ITS (fgi. 1)
PRELIMINARY CHECKS
- Read the instructions carefully.
- Before starting installation, make sure that the gate structure is
suitable and sufficiently solid.
- Make sure the gate does not stick at any point.
Note: for complete safety, the mechanical stops with rubber
cap (floor stops) must be fitted in opening and closing of the
gate, as shown in figg 24-25.
APPLYING THE FIXING PLATE AND BRACKET
- Fix the motor plate to the post (fig. 3) at a minimum distance of
100 mm from ground level (fig. 4).
- Fix (or weld) the bracket anchoring the hinged arm to the gate
leaf (fig. 3) according the indicated measurements (fig. 4).
INSTALLATION
Remove the two self-threading screws (fig. 5).
Pull up the cover and remove (fig. 6).
Fit the gearmotor into the 4 holes in the fixing plate and secure it
with the two supplied nuts and bolts (fig. 7).
Place the control unit (external versions) in the im-
mediate vicinity of the
Be careful not to run cables for auxiliary devices in-
side raceways housing other cables supplying pow-
er to large loads or lights with electronic
In the event control pushbuttons or indicator lights
are installed inside homes or offices several metres
from the actual control unit, it is advisable to decou-
ple the signal by means of a relay in order to avoid
induced interference.
ATTACHING THE HINGED ARM
Fit the straight arm into the output shaft of the gearmotor and fix it
with the pin, the screw and relative washer. Put together and se-
cure the two arms as shown in fig. 9. Release the gearmotor (turn
the key anticlockwise and turn the release lever outwards - fig. 8).
Fix the curved arm to the bracket fixed to the leaf with the supplied
nut and bolt and make sure it moves freely. For right-hand applica-
tions, see fig. 10.
ADJUSTING THE MICRO-SWITCHES (EASY - EASYQR)
THAT STOP THE GATE FROM MOVING DURING CLOS-
ING AND OPENING
Adjusting the micro-switches with the gearmotor installed to the left
(view from inside).
Opening: release the gearmotor (fig. 12) and move the leaf to the
required open position (fig. 13). Turn the opening cam clockwise
until the micro-switch trips and secure it with the central screw (fig.
14).
Closing: move the leaf to the required closed position (fig. 15). Turn
the closing cam anticlockwise until the micro-switch trips and se-
cure it with the central screw (fig. 16).
Adjusting the micro-switches with the gearmotor installed to the
right (view from inside).
Closing: release the gearmotor (fig. 17) and move the leaf to the
required open position (fig. 18). Turn the closing cam clockwise
until the micro-switch trips and secure it with the central screw (fig.
19).
Opening: move the leaf to the required open position (fig. 20). Turn
the opening cam anticlockwise until the micro-switch trips and se-
cure it with the central screw (fig. 21).

FINAL PHASES
After completing installation, electrical connections and adjust-
ments, block the gearmotor again (fig. 22), put on the cover and fix
it with the two self-threading screws (fig. 23).
USE
The EASY and EASY 12 gearmotors have been designed to move
vertical swing gates with leafs not longer than 2.3 m and weighing
not more than 300 Kg.
It is strictly forbidden to use cleaning equipment, such as high
pressure water cleaners, and/or spray the automatic system with
jets of water in general.
It is expressly forbidden to use the device for any other pur-
poses or under any other circumstances other than those
mentioned. The electronic control unit (which must be fitted with
an electric clutch) allows the following functions to be selected:
automatic : a command impulse opens and shuts the gate
semiautomatic : a command impulse opens or shuts the gate.
In the event of a power failure, the gate may be moved manually
by activating the "manual release" device. Mod. EASY 12 can be
powered by a buffer battery and is able to perform at least 15 com-
plete cycles (open and close) on its own.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should there-
fore be used with care. In particular:
• do not touch with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet;
• disconnect the power supply before opening the control box
and/or the actuator;
• do not pull the plug out by its cable;
• do not touch the motor unless you are certain it is cool;
• only operate the gate when it is completely visible;
• do not approach the gate while it is moving;
• do not allow children or animals to play near the gate;
• do not allow children or disabled people to use the remote
control or other operating devices;
• carry out routine maintenance;
• in the case of a fault, disconnect the power supply and only
move the gate if it is possible and safe to do so. Do not touch
the gate and call in an authorised technician.
WIND PRESSURE
NB: If the gearmotor is installed on solid swing gates in a windy
area, max. motor torque must always be calibrated to less than
15 Kg (measured on the closing edge – as established by prEN
13241 and prEN 12635). If torque is calibrated to exceed this safe-
ty threshold, TAU declines all responsibility for damage to people.
MAINTENANCE
The EASY geartors need very little maintenance. However, as the
gate must be in good working order for them to work properly, the
operations required to keep it in perfect condition are described
below.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance man, who
must be a specialised technician, must be able to use the au-
tomatic system during maintenance. Switch off the mains power
supply to eliminate the risk of electrocution. If the power supply
must be left on for certain operations, each control device should
be checked or disabled (remote controls, push button strips, etc.)
except for the one used by the maintenance man.
Routine maintenance
• Each of the following operations must be carried out when nec-
essary and always every 6 months for domestic use (approx.
3000 work cycles) and every 2 months for intensive use such
as blocks of flats (always 3000 work cycles).
Gate
• lubricate and grease the hinges of the gate.
