5) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR
5.1) Preliminary checks
Check:
• that the structure of the gate is rigid and strong enough. In any case, the
actuator must push against a reinforced point in the leaf
• that the leaves move manually without excessive effort for the whole of
their stroke
• that the door stops are mounted on the leaves
• If the gate being installed is not new, check whether its components
are worn.
Repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.
Automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the condition of
the gate's structure.
5.2) Installation values
The values to be known for installation can be found in the table related to the
model being installed (fig. 3-4), with reference also to the diagram in fig. 5.
The diagram in fig. 5 uses the following legend:
P Gate-post fastening rear bracket
F Leaf fastening front fork
a-b "P" bracket installation values
C Distance between fixing points (see fig. 2)
D Gate length
X Distance from gate axis to the edge of the post
Z
always over 45 mm (b - X)

5.3) How to read the installation dimensions (fig- 3-4)
From the tables (fig. 3-4), select "a" and "b" according to the angle in degrees
α° that the gate has to open. Each table shows the ideal value for "a" and
"b" for an opening of α° = 90° at constant speed.
In this condition, the sum of "a" plus "b" gives the value of the working stroke
"Cu" (fig. 2).
If there is too large a difference between "a" and "b", the leaf will not travel
smoothly and the pushing or pulling force will fluctuate during its stroke.
When "a" and "b" are at their maximum, the piston develops the maximum
force. This condition is particularly useful for heavy gates or gates with very
long leaves.
WARNING! The LUX models having a rod with adjustment ball joint enable
the rod to be lengthened or shortened by about 6 mm., but only if it is set
in the position shown in fig. 9 before being installed. When installed, this
adjustment will allow for correcting the stroke of the rod. Fig. 10 shows the
oscillation to which the LUX models with front and rear joint are subject with
respect to the horizontal axis.
5.4) Off-standard installations
Fig. 6 - need for a recess to house the controller when the leaf is completely
opened;Fig. 6 gives the size of the recess for the different LUX models.
Fig. 7 - if the "b" value is higher than the values listed in the installation
tables, the leaf's hinge pivot should be shifted, or a recess be made in the
gate-post (fig. 8).
5.5) Mounting the brackets to the gate-post and to the gate-leaf.
Fix the bracket "P" (fig. 11) to the gate-post with a good welding.
The fork "F" should be welded in the same way to the gate leaf along the
distance "C" as shown in fig. 5, taking care that the operator is installed within
the limits shown in Fig. 10.
5.5) Mounting the brackets to the gate-post and to the gate-leaf.
• If the gate-post is in brick, the plate "PF" must be welded to a metal base
(mod. PLE) and set soundly into the post using adequately sized cramps
"Z" welded to the back of the plate (fig. 12).
• If the gate-post is in stone, the plate "PF" welded to a metal base (mod.
PLE) can be fixed with four metal expansion plugs "T" (fig. 13). If a larger
gate is being installed it would be better to weld the plate "PF" to an
angular base (fig. 14).
WARNING: Avoid installing the operator too close to the ground,
so as to prevent rain or snow from being sucked in by the ope-
rator breather.
6) GROUND GATE STOPS
10 -
LUX Ver. 05
INSTALLATION MANUAL
For the controller to operate correctly the gate stops "F" must be used both
in opening and closing, as shown in fig. 15.
The gate stops should prevent the rod of the actuator from reaching its end
of stroke . Fig. 16 gives the values which ensure a perfect installation when
the actuator is performing the pushing or pulling function. They must be
placed so that about a 5-10 mm margin of travel is maintained in the rod.
This margin prevents any malfunctions.
7) FITTING THE ELECTRIC LOCK
This is only necessary on models without a hydraulic lock at closing
end of stroke.
The electric lock mod. EBP (fig. 17) consists of a continuous electromagnet
with ground catch. As long as the gearmotor is operating, this device fea-
tures a non-stop excitation and maintains the bolt "D" lifted until it reaches
the closing end of stroke without creating any friction. This characteristic
enables the pushing force to be reduced in closing which will improve the
antisquash safety level.
8) MOUNTING THE CABLE-CLAMP (fig. 18)
WARNING! Fix the board "B" to the base "F" with the screws "V" provided.
Place the rubber "G" in its seat in the board "B". Slide the nut "D" onto the
power cable and pass the cable over board "B" as shown in the picture
Tighten nut "D" until the power cable is clamped.
N.B. The board "B" can be fitted onto both the right and left of the base "F",
as required (see picture).
The bottom of board "B" has a spiralled recess to eventually receive a spiralled
sheath "GS" in PVC (Ø=12 - PG9).
9) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP
Set the electrical plant (fig. 19) according to the current standards for electri-
cal plants. Keep the power supply connections definitely separated from the
auxiliary connections (photocells, rubber skirts, control devices, etc.).
WARNING! For connection to the mains, use a multipolar cable with a
minimum of 3x1.5mm
sly mentioned regulations. For example, if the cable is out side (in the
open), it has to be at least equal to H07RN-F, but if it is on the inside
(or outside but placed in a plastic cable cannel) it has to be or at least
egual to H05VV-F with section 3x1.5mm
Perform the connections of the control and safety devices in compliance with
the above mentioned standards.
Fig. 19 indicates the number of connections and the sections for 100 m.
long power supply cables. For distances of over 100 m., calculate the cable
section depending on the automation actual load. If the length of the auxiliary
connections exceeds 50 metres or if they pass through critical areas subject
to disturbances, we advise to disconnect the control and safety devices with
suitable relays.
The connector blocks for the power supply must be placed at a height
greater than that of the actuators so as to avoid oil leakages (Fig. 19).
9.1) Automation main components (fig. 19)
I) Type approved omnipolar switch with 3,5 mm min. contact opening.
provided with overload and short-circuit protection, used to break the
automation connection from the mains. If not present, provide the auto-
mation with a type approved differential switch with adequate capacity
and a 0.03 A threshold.
Qr) Control unit with built-in receiver
SPL)Pre-heating board for operation at temperatures below 5° C (optional)
S) Key selector
AL) Blinker tuned in with antenna and RG58 cable
M) Actuator
Fte) Pair of outside photocells (transmitters)
Fre) Pair of outside photocells (receivers)
Fti) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (transmitters)
Fri) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (receivers)
T) 1-2-4 channel transmitter
IMPORTANT: Before operating the actuator electrically, unscrew the
bleeder screw "S" (fig. 20)found under the joint block and keep it for
future uses. Remove the bleeder screw "S" only after having installed
the actuator.
10) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE
WARNING: Check that the impact force value measured at the
points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than that
specified in the EN 12453 standard.
