1. INSTALLATION
The product may only be installed by a qualied tter. The manufacturer, Tau, declines all liability for damage to property and/or injury to
people deriving from the incorrect installation of the system or its noncompliance with current law (see Machinery Directive).
Product installation must NOT be performed on gates that open / close on sloping ground.

Place the control unit (external versions) in the immediate vicinity of the motors.
Be careful not to run cables for auxiliary devices inside raceways housing other cables supplying power to large loads
or lights with electronic starters.
In the event control pushbuttons or indicator lights are installed inside homes or oces several metres from the actual
control unit, it is advisable to decouple the signal by means of a relay in order to avoid induced interference.
OVERALL DIMENSIONS
Figs. 3,4 show the main overall dimensions for the sliding gate; gs.5-6 show the dimensions of the foundation counterplate.
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Carefully read the instructions contained in the handbook before starting work.
Before proceeding with installation, make sure that all the components are present, use suitable work equipment and do not touch live electrical parts.
CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with installation check that:
- The wheels of the gate are mounted in such a way as to make it stable and that they are in good condition and perfect working order;
- The whole of the slide rail is unobstructed, straight and clean and a travel stop is tted at either end.
INSTALLATION DISTANCES
To install the gear motor correctly, make sure it is at a distance of 65 mm from the gate.
See g. 7 for xing to a concrete oor, g. 8 for digging and g. 9 for positioning the counterplate.
2. PREPARING THE BASE
Dig foundations at least 15 cm deep and suciently wide. Use protective sheaths for the cables.
FIXING THE FOUNDATION COUNTERPLATE
Fill the hole with concrete and sink the bet pins into it; the counterplate must be perfectly at at 1 or 2 cm from the level of the nished oor and at
a distance of approximately 65 mm from the gate.
NB: it is also possible to install the gear motor without the foundation counterplate by using four foundation bolts on a at concrete base; the
measurements shown in g. 7 must always be respected.
A height-adjustable counterplate may be used for model BIG25QI; in this case, the xed bent pins must be welded to the rail, see g. 10/a.
This makes it possible to adapt the gear motor to a pre-existing system; the measurements shown in g. 10/b must be respected.
3. ANCHORING THE GEAR MOTOR
Tighten the screws (as shown in g. 11) on both sides of the gear motor. Fit all the cables into the sheath, which passes through the hole made
in the base of the foundation counterplate.
4. FIXING THE RACK
Prepare the rack with the relative brackets (g. 12).
Place the rack on the motor pinion (released) respecting the distance between the tooth of the gear and the tooth of the rack as shown in g.
13. Make a hole in the leaf at the centre of the slot and x with the relative screws. Slide the leaf along the pinion and x each bracket in turn.
ENGLISH

5. FIXING AND ADJUSTING THE LIMIT SWITCH SHOES
Fix the shoes as shown in g. 14, one near either end of the rack. Move the leaf by hand and position the shoes so that they touch the micro-
switch lever just before the leaf hits the travel stops at both ends of the rail; then tighten the screws.
A single factor or combination of factors (thermal expansion, climate, frequency of use, etc.) may result in the position the
gate stops in changing over the course of the day, both when opening and when closing. Consequently, we cannot guarantee
that the gate will always stop in the same position.
6. ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL CLUTCH
Before starting, make sure to disconnect the gear motor from the power supply.
BIG25QI: Make a 1/2 or a whole turn at a time using the supplied wrench (g. 15).
BIG40QI: After removing the lock nut (1 g. 16A) and the stop dowel (2 g. 16A), adjust the thrust force using the hex wrench provided
(3 g. 16B) (rotate clockwise to increase the thrust force, rotate counter-clockwise to decrease it). After adjusting as needed,
reassemble the stop dowel (2 g. 16D) until it reaches the mechanical stop, then fasten the lock nut (1 g. 16D).
7. VERSION WITH CHAIN PINION: BIG25QI / BIG40QI
The door can also be power-operated with the version with chain pinion as shown in g. 17.
8. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
For electrical connection, please refer to the specic instructions for each electrical control panel. The following tips apply to all models.
Do not put the power cables in the same sheath as the motor cables. Always choose the shortest routes for the cable lines. Make sure the
equipment is well earthed. A general switch should be tted to the system, out of reach of unauthorised people, allowing power to be discon-
nected from the gear motor for maintenance purposes or if the gear motor remains inactive for a long period.
9. MANUAL RELEASE
In the event of a power failure, use the manual release device to move the gate. Remove the plastic cover over the lock, insert the key and
remove the small safety guard.
BIG25QI: Turn the handle clockwise (g. 18).
BIG40QI: Using the hex wrench provided, rotate the release assembly counter-clockwise at least one complete turn (g. 19B). To restore
normal operation, simply tighten the release assembly (1 g. 19A) by screwing it in until it reaches the mechanical stop.
It is mandatory, at least once a year, to perform the unlocking test. Once the gate has been unlocked, if it is blocked or
particularly heavy to move manually, it is suggested to knock slightly with a hammer on the release screw (g. 19C). This is
in order to detach the clutch plates.
10. LIMIT SWITCH
The gear motors in the BIG series have been designed to work with an electromechanical limit switch featuring a single dual-eect switch.
Cable connections:
1 = common
2 = blue (common)
3 = brown (close L.S. – N.C. contact)
4 = black (open L.S. – N.C. contact)
11. WARNINGS
The tter is responsible for ensuring the system can be used correctly and functionally. He must also provide it with all the safety devices and/
or signals required to ensure it complies with current law. Make sure that each single device is in perfect working order.
As regards vertical tubular gates, the system must be tted with a protective mesh covering the whole surface of the gate.
Put up easy-to-read signs informing people that the gate is powered.
It is forbidden to use the equipment for other purposes or in other circumstances than those mentioned.
In particular:
1 do not touch the equipment with wet hands;
2 disconnect the power supply before opening the control box and/or the gear motor;
3 do not pull the power cable to remove the power plug;
4 do not touch the motor unless you are sure it has cooled down;
5 only move the gate when it is completely visible;
6 do not approach the gate if this is moving: wait until it has stopped;
7 do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
8 do not allow children or unauthorised people to use the remote control or other control devices;
9 carry out routine maintenance;
10 in the event of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so.
12. MAINTENANCE
Attention: only the maintenance man, who must be a specialised technician, is allowed to operate the automatic system during maintenance.
The power supply should therefore be disconnected. If the power supply must be left on for certain operations, each control device should be
checked or disabled (remote controls, push button strips, etc.) except for the one used by the maintenance man.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
ENGLISH

15
Each of the following operations must be carried out when necessary and always every 6 months.
Gate: check the general condition of the gate.
Automation system:
1 check the safety devices.
2 regularly grease the release device
EXTRAORDINARY MAINTENANCE OR BREAKAGE
If major work on electromechanical parts must be carried out, the faulty part should be removed and repaired in the workshop by the manu-
facturer’s or other authorised technicians.
