Life GE UNI 24R - Wiring and Connections

1 WIRING AND CONNECTIONS
• Before commencing wiring and connection work, read the SAFETY INDICATIONS AND WARNINGS and INSTRUCTIONS AND
INDICATIONS FOR INSTALLATION Chapters thoroughly.
• All wiring and connection operations must be carried out with the control unit disconnected from the electricity supply (and from
the buffer battery if present); if the disconnection device is not in view, display a sign reading “ATTENTION: MAINTENANCE WORK
IN PROGRESS”.
ThecablesusedintheinstallationmustbeIEC60335compliant.
ATTENTION: the cables used must be suited to the type of installation. It is the
Fitter’s responsibility to choose appropriate material.
•Allwiresmustbeunsheathedaslittleaspossible(6mmatthemost)
and as close as possible to the connection terminals, in order to prevent accidental
contact with live parts in the event that cables disconnect from the terminals.
•Donotpre-sealcablesthataretobexedtotheterminalswithscrews.
•Ifitispossiblethatwiressubjecttovoltagehigherthan50VoltRMSand
very low voltage safety wires may come into contact with one another, wires with
voltagehigherthan50voltRMSmustbeinsulatedwithasheath;ortheverylow
voltage safety wire must have an insulating sheath at least 1mm thick
•Allexternalconnectioncablesmustnotbeoftheattwintinselcordtype
(attwintinselcord).

1.4 List of electric cables
Depending on the installation, the type and quantity of devices installed, the cables required may vary. The table below shows the cables needed
for a typical installation.
1.2 Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with installation, the following preliminary checks must be performed on the gate and installation area:
1)Theareainwhichthecontrolunitisinstalledmustnotbepronetoooding:itisthereforeforbiddentoinstallitexcessivelyclosetotheground.
Theoptimalinstallationheightisbetween80and150cmfromtheground,theminimum40cm.
2)Theinstallationareashouldbeasshelteredaspossiblefromatmosphericagentsandmustallowthettergoodaccessibilityforinstallation
and subsequent work.
3)ThesurfacesonwhichtheGEBOXismounted(column,pillar,wall,etc.)mustbesmoothandvertical,andadequatelysolidandcompact
to allow secure fastening.
1.3 GEBOX container installation
a)RemovethecoverandhingefromtheGEBOXanddecideonthemountingposition,verifyingthat:
•itisatleast40cmfromtheground;
•theoutletofthepipehousingtheelectriccablesisjustbelowthecontainer.
b)Markthecentresofthefourclampingscrewsandmakeholesforthescrewanchors.
c)Placethescrewanchorsinsidetheholes,restthecontaineragainstthewallandfastensecurelyusingsuitablescrews.
d)Carefullycleantheinsideofthecontainertoremoveanyplasterdustorotherresidues.
e)Fitthehingeintothededicatedrecessontheleftorrightsideofthecontainer.
f)Fitthecoverontothehingethenrotatetocloseit.
g)Lockthelidbytighteningthetwoscrewsintheholesinthecornersontheoppositesidetothehinge.
h)Assemblethefourscrewcoverinsertsonthecornersofthecover.
1.3.1 Control unit extraction
In order to facilitate control unit wiring or programming, it can be pulled out of its housing without requiring the use of tools.
a)Pushthecontrolunitupwardssothattheclips(1g.4)unhookandthenpulloutwards.
b)Compatiblywiththelengthofthecables,restontheedgeofthecontainerorholdinthehand.
Once the wiring and/or programming work is complete, place the control unit back in its recess by pressing lightly until the 4 clips snap in.
1.5 Preparing the electrics and mains connection
This manual does not describe how the electrics system should be prepared for connection to the mains. It does, however, give the following
warnings:
•Themainssupplylinemustbeinstalledandconnectedbyaqualiedelectricianoraprofessionaltter.
•Theelectricitysupplylinemusthaveadequateprotectionagainstshortcircuitsandmustbeearthed.
•Thepowersupplynetworkmustcontainanomnipolardisconnectiondevicewithanopeningdistanceofthecontactsequalorgreaterthan3.5
mm that assures the complete disconnection of the power supply.
1.6 Introducing the electric wires into the GEBOX
a)Opentherequiredpre-punchedholesinthebottomofthecontainer(rememberingthatitiscompulsorytokeep230Vwiresseparatefrom
thosewithverylowvoltages).
b)Positioncableglandssuitedtomaintainingthedegreeofprotectionofthecontainerinsidetheholes.
c)Passthewiresneededfortheconnectionsthroughthecableglands,leavinganadditionallengthofapproximately40cm
d)Carefullyclosethecableglandsandsealtheendsofthetubeswithsiliconinordertopreventassesstoinsectsand/ordirt.
1.7 Control unit connections
Fittersmustmaketheconnectionsofthe230Vac50Hzelectricitysupply,themotorsandthevariousautomationdevices.Connectionsbetween
the control unit and the transformer have already been performed by the Manufacturer.
•Oncetheconnectionstothecontrolunithavebeenmade,theFittermustusebandstojoinadjacentwiresintogroupsof2,3or4inorderto
preventthemcomingawayfromtheterminalboard:bandsmustbeattachedascloseaspossibletotheterminals,nomorethan10mmaway,
taking care not to damage wire insulation. No wire should remain unmatched.
•Bandsshouldonlybettedtowireswithoutsheathes(sheathedwiresarekeptinplacebythesheath)
•Paycarefulattentionnottopairwireswithvoltageshigherthan50VoltRMDwithlowervoltagewires.
•WiringperformedinternallybytheManufacturerhasalreadybeenttedwithbandswherenecessary.
