Safety Instructions
Somfy declares that this product complies with the essential requirements and other relevant
provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC. A Declaration of Conformity is available at www.somfy.com/ce.
Product can be used in the European Union and Switzerland.
Before installing your motor, carefully read all the instructions in this guide. All the
instructions given must be followed closely and this guide must be stored in a safe
place throughout the service life of your product.
Failure to follow these installation instructions may result in serious injury or
damage to the equipment. Somfy shall not be held liable in this event.
This device is not designed to be used by persons (including children) whose
physical, sensory or mental capacity is impaired, or persons with little experience
or knowledge, unless they are under supervision or have received instructions on
using the device by a person responsible for their safety.
Do not allow children to play with the fixed control devices.
Remote controls must be placed out of sight and out of reach.
If you are using a switch without a locking device***, ensure that other people
remain at a distance.
Frequently check the product to detect any defects in balance in the gate or any
signs of wear. Do not use the motor if it requires repair or adjustment.
Disconnect the supply motor during cleaning operations or other maintenance
operations.
Before installing the motor, ensure that the driven part is in good mechanical
condition, that it is correctly balanced and that it opens and closes correctly.
Ensure that any danger zones (crushing, cutting, trapping) between the driven
part and the surrounding fixed parts created by the opening of the driven part are
avoided.
Watch your gate while it is moving.
Any switch without a locking device*** must be in direct view of the driven part, but
away from any mobile parts. It must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m and
must not be accessible to the public, unless it is key-operated. Ensure that people
remain at a distance when it is in use.
Maintain a clear area of 500 mm from the end of the gate when it is completely
open.
*** example: intercom, key switch, keypad, etc.
Do not dispose of your scrapped appliances, nor your used batteries
with household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or
electrical equipment waste by relocating over to a dedicated collection
point for recycling.

lOverall dimension of the SGA (in mm)
lAmbient light detector
lMinimum clearance with gate open (in mm)
The motor’s electronic unit is fitted with an ambient light detector
which detects whether or not the cover is fitted. This means that
settings mode is only available when the cover is removed. If the
cover is fitted, the motor is in standby mode.

Preliminary operations
lStops on the gate
Stops must be set firmly in the ground so
as to limit the opening and closing travel
the leaves.
The location of these stops is determined
by the leaves’ opening angle (< or = to
120°).
The two leaves may have different opening
angles.
lTypes of gates able to be motorised
Your SGA can be used with any type of gate, provided its structure is sufficiently sturdy.
Brackets
nPoints to be checked before installing
lChecking your gate
Your gate is in good condition: It will open and close normally without being forced.
It remains horizontal as it is swinging open/closed. Opens inward.
Renfort
Patte de
fixation
lBrackets located on the gate
The fastening lugs for the motor drive’s
arms must be mounted on the horizontal
brackets of the leaves, at about 1/3 of the
height of the gate.
If there are no such brackets, use backing
plates approx. 4 mm thick.

lChecking the gateposts
The gateposts must be sturdy and at least 25 cm wide. Otherwise, your gateposts may
need servicing to ensure that they are firmly set in the ground and that the angle bracket is
securely fastened.
lQuality of gateposts’ surface
Gateposts which are not level or have a non-flat surface require the use of an intermediate
support bearing plate. Likewise, when the motor fastening lugs do not completely fit on the
gatepost or are close to the gatepost’s angle, this intermediate bearing plate (prod. 2400485)
must be attached.

Preliminary operations
nElectrical pre-wiring
To motorise your gate:
• Install a 230 V electric supply on one of the gateposts, as near as possible to the SGA
motor.
• Interconnect the gateposts using the 2 x 1 mm2cable provided (or two cables for
photocells).
Use a 25-mm-diameter Orange ICT protective sheath for burying the cables.
If you cannot dig a cable trench between the two gateposts, use a raceway that will bear the
weight of vehicles passing over it (ref. 2400484).
• Provide a ducted connection between the two gateposts to wire the photocells.

lMains power
To operate, the gate opener must be powered at 230 V, 50 Hz.
The electrical wire must be:
• Used only for the gate opener.
• Protected: — by a 10-A fuse or circuit breaker,
— by a differential device (30 mA).
• Installed in compliance with electrical safety standards in force locally.
An all-pole power disconnection means must be provided:
• either a supply cable with an electrical plugt,
• or a switch which keeps the contacts at least 3 mm apart at each pole (see standard EN
60335-1).
It is recommended to install a lightning arrestor (with a maximum residual voltage of 2 kV).

• Remove your jewellery (including bracelets and chains) during installation.
• When drilling and soldering, wear special goggles and appropriate protection.
• Use appropriate tools, as specified on page 2.
• Handle the motorisation system with caution to avoid injury.

lPhotocells (optional)
The photocells are necessary for automatic-mode operation and for gates opening onto the
public highway.
• Wiringthephotocells (see page 36)
The 24-V input and information received from the contacts (receiving cell) must be
under the cells.
Drill the gateposts to pass the ducts through them.

Preparing and drilling gateposts
1
nSteps :
oDimension measurement
The type of gate determines where the motors are to be placed.
Measure the dimensions described below to determine their position on the gateposts:
For these measurements, the leaves and their hinges are supposed to be on the same
axis. If the hinges are not aligned (offset), the leaves’ maximum opening angle will be
less than the values shown.
oDimension measurement.
oMarking the AM and AH baselines.
oDrilling the gateposts.
lMeasure dimension A
Using the table below, determine:
• the maximum opening value of the leaves,
• dimension Bto determine the vertical
positioning axis of the motors on the
gateposts.
.
D
Dimension A (mm) Maximum opening (°) Dimension B (mm)
0 120 205
0 110 160
0 105 150
50 100 150
100 95 150
≥ 150, ≤ 250 90 150
lCheck dimensions D and L
For safety’s sake, check:
• dimension Dwhich must be greater
than or equal to 405 mm,
• dimension Lwhich must be between
800 and 2,000 mm.

Using a small-diameter (4 or 5 mm)
concrete drill bit, pre-drill 4 holes for filling
with chemical sealants into each gatepost,
in the positions marked on the template.
Finish drilling the 4 holes using a concrete
drill bit whose diameter corresponds to
the chemical sealants.orrespondant aux

nSteps :
oSelecting the motors
For this step, the upper parts of the motors’ casings must be removed using a coin.
Place the motor which includes the electronic control unit on the gatepost where the power
supply is located.
oApplying the sealants.
For dependability, SOMFY advises that you fasten the motor using a chemical sealant.
oSelecting the motors.
oApplying the sealants.
oInstalling the motors.
Position the motor on the gatepost
and check that the mounting holes are
perfectly aligned with the holes drilled in
the gateposts.
1Remove the motor. Place the 4 chemical
sealants and the threaded rods into the
holes drilled in the posts.
Wait for the chemical sealants to fully
harden.
