PRESENTING THE AUTOMATISM
It is necessary to make a distinction between two motorization types:
1_
reversing motor =
2_
non reversing motor =
Consequently we suggest installing the electric lock in two cases:
1
-
the motor is of the reversing type and wing length exceeds 1.6
st
metres
2
-
irrespective of the type of motor, if the wing is very long and
nd
consequently subject to oscillation during the opening and
closing manoeuvres.
Upon request the ZIP gearmotor can be provided with limit switches
inside the motor.
CONSIDERATIONS PRIOR TO INSTALLATION
The system you have chosen brilliantly resolves all the most common
problems that may arise in the residential type installations but there
are just a few suggestions we would like to make:
1. Install the gear motor as near as possible to the gate you wish to
automatize; never install it anywhere-it would hinder opening.
2. Since the length of the articulated arm determines the fixing point
of the bracket for hooking to the gate, we suggest that:
-
keeping the length of the part of the arm connected to the mo-
tor at least two or three centimetres longer than its minimum
length;
-
keeping the length of the part of the arm connected to the gate
just a few centimetres shorter than its maximum length.
3. Before fixing the bracket try and move the gate manually (with the
gearmotor disconnected) and see whether or not the automation
can open to the extent required.
Note: for complete safety, the mechanical stops with rubber cap
(floor stops) must be fitted in opening and closing of the gate, as
shown in fig. 13 and in fig. 14.
ANCHORING THE PLATE (fig. 3)
To secure them use expansion bolts (with brickwork pillar) or bore and
tap (if the plate is joined to a metal structure).
FIXING THE BRACKET FOR HOOKING TO THE GATE (fig. 4)
Use self-threading screws to fix the bracket where established accord-
ing to the selection "Considerations prior to installation".
INSTALLING AND ANCHORING THE GEARMOTOR
The arm is of the articulated type so it is necessary, during installa-
tion, to determine the correct position when both wings are closed (ex-
plained in fig. 5). Unlock the gearmotor to facilitate operations.
After having fixed the anchoring plate and bracket, proceed as follows:
1_ anchor the gearmotor to the plate using 4 M6x120 hexagonal head
screws, 4 washers Ø 6x12x1,2 and 4 M6 high self-locking nuts as
shown in the drawing;
2_ to fasten, make use of the 4 through holes on the gearmotor alu-
minium case; place the washer between the nut and the motor;
3_ secure the rod with boss to the motor output shaft, by fixing a bolt;
make sure the rod is firmly secured and cannot come away acci-
dentally during use;
4_ with the screw and nut secure the rod with holes to the bracket
fixed to the gate wing;
5_ after passing the cables for the electrical connection, using the
holes on the plate, put the casing in position and secure it with the
2 M6x40 screws as shown in fig. 7 and in fig. 8.

Note: Do not force the Allen key (A fig. 10) but move the leaf door at
the same time to make sure it has been released.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO THE MOTOR
•
Connect, making use of the free hole in the anchoring plate.
•
Protect the cables with a flexible sheath.
•
Minimum cable section should be1,5 mm².
•
By reversing connections, the motor should reverse rotating direc-
tion.
Place the control unit (external versions) in the imme-
diate vicinity of the
Be careful not to run cables for auxiliary devices in-
side raceways housing other cables supplying power
to large loads or lights with electronic
In the event control pushbuttons or indicator lights are
installed inside homes or offices several metres from
the actual control unit, it is advisable to decouple the
signal by means of a relay in order to avoid induced
interference.
GENERAL ADVICE
-
Install a gate safety system that complies with current regulation.
-
Choose short routes for cables and keep power cables separate
from control ones.
-
Install the control card inside a waterproof box.
-
Earth the geared motor properly.
-
Please refer to current regulations when setting the geared motor's
maximum torque.
-
We advise you to install an outdoor switch, in compliance with
European standards on the issue of safety, turn the electricity off
when servicing the gate.
-
Check that each single device installed is efficient and effective.
-
Affix easily readable signs, warning about the presence of a motor-
ized gate.
-
Although the gearmotor can be equipped with all the safety de-
vices, we warmly recommend you keep all the devices that control
the opening of the gate and that can accidentally be used without
supervision, well out of the reach of children or unskilled persons.
USE
The ZIP gear motor has been designed to move vertical swing gates
with leafs no longer than 3500 mm.
It is absolutely forbidden to use the device for any other purposes or
under circumstances different from those mentioned.
The electronic unit (that must have the built-in electric clutch) normally
makes it possible for you to choose from:
automatic:
a command pulse will open and shut the gate
semiautomatic:
a command pulse will open or shut the gate
In case you operate the gate manually you first have to "unlock" it. Re-
member that this is an automatic device which is powered by electric-
ity, consequently use it with care. In particular, remember:
•
do not touch it with wet hands and/or wet or bare feet
•
turn the electricity off before opening the control box and/or gear-
motor
•
do not touch the motor unless you are sure it is cold
•
only operate the door when it is completely visible
•
keep out of the door's range of action if it is moving: wait until it has
stopped
•
do not let children or animals play near the door
•
do not let children, or incapable people, use the remote control or
other operating devices
•
carry out routine maintenance
•
in the case of a failure, turn the electricity off and operate the door
manually only if it is possible and safe to do so. Refrain from touch-
ing the door and call an authorised technician.
WIND PRESSURE
Note: Falls der Getriebemotor an einem Tor mit durchgehend ausge-
fachtem Drehflügel installiert wird, muss die Motorkraft an Orten mit
ständigem Wind so eingestellt sein, dass sie auf jeden Fall kleiner
als 15 Kg Höchstschub ist (gemessen am Ende der anschlagen-
den Kante, wie vorgesehen von den Normen prEN 13241 und prEN
12635); falls die Kraft so eingestellt wird, dass sie diese Sicherheits-
grenze überschreitet, übernimmt die Firma TAU keinerlei Haftung für
die eventuelle Gefährdung Personen.
