which might occur during use.
• The installation must comply with the provisions set out by the following
European Directives: 89/336/CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and following
amendments.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any operations
on the plant. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
• Fit an omnipolar circuit breaker or thermal magnetic circuit breaker on
the mains power supply, having a contact opening distance equal to or
greater than 3 mm.
• Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just before
the power supply mains.
• Check that earthing is carried out correctly: connect all metal parts for
closure (doors, gates etc.) and all system components provided, with an
earth terminal.
• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are
needed to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing,
conveying and shearing.
• Position at least one light signal device (blinker) where it can be easily
seen, and fix a Warning sign to the structure.
• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation safety
and good operation when other manufacturers' components are used.
• Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
• Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorised
by the Company.
• Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the
manual opening operation in case of emergency.
• Do not allow persons or children to remain in the automation operation area.
• Keep radio control or other control devices out of children's reach, in
order to avoid unintentional automation activation.
• The user must avoid any attempt to carry out work or repair on the
automation system, but only request assistance from qualified personnel.
• Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions,
is not allowed.
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
A compact sturdy hydraulic piston, available in various versions according
to the user's requirements and type of operation. All models are supplied
without locks (reversible), and an electric lock is required to keep them
blocked. To make the manual manoeuvre easier, the lock can be released
by means of a knob which can be reached using the appropriate key.
The pushing force is adjusted with extreme precision by means of two by-
pass valves which provide antisquash safety. The end-of-stroke operation
is electronically set in the control panel by means of a timer.
All models are available with slow-down function during the closing phase.

5) ACTUATOR INSTALLATION

5.1) Preliminary checks

Check that:
• The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy. Also make sure that the actuator
pushes against the leaf reinforced section.
• The leaves move manually and without effort all along their stroke.
• The door stop plates are fitted at the end of both closing and
opening strokes.
• If the gate has not been recently installed, check the wear condition of
all components. Repair or replace faulty or worn parts.
The automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the state
of the gate structure.

5.2) Installation dimensions

The installation dimensions can be worked out from the table concerning
the respective model (fig. 3) and with reference to the diagram in fig.4.
The diagram in fig. 4 uses the following conventional references:
P Rear bracket fixed to pillar.
F Leaf fixing front fork.
a-b Dimensions used to determine the fixing point for bracket "P".
C Value of fixing distance between centres.
D Leaf length.
x Distance from the leaf axis to the pillar edge.
Z Value always greater than 50 mm (b - x).
kg Max leaf weight (see Technical specifications).
a ° Leaf opening angle.
5.3) How to interpret the installation measurements (Fig.3)
The "a" and "b" values can be chosen from the table (fig. 3) depending on
the a° opening degrees which are to be obtained. The table highlights the
optimum "a" and "b" values for an opening of a°=90° at constant speed; in
this condition, the sum of the "a" and "b" values is equal to the value of the
working stroke "Cu" (fig.2).
If the "a" and "b" values used are too different, the leaf movement is not
constant, and the towing-pushing force and movement speed may vary
