SYSTEM LAY-OUT

TECHNICAL FEATURES
PLUS is a series of linear irreversible operators, suitable for opening gates with a leaf length of up to 5 metres (Fig.1).
The PLUS operators use mechanical stoppers, thus avoiding the need for electrical limit switches.
On reaching the travel limit, the motor continues to operate for a few seconds, until the timer of the control unit cuts in.

1. PLUS operator
2. Tuned aerial
3. Flashing lamp
4. Key selector
5. Photoelectric cells (external)

• With incorporated mechanical stop that cuts in during opening. – If the mechanical stop is used during closing (optional), the maximum travel is reduced by 40 mm.

INSTALLATION

PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKS
The leaf must be fixed firmily on the hinges to the pillars, must not be flexible during the movement and must move without frictions.
Before the installation of PLUS, verify all dimensions etc.
There’s no need for any modification, if the gate is like that shown in Fig.

1. Gate features must be uniformed with the standards and laws in force. The gate can be automated only if it is in a good condition and its conditions comply with the EN 12604 norm.

• The gate leaf does not have to have a pedestrian opening. In the opposite case it is necessary to take the appropriate steps, in accordance with EN 12453 norm (for instance; by preventing the operation of the motor when the  pedestrian opening is opened, by installing a safety microswitch connected with the control panel).
• No mechanical stop shall be on top of the gate, since mechanical stops are not safe enough.

FIXING THE ACTUATOR ATTACHMENT TO THE COLUMN
To obtain a correct movement of the leaf gate it is necessary to respect the measures (to see the TABLES of the measures).
COLUMN ATTACHMENT FOR PLUS OPERATOR
(code BA10151)
If the column is in iron, the attack can be screwed directly using four metric screws M8.
If the column is in concrete, the attack can be fixed with four expansion screws Ø 8 mm (Fig. 2-3).
In the case you have a wall parallel with the open gate, you must provide a niche in which to place the operator.

COLUMN ATTACHMENT FOR PLUS L OPERATOR
(code BA10153)
To obtain a correct movement of the leaf gate it is necessary to respect the measures.
If there is an iron pillar you can weld the attachment directly.
If there is a cement pillar, you can use the fixing plate as in Fig. 5 which is fastened with 4 Fischer-screws of Ø 8 mm.
There is also the possibility to cement the attachment welding an anchor at its base Fig. 6.
Naturally you have to respect predetermined fixing measures.
Afterwards you must weld the other actuator’s attachment to the gate (Fig. 8).
In the case you have a wall parallel with the open gate, you must provide a niche in which to place the operator.
FIXING THE OPERATOR ATTACHMENT TO THE GATE (to see the TABLES of the measures).
Before inserting the pin into the gate attachment, grease thoroughly.
Weld the base at the right height (Fig. 8).
Fix the PLUS and try several times to open and to close the gate, controlling that the operator does not touch the moving gate.

• In the case of leaf longer than 2,5 metres, an electric lock must be fitted to ensure efficient closing.
  If the pillar is too large, and it is not possible to adjust the actuator respecting the measure (B), you must make a niche in the pillar or you have to move the gate to the edge of the pillar.
  With PLUS L it is possible to open the gate at an angle of up to 140° with these dimensions: A=0, B=120, C=240.

MECHANICAL STOPPER – OPTIONAL
Code ACG4810
Optional mechanical stopper to stop closing, if the gate is not fitted with a floor stop (Fig. 11).

MECHANICAL STOPPER ADJUSTMENT
To adjust the stoppers you have to follow the scheme (Fig. 12).
To set the opening limit it’s enough to fix the stopper (A) in the needed position by tightening the 8mA screw with a n.13 key.
To obtain the desired closing limit you must adjust the stopper (B) (OPTIONAL) in the needed position and tighten it as for stopper (A).

EMERGENCY RELEASE
To move the gate manually it is necessary to release the operator inserting the special key and turning it in the clockwise sense (Fig. 14).
In order to carry out the manual operation of the gate leaf the followings must be checked:

• That the gate is endowed with appropriate handles;
• That these appropriate handles are placed so to avoid safety risks for the operator;
• That the physical effort necessary to move the gate leaf should not be higher than 225 N, for doors/gates for private dwellings, and, 390N for doors/gates for commercial and industrial sites ( values indicated in 5.3.5 of the EN 12453 norm).

ELECTRICAL SAFETY DEVICES
The installation must be installed according to the current regulations and laws.
It is recommended that the following electronic control units be used:
