ENGLISH
limits set out by the current national standards. Under no circumstances
whatsoever must the by-pass valves be fully closed. Complete the
adjustments and restore the release system, taking care to refit the
packing rings and washers. The actuator is not provided with electrical
limit switches. Therefore the motors switch off at the end of the operation
time set by the control unit. The said operation time must last
approximately 2-3 seconds after the moment when the leaves meet the
ground stop plates.
11) COVERING ELEMENT POSITIONING
Covering element "C" for all models can become left or right-handed by
reversing the position of cap "T" (fig.22), taking care to keep the water
drainage channel always at the bottom.
12) AUTOMATION CHECK
Before the automation device finally becomes operational, scrupulously
check the following conditions:
• Check that all components are tightly fixed.
• Check that all control devices (photocells, pneumatic edge etc) operate
correctly.
• Check the emergency manoeuvre command.
• Check the opening and closing operations using the control devices
provided.
• Check the normal (or personalised) function control logic in the control unit.
13) AUTOMATION OPERATION
Since the automation system can be remotely controlled by means of a
radio control device or a Start button, all safety devices must be frequently
checked in order to ensure their perfect efficiency. In the event of any
irregular operation, request immediate assistance from qualified personnel.
Children must be kept at a safe distance from the automation
operation area.
14) CONTROL
Various types of control are provided (manual, radio control, magnetic card
access control etc.) depending on the installation requirements and
characteristics. (See the specific instructions for the various control systems).
The installer undertakes to instruct the user about the correct
automation operation, and also point out the operations required in
case of emergency.
15) MAINTENANCE
Before carrying out any maintenance to the controller, disconnect the
system power supply. Periodically check the system for oil leaks.
Topping up should be carried out as follows:
a) Remove the release system (see fig.19).
b) Keeping the gate closed, top up using the prescribed oil until its level
reaches above the piston pipe (fig.20 ref. "P"). To check this, insert a
screwdriver through the release cover block fixing hole, so as to reach
the piston pipe and make sure it is oiled.
c) Refit all the component paying attention to the seals. Check all automation
safety devices.
When any operational malfunction if found, and not resolved, disconnect
the system power supply and request the assistance of a qualified
technician (installer).
If the power supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced directly by
our company or our technical service department or by a technician
having similar qualification so as to avoid any risks. When automation
is out of order, activate the manual release knob to allow the manual opening
and closing operations to be carried out by means of the electric lock.
16) MALFUNCTIONS AND REMEDIES
16.1) Faulty operation of the actuator
Using an appropriate instrument, check that the ends of the actuator are
supplied with voltage after the opening or closing command is given. If the
motor vibrates but does not turn, the causes could be as follows:
• Wrong connection of common wire C (always light blue).
• No connection between the drive capacitor and the two drive terminals.
• If the leaf movement is opposite to what it should be, reverse the motor
drive connections in the control unit.
Leaf stops: when the operation time is insufficient, the leaves may not
complete their strokes. In that case, slightly increase the operation time
setting in the control unit.
16.2) Faulty operation of the electrical accessories
All faulty control and safety devices can cause abnormal operation or
automation block. If the control unit is provided with a self-diagnosing
system, identify the fault. In case of malfunction, it is advisable to disconnect

and bridge all the automation devices one by one, if necessary, until the
faulty device is identified. After replacing or repairing it, restore all the
devices which were previously disconnected or bridged. For all devices
installed, refer to their respective instruction manual.
Warning: the above operation must be carried out by qualified personnel.
During maintenance, the gate operational area must be appropriately
indicated and closed off, in order to avoid any danger to persons, animals
and property. Warnings: Correct controller operation is only guaranteed
when the data specified in this manual are respected. The company cannot
be held responsible for any damage caused by failure to observe the
standards on safety, installation and good technical practice, as well as the
directives specified in the present manual.
17) SCRAPPING
Warning: This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Materials must be disposed of in conformity with the current regulations.
In case of scrapping, the automation devices do not entail any particular
risks or danger. In case of recovered materials, these should be sorted out
by type (electrical components, copper, aluminium, plastic etc.).
18) DISMANTLING
Warning: This operation should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
When the automation system is disassembled to be reassembled on
another site, proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the power supply and the entire external electrical instal lation.
• Replace the bleed screw (fig.17) under the articulated joint block.
• In the case where some of the components cannot be removed or are
damaged, they must be replaced.

are not binding. The Company reserves the right to make any alterations
deemed appropriate for the technical, manufacturing and commercial
improvement of the product, while leaving the essential product
features unchanged, at any time and without undertaking to update
