2.1 Introduction
MATRIX range is the new Proteco's electromechanical rack-driven motor generation designed to automate sliding gates in residential, block and
industrial areas.
Any other use than that described is to be considered improper and prohibited.
All models grant the mechanical locking of the gate with an irreversible gear system; it is therefore not necessary to install any type of lock.
MATRIX works by electricity, in case of power cut the motor can be manually unlocked using a special lever system protected by key.

2.6 Duty cycles
The calculation of cycles refers to a gate of standard length, installed
according to the standards in force, free from mechanical and/or
accidental friction, with an outside temperature of 20 ° C, as per EN
60335-2-103 regulations.
The number of working cycles depends very much on the length
and weight of the gate, as well as the Matrix model choosen for the
installation.
Table 1: Gate Length
Table 2: Reduction of duty cycle rate according to gate weight
Example:
Gate length 10 m, gate weight 1500Kg, Matrix 2500
14 x 0,7 (70%) = 9,8
Approximately 10 cycles per hour
In addition, there may be other factors that can affect the shelf life
of the product.
Factors may vary depending on the environment in which the automation
is installed.
2.7 Life line
The life of the gearmotor may be affected by multiple waste factors.
The life expectation can be calculated using the criteria outlined in
the below table.
In order to get the waste rate add together all values that comply
with the installation scenario and according accessories.
ATTENTION:
If the waste rate obtained is beyond 10, move to a superior
versioninordertofullltheexpectedperformances.
