1) GENERAL OUTLINE
The E5 model consists of a compact electromechanical gearmotor with
minimum overall dimensions which can be installed on any post or pillar
thanks to its versatility. Gate locking in the closing position is guaranteed
by an electric lock. The reversibility of the gearmotor allows immediate
manual manoeuvring of the gate in case of emergency, by means of the
appropriate personalised key releasing the electric lock. Total anti-squash
safety is provided by a multiple-disk clutch and the end-of-stroke operation
is set by a timer.
The gearmotor (fig.1) is made up of : Motor single-block "M", Epicycloidal
reducing gear "R", Multiple-disk mechanical clutch "F", Pushing arm "B".

3) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR
3.1)

Preliminary checks

Check:
- That the structure of the gate is strong enough. The fixing position must
be determined according to the leaf structure. In any case, the drive arm
must push against a reinforced point in the leaf;
- That the leaves can be moved manually without excessive effort for the
whole of their stroke;
- If the gate being installed is not new, check whether its components are
worn.
Repair or replace any worn or damaged parts.
Automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the condition of
the gate structure.
3.2)

Standard installation

Fig. 3 shows the standard installation position for Mod. E5. However, if the
automation must be fitted onto a gate with a pedestrian access and with a
leaf with up to 1.4 m length, the opening speed can be increased by bringing
the gate fastening position "A" near to the hinge-pivot (fig.4) or by shortening
the articulated lever "L2" (fig.5).
If the minimum value equal to 210mm indicated in the drawing of fig.6 is not
available due to the presence of a wall in the corner, use a slide arm (fig.7);
in this case, make sure that the length of the leaf does not exceed 1.6
metres and its weight is 100 kg max.
If the maximum value equal to 200mm (fig.3) is not available due to a too
large gate-post, use version E5L with both arms "L1-L2" extended (fig.8).
For heavy gates with leaves with up to 2 m length 200 kg weight, request
an extended "L2" arm (fig.9) featuring increased power; in this case, the
opening time will be longer because the rotation degrees of lever "L1" are
increased. If the automation must be fitted onto a gate with 180° angular
opening (fig.10) or there is no space in the gate-post to mount the motor,
a recess should be made in the leaf in correspondence with the gate hinge-
pivot (fig.11); in this case the weight of the leaf must not be supported by
the gearmotor and the length of the single leaf must not exceed 1.6 m and

its weight not be greater than 100 kg.
WARNING! The controller mod. E5 must not be installed with the
clutch unit facing downward.
4) FITTING OF THE GEARMOTOR
To fit the gearmotor supporting plate onto the gate-post proceed as follows:
- With a good electric welding (fig. 12) if the gate-post in made of metal.
- If the gate-post is in brick, the plate must be set soundly into the post
using adequately sized cramps "Z" welded to the back of the plate (fig.
13).
- If the gate-post is in stone and the gate is small and therefore does not
require excessive power to be opened, the plate can be mounted with
four metal expansion plugs "T" (fig. 14).
- If the gate-post is in stone and a large gate is being installed it would be
better to weld the plate to a corner plate "C" fixed with four expansion
plugs (fig. 15).
- After fastening the anchoring plate, fit the gearmotor (fig. 16).
- Close the gate and loosen the clutch (fig. 23). Position the drive arm so
as to create a pressing angle as shown in the figures for positioning.
- Temporarily lock the fastening element "A" (fig. 17) to the leaf (using
locking pliers) and open the leaf manually.
Check that the drive arm does not cause any crushing or entanglement
risks when moving.
- Secure the fastening fork "A" to the leaf (fig. 17) using the four threaded
holes "F" to be made in the selected position.
- Check that the arm is level (fig. 18).
- In the case of gearmotors equipped with the slide arm Mod. E5S, the
slide "S" should be secured with its sliding slit facing the ground (fig, 19);
the slide must be located at the maximum distance from the gate-post
allowed by the arm "L1".
5) FITTING THE ELECTRIC LOCK
Due to the reversibility of the gearmotor, an electric lock must be fitted.
The company supplies a special electric lock Mod. EBP (fig. 20) which
consists of a continuous electromagnet with ground catch. This device
remains energised during the total operation time of the gearmotor so as the
bolt "D" can reach the closing limit stop lifted without creating any friction
with the ground and guaranteeing a smooth movement.
If the gates has two leaves, the leaf equipped with the electric lock should
close last.
Use a control unit with closing delay adjustment for the second leaf.
6) GATE STOP LIMITS
It is compulsory to fit the gate stop limits "F" (fig.21), both in opening and
closing positions, to stop the strokes of the leaves in the desired positions.
7) ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP
Set the electrical plant as shown in fig. 22 according to the current
standards for electrical plants CEI 64-8, IEC364, Harmonization HD384
and other national regulations. Keep the power supply connections definitely
separated from the auxiliary connections (photocells, control devices, etc.).
Fig. 22 indicates the number of connections and the sections for 100 m.
long power supply cables. For distances of over 100 m., calculate the cable
section depending on the automation actual load.
The automation main components are the following (fig. 22):
I Type approved omnipolar switch with 3 mm min. contact opening
provided with overload and short-circuit protection, used to break
the automation connection from the mains. If not present, provide
the automation with a type approved differential switch with adequate
capacity and a 0.03 A threshold.
QR Control unit with built-in receiver
SPL Pre-heating board on the control panel for operation at temperatures
below -10° C (optional)
S Key selector
AL Blinker tuned in with antenna
M Actuators
E Electric lock
Fte,FrePair of outside photocells
Fti, Fri Pair of inside photocells with columns
T 1-2-4 channel transmitter
WARNING! For the connection of the accessories, please refer to the
relevant instruction manuals. The type of control boards and
accessories must be suitable for the intended use and in compliance
with the current safety standards.
