INSTALLING THE DRIVE ARMS
Release the drive. Push the released drive onto the fittings and secure it by using the supplied bolts and rings.
WIRING
The 4-pole connecting cable is approx. 80 cm long and is laid in a curve to the controller or a watertight distribution box located above ground. An
approved cable is permanently installed from the distribution box onwards. The capacitor can be connected inside the distribution box or in the
controller.
Connection: Connect the capacitor across terminals CL and OP. CL and COM produce rotation direction A. OP and COM produce reversed direction
of rotation.
Always remember to earth the installation.
MAINTENANCE WORK
The drive mechanism is maintenance free. Check that the gate fittings and the drive mechanism are securely fixed at regular intervals (monthly).
Release the drive and check that the gate functions properly. Unless the gate runs smoothly it will not operate correctly with the drive mechanism. The
drive cannot eliminate the problems caused by a gate that does not work satisfactorily.
CENTRAL UNIT
it's suggested to connect the central unit as last connection
See the user manual of the central unit (ex. PCM20).
ELECTRONIC CONTROL
The control board should be the last item to be connected, i.e. mounting the motors, laying the necessary cable and fitting light barriers or contact
strips. If installation is to be performed in a permanent location, a means of disconnecting the equipment from the mains supply with a contact
clearance of at least 3 mm is needed (master switch).
Please note: in these instructions, relay contacts are designated NC (normal closed) or NO (normal open).
• NC contacts are closed and open
• NO contacts are open and close
Humidity and water will destroy the control board. Always make sure that water, humidity and condensation cannot enter the control box. It is
vitally important that all openings and cable glands are sealed so that they are watertight.
Materials required (details vary depending on particular application)
• Distribution box
• Buried cable, at least 1.5 mm

• Buried cable, at least 0.5mm

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Installing the electronic control board: the motor control board is a microprocessor-controlled electronic appliance featuring state-of-the-art
technology. It is equipped with all the connecting options and functions needed to guarantee safe operation. An overview of the wiring plan is
shown in fig. 12D. The control box incorporating the motor control board should be installed with the cable intakes pointing downwards fig. 12A. It
should not be continuously exposed to direct sunlight. The electronic equipment enables the pull and push forces to be set with great accuracy. If
installed and set correctly, the gate/door can be stopped manually. When in motion, the gate/door can be stopped at any time by operating the
remote control, the push-button or the key-operated switch.
The gate/door wing must be fitted with a robust end stop for the 'OPEN' and 'CLOSED' positions as the gate/door drive has no limit switches.
Current distribution: the cable leading from the drive arm must be laid in a standard watertight distribution box. A permanently installed cable can
be laid from the distribution box to the control unit. It is often possible to wire the drive, which is fixed beside the control unit directly to the box.
Never install distribution boxes underground.
