AnD ACCESSorIES

FIg.6

According to the length of the beam and the type of accesso-
ries installed, before tensioning the spring, the correct point 
to hook the spring to the lever must be selected.
The correct hooking point (“A”, “B” and “C”), must be se-
lected by taking account of table 1, according to the beam 
length and the type of  accessories to be installed.

HoW to FIX tHE BEAM 

FIg.7

Any accessories for the beam (protection edges, lights, pneu-
matic safety edges, rack, etc. ) are installed before fitting the 
beam. See relevant instructions.
Fit the beam to plate  P by using bracket S and both the 6 
screws with the corresponding washers, and plate T.
Apply the removable plastic cover C.

Should a power failure occur or in the event of faults in the 

system, the beam can be released and moved by hand:

•  Introduce the customized key in the release lever and turn 

it clockwise.

•  Turn  the  release  lever  anti-clockwise  until  the  beam  is 

released and it can be opened and closed by hand.

•  To reset the automatic operation, turn the lever clockwise 

until the beam is released. Reset the initial position.

BALAnCIng 

FIg.9

For a good operation of the road barrier, the beam must be 
suitably balanced by the spring. 
To check the correct balancing, proceed as follows.

•  Check that the spring is correctly hooked to the lever  (see 

table 1).

•  Mechanically release the road barrier through the release 

key.

•  The road beam, correctly balanced, should remain still in

Attention: 

The installation of the 

VE.rASt

 interferes with the use of the 

SC.rES

 and vice 

versa.
The installation of the 

EVA.L

 lights kit does not influence the balancing of the bar

any position:

  - if it tends to open, reduce the spring tension
  - if it tends to close, increase the spring tension 
  The spring tension can be adjusted by tightening (anti-

clockwise rotation) or loosening (clockwise rotation) the 
spring by hand. Once the spring tension is adjusted, lock 
it by moving the nut “D” in contact with cap T.

During opening as per Fig. 10:

Starting from the closing position “C”, the beam starts its 
opening until it reaches the “SWO-R” point, where the ope-
ning limit switch triggers. The opening speed can be adjusted 
through the control unit.
The beam moves for the remaining space (as shown in Fig.10) 
at a reduced speed, for a time preset by the control unit.
Therefore, the barrier reaches point A, by completing the 
opening movement.

During closure, as per Fig. 11:

The beam starts moving from the opening point “A” and stops 
at “SWC-R “ point, when the braking limit switch triggers. The 
closing speed can be preset through the control unit.
After activation of the braking limit switch, the braking cycle 
starts, ending only when the closing limit switch “C” trig-
gers.
The control unit checks the activation of the “SWC” limit 
switch and it is able to automatically offset any changes due 
to different weather conditions, for example. 
The braking angle shown in Fig.11 is fixed at around 25°. 

Adjustments of the limit switch cams, trimmers and dip-
switches should be carried out by referring to these operating 
principles.
