ASSEMBLY PLATE TO CEMENT 

-  Screw down the four bars bent over the plate to cement by using the washers and the 

screw nuts supplied with an hexagonal setscrew wrench no. 19 as shown in figure 1-2.

ATTENTION

:  Position the plate to cement keeping attention that it is laid down perfectly flat 

and that the point mark is turned towards the exact position where you want 
the rod to come down.

-  Once you have cemented the plate, 

screw down the three long threaded bars by 

clamping them energetically with a pliers 

as shown in figures  3-4-5-6.

ASSEMBLY OPERATOR SUPPORT COLUMN 

-  After having screwed down the bars and having pulled the electric cables for the 

connections, insert the tube CCA1289 and lean on it the operator support plate CCA1281. 
Pull the electric cables up to the top of the operator support plate as shown in figures 
7-8-9.

-  Screw down the support plate using the washers and the screw nuts supplied with a 

hexagonal setscrew wrench no. 17 as shown in figures 10-11-12.

OPERATOR FIXING ON THE COLUMN

-  Lean the operator on the support plate and fix it by tightening with a socket head no. 6 the 

4 screws supplied as shown in figures 13-14-15.

REMOVAL ROD RACK OPERATOR HUB

- Remove the hub-cap with a screw no. 5 (Fig. 16).
-  Screw off the two screws which block the hub with a screw no. 6 and remove it from the 

operator (Fig. 17-18).

ASSEMBLING OF THE 3 m TELESCOPIC BOOM

-  Assemble the telescopic boom fitting the three legs together, until the screws holes are 

aligned (Fig. 19-20). 

-  Secure the Ø 60 leg to the Ø 55 leg with  the allen screw 6x70, the two washers and the 

self-locking nut. Tighten by means of an allen key n° 5 and an exagonal key n° 10.

-  Secure the second leg to the third leg with the outfit screws and washers and insert the 

end caps into the boom (Fig. 21-22). 

Note:

 in case the rod needs to be shortened, DO NOT CUT THE ROD, NOR REMOVE A LEG. 

Slide the end leg into the middle leg to obtain the required overall length, and retighten by 
means of the outfit screws. Obviously the leg will need to be drilled  Ø 5 at its end, and 
threaded M6 to provided new seats for the outfit screws. The rod can be shortened up to 2 
m without need for balancing. 

ASSEMBLING OF THE 4 m TELESCOPIC BOOM

-  Assemble the telescopic rod fitting the 4 legs together, until the screws holes are aligned 

(Fig. 19-20). 

-  Secure the Ø 60 leg to the Ø 55 leg and the Ø 55 leg to the Ø 50 leg with the allen screw 

6x70, the two washers and the self-locking nut.  

-  Insert the other leg and secure by means of the outfit screws TCEI 6x60, nuts and washers 

(Fig. 21). 

   Tighten by means of an allen key n° 5 and an exagonal key n° 10.
- Insert the end cap into the end leg Ø 45. 

Note:

 in case the rod needs to be shortened, DO NOT CUT THE ROD, NOR REMOVE A LEG. 

Slide the end leg into the middle leg to obtain the required overall length, and retighten by 
means of the outfit screws. Obviously the leg will need to be drilled  Ø 6, 5. The rod can be 
shortened up to 3,5 m without need for balancing .
In case a length ranging from 3 to 3,49 m is required, re-balancing of the rod is necessary. 
To re-balance the rod detailed instructions should be obtained from the address  HYPERLINK

ASSEMBLY ROD IN THE ROD RACK HUB

-  Insert the rod from the part of the hub with the largest diameter. (Fig. 23).

ATTENTION:  Rotate the rod in the hub so that the screws are perpendicular to the 

hub’s plate (Fig. 24).

-  Fix the rod in the hub by tightening the two screws with an a socket head screw no. 5 

(Fig. 25).

INSERTION HUB WITH ROD ON THE OPERATOR
-  Assembly vertically the hub with the rod on the shaft of the operator

 and fix it by 

tightening the two screws supplied with a socket head screw no. 6 (Fig. 26-27).

ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS

-  Open the side panel with a socket head screw no. 4 to have access to the electronic board 

(Fig. 28-29-30-31-32).

-  Insert your hand inside the operator to pull out the electric cables you had formerly leaned 

on the operator support plate. 

- Carry out the harness according to the schemes A, B, C or D.
-  Apply the network voltage and verify that led DL2, DL3 e DL4 are on. Contrariwise, verify the 

correct connection of the photoelectric cells, stop button and release security.  

- Press the button PROG.=> the bar opens 
-  Press the button PROG. again => the bar closes. Once closed, there is a small reversal 

for the release facilitation.

REGULATION OF THE ROD’S POSITION 

-  In case the rod is not thoroughly horizontal, position a bubble level onto the rod, slacken 

the 4 adjusting screws and raise or lower the rod as required. Upon correct positioning of 
the rod tighten the 4 adjusting screws (Fig. 34). 

- Reassemble the hub cap (Fig. 36-37).
-  Once the assembly will be completed, the clamping screws of the rods’ profiles must be 

visible as shown in Fig. 38.

ATTENTION:  DO NOT START ELECTRICALLY THE OPERATOR IF THE ROD HASN’T BEEN 

ASSEMBLED YET. 

ATTENTION:  DO NOT APPLY ADDITIONAL WEIGHTS WHICH ARE NOT PART OF THE 

PRODUCT ON THE ROD, SUCH AS PLACARDS, LIGHTS,  RACKS, TOOTH 
FACES, ETC. 

ATTENTION:  DO NOT USE SLIDING BARS TO SUPPORT THE ROD, EITHER ASSEMBLED 

ON THE ROD OR ON THE GROUND. 

EMERGENCY RELEASE
To be carried out after having removed the electric input from the motor. 

In case of lack of current, to open the rod manually it is necessary to release the operator. 
To do that, while pushing the rod downwards with a hand, use the RIB key supplied and turn 
manually anticlockwise for four times  (Fig. 39).
This way the barrier rod is independent from the operator, but not from the balance springs, 
and can be moved manually.  
Once the current is back, pull down the rod and turn the key clockwise until it stops. 

ATTENTION

:  In case the rod blocks again when the bar is up, the first command will be the 

opening one in any case, and you will not see the movement of the barrier. At 
the second command, the bar will close. 

MAINTENANCE 
To be exclusively carried out by the specialized personnel after having removed the 
electric input from the machine. 
Every 100.000 operation cycles

  ensure the 2 bar fixing screws and the 4 setting screws 

are fully tightened.

Every 200.000 operation cycles

  replace the main motor gear and the two balancing 

springs. For ease of operation the whole fence “head” of 
PRESIDENT 4 m can be replaced. 

Every 500.000 operation cycles

  replace the main motor gear and the two balancing 

springs. For ease of operation the whole fence “head” of 
PRESIDENT 3 m can be replaced.
