GENERAL INFORMATION

For an efficient operation of the sliding automatic mechanism, the gate must have the following features:
- The guide rail and its wheels must be suitable in size and mantained to prevent gate from excessive sliding friction.
- When running, gate must not rock excessively.
- Opening and closing stroke must be regulated by a mechanical limit stop (to safety standard in force).
GENERAL FEATURES
Automation for private use sliding gates (max. gate weight 400Kg).
The small and elegant design enbloc MS5 consists of an aluminium unit containing the motor and irreversible reduction unit, realized
with high-grade materials. The MS5 has a spring-operated travel-end. A personalized key emergency release enables manual gate
operation in the event of power failure.
INSTALLATION
FIG.1
Overall dimensions of the gear motor expressed in mm.
POSITIONING OF THE FOUNDATION PLATE
FIG.2-3-4-5
It is very important to keep to dimension X shown in Fig.2. This value depends on the type of rack used:
X = 60 mm for rack in nylon
X = 57 mm for rack in iron, 12x30mm
Preset a corrugated tube (Fig.2 -A) for the passage of power supply cables and connection wires for the accessories.
Check that, at the end of the fitting, the foundation plate is perfectly parallel with respect to the wing.
Fit the system with screw anchors on the bottom of the cement (Fig.3).
Drill 4 holes, diam.10mm, by using the foundation plate as drilling template.
Tightly anchor the foundation plate to ground through the 4 "T" steel screw anchors and the 4 "B" threaded bars, M8x150mm and cor-
responding "D" nuts and "R" washers.
Alternative fitting systems are available on the market, e.g. anchoring with retaining expansion band (Fig.3 -T2) to be inserted in the hole
with some hammer strokes.
Fitting to be cemented (Fig.4)
In this case, after providing an adequate foundation hole, bend the threaded bars as shown in Fig.4.
Submerse the bars in cement, paying attention to the level of the plate.
Wait that the cement hardens.
Fig. 5 shows the completed fitting plate.
Regardless of the type of fitting, check that the threaded bars are firmly anchored to ground and that they protrude for at least
24mm (44 mm for raised installation).
FITTING OF THE RACK
FIG.6-7-8
Rack in nylon (Fig.6).
Position the rack at a height of 96 mm from the centre line of the fixing slot provided on the base on which the foundation plate will be
fitted. At that height, drill a hole on the gate and provide for a M6 threading.
Keep to the P tooth pitch, even from a section of rack and another. To this purpose, it could be useful to join another section of rack
(Part. C)
Rack in Fe 12x30mm (Fig.7).
Position the spacers D by welding them or fitting them with screws to the gate, at 129 mm height from the centre line of the fixing slot
provided on the base on which the foundation plate will be fitted. Fix the rack by following points 4.3 and 4.4.
Keep to the P tooth pitch, for all sections of the rack. To this purpose, it could be useful to connect another section of rack (Part. C)
Then fix the rack with V screws, taking care, once the actuator is installed, that 1-mm backlash is left between the rack and the tow wheel
(seei Fig.8). To this purpose, use the slots on the rack.
POSITIONING AND ANCHORING OF THE ACTUATOR
FIG.9-10
Position the gear motor on the foundation plate with the gear centred with respect to the rack.
Release the automatic system and check that the gear be correctly positioned along the entire stroke of the rack. If required, adjust the
alignment by using the special slots.
Fix the gear motor to the base by firmly tightening the 4 nuts D and inserting the R.
Apply the two screw covers C.
If the rack is already installed in a position which is higher than the pinion, the plate can be raised (20 m maximum) by moving the nuts
and the washers under the plate, as shown in Fig.10.
If the connecting cables already present make it difficult to fix the standard plate, the optional plate BULL P3 (Fig. 11) can be used, thus
allowing to raise the actuator installation by about 34 mm and facilitating the passage of cables.
