1. INSTALLATION
The product may only be installed by a qualified fitter. The manufacturer, Tau, declines all liability for damage to property and/or injury to
people deriving from the incorrect installation of the system or its noncompliance with current law (see Machinery Directive).
Use on gates with a gradient or slope is not allowed.

OVERALL DIMENSIONS
Figs. 3,4,5 show the main overall dimensions for the sliding gate; figs.6-7 show the dimensions of the foundation counterplate, while fig.8
shows the dimensions of the adjustable counterplate for model BIG18.
PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS
Carefully read the instructions contained in the handbook before starting work.
Before proceeding with installation, make sure that all the components are present, use suitable work equipment and do not touch live electrical parts.
CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
Before proceeding with installation check that:
-
The wheels of the gate are mounted in such a way as to make it stable and that they are in good condition and perfect working order;
-
The whole of the slide rail is unobstructed, straight and clean and a travel stop is fitted at either end.
INSTALLATION DISTANCES
To install the gear motor correctly, make sure it is at a distance of 65 mm from the gate.
See fig. 09 for fixing to a concrete floor, fig. 10 for digging and fig. 11 for positioning the counterplate.
2. PREPARING THE BASE
Dig foundations at least 15 cm deep and sufficiently wide. Use protective sheaths for the cables.
FIXING THE FOUNDATION COUNTERPLATE
Fill the hole with concrete and sink the bet pins into it; the counterplate must be perfectly flat at 1 or 2 cm from the level of the finished floor and at
a distance of approximately 65 mm from the gate.
NB: it is also possible to install the gear motor without the foundation counterplate by using four foundation bolts on a flat concrete base; the
measurements shown in fig. 9 must always be respected.
A height-adjustable counterplate may be used for model BIG18; in this case, the fixed bent pins must be welded to the rail, see fig. 12/a.
This makes it possible to adapt the gear motor to a pre-existing system; the measurements shown in fig. 12/b must be respected.
3. ANCHORING THE GEAR MOTOR
Tighten the screws (as shown in fig. 13) on both sides of the gear motor. Fit all the cables into the sheath, which passes through the hole made
in the base of the foundation counterplate.
4. FIXING THE RACK
Prepare the rack with the relative brackets (fig. 14).
Place the rack on the motor pinion (released) respecting the distance between the tooth of the gear and the tooth of the rack as shown in fig.
15. Make a hole in the leaf at the centre of the slot and fix with the relative screws. Slide the leaf along the pinion and fix each bracket in turn.
