commands sent by the user via a transmitter. It can memorise up to 256
GTX4 transmitters (if memorised in "Mode I") and up to 6 pairs of PH100
photocells.
Connection of the control unit with the various devices is by means of
a single 2-wire cable ("ECSbus" system). The control unit can also be
mains-powered (230 V) or alternatively by the Mhouse PF photovoltaic
system.
If mains-powered, it can house a buffer battery (mod. PR1, optional
accessory) which guarantees a number of manoeuvres, during the hours
following a mains power failure). During the power failure, or at any other
time, the gate leaf can be moved manually if required, by first releasing the
gearmotor using the relative key (see chapter 11.3 - User's Guide).

PRELIMINARY CHECKS FOR INSTALLATION

3.1 - CHECKING SUITABILITY OF GATE TO BE AUTOMAT-
ED AND RELATIVE ENVIRONMENT
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the gate complies with current
national standards and that it is suitable for automation. For this check,
refer to the information specified on the gate dataplate. Important -
This product cannot be used to automate a gate that is not already effi-
cient and safe; furthermore it cannot solve defects caused by incorrect
gate installation or poor maintenance.
• Manually move the gate in both directions (opening/closing) and ensure
that friction is constant throughout travel (there must be no points of
increased or decreased force).
• If the leaf is fitted in a pedestrian pass door or a door onto the leaf
movement area, ensure that this door does not obstruct normal travel,
and install a suitable interlock device if necessary.
• Manually move the gate to any position; leave it stationary and ensure
that it does not move when left.
• Ensure that there is no risk of gate derailing or risks of exit from the
tracks.
• Ensure that the space around the site of gearmotor installation enables
safe and easy manual gate release.

Note - The data are based on a sliding gate balanced and in perfect condition maintenance
• Make sure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject to
flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the ground.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices
are solid and guarantee a stable fixture; as regards photocells, select a
flat surface that guarantees correct alignment between photocells (Tx
and Rx).
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and
protected against the risk of accidental impact.
3.2 - PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMIT
Before proceeding with installation, perform the following checks in the
specified sequence and ensure conformity both with the data in this para-
graph and the technical data provided in the chapter "Technical Specifica-
tions":
01. Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the gate are within the fol-
lowing limits of use:
SL1SC - maximum length 5 m
SL10SC - maximum length 7 m
02. Check the overall dimensions of the gearmotor (fig. 2). Note – These
measurements also serve as a reference to calculate the space
occupied by the foundation pit for routing the electrical cable ducting.
03. Ensure that the estimated lifetime is compatible with the intended use
(see paragraph 3.3).
04. Ensure that all limits, conditions and warnings in this manual can be
observed.

3.3 - PRODUCT DURABILITY

The lifetime is the average economic duration of the product. The value of
lifetime is strongly influenced by the intensity of the manoeuvres, i.e. the
sum of all factors that contribute to product wear, see Table 1. To estimate
the durability of your automation, proceed as follows:
01. Add up all the values in the items of Table A;
02. In Graph 1 from the value obtained above, trace vertical line until
it intersects the curve; from this point trace a horizontal line until it
intersects the line of the "manoeuvre cycles". The value obtained is
the estimated lifetime of your product.
The lifetime values specified in the graph are only obtainable if the mainte-
nance schedule is strictly observed (see chapter 9 - Maintenance sched-
ule). The estimation of lifetime is made on the basis of design calculations
and the results of tests performed on prototypes. As it is only an estima-
tion, it does not represent any form of guarantee on the effective lifetime
of the product.
Example of calculating lifetime: automation of a gate with a leaf length of
3.5 m with weight of 250 kg, for example, in a location near the sea. Table
1 states the "severity index" values for this type of installation: 10% ("Leaf
length"), 20% ("Leaf weight") and 15% ("Presence of dust, sand or brine").
These values must be added up to obtain the overall severity index, which
in this case is 45%.
