Please keep to the values given in the table and oil the gate's hinges.
1_ Fix the rear bracket in the position determined before. In the event of iron pillar
carefully use n°4 Ø 6,3 mm self-drilling screw (pict.6). In the event of brick pillar
(pict.7), use n°4 M8 bolts.
During the fastening operations, check if the bracket is perfectly
horizontal by means of a level.
2_ Set the operator for manual operation (see paragraph MANUAL RELEASE).
3_ Completely extend the rod till it reaches the limit stop (1 pict.8).
4_ Lock the operator again (see paragraph RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION).
5_ Turn the rod clockwise half a revolution (2 pict.8).
6_ Assemble the front bracket as shown in pict.9. Fasten the screw using the nut
(pict.9).
WARNING: Do not force the clamping as this may break the stem
head. Take up the slack only.
7_ Anchor the actuator to the rear bracket using the screw and nut supplied (see 1
pict.10);
ATTENTION: The actuator can be moved by hand only if it is installed
on the gate and in released position (see paragraph MANUAL RE-
LEASE).
8_ Check measurement "L" according to the table (pict.4).
9_ rest the bracket that has just been fixed, onto the wing of the completely closed
gate and mark the fixing points (make sure it is level, see pict. 11).
Before going on to the next phase please carry out the following test:
10_ Release the actuator (see paragraph MANUAL RELEASE) and manually
check if the gate can completely open without hindrances and stop at the me-
chanical travel stops as well as if the leaf moves regularly without any friction.
11_ Carry out the necessary corrective measures and repeat from point 10. Manu-
ally open the gate to the maximum required angle;
12_ Tighten the arm until the front bracket finds itself over the position just marked
on the gate.
If the small bracket does cover the position marked it means installation has been
done correctly.
This method can be used to establish where the small bracket will have to be welded
for each opening angle (X°) required provided it is possible (parameters A and B and
the actuator's useful travel permitting).
13_ fasten the gate mounting bracket in the position indicated (pict.12), referring to
the dimensions shown in pict. 13 and ensuring the planarity of the assembly.
Note: if the gate structure does not allow a fix bracket fastening it is
necessary to create a sturdy supporting base in the gate structure.
Note: for complete safety, the mechanical stops with rubber cap (floor
stops) must be fitted in opening and closing of the gate (7 fig. 3), in
order that they intervene just before the mechanical piston stops.
WIRING THE ACTUATOR
Locate the cable to connect the operator to the Control Board (in the back part of the
Operator).
System grounding must comply with current Safety Standards.
Connect the operator following the instructions reported in the Control Board's Man-
ual.
EKOSWING 230V AC: Connect up the condenser in parallel to the 2 phases of the
motors (terminals 5-7 and 8-10). Warning! Do not short-circuit the two wires as this
may cause discharges because of the current remaining in the wires. Use control
units with torque limiting device only.
EKOSWING 12V DC: The distance between the control unit and the motor must not
exceed 10 – 12 m.
TESTING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
• Carefully check operating efficiency of the automated system and of all acces-
sories connected to it, paying special attention to the safety devices.
• Explain correct operation and use of the automated system to the user.
• Indicate the potentially dangerous areas of the automated system to the user.
MANUAL RELEASE
If the automated system needs to be moved manually due to a power lack or to an
actuator malfunction, proceed as follows:
1_ Cut power by means of the safety circuit breaker (even in the event of a power
lack).
2_ Insert the key into the lock (pict. 14);
3_ Turn the key counter-clockwise (for LEFT version Gate Operators) or clockwise
(for RIGHT version Gate Operators) 180°. The Operator is in manual mode. Re-
move the key.
4_ Open or close the leaf manually.
Note: To hold the actuator in manual operation the release device
should be left in its current positions and the system should be with-
out power.
RESTORING NORMAL OPERATION
To restore normal operating conditions, proceed as follows:
1_ Insert the key into the lock.
2_ Turn the key clockwise (for LEFT version Gate Operators) or counter-clockwise
(for RIGHT version Gate Operators) 180°. Remove the key.
3_ Power up the system and perform some movements in order to check the correct
restoring of every function of the automated system.
USE
Actuators EKOSWING are designed to move gates with a maximum length of 3.0
metres.
It is expressly forbidden to use the device for any other purposes 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.
This is an electrically powered automatic device and should therefore 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 oper-
ating 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 techni-
cian.
MAINTENANCE
To censure trouble-free operation and a constant safety level, an overall check of the
system should be carried out every 6 months.
ATTENTION: no-one, except for the maintenance man, who must be
a specialised technician, must be able to use the automatic 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.
The EKOSWING actuators 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.
Routine maintenance
Each of the following operations must be carried out 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).
WARNING: In the event installation is to take place in areas exposed to
a great deal of sea spray and/or sand (maritime regions, desert zones,
etc.), maintenance will need to be performed at shorter intervals, eve-
ry 2/3 months.
Gate:
- lubricate and grease the hinges of the gate.
Automation system:
- check the safety devices (photocells, pneumatic edge, etc.) work according to the
manufacturer's instructions;
Note: with use, a thin line of oxide may form on the actuator stem. This
is due to the materials addition when welding the tube/stem. However,
in NO WAY does this affect the quality or normal operation of the gear-
motor. We recommend the stem be cleaned regularly using special
products for stainless steel.
Extraordinary maintenance or breakage
If major work on electromechanical parts must be carried out, the faulty component
should be removed and repaired in the workshop by the maker's or other authorised
technicians.
Keep all the documents concerning the system inside or near the control unit.
SPECIAL APPLICATIONS
There is no special application other than the described use.
NOISE LEVELS
Airborne noise generated by the gearmotor in normal operating conditions is constant
and does not exceed 70 dB.
