3 INSTALLATION
3.1 PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
a
The installation must be carried out by qualied
personnel in compliance with the current legislation,
standards and regulations, and with the instructions
provided in this manual.
Before proceeding with the product’s installation, it is necessary
to:
– check the integrity of the supply
– check that all the materials are in good working order and
suited to the intended use
– make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for being
automated
– make sure that the weight and dimensions of the gate leaf
fall within the operating limits specied in the “Product usage
limits” paragraph
– check that the force required to start moving the gate leaf
is less than half the “maximum torque”, and that the force
required to keep the gate leaf moving is less than half the
“nominal torque”; compare the resulting values with those
specied in the “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” chapter.
The manufacturer recommends a 50% margin on the force,
as unfavourable climatic conditions may cause increased
friction.
– verify that there are no points of greater friction during the
opening and closing movements along the entire gate path
– verify that there is no risk of derailment of the leaf or that it may
come off the guides
– verify that the overrun mechanical stops are sturdy enough
and that they do not deform even if the leaf should strike them
forcefully
– verify that the gate leaf is well balanced: it must not move by
itself when left in any position
– make sure that the installation area is not subject to ooding; if
necessary, the product must be installed appropriately raised
above ground level
– verify that the area where the gearmotor is installed allows for
unlocking the latter and manoeuvring easily and safely
– verify that the mounting positions of the various devices are
protected against impacts and that the mounting surfaces are
sufciently sturdy
– prevent any parts of the automation from being immersed in
water or other liquids
– keep the product away from heat sources and open ames and
acid, saline or potentially explosive atmospheres; these may
damage the product and cause malfunctions or dangerous
situations
– if there is an access door in the gate, or within its range of
movement, make sure that it does not obstruct the gate’s
normal path; install an appropriate interlock system if
necessary
– connect the control unit to an electricity supply line equipped
with a safety earthing system
– connect the gate to the earthing device in accordance with
the current legislation
– include a device on the electric power line ensuring
complete disconnection of the automation from the grid. The
disconnection device must have contacts with a sufcient
gap to ensure complete disconnection, under the Category
III overvoltage conditions, in accordance with the installation
instructions. Should it be necessary, this device guarantees
fast and safe disconnection from the power supply; it must
therefore be positioned in view of the automation. If placed in
a non-visible location, it must have a system that blocks any
accidental on unauthorised reconnection of the power supply,
in order to prevent dangerous situations. The disconnection
device is not supplied with the product.
3.2 PRODUCT USAGE LIMITS
The data relative to the product’s performances is included in
the “TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” chapter and is the only
data that allows for properly assessing whether the product is
suitable for its intended use.
The structural characteristics of the product make it suitable
for use on sliding gates, according to the limits indicated in the
following tables.
The actual suitability of the product to automate a specic sliding
gate depends on friction and on other factors, even occasional,
such as the presence of frost, which may interfere with the gate
leaf’s movement.
For an effective check, it is essential to measure the force
necessary to move the gate leaf along its entire path and ensure
that this is less than half of the “nominal torque” indicated in
“TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS” chapter (a 50% margin on
the force is recommended, as unfavourable climatic conditions
may cause increased friction); furthermore, it is necessary to
take into account that shown in the following tables to dene the
number of cycles/hour, the consecutive cycles and maximum
speed allowed.

The length of the leaf allows to determine both the maximum
number of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, while the
weight allows to determine the reduction percentage of the
cycles and the maximum speed allowed. For example, if the
leaf is 5 m long it will be possible to have 40 cycles/hour and
20 consecutive cycles. However, if the leaf weighs 650 kg,
they must be reduced to 85%, resulting in 34 cycles/hour and
17 consecutive cycles, while the maximum allowed speed is
V5: “Very fast”. To prevent overheating, the control unit has
a manoeuvre limiter that works based on the motor force and
duration of the cycles, intervening whenever the maximum limit
is exceeded. The manoeuvre limiter also measures the ambient
temperature and further reduces the number of manoeuvres in
case of particularly high temperatures.
