to the provisions set out by current standards. Keep nylon or polystyrene
bags out of children's reach.
• Keep the instructions together with the technical brochure for future
reference.
• This product was exclusively designed and manufactured for the use spe-
cified in the present documentation. Any other use not specified in this
documentation could damage the product and be dangerous.
• The Company declines all r esponsibility for a ny c onsequences resulting from
improper use of the product, or use which is different from that expected
and specified in the present documentation.
• Do not install the product in explosive atmosphere.
• The construction components of this product must comply with the fol-
lowing European Directives: 2004/108/CEE, 2006/95/EEC, 98/37/EEC and
subsequent amendments. As for all non-EEC countries, the above-mentioned
standards as well as the current national standards should be respected in
order to achieve a good safety level.
• The Company declines all responsibility for any consequences resulting
from failure to observe Good Technical Practice when constructing closing
structures (door, gates etc.), as well as from any deformation which might
occur during use.
• The installation must comply with the provisions set out by the following
European Directives: 2004/108/CEE, 2006/95/EEC, 98/37/EEC and subse-
quent amendments.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on
the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
• Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply,
having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3,5 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 luminous signal indication 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 correct 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 auto-
mation system, and always request the assistance of qualified personnel.
• Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions, is
not allowed.
• Check that the stated temperature range is compatible with the place
where the operator is to be installed.
• If present, the hold button (hold-to-run control) must be fitted within sight
of the door but away from the moving parts, at a height of 1.5 m, and must
not be accessible to the public.
• If the operator is fitted at a height lower than 2.5 m, you must guarantee an
adequate degree of protection for the electrical and mechanical parts.
INSTALLATION MANUAL
• Make sure that squashing is avoided between the moving parts and
• After completing the installation, ensure that the motor is set correctly and

2) GENERAL OUTLINE

Electromechanical operator designed to automate residential-type gates.
The gearmotor keeps the gate blocked on closing and on opening, without
needing an electric lock for leaves up to 1,8 m long (PHOBOS N), to 3 m long
(PHOBOS N L).
The operator has no mechanical clutch. It must be controlled by an electronic
control panel provided with torque setting. The end-of-stroke operation is
managed by the control panel.

4) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR

4.1) 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
• Repair or replace faulty or worn parts.
The diagram in fig. 2 should be used as a reference for installation and consult
the table for the distances in mounting the gate post.

4.2) How to read the installation distance tables (Fig.2)
Select "a" and "b" according to the angle in degrees α° that the gate has to open. The
optimum "a" and "b" values for 92° opening at constant speed are highlighted.
If there is too large a difference between "a" and "b", the leaf will not travel
smoothly and the pushing or pulling force will fluctuate during its stroke.
To respect the opening speed and ensure the controller operates correctly, it
is best to keep the difference between "a" and "b" as low as possible.

etc.) required to protect the area from any danger of squashing, drawing
