GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS
AND PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL WARNINGS
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. Follow all instruc-
tions as improper installation may cause serious damage.
• ATTENTION! - Important safety instructions. It is important for
you to comply with these instructions for your own and other
people's safety. Keep these instructions.
• Before commencing the installation, check the "Technical character-
istics" (in this manual), in particular whether this product is suitable
for automating your guided part. If it is not suitable, DO NOT contin-
ue with the installation.
• The product cannot be used before it has been commissioned as
specified in the chapter on "Testing and commissioning".
• ATTENTION! - According to the most recent European legisla-
tion, the implementation of an automation system must com-
ply with the harmonised standards provided by the Machinery
Directive in force, which enables declaration of the presumed
conformity of the automation. Taking this into account, all op-
erations regarding connection to the electricity grid, as well
as product testing, commissioning and maintenance, must be
performed exclusively by a qualified and skilled technician!
• Before proceeding with the installation of the product, check that all
the materials are in good working order and suited to the intended
applications.
• ATTENTION! - In order to avoid any danger from inadvertent
resetting of the thermal cut-off device, this appliance must
not be powered through an external switching device, such
as a timer, or connected to a supply that is regularly powered
or switched off by the circuit.
• Provide a disconnection device (not supplied) in the plant's power
supply grid, with a contact opening distance permitting complete dis-
connection under the conditions dictated by overvoltage category III.
• Handle the product with care during installation, taking care to avoid
crushing, denting or dropping it, or allowing contact with liquids of
any kind. Keep the product away from sources of heat and naked
flames. Failure to observe the above can damage the product, and
increase the risk of danger or malfunction. Should this happen, stop
installation immediately and contact Customer Service.
• The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage to property, items
or persons resulting from non-compliance with the assembly instruc-
tions. In such cases the warranty for material defects is excluded.
• The weighted sound pressure level of the emission A is lower than
70 dB(A).
• Before working on the system (maintenance, cleaning), always dis-
connect the product from the mains power supply.
• Check the system periodically, in particular all cables, springs and
supports to detect possible imbalances, signs of wear or damage.
Do not use, if repairs or adjustments are necessary, since installation
failure or an incorrectly balanced automation may cause injury.
• The packing materials of the product must be disposed of in compli-
ance with local regulations.
• When operating a biased-off switch, make sure that other persons
are kept away.
• When operating the gate, keep an eye on the automated mecha-
nism and keep all bystanders at a safe distance until the movement
has been completed.
• Do not operate the product if anyone is working nearby; disconnect
its power supply before permitting such work to be done.
• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufac-
turer or by an appointed servicing company or similarly qualified per-
son in order to prevent any form of risk.

INSTALLATION WARNINGS

• Prior to installing the drive motor, check that all mechanical compo-
nents are in good working order and properly balanced, and that the
automation moves correctly.
• If the gate or door being automated has a pedestrian gate, then the
system must include a control device that will inhibit the operation of
the motor when the pedestrian gate is open.
• Make sure that the control devices are kept far from moving parts
but nonetheless in a visible position. Unless a selector is used, the
control devices must be installed at a height of at least 1.5 m and
must not be accessible.
• Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surround-
ing fixed parts due to the opening movement of the driven part is
avoided.
• Permanently fix the label concerning the manual release adjacent to
its actuating member.
• After installing the drive motor, make sure that the mechanism, pro-
tective system and all manual manoeuvres operate properly.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
AND DESTINATION OF USE
This product is destined to be used to automate gates or doors with hinged
panels.
ATTENTION! – Any use different to that described and in environmental
conditions different to those stated in this manual must be considered
improper and prohibited!
The product is an electro-mechanical gear motor. The gear motor is powered
by the external control unit, to which it must be connected.
If the electric energy is interrupted (black-out), the gate panels can be moved
by releasing the gear motor using the relevant wrench; to perform the manual
manoeuvre, see chapter 8.
The product is available in the version:
• BFAB5024 with encoder, suitable for MC824H control units.
• LFAB4024 with encoder, suitable for MC824H control units.
• LFAB4000 with encoder, suitable for A6F / A60 control units.
ATTENTION! – Do not use gear motors with incompatible control units.

INSTALLATION
3.1 - Preliminary checks on installation
Before performing installation, check the integrity of the product components,
the adequacy of the model chosen and the suitability of the environment des-
tined for installation.
IMPORTANT – The gear motor cannot automate a manual gate that
does not have an efficient and safe mechanical structure. Moreover,
it cannot solve defects caused by incorrect installation or bad mainte-
nance of the gate itself.
3.2 - Suitability of the gate to automate and the surrounding
environment
• Check that the gate mechanical structure is suitable to be automated and
complies with the Standards in force on the territory (if necessary, refer to the
data given on the gate label).
• Moving the gate panel manually in Opening and in Closure, check that the
movement takes place with the same and constant friction in all points of the
run (there must not be moments of greater effort).
• Check that the gate panel stays in equilibrium, i.e. that is does not move if
taken manually into any position and left.
• Check that the space around the gear motor allows to manually release the
gate panels easily and safely.
• Envision end run retainers on the ground both for opening and closure of the
gate.
• Check that the gear motor fixing area is compatible with the clearance of the
latter (fig. 1).
3.3 - Limits of use for the product
Before installing the product, check that the gate panel has dimensions and
weight that lie within the limits given in graph 1; also evaluate the climatic con-
