INSTALLATION
6.1 - Pre-installation checks
Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product com-
ponents, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intended instal-
lationenvironment:
• Check that all the materials are in good working order and suited to the
intended use.
•Check that all conditions of use fall within the “application limits” of the
product(paragraph6.2)andthevaluelimitsshowninthe“Producttechnical
characteristics”.
• Check that the installation location is compatible with the overall dimensions
of the product (Fig. 9).
• Check that the surface chosen for installing the product is solid and can
ensure stable attachment.
•Makesurethattheinstallationareaisnotsubjecttoooding;ifnecessary,the
product may be installed, appropriately raised above ground level.
• Check that the space around the product allows safe and easy access.
• Check that all electrical cables to be used belong to the type listed in Table 1.
• Check that the automation has mechanical stops in both the opening and
closing phases.
IMPORTANT!
Before performing any type of operation or
procedure, read carefully the general instructions
(page 1) and the application limits (paragraph 6.2)

CAUTION! – The control unit described in this instruction manual
cannot be used in areas subject to the risk of explosion.
Important – Before installation, prepare the electrical cables required for the
system, by referring to “Table 1-Technicalspecicationsofelectricalcables”
.
Caution! – When laying the ducting for routing the electrical cables and for
the cable entry point into the control unit housing, be aware that due to pos-
sible deposits of water in the junction wells, the connection ducts might create
condensate in the control unit, with consequent damage to the electronic cir-
cuits.
6.3 - Installation of the control unit
Proceedasfollowswheninstallingthecontrolunit:
01. Open the control unit box: unscrew the screws as shown in Fig. 10-A /
Fig. 10-B;
02. Prepare the holes for routing the electrical cables for the accessories pro-
vidingcontroland/orsignallingfunctions.Forthispurpose,werecommend
using a special tool (e.g. hole cutter) on the marked positions at the bottom
ofthebox,alsotoensuremaintainingthelevelofIPprotection.Ifneces-
sary, you can use the lateral cable entry points, but only by using suitable
ducting connections;
