We would like to thank you for choosing this product.
In order to obtain the best performance of the ARIETE sys-
tem, the Sesamo Company recommends that you read and
carefully follow the installation and use instructions provided
in this manual. The installation of the ARIETE system must
be performed only by professionally qualified personnel to
whom this manual is directed. Any errors during the installa-
tion phase may be the source of danger for people or things.
The packaging materials (wood, plastic, cardboard, etc.)
should not be discarded in the environment or left within
reach of children since they are potentially dangerous. Each
individual phase of the installation must be performed in con-
formity with the current regulations and, in any case, accord-
ing to the dictates of general good practices. Ensure, before
beginning the installation, that the product is integral and has
not been damaged during transport or as a result of improp-
er storage. Before installing the product ensure that each
architectonic and structural element of the entrance (beam
fastening surfaces, fixtures, guide, etc.) is suitable and suffi-
ciently sturdy to be automated. Conduct a careful analysis of
the risks and make appropriate modifications to eliminate the
areas of dragging, crushing, shearing and of danger in gen-
eral.The manufacturer of the ARIETE system is not liable for
any unobservance of general good practices or specific reg-
ulations in the construction of the fixture to be motorised and
of any failures of the same. All of the protective safety
devices of the automatic door (photocells, active sensors,
etc.) must be installed in conformity with the regulations and
directives in force, the risk analysis, the system typology, the
use, the traffic, and the forces and inertias in play.Always pay
particular attention to the zones were there may occur:
crushing, shearing, dragging and any other danger in gener-
al, placing appropriate signs if necessary. Use only original
spare parts in maintenance or repair operations. Do not
tamper with or alter for any reason the internal parts of the
ARIETE system.The manufacturer declines any responsibil-
ity in the event that the internal parts of the ARIETE system
are tampered with or used improperly. The installer of the
ARIETE system is obligated to provide the person in charge
of the automatic door with the user’s manual and all the infor-
mation necessary for a correct use. Pay particular attention
to the messages in this manual marked by the danger sign.
These may either be warnings aimed at preventing potential
damage to the equipment or specific signals of potential dan-
ger for the safety of the installer or other people involved.
This system has been designed for the breakaway of auto-
matic sliding doors in case of emergency. Any other use will
be considered contrary to the use foreseen by the manufac-
turer who, consequently, cannot be held liable.

Ariete is available in different models according to the characteristics of the leaf to which it must be coupled and on the
basis of the surface finish.
In particular, it is necessary to choose the type of system using the following stock table once the width and weight of the
leaf are known:
Ariete is available untreated or with silver-coloured
anodising treatment.
This manual does not make any distinction between
the different models available since the assembly
follows the same scheme.
ATTENTION:If the width of the leaf is greater
than 1200 mm, it is necessary to install a third
carriage to the leaf (element not provided in the KIT,
to be ordered separately).
