INSTALLATION MANUAL
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Low-voltage operator (24V ) suitable for residential use. Designed for
swing gates having small-sized pillars. The operating arm, with its special
antishearing shape, allows the leaves to be manoeuvred even when the
operator is positioned well away from their fulcrum. The irreversible
electromechanical gearmotor keeps the gate locked in the closing and
opening positions.
The release lever, fitted to the outside of each operator, allows the manual
manoeuvre to be carried out very easily.
ATTENTION!
The
VIRGO
model controller is not equipped with mecha-
nical torque adjustment. It is compulsory to use a control panel of the
same manufacturer, in compliance with the basic safety requirements
of directives 2006/95/CEE, 2004/108/CEE, 2006/42/CEE equipped with
appropriate electric adjusment of the torque.
Before carrying out the manual manoeuvre make sure that this operation
will not create a dangerous situations.
Check in the relevant literature that the thermal field in the working area
is suitable for the operator.
Make sure that the movement of the door does not cause entrapment
risks between the movable and fixed parts of the door.
If swing gates with built-in doors are used, the motor must not run when
the door is left open.
WARNING!
The operator must be installed by a qualified technician as
special safety components are used for every specific site and therefore
safety depends on installation.

At the time of installing the VIRgO BAT Kit, check that the safety devices
are connected correctly.
4) OPERATOR INSTALLATION
4.1) Preliminary checks
Check that:
• The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy and rigid.
The fixing position must be worked out according to the leaf structu-
re. In any case, the manoeuvring arm must push against a reinforced
leaf point.
• The leaves can be moved manually along their entire stroke.
If the gate has not been installed recently, check the wear condition of
all its components. Repair or replace defective and worn parts.
Operator reliability and safety are directly affected by the condition
of the gate structure.
5) SUPPORT PLATE FIXING (Fig.5)
The operator is supplied with a fixing bracket and lever arm.
Having identified the leaf reinforcement point, with the gate closed,
trace an imaginary horizontal line from the centre of the reinforcement
point to the pillar (fig. 3-4).
Fig. 2 illustrates the most common types of installation:
- with the leaf hinge pivot not aligned with the fixing plate (90° opening
- maximum distance between hinge pivot and plate: 210mm).
- with the hinge pivot aligned with the fixing plate
Position the anchoring bracket observing the dimensions shown in fig.3
for opening up to 90°, or in fig.2-4 for opening over 90° up to a max of 120°.
The pillar surface, where the bracket is fixed, must be flat and parallel
to the leaf. Use screws and expansion plugs adequate for the type of
pillar. In the case where the pillar surface is irregular, use expansion
plugs with studs, in order to be able to adjust the fixing bracket parallel
to the leaf (fig.5).
• Assemble the lever arm as in fig.7.
DX = fitting to right leaf
SX = fitting to left leaf
Choose the most suitable position for fixing bracket “F” to the leaf.
• Insert lever L into the gearmotor output shaft, and fix it using appro-
priate pivot P and self-locking nut D (fig.7).
• Release the operator by activating the release lever to allow the arm
to move easily (see paragraph “EMERgENCY MANOEUVRE”).
• Open the gearmotor cover and fix it to the plate as indicated in Fig.8.
• Fix towing angle bar “F” to the leaf.
• The correct position for the operator arm is illustrated in fig.6. The leaf
attachment point can be identified by positioning the arm according
to the dimension indicated in fig.6.
• With the operator released, check the arm for correct movement.
• Repeat the same procedure for the other leaf.
6) BACKSTOP FIXING
The VIRgO operator is provided with mechanical end-of-stroke backstops,
which make the installation of ground stop plates redundant.
With reference to Fig. 10 proceed as follows:
- Identify the opening and closing end-of-stroke points and fix the
backstops accordingly.
- Fix protection cover C.
7) ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION SET-UP
Arrange the electrical installation as shown in fig.11.
Keep the mains voltage connections definitely separate from the very
low voltage connections (24V).
For this purpose, the operator is provided with appropriate fittings, indicated
in Fig.9, for a spiral flexible raceway with an inside diameter of 20:
- P1 input for mains power gND.
- P2/P3 inputs for safety devices and accessories.
For the mains power supply, use the appropriate cable clamp (Fig.9 -”S”),
the terminal bar with an incorporated protection fuse (Fig.9 -”L-N”) and
the gND terminal.
Connect the yellow/green cable to the earth terminal.
Fig.16 shows the cross-section and the number of connections.
