1Safety instructions
Make sure that the hazardous areas (crushing, shearing,
wedging) between the driven part and the surrounding fixed
parts due to the opening movement of the driven part are
avoided.
Regularly inspect the state of the gate. Those gates in poor
condition should be repaired, reinforced or even changed prior
to installation. Regularly check that the screws and fastenings of
the Axovia's various components are securely tightened.
Maintain a clearance area of 500 mm at the back of each wing
when the gate is completely open.
Do not clean your Axovia with a high-pressure water flow rate
cleaning appliance.
Disconnect your Axovia from any electricity source while carrying
out cleaning operations or other maintenance operations if the
appliance is controlled automatically.
Never allow children to play near moving gates.
Never allow children to play with fixed control devices.
Always place the remote control devices out of reach of children.
Always keep a watch over your gate while it is moving.
Never handle your Axovia while it is energized or with the
battery.
Wear protective goggles during the drilling phases.

4Pre-assembly checks
When one of the motor support plate
fastening holes is either in empty
space or near the angle of the pillar,
it is absolutely essential to add a
reinforcement bracket (not
supplied).
For an opening > 90°, the
dimension of the pillar should
be 40 cm; otherwise, you MUST use
a bracket.
Pillar reinforcement bracket
If the gate does not have any wings,
provide for metal backing plates
(e.g. 40x40 mm and 4 mm thick) to
fasten the wing clevis.
For a large wing ( > 2 m ) or in
a windy region, SOMFY
recommends installation of an
electric lock.
Wing brace
5Assembly process
The AM vertical axis gives the
position of the motor/pillar
fastening plate.
B is the distance between the
gudgeon and the AM axis.
B depends on the a opening angle
of the wing:
If αα≤90˚ B = 70 mm min
If αα> 90˚ B = 150 mm
Mark out the AM axis.
Check that the open wing does
not knock against the motor.

To be on the safe side, check
distance D: distance

5Assembly process
Mark out a horizontal axis
(AH) in the middle of the
brace, perpendicular to the
wing's axis of rotation.
Extend this axis onto the
pillar as far as the
intersection with AM.
Gate with no brace: if the
gate has no no brace, place
the motors at approx. 1/3 of
the height of the wings
starting from the ground.
In addition, you will be
required to provide for
brackets for fastening the
clevises (see page 4).
Place the motor/pillar
fastening plate at a distance
of 54 mm above AH.
Mark out the drilling points
and drill them: to improve
adjustment, use the round
holes to make your mark,
drill, then turn the fastening
plate over and fix using the
oblong holes.
Check that the
plate is in a
perfectly
horizontal
position.
Mounting the fastening plate
1. Mount the fastening
gudgeons on the pillar
fastening plate, screw
them as far as the
thread will go.
2. Slide the spacers
onto the fastening
gudgeons.
3. Position and
fasten the motor.
Check that it is in a perfectly horizontal position:

5Assembly process
Open the top cover using the specific
key.
Unscrew the 2 screws on the bottom
cover and remove the cover.
Remove the opening and closing
stops by taking out the central screw.
Unlock the motor by means of the
button located on the top part of the
motor.
When in unlocked position, the
arms should be manœuvred
slowly so as to avoid any damage
occurring to the motors.
(Padlock closed: arms locked;
padlock open: manual operation).
Unlocking the motor
Do not use a tool in order not to
damage the rings.
Assemble the arms, position the
wing clevis without joining it
completely to the fastening axis.
Assembling the arms
Insert the arm into the slide and fasten it.
Self-forming screw
(there is no thread in the motor arm).
Mounting the arms on the motor

1Put the arms into the closing position
7
5Assembly process
The wings are in the closed
position, against the
central closing stop.
Unfold the arms in the
direction of the gate,
keeping a distance of
15 cm between the
fastening axis of the arms
and the fold in the arms.
4Fasten the wing clevis
Mark out the centre
distances on the wing.
Remove the arms,
Drill. Fasten the clevis.
3Position the wing clevis
Push the motor arm
flat against the inside
closing stop.
2Mount the lower closing stop
Place the lower closing
stop against the
stationary retainer
(opposite side to the
pillar/motor fastening
plate).
5Mount the upper opening stop
Open the wing
according to the
desired angle.
Place the upper
opening stop
against the
stationary retainer
(pillar/motor
fastening plate
side).
6Block the stops
Make sure that the arms are
perfectly horizontal before
drilling.

5Assembly process
Wiring the 24 VDC motor
Connect the 24 VDC power supply cable to the terminal block.
Pass it through the grommet and fasten it to the pillar.
Re-lock the motor prior to any power-up.
Electrical connection and programming
Refer to the AX24 control cabinet installation instructions.

Do not open onto the public highway!
Aset of photoelectric cells is highly recommended.
Mounting recommendation:
The motors' connection
is inverted!
The position of the arm
should be exactly the
same as in the drawing.
The motor is
placed as close
as possible to the
edge of the pillar
(dimension B = 0).
