power cable and pass the cable over board "B" as shown in the picture
Tighten nut "D" until the power cable is clamped.
N.B. The board "B" can be fitted onto both the right and left of the base "F",
as required (see picture).
The bottom of board "B" has a spiralled recess to eventually receive a
spiralled sheath "GS" in PVC (Ø = 12).
8) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP
Set the electrical plant (fig. 19) according to the current standards for
electrical plants (CEI 64-8, IEC364, Harmonization HD384 and other
national regulations. Keep the power supply connections definitely separated
from the auxiliary connections (photocells, rubber skirts, control devices, etc.).
WARNING: For the power supply connection, use a multipolar cable with
a 3x1mm 2 minimum section as prescribed by the above mentioned standards
(for example, a H07RN-F cable with 3x1mm
Perform the connections of the control and safety devices in compliance
with the above mentioned standards.
Fig. 19 indicates the number of connections and the sections for 100 m.
long power supply cables. For distances of over 100 m., calculate the cable
section depending on the automation actual load. If the length of the
auxiliary connections exceeds 50 metres or if they pass through critical
areas subject to disturbances, we advise to disconnect the control and
safety devices with suitable relays.

IMPORTANT: Before operating the actuator electrically, unscrew the
bleeder screw "S" (fig. 20)found under the joint block and keep it for
future uses. Remove the bleeder screw "S" only after having installed
the actuator.
9) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE
The adjustment is made by two valves marked "close" and "open" which
control the pushing force during closing and opening respectively.
By turning the valves towards "+", the force is increased, while by turning
them towards "-" it is reduced.
To ensure an adequate antisquash safety, the pushing force must be
adjusted to just over the push needed to move the leaf, both in closing and
opening. In any event, the pushing force at the end of the leaf, must not
exceed the limits prescribed by current national regulations. For no reason
should the adjustment valves (bypass) be fully closed.
The actuator does not have electric limit switches. Therefore the motors
stop when the working time set in the control unit has expired. The time set
must be increased by 2-3 sec.'s with respect to the time in which the leaves
reach the ground gate stops.
10) MANUAL OPENING
10.1) Versions with hydraulic lock
In case of emergency, for example during a power cut, the gate can be
released by inserting the same key "C" used to adjust the bypass valve into
the triangular pivot "P" found under the actuator (fig. 21) and turning it anti-
clockwise. The gate can then be opened manually following the same
speed as an automatic opening.
To restore the actuator to electrical operation, turn the key clockwise until
pivot "P" is locked.
10.1) Versions without hydraulic lock
It is sufficient to open the electric lock with its key and move the
leaf manually.
11) COVER POSITIONS
WARNING: In the LUX G models, it may be necessary to add a 25 mm lining
under the fork "F" (fig. 23) to avoid any collision during the movement, The
"C" cover of all LUX models can be changed from right to left by inverting
the position of the cap "T" (fig. 24).

2 section).
To fit the bypass guard (fig. 25), place it in position and insert it under the
rod cover "C".
12) CHECKING THE AUTOMATION
Before considering the automation completely operational, the following
checks must be made with great care:
- Check that all the components are firmly anchored.
- Control that all the safety means work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic
skirt, etc.).
- Check the emergency manoeuvre control.
- Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.
- Check the control unit's electronic logic in normal
(orcustomised) operation.
13) USE OF THE AUTOMATION
Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start
button, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist.
Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automation.
14) THE CONTROLS
The controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled,
limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation
characteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult the
specific instruction booklets.
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and controls.

15) MAINTENANCE

All maintenance on the controller must be performed with the system's
power supply shut off.
- Check periodically for oil leaks. To top-up the oil proceed as follows:
a) Screw in the bleeder screw (fig. 20) and remove the controller from the gate.
b) Push the rod right back.
c) Set the controller upright and unscrew the cap O (fig. 18).
d) Use the same type of oil to top up the level until the motor bearing under
the cap "O" is covered.
e) Close the cap "O" and mount the controller back onto the gate.
f) Remove the bleeder screw.
g) Run through 2 complete manoeuvres collecting the excess oil from the
bleeder.
- Check the safety elements on the gate and drive unit.
- For any malfunction that remains unsolved, shut off the power to the
system and call a qualified specialist (the installer). During a breakdown,
use the manual release to allow the gate to be opened and closed by
hand.
16) TROUBLE SHOOTING
16.1) Faulty operation of the gearmotor
- Use a suitable instrument to check if there is a voltage across the gear-
motor terminals when an open or close command has been given
- If the motor vibrates but does not turn, this may be due to:
- the common wire C is wrongly connected (it is always light blue)
- the drive capacitor is not connected to the two drive terminals
- if the leaf moves in the wrong direction, invert the drive connections of
the motor in the control unit
LEAF STOP: when the operating time set in the control unit is too short, the
leaves may not have time to complete their stroke. Slightly raise the
operating time in the control unit.
16.2) Faulty operation of the electrical accessories
If any of the control and safety components are faulty, this can cause
malfunctions or a breakdown of the whole automation.
If the control unit is equipped with a self-diagnostics system, identify the fault.
In case of a fault, it is wise to disconnect each of the components in the
automation one at a time, until the one that is causing the fault is found.
After having repaired or replaced it, restore all the components that were
disconnected. For details on each component, refer to its specific
instruction manual.
WARNING: Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified
specialist. When carrying out maintenance operations, the area around the
gate should be well marked and barred in order to prevent accidents to
people, animals and objects.
WARNINGS:
Trouble-free operation of the controller can only be guaranteed if the
data given in this manual is respected.
The manufacturer is not liable for damages caused by the failure to
respect safety rules, installation recommendations and instructions
given in this manual.
