General Characteristics - Beninca LADY 5 Manual De Instrucciones Y Catálogo De Recambios

Before carrying out any work on the system, disconnect the 230Vac and the buffer batteries (if
present).
• The box containing the control unit is secured to barrier case with two screws to avoid damage during trans-
port. Once the barrier has been positioned it possible to remove the screws and to unhook the box from the
case so as to facilitate wiring operations and the preparation of the control unit. On completing installation,
secure the box to the barrier case again.
• Consult the control unit instructions manual as regards the regulation of the operating times and logic, the
connection of the accessories and of the safety devices, etc.
Sturdily made but with a sober and pleasing design, LADY 5 road barriers are suitable for intensive use, thanks
to their 24Vdc motor. Installation and regulation are easily accomplished. Equipped with a very simple and
intuitive manual release, the barrier can be fitted with buffer batteries that allow it to operate even when there
is no power supply.
The bar made of painted aluminium is suitable for the application of all the accessories, signalling and safety
devices. In the event of contact of the bar with an obstacle, an amperometric sensor interrupts the movement
immediately.
2. Positioning the spring and the accessories for use
Depending on the length of the bar and on the type of accessories installed, before putting the spring under
tension it is necessary to choose the correct point in which to attach the spring to the lever.
The correct fastening point ("A", "B" or "C" - Fig.1), must be chosen in table 1, depending on the length of the
bar and on the type of accessories you intend to install.
After having arranged the passage of the cables (power supply, accessories, etc.), put the foundation plate in
position, referring to the measurements in fig.2.
The bar is fixed to the plate using the support and the screws provided, as illustrated in Fig.3. We recommend
installing any accessories for the bar (protective profiles, lights, edge, skirt, etc.) before fixing it to the plate.
If the opening direction reversion is required, proceed as follows. If it is not necessary, go to the next section:
• Entirely unload the spring by loosening it and unhooking it from the "L" anchoring lever
• with reference to Fig. 4, invert the position of the "F1" and "F2" mechanical stoppers. Before loosening
the stoppers, back-off the related locking grains (see section HOW TO ADJUST THE MECHANICAL STO-
PERS)
• unlock the geared motor (see "Manual Operation") insofar as to render the L hooking lever idle.
• according to the length of the road barrier arm and accessories used, choose the correct hooking position,
as indicated in paragraph "Positioning of the spring and accessories".
• hook the spring in the new position. Fig. 4 shows the differences between a right-hand road barrier and a
left-hand one.
• in the control unit, invert the wires of motor, as well as SWC limit switch (closing limit switch) and
SWC-R limit switch (closure braking limit switch).
In the event of a power cut or of abnormal operation, it is possible to release the bar and move it by hand (Fig.
5).
Using the key provided:
• To release the bar, turn the key in a clockwise direction until you fell a certain resistance.
• To restore the automatic movement of the bar, turn the key in an anti-clockwise direction until it is
blocked.
For good operation of the barrier it is fundamental for the bar to be suitably balanced by the action of the spring.
To check this, proceed as follows:
• Ensure that the spring is fixed to the correct point of the lever (see paragraph 2).
