Arco 25/35 

Fig.3

 
 
Prepare the electrical system as shown in Figure 3 with reference to existing standards for electrical installations.  
Keep connections entirely independent of the operator (photocells, safety edges, control devices, etc.). Make all connections and 
safety devices in accordance with the standards for the installation as mentioned above. 
 
The main automation components are 

(fig.3): 

Control panel and integrated receiver

Pair of outside photocells

Key selector

Pair of inside photocells

Flashing Lamp

4-6 channel VARIO transmitters

ARCO Operator  

Antenna 

Warning! 

All metal parts of equipment and automation must be grounded. For actuator wiring and accessory connection, refer to the 

relevant instruction manuals. The control panels and accessories must be suitable for use and conform to current standards. 
Should the opening or closing direction be incorrect, it is possible to invert the connections of operation A and operation B (brown/black) 
on the control board. 

The first command after the power supply cut should be an opening maneuver

.

ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE

WARNING: Check that the impact force value measured at the points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than 
that specified in the EN 12453 standard

The pushing force is calibrated by means of the torque regulator in the control unit. The optimum torque must allow a complete 
opening or closing cycle with the minimum force necessary. An excessive torque can reduce the anti-crush safety. In the other 
case, an insufficient torque can impede the maneuvers. Consult the control unit’s instruction manual. 

7.

CHECKING THE AUTOMATION

Before considering the automation completely operational, the following checkings must be made with great care: 

• Check that all the components are firmly anchored.

• Check all the safeties work properly (i.e. photocells, safety edges, etc.).

• Check the emergency maneuver control.

• Check the opening and closing maneuvers using the controls.

• Check the control unit’s electronic logic in normal (or customized) operation. 

8.

USE OF THE AUTOMATION

Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start button, it is essential that all safeties are checked 
frequently. 
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist. 
Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation. 
 

9.

THE CONTROLS

The use of automation allows motorized opening and closing of the door. The controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, 
remote controlled, limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation characteristics. For details on the 
various command systems, consult the specific instruction booklets. 
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and controls.  
 

10.

MAINTENANCE 

 
When carrying out maintenance operation on the controller, disconnect it from the mains power supply. The actuator does not 
require periodical maintenance operations. 

• Check the safety devices of the gate and automation.

• Periodically check the pushing force and correct the value of the electric torque in the control board if necessary. 
• In case of unsolved operation failures, disconnect the unit from the mains power supply and ask for the intervention of qualified 

personnel (installer).  

When the unit is out of order, activate the manual release to perform manual opening and closing maneuvers.
