INSTALLATION K400
CHECKING BEFORE THE INSTALLATION
!! THE GATE SHALL MOVE FRICTIONLESS !!
N.B.: Gate features must be uniformed with the standards and laws in force. The door/
gate can be automated only if it is in a good condition and its conditions comply
with the EN 12604 norm.
- The door/gate leaf does not have a pedestrian door. In the opposite case it is necessary
to take the appropriate steps, in accordance with EN 12453 point 6.5.1 (for instance; by
preventing the operation of the motor when the pedestrian door is opened, by installing
a safety microswitch connected with the control panel).
- Besides the electrical or mechanical limit switches available on the operators, there must
be, on both ends of the installation, a fixed mechanical stopper which stop the gate in
the unlikely event of ill functioning of limit swithces on the operators. For this reason the
fixed mechanical stopper must be of an adeguate size to withstand the static and kinetic
forces generated by the gate (12) (fig. 2).
- Gate columns shall have anti-derailment guides on their top (fig. 3), to avoid the
unintentional gate release.
N.B.: Remove mechanical stops like the one in fig. 3.
No mechanical stops shall be on top of the gate, since these mechanical stops are not
safe enough.

C: Adjustable power of the motor or photocells to respect impact forces as indicated in
Annex A
D: Safety strips and/or other additional devices to reduce the probability of contact with
the door.
E: Devices installed in such a way that a person can not be touched by the door.
RELEASE
To operated after the power supply to the motor has been interrupted.
In order to operate the gate manually, simply open the door, insert the key, turn it clockwise
and pull the lever (Fig. 4).
In order to carry out the manual operation of the gate leaf the followings must be checked:
- That the gate is endowed with appropriate handles;
- That these appropriate handles are placed so to avoid safety risks for the operator;
- That the physical effort necessary to move the gate leaf should not be higher than 225 N,
for doors/gates for private dwellings, and, 390 N for doors/gates for commercial and
industrial sites (values indicated in 5.4.5 of the EN 12453 norm).
To re-lock the motor, turn the key counter-clockwise and press the lever in place.
