed as follows:
 ● Lay down a power supply of 230 V to one of the posts and as close to the drive unit as possible.
 ● Connect the post together using a cable 2 x 1 mm2 (not included in the delivery).
Provide a shield Orange ICT Ø 25 mm for cables located underground.
If cables cannot be led underground between the posts, use a cable bush that can withstand the
weight of vehicles.
Mains supply
To ensure operation of the gate opening mechanism,
connect a power supply of 230 V – 50 Hz to it.
The electrical supply cable must be:
●Designated for the gate opening mechanism only.
Protected: - by means of a fuse or a circuit breaker 10 A,
- by means of a differential-current switch (30 mA).
●Installed in accordance with the safety standards concerning wiring systems and
effective in the country of use.
Multipole disconnection of the power supply is to be provided:
●using a supply cable with a plug
●or by means of a switch where a distance between contacts is at least 3 mm for
each pole (according to EN 60335-1).
It is recommended to install a lightning arrester (maximum residual voltage 2 kV).
