Standard System  
Overview and Safety 
Zones 

 

The system display to the right is a 
recommended standard system. 
Other approved accessories can be 
installed. Photo sensors and a flash-
ing light indicating gate movement 
is recommended for safety purposes. 

IMPORTANT 
Preliminary Checks: 

To ensure  safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following condi-
tions are observed. 
 

• 

The gate and post must be suitable for being automated. Check that the structure is suffi-
ciently strong and rigid, and its dimensions and weights conform to those  
indicated in section 1. In particular, wheel diameter must be in relation to the weight of the 
gate to be automated.  Dimensions and weight must match those indicated in the technical 
specifications. 

• 

Make sure the leaves move smoothly without any irregular friction during entire travel. 

• 

The soil must permit sufficient stability for the expansion plugs securing the foundation 
plate. 

• 

Check if the upper guide and travel limit mechanical stops are installed. 

 
We advise you to have any metalwork carried out before the automated system is installed.

Notes: 

1) Do not extend operator connection cables 

            2) When laying electrical cables, use  
                 appropriate rigid and/or flexible tube 
            3) Do not run any wires in the same conduit as  
                110 AC power that may be in the area. This  
                 will cause unwanted interference
