VIRGO OPERATOR
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Low-voltage operator (24V
) suitable for residential use. Designed for swing
gates having small-sized pillars. The operating arm, with its special antishearing
shape, allows the leaves to be manoeuvred even when the operator is positioned
well away from their fulcrum. The irreversible electromechanical gearmotor keeps
the gate locked in the closing and opening positions.
The release lever, fitted to the outside of each operator, allows the manual ma-
noeuvre to be carried out very easily.
ATTENTION! The VIRGO model controller is not equipped with mechanical torque
adjustment. It is compulsory to use a control panel of the same manufacturer, in
compliance with the basic safety requirements of directives 2014/35/CE, 2014/30/
CE, 2006/42/CEE equipped with appropriate electric adjusment of the torque.
Before carrying out the manual manoeuvre make sure that this operation will
not create a dangerous situations.
Check in the relevant literature that the thermal field in the working area is suit-
able for the operator.
Make sure that the movement of the door does not cause entrapment risks
between the movable and fixed parts of the door.
If swing gates with built-in doors are used, the motor must not run when the
door is left open.
WARNING! The operator must be installed by a qualified technician as special
safety components are used for every specific site and therefore safety depends
on installation.

4) OPERATOR INSTALLATION
4.1) Preliminary checks
Check that:
•
The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy and rigid.
The fixing position must be worked out according to the leaf structure. In any
case, the manoeuvring arm must push against a reinforced leaf point. (Fig.B)
•
The leaves can be moved manually along their entire stroke.
If the gate has not been installed recently, check the wear condition of all its
components. Repair or replace defective and worn parts.
Operator reliability and safety are directly affected by the condition of the
gate structure.
5) SUPPORT PLATE FIXING
The operator is supplied with a fixing bracket and lever arm.
Having identified the leaf reinforcement point, with the gate closed, trace an
imaginary horizontal line from the centre of the reinforcement point to the
pillar (fig. C-D).
Fig. B illustrates the most common types of installation:
-
with the leaf hinge pivot not aligned with the fixing plate (90° opening - maxi-
mum distance between hinge pivot and plate: 210mm).
-
with the hinge pivot aligned with the fixing plate
Position the anchoring bracket observing the dimensions shown in fig.C for
opening up to 90°, or in fig.B-D for opening over 90° up to a max of 120°.
The pillar surface, where the bracket is fixed, must be flat and parallel to the leaf.
Use screws and expansion plugs adequate for the type of pillar. In the case where
the pillar surface is irregular, use expansion plugs with studs, in order to be able
to adjust the fixing bracket parallel to the leaf (fig.E).
• Assemble the lever arm as in fig.G.
DX = fitting to right leaf
SX = fitting to left leaf
Choose the most suitable position for fixing bracket "F" to the leaf.
• Insert lever L into the gearmotor output shaft, and fix it using appropriate pivot

• Release the operator by activating the release lever to allow the arm to move
easily (see paragraph "EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE").
• Open the gearmotor cover and fix it to the plate as indicated in Fig.N.
• Fix towing angle bar "F" to the leaf.
• The correct position for the operator arm is illustrated in fig.F. The leaf attachment
point can be identified by positioning the arm according to the dimension
indicated in fig.F.
• With the operator released, check the arm for correct movement.
• Repeat the same procedure for the other leaf.
6) BACKSTOP FIXING
The VIRGO operator is provided with mechanical end-of-stroke backstops, which
make the installation of ground stop plates redundant.
With reference to Fig. I proceed as follows:
- Identify the opening and closing end-of-stroke points and fix the backstops
accordingly.
- Fix protection cover C.
7) EMERGENCY MANOEUVRE (Fig.1)
In the case where the power supply is off, or any faults are present, the manual
emergency manoeuvre can be carried out by operating the external release
lever (Fig.1 ref. " S").
1) Insert the release key and turn it clockwise (Fig.1 ref. " 1").
2) Move lever "S" until the lock is released (Fig.1 ref. " 2").
3) Keep the lever in the release position by turning the key clockwise (Fig.1
ref. " 3").
4) Push the leaf slowly to open or close the gate.
To reactivate motor-driven operation, turn the key clockwise to free the lever
from its released position, then return it to its initial position for normal operation.
8) MANUAL WIRE RELEASE DEVICE (Fig.J)
The manual emergency release can be operated by a wire device:
-
Take all the metal cable out of the sheath and insert it into the release lever.
-
Lock the sheath and suitably adjust its position by means of the appropriate
screw.
-
The cover is provided with a section to be torn off for the sheath to go through.
-
For further information, refer to the specific instructions for the release device.
9) VIRGO BAT KIT INSTALLATION
-
Fix the SBS board on the back of the panel box by means of a screw, as indi-
cated in Fig.M.
-
Fix the board protection box (Fig.M - "C") supplied with the kit.
-
Position the two batteries on the supports, as indicated in Fig.M ("A").
-
Secure the batteries using the bracket and screws supplied.
-
Proceed to wire the SBS board with reference to the diagram in Fig.M.
10) AUTOMATION CHECK
Before allowing the automation to be used normally, carry out the following
procedure very carefully:
•
Check the correct functioning of all safety devices (limit microswitches,
photocells, sensitive edges etc.).
•
Check that the thrust (anti-squash) force of the leaf is within the limits set by
current regulations.
•
Check the manual opening command.
•
Check the opening and closing operations with the control devices in use.
•
Check the standard and customised electronic functioning logic.
11) AUTOMATION OPERATION
Since the automation can be remote-controlled by means of a remote control
device or a start button, and so out of sight, the good working order of all the
safety devices should be checked regularly. In the event of any anomalous fun-
ctioning of the safety devices, consult a specialised technician immediately. Keep
children at a safe distance from the automation operation area.
12) CONTROL
The automation is used for the power-operated opening and closing of the gate.
The control can be of a number of types (manual, remote-controlled, magnetic
badge access control, etc.) depending on requirements and the characteristics
of the installation. See the specific instructions for the various control systems.
Users of the automation must be instructed about its control and operation.
13) MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the power supply when carrying out any maintenance operations.
Lubricate the VIRGOs of the manoeuvring arm regularly.
•
•
Clean the lenses of the photocells every so often.
•
Have a qualified person (installer) check correct motor torque setting.
•
In the event of any anomalous functioning which cannot be resolved, discon-
nect the power supply and contact a specialised technician (installer). Whilst
the automation is out of order, activate the manual release to allow manual
opening and closing.
LINX CONTROL PANEL
2) GENERAL INFORMATION
The control panel comes with standard factory settings. Any change must be made
using the programmer with built-in display or universal handheld programmer.
The Control unit completely supports the EELINK protocol.
It comes with a series of prewired jumpers to make the installer's job on site easier.
The jumpers concern terminals: 16-18; 17-18; 21-24; 22-24. If the above-
mentioned terminals are being used, remove the relevant jumpers.
