and in compliance with the current safety standards"
9) MANUAL OPENING
In case of emergency, for example when the electrical power is discon-nected,
open the electric lock by means of the appropriate key to release the gate, and
open the leaf manually; you may also reach the release knob
to facilitate the manoeuvre. In order to get access to the release knob, move
the small cap in the direction indicated by the arrow (fig.18) to reveal the lock,
insert the key, turn it clockwise by 90° and lift the entire release cover by pulling
with the key. The knob must be allowed to turn as far as possible in the direction
indicated by the arrows.
OPEN to release: the gate can be opened manually with ease.
CLOSE to lock: turn the knob clockwise until it is completely locked, and so restore
the actuator electrical operation.
10) PUSHING FORCE ADJUSTMENT
For safety reasons, proceed as follows in order to get access to the adjustment valves:
• Move the release cover block cap in the direction indicated by the arrow
(fig.19) to reveal the lock.
• Insert the key, turn it clockwise by 90° and lift the entire block by pulling with
the key. Unscrew the two fixing screws and remove the entire release system.
• The pushing force is adjusted by two valves marked with the writing "Close"
and "Open" respectively, which are used to adjust the closing and opening
pushing force (fig.19).
Turn the valves towards the "+" sign to increase the force transmitted; turn the
valves towards the "-" sign to reduce the force. To achieve proper antisquash
safety, the pushing force must be slightly higher than that needed to move
the leaf during both closing and opening manoeuvres; the strength, which
is measured on the leaf edge, must never exceed the 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 cor-
rectly.
• 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).

INSTALLATION MANUAL
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 auto-
mation 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. War-
nings: 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 dama-
ged, they must be replaced.
The descriptions and illustrations contained in the present manual 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 the present publication.
