PRELIMINARY INSTALLATION WORK

Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product compo-
nents, suitability of the selected model and conditions of the intended installa-
tion environment.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor
not fully efficient and safe Neither can it solve defects caused by
.
poor installation or insufficient maintenance of the door itself.
3.1 – CHECKING SUITABILITY OF THE ENVIRONMENT AND THE
DOOR TO BE AUTOMATED
• In the case of automating a projecting up-and-over door, ensure that move-
ment does not obstruct public roads or pavements.
• Ensure that the mechanical structure of the door is suitable for automation
and complies with local standards.
• Check stability of the mechanical structure of the door, ensuring that there is
no risk of guides coming out of their seats.
• Move the door manually to open and close, checking that movement has the
same degree of friction throughout all points of travel (no increase in friction
must occur).
• Ensure that the door is correctly balanced: in other words, if left stationary
(manually) it must not move from any position.
• Ensure that the space around the automation enables safe and easy manual
release.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for installation of the various devices are
solid and guarantee a stable fixture.
• Ensure that all devices to be installed are in a sheltered location and protect-
ed against the risk of accidental impact.
• Ensure that the selected surfaces for fixing the photocells are flat and enable
correct alignment between photocells.
3.2 – CHECKING PRODUCT APPLICATION LIMITS
To ascertain suitability of the product with respect to the specific features of the
door and area to be automated, the following checks should be performed as
well as a check for compliance of the technical data in this paragraph and the
chapter "Product technical specifications".
• Ensure that the dimensions and weight of the door are within the following
limits of use:
Sectional doors
Projecting
up-and-over doors
Non-projecting
up-and-over doors
WARNING!
*
cannot be used to power a door that is
SHEL50KIT SHEL75KIT
350 x 240 cm 400 x 240 cm
350 x 280 cm 400 x 280 cm
350 x 220 cm 400 x 220 cm
Note – The shape of the door and weather conditions, such as the presence of
strong winds, can reduce the above maximum values. In these cases it is
important to measure the force required to move the door in the worst condi-
tions and compare these with the technical specifications of the gearmotor.
• Ensure that the area for mounting the gearmotor and guide is compatible with
the overall dimensions of the automation to be installed. Then ensure that the
minimum and maximum clearances can be observed as shown in fig. 3, 4 and 5.
Caution! – If the results of these checks do not conform to specifica-
tions, this model cannot be used to automate your door.
STEP 4
4.1 – PRELIMINARY SET-UP WORK
4.1.1 – Typical reference system
Fig. 6, 7, 8 provide an example of an automation system set up with the com-
ponents compatible with this product. These parts are positioned according to
a typical standard layout. The following components are used:
a - Electromechanical gearmotor
b - Carriage sliding guide
c - drive carriage
d - mechanical stop for carriage travel limit
e - carriage manual release knob
f - bracket for connection of carriage to door
g - pair of photocells (wall-mounted) mod. MOF/MOFO
h - radio control keypad (wall-mounted) mod. MOTXR
i - portable transmitter mod. FLO4R-S
l - Pushbutton
4.1.2 – Establishing positions of components
With reference to figs. 6, 7, 8, locate the approximate position for installation
of each component envisaged in the system.
4.1.3 – Establishing the device connection layout
With reference to fig. 10 and STEP 6 establish the connection layout for all sys-
tem devices.
4.1.4 – Checking the tools required for the work
Before starting installation, ensure that there is all equipment and materials
required for the work concerned (see example in fig. 9); also ensure that all
items are in good condition and comply with local safety standards.
4.1.5 – Preliminary set-up work
Dig the routes for the ducting used for electrical cables, or alternatively external
ducting can be laid, after which the pipelines can be embedded in concrete and
other preparation work for the installation can be completed to finalise the site
ready for subsequent installation operations.
CAUTION! – Position the ends of the ducting used for electrical cables in
the vicinity of the points envisaged for fixture of the various components.
Notes:
• The ducting serves to protect electrical cables and prevent accidental dam-
age in the event of impact.
• The "fixed" control devices must be visible from the door but positioned far
from moving parts and at a minimum height of 150 mm.
4.2 – LAYING THE ELECTRIC CABLES
With the exception of the system connection to the mains by means of the plug
and socket, the rest of the system runs on very low voltage (approx. 24 V) and
therefore laying of electric cables may be performed by personnel with standard
skills, provided that all instructions in this manual are strictly observed.
For laying electric cables, refer to fig. 10 specifying the type of cable to be used
for each connection.
WARNINGS:
– While laying the electrical cables, do NOT make any electrical connec-
tions.
– Arrange for a qualified electrician to install a Shuko 16 A socket, suitably
protected, for insertion of the gearmotor power plug. The socket must be
positioned so that after connection of the power cable plug, the cable
does not hang in the vicinity of mobile parts or hazardous areas.
