3 • Turn the key 180 ° in the direction shown in the
figure to unlock.
4 • Automatism unlocked.
Note • For automatic operation, it must be locked again
by turning the key in the opposite direction.
The operator should be installed with a small declination on the front, to prevent water infiltration by the extension
arm.
To this end, the front support plate must be attached to the gate with a height lower than the height of the rear
support plate. See the example below:
Quota A •Vertical distance from the floor to the top of the rear support plate.
Quota B • Vertical distance from the floor to the top of the front support plate.
Example:
• If the height of the back support plate (Quota A) is set to 600mm, then the height of the front support plate
(Quota B) will be 590mm (600mm-10mm).
1 • Define Quota A (this can be any dimension of your choice).
2 • After defining Quota A, subtract 10mm and the result is Quota B.
HEIGHT OF THE SUPPORTS
It is very important that these quotas be respected!
Only in this way can the correct operation and durability of the automatic controls be ensured!
It is also very important that the floor is level!

INSTALLATION STEPS
Observe the installation dimensions mentioned on the previous pages.
It is important that this installation order is adhered to!
Otherwise, it is not possible to ensure a correct installation and the automatic controls may not work correctly!
2 • Fasten rear bracket
• The Rear Support must be fixed to the pillar or wall,
respecting the dimensions given on the previous pages.
This can be fixed using screws with mechanical or
chemical bushing, welding process, or other of your
choice as long as it provides an appropriate fixation of
the Support.
5 • Test motion
• Put the bolts in each holder with a small amount of
lubricant so that there is no friction. Move the gate by
hand to check that the gate opens and closes without
hindrance.This will ensure that the automation is not
subject to problems during its operation.
3 • Open the engine covers and remove the engine
bolts.
• Before installing the motor, open the covers and
remove the dowels from the brackets. At the end of the
installation, you should close the plastic covers for a
better visual finish of the operator.
1 • Fasten front bracket
• The Front Bracket should be fixed to the gate,
respecting the height and distance dimensions for the
Rear Bracket.
This can be fixed using screws, welding process, or
other of your choice as long as it provides proper
attachment of the Holder.
6 • Connect the operator to the control panel and
configure the control devices.
• With the automation already installed, connect it to the
control unit for configuration (see the control panel manual
to be configured).
You must also configure the desired control devices (con-
trols, buttons, etc.) and other additional components such
as antenna, firefly, key selector, among others.
4 • Place automation on the brackets.
• You should grease the pins before loading them.

INSTALLATION MAP
• It is important to use a stop at the opening and closing of the gate.
• If this is not observed, the automation components may be subject to unprepared effort and may be dama-
ged.
• It is important to use junction boxes for connections between motors, components and switchgear. All cables
must enter and exit under the junction box and control unit box.

• With a cloth soaked in lubricating spray, clean all
debris that accumulates in the stainless steel tube of
the automation.
• Apply a small dose of lubricating spray through the
tube and wipe dry with a dry cloth to remove excess
lubricant leaving a homogenous layer through the tube.
MAINTENANCE
All tests must be carried out by specialized technicians due to the serious danger related to the misu-
se of electrical systems!
These maintenance measures must be
carried out within 1 year to maintain the
correct functioning of the operator.
1 • Connect the power wires to the terminal, as shown.
2 • Connect the automation wires to the terminal, inserting a capacitor into the opening and closing wires.
3 • After these connections are completed, plug into a 230V / 110V outlet, depending on the motor / power unit
being tested.
CHECK MOTOR SUPPORTS
LUBRICATE PINS
CLEAN STAINLESS STEEL ARM
• Open the front and rear brackets.
• Place a small amount of lubricant in the holes that con-
tain the support bolts.
• Put the covers back on their respective holders.
• Make sure that the supports remain securely atta-
ched to the pillars and gate for proper operation of the
equipment
COMPONENTS TEST
To detect if the fault is in the control panel or the motor, it is sometimes necessary to carry out tests with a direct
connection to a 230V / 110V power supply.
For this purpose, it is necessary to insert a capacitor into the connection so that the automation can operate (check the
type of condenser to be used in the product manual).
The diagram below shows how this connection should be made and how to interleave the different wires of the
• To perform the tests you do not need to remove the automation from the place where it is installed, becau-
se in this way you can see if the automatism connected directly to the chain can function correctly.
• You must use a new capacitor during this test to ensure that the problem is not in the condenser.
