To lay cables, use adequate rigid and/or flexible tubes
Always separate connection cables of low-voltage
accessories from power cables. To prevent any interference
whatsoever, use separate sheaths.
3. INSTALLING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
3.1. PRELIMINARY CHECKS
To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system,
make sure the following conditions are observed:
When moving, the beam must not, on any account, meet any
obstacles or overhead cables.
The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation plinth.
There must be no pipes or electrical cables in the plinth excavation
area.
If the barrier body is exposed to passing vehicles, install, if possible,
adequate means of protection against accidental impacts.
Check that an efficient earth socket is available for connecting
the upright.
3.2. MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLATE
Assemble the foundation plate as shown in fig. 5.
Make a foundation plinth as shown in fig. 6.
Plinth dimensions must be adequate for the type of installation
and soil.
Wall the foundation plate as shown in fig. 6, supplying one or
more sheaths for routing electrical cables.
The rounded part of the foundation plate must face the internal
part of the passage to be automated.
Using a spirit level, check if the plate is perfectly level.
Wait for the cement to set.
3.3. MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
Remove the 4 upper nuts from the foundation plate.
Remove both screws securing the upper cover, see Fig.7, ref.
a
.
Fit the release key into the lock of the cover, Fig. 8, and turn it
clockwise until it stops.
Keeping the key in this position, remove the upper cover,
Fig. 8.
Remove the panel as shown in fig. 9.
Place the upright on the four threaded tie-rods as shown in fig.
10 and tighten the four fixing nuts.
Prepare the automated system for manual operation, see
paragraph 7
Place the spring rod, Fig. 11 ref.
a
, horizontally.
Secure the spring plate, as shown in fig. 12, according to the
closing direction:
If the rod closes to the left of the upright,
right hand installation
,
the plate must be secured on pin
b
, fig.11.
If the rod closes to the right of the upright,
left hand installation
,
the plate must be secured on pin
c
, fig. 11.
Turn the spring plate to the position shown in fig. 13, according
to the installation type (right hand or left hand).
Place the rod plate in the front part of the automated system
keeping it horizontally, Fig. 14.
For the RAINBOW 724 C model, pay attention to the
orientation of the holes indicated in Fig. 14 ref.
a
: the holes
must be on the plate top part.
Secure the rod plate using relevant screw and washer, Fig.15.
3.4. ASSEMBLING THE ROD
To assemble the rod, you should remember that:
The rubber edge, with the rod in closing position, must face the
ground.
The hole on the rod must be coupled with the pin coming out of
the driving plate.
Operate as shown in fig. 16.

Place the rod on the central pin with the rubber edge faced
downward.
Place the fixing pocket, fig. 16 ref.
a
, and secure it using the
supplied screws.
Pay attention to the orientation of the holes, fig. 16 ref.
b
, in
correspondence with the holes on the rod plate.
Assemble the cover as shown in fig. 17, according to the type of
automated system and installation (left hand or right hand).
Secure the cover as shown in fig. 18.
3.5. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE BALANCING
SPRING
To operate correctly, the automated system must be equipped
with one or two balancing springs that must be ordered separately
according to the automated system model, to the rod type and
to any selected accessories.
To install and adjust the spring, follow the instructions below:
Move the beam into vertical position and prepare the
automated system for normal operation, see paragraph 8. Make
sure that the rod cannot be moved by hand.
Place the spring or the springs in the spring plate as shown in
fig. 19.
Place the other spring plate and its relevant tie-rod, fig. 20 ref.
a
and
b
on the other end of the spring; secure the whole part
in the hole on the upright. Fit the fixing nut, fig. 20 ref.
c
.
Tighten the nut, fig. 20 ref.
c
, to eliminate any spring
clearance.
Prepare the automated system for manual operation adjusting
the release device as shown in paragraph 7.
By means of the bottom nut, Fig. 20 ref.
c
, start to tension the
spring.
The spring is correctly tensioned when, after having positioned
the rod to 45°, it stands still.
7.
After you have adjusted the spring, block the tie-rod position
tightening the counter-nut, fig. 20 ref.
d
.
3.6. ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL STOPS
Two mechanical stops are provided on the upper part of the
upright, Fig. 21 ref.
a
and
b
.
To adjust the position of the stops, operate as follows:
Manually move the rod into closing position.
Loosen the fixing nuts, fig. 21 ref
c
.
Using the screw, move the rod into horizontal position.
Tighten the fixing nut.
Move the rod into vertical position and do the same for the
other mechanical stop.
We recommend you to grease both mechanical stops pe-
riodically.
3.7. ADJUSTING THE TRAVEL LIMIT DEVICES
Two travel limit devices are located on the automated system to
identify the rod position, open or closed, Fig. 22.
The automated system is supplied with travel limit devices
already prepared for a left hand installation of the beam.
To adjust the cam position, operate as follows:
Manually move the rod into closing position.
Turn the cam, fig. 22 ref.
a
, until the travel limit device
engages.
Slightly advance the cam.
The travel limit device must operate before the mechanical
stop.
Block the cam position tightening the relevant screw.
Move the rod into opening position.
Turn the cam, fig. 22 ref.
b
, until the travel limit device
engages.
Slightly advance the cam.
The travel limit device must operate before the mechanical
stop.
Block the cam position tightening the relevant screw.
In the event of right hand installations, reverse the wires of the
travel limit devices connected to the unit, see control board
instructions.
Block the automated system again as indicated in paragraph 8.
