) must be used
and a safety earthing system must be installed near the
automation.
Note 2 These two cables can be replaced by a single 4 x 0.5 mm

Before proceeding with the installation, prepare the
required electrical cables by referring to “Figure 5”
and to that stated in the “TECHNICAL SPECIFICA-
TIONS” chapter (page 31).
a
The cables used must be suited to the type of envi-
ronment of the installation site.
a
When laying the pipes for routing the electrical ca-
bles, take into account that any water deposits in
the junction boxes may cause the connection pipes
to form condensate inside the control unit, thus
damaging the electronic circuits.
“Figure 6” shows typical installations for a protruding and non-pro-
truding overhead door.

For installation on protruding and non-protruding
doors, accessory SPA5 is required.
