3) Installation
!
The installation of SPIN must be carried out by qualified
personnel in compliance with current legislation, stan-
dards and regulations, and the directions provided in this
manual.
3.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with the installation of SPIN you must:
• Verify and ensure after installation that no door parts obstruct pub-
lic roadways or pavements.
• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for
use and that they conform to the standards currently in force.
• Make sure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
• Make sure that the force and dimensions of the door fall within the
specified operating limits provided in chapter "2.1 Operating limits".
• Check that the static friction (that is, the force required to start the
movement of the leaf) is less than half the "maximum torque", and
that the dynamic friction (that is, the force required to keep the leaf
in movement) is less than half the "nominal torque". Compare the
resulting values with those specified in Chapter 8 "Technical Char-
acteristics". The manufacturer recommends a 50% margin on the
force, as unfavourable climatic conditions may cause an increase
in the friction.
• Make sure that there are no points of greater friction in the open-
ing or closing travel of the door.
• Make sure that the mechanical stops are sturdy enough, and that
there is no danger of door derailing.
• Make sure that the door is well balanced: it must not move by itself
when it is placed in any position.
• Make sure that the mounting positions of the various devices (pho-
tocells, keys, etc.) are protected from impacts and that the mount-
ing surfaces are sufficiently sturdy.
• Make sure that the minimum and maximum clearances specified
in fig. 5 and 6 are observed.
• Check and ensure that the manual release is fitted at a maximum
height of 1.8 m.
• Components must never be immersed in water or other liquids.
• Keep all components of SPIN away from heat sources and open
flames; these could damage the components and cause malfunc-
tions, fire or dangerous situations.
• If the door includes an access door, make sure that it does not
obstruct normal travel. Mount a suitable interlock system if neces-
sary.
• If the door to be automated is an overhead type, check the dis-
tance [E] in Figure 7, i.e. the minimum distance between the upper
side of the guide and the maximum point reached by the upper
edge of the door. Otherwise SPIN cannot be installed.
• Connect SPIN only to a power supply line equipped with safety
grounding system.
• The power supply line must be protected by suitable magneto-
thermal and differential switches.
3.2) Fitting SPIN
Fixture of the SPIN gearmotor comprises 3 stages.
• Guide assembly (see paragraph 3.2.1 for guides supplied with
SPIN10KCE and paragraph 3.2.2 for guide SNA11)
• Mounting the gearmotor to the guide (see paragraph 3.2.3)
• Mounting the gearmotor to the ceiling (see paragraph 3.2.4)
