when there is a change to the standards or to the
drive.
Condition of the gate to be motorised
Before installing the drive, check that:
• the gate is in good mechanical condition
• the gate is stable regardless of its position
• the structures supporting the gate allow the
drive to be fastened securely. Reinforce them
if necessary.
• the gate can be correctly opened and closed
manually using a force of less than 150N.
• the temperature range marked on the drive is
suitable for the location.
NB
Do not spray water onto the drive.
Do not install the drive in an explosive environment.
WARNING
Make sure to avoid any danger zones (crushing,
cutting, trapping) between the driven part and
the surrounding fixed components caused by
the opening movement of the driven part, or that
they are indicated on the installation (see "Risk
prevention").
Permanently affix the crushing warning labels so
that they are clearly visible, or near any fixed control
devices.
Electrical installation
DANGER
The power supply installation must comply with the

4 mm thick.
Closing end stops on the ground
The gate's closing travel must be
delimited by end stops firmly anchored in
the ground.
The opening stops are built into the motor
(see "Opening stop setting", page 21).
Note: in the specific case of pillars
between 7 and 10 cm wide, built-in
opening stops cannot be used, ground-
anchored stops will be required.
Mechanical lock
If the gate is equipped with a mechanical
lock, it must be removed.
