Preliminary checks
Before installation, always check that there are no broken product components, that the model selected is appropriate for the intended use and that the installation environment is suitable for the product.
IMPORTANT – The gearmotor must only be used for the automation of manual gates with an efficient and safe mechanical structure. It cannot correct defects due to bad installation or poor maintenance of the gate.

• Check that the mechanical structure of the gate is suitable for the installation of an automation system and in compliance with current local regulations (if necessary, check the data found on the label of the gate).
• Manually close and open the gate leaf, to make sure that there is an appropriate level of constant friction during the whole opening or closing movement (no points requiring increased effort).
• Check that when moved to any position between fully open and fully closed, the gate leaf keeps its balance, without movements.
• Make sure that around the gearmotor there is enough room to easily and safely release the gate leaves by hands.
• Make sure that the product is installed on a solid surface, so that it can be securely fastened.
• Make sure that the installation position is compatible with the overall size of the product.

King Gates declines all responsibility for damage to persons or things that occurred due to causes not directly attributable to the characteristics of the product and failure to comply with the installation procedures in accordance with current regulations.

Brackets installation scheme

1. Measure “E” and draw a horizontal line in the scheme at the corresponding value.
2. Choose a point on the drawn line, considering the desired opening angle. Draw a vertical line from that point and determinate the A value.
3. Verify that the A value allows the fixing of the rear bracket before continuing the installation, otherwise choose another point on the scheme.
4. Finally, bring the piston to the limit position (FIG. 2) but avoiding that the sliding pin touches the aluminum body.

CAUTION: If the installation measures are not properly followed, the automation may not work correctly. For example:

• Cyclical trends, and sudden accelerations
• Noise of the motor
• Limited opening degree or absent opening (in case of motor counter-lever configuration)

Installation scheme

Brackets height
Fix the brackets keeping 35 mm between the surfaces in order tofix the gear- motor horizontally. (FIG.3).

Fixing the gear-motor to the brackets

• Fixing the gear-motor to the rear brackets. (FIG. 4).
• Fixing the gear-motor to the front brackets (FIG. 5).

Manual override

• Before operating the manual override disconnect the power.
• Manual override has been thought for manual opening of the gate in case of power-cut or motor breakdown.
• Open the release cover cap
• Insert the supplied key into the special cylinder and turn it counterclockwise through 90 °.

RESTORE

• Insert the supplied key into the special cylinder and turn it clockwise through 90 °.
• Replace the cap in the original position.

Electrical connection

CAUTION!

• A wrong connection can cause faults or danger; therefore follow scrupulously the connections set out.
• Perform the connection operations when the electricity is off.

To connect the gear motor to the control unit, proceed as follows:

1. Remove the lid of the gear motor.
2. Slacken the gearmotor cable clamp, thread the connecting cable through the hole and connect the three electric wires.
3. Replace lid on gear motor.

To check the connections, direction of rotation of the motor, phase shift in the movement of the leaves and setting the limit switch, refer to the instructions manual of the control unit.

Stop adjustment
The mechanical-stop enables to stop the gate at a required position, avoiding the door to hit the stop devices.

• Set the gear-motor on manual override (FIG. 6).
• Twist off the screw of the mechanical-stop (B or D).
• Move the door to the desired opening/closing position.
• Place the mechanical-stop next to the sliding pin (C).
• Turn the screw tightly.
• Set the gear-motor on automatic functioning (FIG. 7).

WARNING: The gear-motors are normally provided with mechanical stop in open position. In case of lack of external mechanical stop in closing position, it is possible to buy the optional mechanical stop.

Testing the automation

In order to guarantee maximum safety, this is the most important phase in the realization of the automation. The test can also be used as a periodic check of the devices that make up the automatism.
The testing of the entire system must be performed by expert and qualified personnel who must take responsibility for the required tests, according to the present risk and verify compliance with the provisions of laws, regulations and standards, and in particular with all the requirements of the EN12445 standard which sets out the test methods to verify gate automatisms.

Testing
Every individual component of the automatism, for example safety edges, photocells, emergency stop, etc. requires a specific testing phase; for these devices, the procedures indicated in the respective instruction manuals must be carried out. To test the gear motor, carry out the following operations:

1. Check that all the provisions of this manual and in particular chapter 1 have been strictly adhered to;
2. Release the gear motor;
3. Verify that it is possible to manually move the opening and closing leaf with a force not exceeding 390 N (about 40kg);
4. Lock the gear motor and connect the power supply;
5. Using the control or stop devices provided (key selector, control buttons or radio transmitters), carry out tests to open, close and stop the gate and verify that its behaviour corresponds to what was expected;
6. Check one by one that all the safety devices present in the system (photocells, safety edges, emergency stop, etc.) work correctly; and that the gate’s behaviour corresponds to what is expected;
7. Order a closing manoeuvre and check the force of the impact of the leaf against the stop of the mechanical limit switch. If necessary, try to relieve the pressure by finding an adjustment that gives better results;
8. If the dangerous situations caused by the movement of the leaf have been safeguarded by limiting the impact force, this force must be measured according to the provisions of the EN 12445 standard;

Note – The gear motor has no torque adjustment devices, therefore, this adjustment is entrusted to the control unit.
Commissioning
Commissioning can only take place after all the testing phases of the gear motor and the other devices have been successfully completed. For commissioning, refer to the instruction manual of the control unit.

IMPO R TANT – Partial or “temporary” commissioning is prohibited.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance is required to maintain a constant level of safety and to guarantee the maximum life of the entire automation.
Maintenance must be carried out in full compliance with the safety requirements of this manual and in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations. For the gear motor, scheduled maintenance is required within a maximum of 6 months.

Maintenance operations

1. Disconnect all power sources.
2. Check the state of deterioration of all the materials that make up the automation with particular attention to the erosion or oxidation of the structural parts; replace the parts that do not give sufficient guarantees.
3. Check that screw connections are tightened properly.
4. Check the moving parts for wear and replace worn parts as required.
5. Reconnect the power supply sources and carry out all the tests and checks provided for in chapter 7.

For other devices in the system, refer to their instruction manuals.
