   Automated system for residential or industrial sliding gates with a maximum of 2000kgs.

It consists of a reversing electro-mechanical gearmotor, powered by a 230V control unit.

The automated system  houses a programmable electronic control board that enables setting of

function logics, work time and pause time, anti-crushing sensitivity as well as partial-opening width.

The reversing system guarantees the gate will automatically lock when the motor is not operating.

A release system enables the gate to be moved by hand in case of malfunction or emergency.

The automated system was designed and built for controlling sliding gates. Do not use for any

other purpose.

Note:

1) To lay down electric cables, use rigid and/or flexible adequate tubes.

2) To avoid any kind of interference, always separate low voltage connection cables from AC230V power

cables.

3) The description of system is standard system, but we did not provide all parts. 

If you want system accessories, please contact us.

You must check the operator packing before installing the automated system.

7.1. Preliminary checks

To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following conditions are 

applied:

- The structure of the gate must be suitable for being automated. In particular, check that the structure 

is sufficiently strong and rigid, and that its dimensions and weight conform to those indicated in the 

technical specifications;

- Make sure that the gate slides without any inclination;

- Make sure that the gate moves uniformly and correctly, without any irregular friction during its entire 

travel;

- The soil must permit sufficient stability for the expansion plugs securing the foundation plate;

- Remove any locks and lock bolts. We advise you to have any metalwork carried out before the

automated system is installed.

7.2. Preparing the foundation plate

Fit the 4 supplied nuts, as shown in Fig. 07 and Fig. 08, in the 4 holes of the plate.

a) The foundation plate must be located as shown in Fig. 9a (right closing) or Fig. 9b (left closing) to 

ensure the rack and pinion match correctly.

Fig. 10

Fig. 11

Fig. 12

b) Put the foundation plate to the floor, using adequate expansion plugs and provide one or more

tubes for routing the electric cables through the plate (Fig10 and 11).

Using a level, check if the plate is perfectly horizontal.

7.4.  Positioning the operator

Lay the electric cables to connect motor to accessories and power supply as shown in Fig. 4. 

To facilitate making the connections, allow the cables to project by the required length for

connection to the control board, transformer and etc (if provided).

Position the operator on the plate, using the supplied screws as shown in Fig. 12.

7.5. Adjusting the operator

Adjust the distance of the operator from the gate by referring to Fig.13.

7.6. Fixing operator

Fix the operator slightly tightening the screws as shown in Fig. 14.

After fixing the motor, screw cover (Fig. 15 and 16).

IMPORTANT:

After the installation, you must remove the

exhaust screw (Applicable in OL1500 and 2000)

- Prepare the rack to be applied. Putting

these spacers in all holes of the rack in

order to be completely secure.

After the upper-cover fixed, please install the side-cover (Fig. 17).

7.7. Releasing the operator

Prepare the operator for manual operating mode as described below:

Insert supplied key on the lock, turn it clockwise 90° (Fig.18), pull and open the manual release (Fig.19).

7.8. Installing the rack

a) Manually put the gate leaf in the closed position.

b) Positioning the first rack part to be bolted, supported on the pinion and with help of  the level  and

clamping tool, keep it horizontally leveled.

After opened the manual release, you can operate the door manually.

c) Move the gate to manually back and forth, to ensure that the gear rack is properly seated on the 

pinion and movement occurs smoothly.

d) Set the rack in the gate. (Fig. 21) .To ensure a correct fixation, can go slowly moving the gate and 

setting the gate spacers always near the pinion.

e) Pull another element of the rack above, using a piece of additional rack teeth to synchronize the two 

elements (Fig. 22).

f ) Use a level again to make sure that rack is perfectly level.

g) Manually move the gate and carry out the operations of attachment such as with the first element, 

proceeding up to the end of the gate.

NOTE: This motor can work with all types of racks.

When installing nylon rack, make the application following the same steps described in the previous

paragraphs.

Start by placing the gate in the closed position, support the first meter of rack pinion on the engine and

keeping it level horizontally, screw the first screw.

Go opening the gate and tightening the remaining bolts.

Continue adding more rack parts and repeating the same steps to complete the installation.

NOTES:

- Make sure that, during the gate travel, all the rack elements mesh correctly with the pinion.

- Do not, on any occasion, weld the rack elements either to the spacers. For fixing these, use screws and

washers like in the Fig.20.

- Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack and pinion.

8) MAINTENANCE 

a) After having rack nstalled, take the gate back to the closed position and position the limit swicth plate

on the rack. In this closed position, the plate should trigger the limit switch of the motor.

b) Tighten the screws DIN912 M5x12 included in the pack, until it touches the rack, squeezing it.

c) Move the gate to the open position and repeat the same process for the other limit switch plate.

Carry out the following operations at least every 6 months.

-  Check the efficiency of the release system.

-  Check the efficiency of the safety devices and accessories.
