GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT

Dardo 424 is a 24 Vdc electromechanical operator for external mount on swinging gates in residential and block of flats applications. It comes in a kit format to operate two gate leafs. Command and safety accessories for a proper performance are included. It is a nonreversible, 24 Vdc power-supplied motor operator, complete with an incorporated encoder. Stop plates are fitted to the pressure cast aluminium body. The linear movements are by a brass shaft nut (threaded bush) and a screw shaft (rolled thread), all supported by a radial bearing and a lubricated bushing. In case of an electric power failure, Dardo 424 can be “released” by a custom-made, coded key and the gates moved by hand. Terminals are factory fitted to each operator and provide connections for the power supply and the encoder to the electronic controller Elpro 42 , to be installed stand alone, in a sheltered place.

NOTE: The Dardo operators are not handed units and therefore they come all alike both for the right and the left gates: following their respective connections to the Elpro 42 controller, they are identified as Dardo M1 (first gate to open and pedestriam mode) and Dardo M2 (gate delayed on opening) (Pic.3). Dardo does not come fitted with electronic limit switches as they are not necessary, limit stop positions are learned by the system in phase of programming as determined by the incorporated stop plates. Pic. 1 displays all of the components that are delivered for the installation of each Dardo operator.

• [B] make sure ground gate stops be fitted, mainly in open gate position (do not use the open incorporated stop plate)

INSTALLATION DISTANCES FOR OPENING OUTWARDS

FIXING BRACKETS PREPARATION AND FASTENING

IMPORTANT: before fastening the mount brackets, consider that they are 55 mm vertically offset: the front fixing is 55 mm lower than the rear fixing to the gate post (Pic. 7). First fixing is the front one to the gate by using a strengthing plate (according to C distance of Pic. 4 or Pic. 5, in the way as indicated in Pic. 6).

Get ready the rear fixing and fasten it to the gate post, in respect of the installation geometry (Pic. 4 or Pic. 5), and as indicated in Pic. 8.

FIXING TO GATE POST

Remove the rear cap protecting the electrical connections, located at the back of the operator. Make the opertor rear fork-like bracket to fit the gate post fixing plate on to the central hole (lateral holes are provided to adjust the rear fixing in case A and B distances might be wrong).

FIXING TO GATE

Open the gate by hand and bring it close to the operator. Swing this one on to the front bracket so that the fastening pin fits into the bush of the front fixing plate, then tighten the locking screw, avoid overtightening.

RELEASE FOR MANUAL OPERATIONS

In the release mode, the operator does not perform any operation on the gate, in spite of voltage continuing to be supplied. In this situation the gate can be opened and closed manually even if the operator is still mounted on to it.
The same coded key allows for the opening of the sliding protection cover and the manual overriding (Pic. 11).

IMPORTANT: to set the operator back to work, carry out the described steps in the reverse order.

ADJUSTMENT OF THE MECHANICAL STOP PLATES (installations without ground gate stops)
Override the operator (see Pic. 11) so that it is disengaged from the gate, then open the gate by hand to the required position: loosen the screw that fastens the stop assembly and position the plates so that the front fixing touches the assembly in the required open (stop) gate position, then tighten the screw again (Pic. 12): the outer stop plate and its counterpart ie. the inner plate must adhere firmly to the toothed bars. Carry out the same steps with the gate in closed position (Pic. 13).

IMPORTANT: eventually set back the operator to re-engage the gate (steps in Pic. 11 in reverse order).

FITTING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE

GATE OPENING INWARDS

IMPORTANT: the terminals of M1 (A1, B1, C1) and M2 (A2, B2, C2) motors in the controller correspond to:

• M1 = Dardo on 1st gate leaf to open and in pedestrian mode if selected.
• M2 = Dardo on the gate leaf delayed in opening.

IMPORTANT: on single gate installations where only one operator is mounted, it is sufficient to connect the motor to M1 and bridge B1 with B2, while A2 and C2 terminals are not connected.

ORDINARY MAINTENANCE

It is recommended that the operators and all the moving parts be inspected periodically (every 2-3 months or whenever necessary) and the inner rolled screw shaft lubricated with some grease from underneath the operator.
it is also advised that the gate hinges and pivots be periodically lubricated as well. Remove any possible obstacles and hindrances, the gates must be able to move freely in open and close directions.
