Installation area

• Before installation, ensure that the installation location complies with the provisions of the current standards. In particular, the position in which the motorisation  mechanism will be fitted must allow for safe and easy manual release of the gate.
• Ensure that there are no danger zones (risk of crushing, cutting, trapping) between the gate and the surrounding fixed elements caused by the opening movement of the  gate.
• Do not install the product in an explosive environment.
• Maintain a clear area of 500 mm behind the gate when it is completely open.

Installation

• Before installation, ensure that the gate frame conforms to current standards, particularly:
• The gate sliding rail must be straight and horizontal and the wheels must be able to support the weight of the gate.
• The gate should be able to be moved easily, manually, over its entire travel and there should be no sign of excessive side sway.
• The upper guide should allow the gate exact clearance to ensure regular, silent movement.
• End stops must be installed on the ground at both the opening and closing ends.
• On a barred gate, if the bars are more than 40 mm apart, install an appropriate safety device to prevent cutting.
• Watch the gate while it is moving.
• Manual unlocking may result in uncontrolled movement of the gate leaf.
• Place the fixed control devices and remote controls out of the reach of children.
• Any switch without a locking device must be installed in direct view of the gate and away from any mobile parts. The minimum height at which it must be installed is 1.5 m. It must not be accessible to the public.

During installation of the motorisation

• Remove any jewellery (bracelets, chains, etc.).
• For drilling and welding operations, wear special glasses and sufficient protection.
• Use the appropriate tools.
• Do not connect to the mains or to a backup battery before installation is complete.
• Be careful when handling the motorisation system to prevent any risk of injury.

Power supply

• In order to operate, the motor must be supplied with 230 V 50 Hz. The electric line should:
• solely be used for the motor,
• have a minimum cross section of 1.5 mm²,
• be fitted with an approved all-pole switch with contact openings of at least 3.5 mm, fitted with a protection device (fuse or circuit breaker with a 16 A rating) and a  differential device (30 mA),

INSTALLATION

The motorisation must be disengaged during installation.

assembling the manual release handle
[1]. Insert the release handle into the specific housing on the motor.
[2]. Tighten the release handle.
[3]. Fit the screw cover.
Unlocking the motor
[1]. Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the left.
[2]. Turn the release handle to the right.

Do not forcibly push the gate. Hold the gate over its entire travel during manual manoeuvres.

installing the motorisation
Fitting the mounting system
The motor mounting kit provided is to be used on a concrete base. For all other types of mounting, use the appropriate fittings.
[1]. Position the base plate:

• parallel to the gate,

• with the symbol on the pinion pointing towards the gate,

• by moving it by 25 mm in relation to the front line of the rack (if the rack is fitted with a cover, measure from the line on the rack, not on the cover),

• so that it does not obstruct movement and to ensure the gate is able to open and close completely.
  [2]. Mark the location for the ground mountings.
  [3]. Drill to a depth of 85 mm.
  [4]. Insert the plugs.
  [5]. Tighten the lag screws on:

• the threaded section for a rack height of between 110 and 130 mm,

• the threaded section + the unthreaded section for a rack height of between 100 and 110 mm.

To facilitate tightening of the lag screws, use 2 nuts to form a “double nut”.
[6]. Screw a nut onto each lag screw.
[7]. Place the base plate onto the lag screws with the symbol on the pinion pointing towards the gate. It must be a minimum of 23 mm from the ground.

Mounting the motor

1. Position the motor on the lag screws, insert it and push it towards the gate.

2. Ensure the pinion is correctly positioned under the rack.

3. Set the height of the motor and/or the rack to ensure a clearance of approximately 2 mm between the rack and the pinion. This setting is important to prevent premature wear of the pinion and rack; the pinion must not be supporting the weight of the gate.

4. Check:
   • that the setting nuts all come into contact with the base of the motor,
   • the motor is level,
   • the gate runs correctly,
   • the clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary significantly over the gate’s travel.

5. Fit a washer and nut onto each lag screw in order to fit the motor.
   

Fitting the end limit brackets

1. Manually move the gate to the open position.
2. Position a bracket onto the rack so that it activates the motor end limit contact.
3. Screw the bracket onto the rack.
4. Manually move the gate to the closed position then repeat steps 2 and 3 to fit the second bracket to the rack.

