INSTALLATION MANUAL
Thank you for choosing a SEAs.r.l. product. This choice will give you
the opportunity to understand that our company aims at combining
high-tech and remarkable reliability and safety, thanks to studies,
research and the accurate analysis of our customers' needs, without
underminingthesimpleuseandinstallationofourproducts.
Generalfeatures
VELAis an electro-mechanical barrier (2, 3, 4, 5 m) recommended for
the automation of access points which require a high opening/closing
speed (parking lots, motorways, airports, etc.) and frequent use
features.
The automation comes with an anti-squeezing safety system
through by pass valves for the regulation of the force which doesn't
exceed15kgonthebeam,protectingpeopleandthingsfrompossible
accidents.Asystemofhydraulicdeceleration(onrequest)guarantees
the total control of the present inertial force in case of lack of power
supply and a release system allows the manual opening in case of
emergency.

8) Beambalancing
-Release the beam with manual release, so that it is
free to be opened and closed manually (Fig.18).
-Place the beam at approx. 45°.
-Loosen or tighten the spring stretching nut until the
spring counterbalances the weight of the 45° beam
(Fig. 14). The best balancing position is obtained when
the beam reaches the position shown in Fig. 14.
-After having obtained the balancing, lock the nuts of
the spring stretcher with the counter nut and re-block
the motor.

perfectly horizontal (closing stage) or vertical (opening stage) at
the end of its stroke.

NOTES
The electrical installation and the operation logics must comply with current regulations. Keep the power cables (motors, power
supply) separated from the control cables (push-buttons, photo-eyes, radio, etc.). Separate conduits should be used to prevent
noiseissues.
Note: Use “cable clips” and/or “duct/box pipes” fitting close to the control panel box so to protect the interconnection cables
againstpullingefforts.
Note: The beam is not equipped with movement inversion system in case of obstacles.To respect the laws EN 12453 and EN
12445itisrecommendedtoinsertexternaldisposalsintoit.
