Thank you for choosing our DU.352FC ratiomotor.
All items in the wide Benincà production range are the result of twenty-years' experience in the automatism sector and
of continuous research for new materials and advanced technologies.
We are, therefore, in the position to offer higly reliable products that due to their power, effectiveness and useful life,
fully satisfy the final user's requirements.
All our products are manufactured to the existing standard and are covered by warranty.
Possible injury to people or accidents caused by defects in construction are covered by a civil liability policy drawn up
with one of the major insurance companies.
For an efficient operation of these automatisms, the gate must have the following features:
- good stoutness and stiffness
- all hinges must have positive clearances and permit smooth and regular manual operations.
- when wings are closed their height have to fit together.
The DU.352FC electromechanical gate opener is simple and reliable and can be installed onto any swing-gate having
up to 3m max wings. Harmonious and elegant it is made entirely in aluminium.
The stout and well tested reduction unit makes it reliable and noiseless. It is also equipped with simple and easily adju-
stable limit stops and an emergency release with personalised key.
It is necessary that the gate to be automatised has got a mechanical stop when closing; this mechanical stop becomes
necessary also when opening in case the suitable limit stop is not used.
3.1 Fix the distance from the ground of the automatism has (it is advisable it is in the middle of the gate and possibly
close to a strong ledger). Now weld the plate P (if the pilaster is made of cement ask for the screwing flask) as per di-
mensions given on fig. 2).
3.2 When the gate is closing, weld the flask S at the same level of the plate P (fig. 3) to a gate ledger or to another stout
element; please remember that in this condition the piston must not be totally at the end of its stroke.
• Remove then the protection R and the terminal board support M.
• Insert the back articulated joint U onto the plate P and insert the pivot V. Tighten the pivot through the self-blocking
nut D.
• Tighten now the screw T.
The power supply cable can be introduced into the lower part of the automatism, by means of one of the two holes
situated there. If this is the case, use the plate hole indicated in the figure and make sure that the automatism stops
before cutting the cable.
For the limit stop adjustment when opening, proceed as follows:
• remove cap T
• loosen nut D by means of a 10mm hexagon head socket spanner; turn the nut clockwise to advance the triggering of
the limit switch F and anticlockwise to postpone triggering.
As all the other automatisms in the Benincà production range, also the DU.352FC has a simple and functional release
which permits the manual move when there is no electricity. To release the automatism, please proceed as follows (see
fig. 5):
• Move the lock-cover C until the arrow is visible.
• Insert the personalised key and rotate it by 90°.
• Press onto the back side of the door P and rotate it to a click by pulling from the front side.
In order to make it run again, lower the small door; the first manoeuvre will re-establish the manual operation.
P.N.: if the opening limit stop is not used, it is advisable to bring the gate in a position close to the closing one
before re-establishing the automatic running.
The civil liability policy, which covers possible injuries to people or accidents caused by defects in construction, requires
the system to be to existing standard and to use original Benincà accessories.