Connection to the power supply
Connect the live (L) to terminal 1 on the motor.
Connect the neutral (N) to terminal 2 of the motor.
Connect the earth wire to the earth terminal on the base of the motor.
switch on the power to the installation before commissioning.

The transformer is prewired (terminals 3 and 4). Do not alter the connections.

Before quick commissioning

1. Ensure the rail is clean.
2. Manually move the gate to the intermediate position.

Re-engage the motorisation

1. Turn the release handle to the left.
2. Move the gate manually until the drive mechanism re-locks.
3. Turn the key a quarter of a turn to the right.

QUICk COMMISSIONING

Memorising the keygo io remote controls for operation in complete opening mode
If this procedure is carried out using a channel which has already been memorised, this channel will be cleared.

1. Press and hold the “ProG” button (2 s) on the programming interface. The screen displays “F0”.
2. Press the outer left and right buttons on the remote control together. The remote control indicator light flashes.
3. Press the button of the remote control that will open the gate fully. The screen displays “Add”.
   

Auto-programming
Auto-programming allows the gate’s speed, maximum torque and slowdown zones to be adjusted.

• Auto programming the gate’s travel is essential when commissioning the motor.
• The gate must be in the intermediate position before auto-programming starts.
• During auto-programming, the obstacle detection function is not active. Remove any objects or obstacles and do not allow any persons near or inside the operating range of the motorisation.

Start auto-programming

1. Press and hold the “sEt” button (2 s). Release the button when the screen displays “h1”.
2. Press “ok” to start auto-programming.
   Auto-programming must start with the gate being opened.
   The gate performs two complete Opening and Closing cycles.
   To carry out an emergency stop during self-learning, use a stored remote control.

• If auto-programming starts with the gate being closed, stop auto-programming, push the slide as shown opposite then restart auto-programming.

• If auto-programming is correct, the display indicates “C1”.

• If auto-programming has not completed correctly, the display indicates “h0”.

Auto-programming can be interrupted by:

• activating a safety input (photoelectric cells, etc.)
• the appearance of a technical fault (thermal protection, etc.)
• pressing a control button (motor electronics, memorised remote control, wired control point, etc.).

In case of interruption, the display indicates “h0” and the motor returns to “awaiting setting” mode.
During auto-programming, if the gate is stationary, pressing “sEt” will exit auto-programming mode.
Note: It is possible to access auto-programming mode at any time including when the auto-programming cycle has already been completed and the display indicates “C1”.

OPERATING TEST

CONNECTING ADDITIONAL DEVICE

Description of the various additional devices
Photoelectric cells (fig. 1)
Three types of connection are possible:
a: without autotest: programme parameter “P07” = 1.
b: with autotest: programme parameter “P07” = 3.
Allows an automatic test to be carried out to check the operation of the photoelectric cells each time the gate moves.
If the operating test result is negative, the gate cannot be moved until the operating mode changes to deadman operation (after 3 minutes).
C: bus: programme parameter “P07” = 4. Auto-programming must be repeated after the cell BUS has been connected.

MEMORISING THE REMOTE CONTROL

General information
Remote control types
There are two types of remote control:

• monodirectional: Keygo io, Situo io, Smoove io
• bidirectional with information feedback function (remote controls indicate the movement in progress and issue confirmation of correct operation): Keytis io,Telis 1 io,  Telis Composio io, Impresario Chronis io

Memorising the remote controls
There are two ways to memorise a remote control:

• memorising via the programming interface.
• memorising by copying a previously memorised remote control.

Each control button is memorised individually.
Memorising a button which has already been memorised will clear this button’s function.

Meaning of displayed codes
Memorising the keygo io remote controls memorising via the programming interface

• COMPLETE opening control

Memorising by copying a previously memorised keygo io remote control
This operation is used to copy the programming from a previously memorised remote control button.

1. Press the outer left and right buttons on the previously memorised remote control together until the green indicator light flashes.
2. Press and hold the button to be copied on the previously memorised remote control for 2 seconds.
3. Briefly press the outer left and right buttons on the new remote control together.
4. Briefly press the selected button to actuate the motorisation on the new remote control.
