WIRING

WARNING! For connection to the mains power supply, use: a multicore cable with 

a cross-sectional area of at least 5x1.5mm

2

 or 4x1.5mm

2

 when dealing with three-

phase power supplies or 3x1.5mm

2

 for single-phase supplies (by way of example, 

type H05 VV-F cable can be used with a cross-sectional area of 4x1.5mm

2

). To con-

nect auxiliary equipment, use wires with a cross-sectional area of at least 0.5 mm

2

.

-  Only use pushbuttons with a capacity of 10A-250V or more.

-  Wires must be secured with additional fastening near the terminals (for example, 

using cable clamps) in order to keep live parts well separated from safety extra 

low voltage parts.

-  During installation, the power cable must be stripped to allow the earth wire 

to be connected to the relevant terminal, while leaving the live wires as short 

as possible.  The earth wire must be the last to be pulled taut in the event the 

cable’s fastening device comes loose.

WARNING! safety extra low voltage wires must be kept physically separate from 

low voltage wires.

Only qualified personnel (professional installer) should be allowed to access 

live parts.

CHECKING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM AND MAINTENANCE

Before the automated system is finally put into operation, and during maintenance 

work, perform the following checks meticulously:

- Make sure all components are fastened securely.

- Check starting and stopping operations in the case of manual control.

- Check the logic for normal or personalized operation.

- For sliding gates only: check that the rack and pinion mesh correctly with 2 mm 

of play along the full length of the rack; keep the track the gate slides on clean 

and free of debris at all times.

- 

For sliding gates and doors only: make sure the gate’s running track is straight 

and horizontal and that the wheels are strong enough to take the weight of the 

gate.

- 

For cantilever sliding gates only: make sure there is no dipping or swinging 

during operation.

- 

For swing gates only: make sure the leaves’ axis of rotation is perfectly vertical.

- Check that all safety devices (photocells, safety edges, etc.) are working properly 

and that the anti-crush safety device is set correctly, making sure that the force 

of impact measured at the points provided for by standard EN 12445 is lower 

than the value laid down by standard EN 12453.

- Impact forces can be reduced by using deformable edges.

- Make sure that the emergency operation works, where this feature is provided.

- Check opening and closing operations with the control devices applied.

- Check that electrical connections and cabling are intact, making extra sure that 

insulating sheaths and cable glands are undamaged.

- While performing maintenance, clean the photocells’ optics.

- When the automated system is out of service for any length of time, activate the 

emergency release (see “EMERGENCY OPERATION” section) so that the operated 

part is made idle, thus allowing the gate to be opened and closed manually.

- If the power cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or their 

technical assistance department or other such qualified person to avoid any risk .

- If “D” type devices are installed (as defined by EN12453), connect in unverified 

mode, foresee mandatory maintenance at least every six months

WARNING! 

Remember that the drive is designed to make the gate/door easier to use and 

will not solve problems as a result of defective or poorly performed installation 

or lack of maintenance

SCRAPPING

Materials must be disposed of in accordance with the regulations in force. There 

are no particular hazards or risks involved in scrapping the automated system. For 

the purpose of recycling, it is best to separate dismantled parts into like materials 

(electrical parts - copper - aluminium - plastic - etc.).

DISMANTLING

If the automated system is being dismantled in order to be reassembled at another 

site, you are required to:

- Cut off the power and disconnect the whole electrical system.

- Remove the actuator from the base it is mounted on.

- Remove all the installation’s components.
