BEFORE INSTALLATION
Before commencing operator installation assess the suitability of the access, its general condition and the structure.
-
Make sure that there is no risk of impact, crushing, shearing, conveying, cutting, entangling and lifting situations, which may prejudice people safety.
-
Do not install near any source of heat and avoid contacts with flammable substances.
-
Keep all the accessories able to turn on the operator (transmitters, proximity readers, key-switches, etc) out of the reach of the children.
-
Transit through the access only with stationary operator.
-
Do not allow children and/or people to stand in the proximity of a working operator.
-
To ensure safety in the whole movement area of a gate it is advisable to install photocells, sensitive edges, magnetic loops and detectors.
Use yellow-black strips or proper signals to identify dangerous spots. -
Before cleaning and maintenance operations, disconnect the appliance from the mains by switching off the master switch.
-
If removing the actuator, do not cut the electric wires, but disconnect them from the terminal box by loosening the screws inside the junction box.
INSTALLATION
All installation operations must be performed by a qualified technician, in
observance of the Machinery Directive 2006/42/CE and safety regulations EN
12453 – EN 12445.
- Verify the presence of a thermal-magnetic circuit breaker 0,03 A – 230 V – 50 Hz upstream the installation.
- Use appropriate objects to test the correct functionality of the safety accessories, such as photocells, sensitive edges, etc.
- Carry out a risk analysis by means of appropriate instruments measuring the crushing and impact force of the main opening and closing edge in compliance with EN 12445.
- Identify the appropriate solution necessary to eliminate and reduce such risks.
In case where the gate to automate is equipped with a pedestrian entrance, it is appropriate to prepare the system in such a way to prohibit the operation of the engine when the pedestrian entrance is used. □ Apply safety nameplates with CE marking on the gate warning about the presence of an automated installation. □ The installer must inform and instruct the end user about the proper use of the system by releasing him a technical dossier, including: layout and components of the installation, risk analysis, verification of safety accessories, verification of impact forces and reporting of residual risks.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT
Aproli 280/700 Robusto is an oil-hydraulic operator for external application,
fitted with an articulated arm made of steel, studied to open and close
swinging gates mounted on pillars of large dimensions.
Aproli 280/700 Robusto is a handed unit depending on which gate side it is to
be mounted either on the right or the left (view from inside the property);
the motor shaft is factory pre-set in the correct position to take the arm for
either right or left applications. it is an oil-hydraulic product and has all
the advantages that such systems can offer, such as reliability, smooth
movements, adjustable thrust power being controlled by low and high-pressure
valves, and flexibility as it can suit most types of swinging gates.
Quick and easy to install. The pressure-cast aluminium back bracket is
fastened to the gate pillar by means of expanding bolts and provides support
to the drive assembly, made of galvanized steel and aluminium and fixed by
screws.
The pivoting shaft is made of hardened steel to ensure long-lasting
reliability over time.
The driving arm (right- or left-handed version) is made of cataphoresis-
treated steel and has the advantage that its last section can be adjusted into
three different lengths to meet any installation requirements, even with
pillars of large dimensions.
This operator is fitted with a bidirectional locking device to hydraulically
lock the gate in open and closed positions.
For Aproli 280/700 Robusto to work as an automatic system it is required that
an electronic control box type Elpro be fitted externally in a sheltered
place. Operations can be selected to be either fully automatic or
semiautomatic (closing by pulse), depending on the user’s requirements.
The system is designed to work together with accessories that ensure proper
operations in full safety and reliability, making it suitable for any public
or private applications.
A polycarbonate cover protects the inner drive unit, and a flap allows only
authorized access to the control valves by means of a coded key for the
following operations: high and low pressure adjustment, manual release and
removal of the cover.
COMPONENTS
- Back bracket for gate post fixing
- Motor pump-jack assembly Aproli 280/700 Robusto right- or left-hand
- Cover with lockable flap for manual release by coded key
- Right-hand complete arm assembly
- Left-hand complete arm assembly

ELECTRICAL WIRING DIAGRAM AND LAYOUT OF THE ACCESSORIES
Before installing Aproli 280/700 Robusto it is advisable that preparatory
works be carried out for all of the accessories required at least to ensure
safety and proper control of the system.
General layout: it is the installer’s care and responsibility to properly lay
the tubes required for the electrical connections.
- 230 V – 50 Hz – 0,03 A magneto-thermal circuit breaker (cable section recommended to be 2,5 mm² beyond 100 m)
- Control box with plug-in radio receiver
- Aproli 280/700 Robusto, left-hand
- Flasher
- Photocell receiver
- Junction pit
- Photocell transmitter on post mount
- Ground gate stop in open position [A]
- Photocell receiver on post mount
- Gate electric lock recommended beyond 2 m width per gate leaf
- Gate stop in closed position [A]
- Photocell transmitter on post mount
- Keyswitch
- Radio transmitter
A]: IMPORTANT: ground gate stops in open and closed gate positions are most important for proper operations and therefore for the safety of the system equipped with Aproli 280/700 Robusto.
RIGHT- AND LEFT-HANDED APROLI 280/700 ROBUSTO
Aproli 280/700 Robusto is distinguished into right- and left-handed depending
on which gate side it is installed to (gate closed, view from inside): the
distinction is very important as Aproli 280/700 Robusto comes, by factory
default, with the rotation shaft already preset to be installed either on to
the right or left side of the gate.
Pic. 3
Aproli 280/700 Robusto, by factory default, is a handed unit and the rotation shaft is set for either right or left installation, viewing the gate from inside, in closed position.
PRELIMINARY STEP – CHECKING THE FIXING POINTS
It is fundamental that the arm be fixed onto the gate in a structural point.
The fixing of the operator back bracket depends on this point and consequently
also the position/outlet of the tube for the electrical connections and
voltage supply (Pic. 4).
The gate post fixing bracket has two openings at the back side towards the
gate post and two in the bottom: in this way it can meet any application
requirements (Pic. 4).
INSTALLATION DISTANCES
Aproli 280/700 Robusto comes with an arm whose gate fixing end can be adjusted into three lengths (460, 520 and 580 mm):
Pic. 5
[B]: The distances indicated in the table have been calculated on a gate having a thickness of 50 mm and a gate hinge positioned at 50 mm from gate post. The above considerations can be applied even to gates having a different size, leaving to the experience and technical skill of the installer the task of assessing the most suitable fixing geometry.
FIXING THE BRACKET TO THE GATE POST
The support bracket is to be fixed by expanding bolts suitably to the post nature and using four of the eight holes in it.
FIXING APROLI 280/700 ROBUSTO TO THE SUPPORT BRACKET
Mount Aproli 280/700 Robusto onto the support bracket; the right and left
versions are marked Dx and Sx on the aluminium casting,
as indicated in Pic. 7.
POWER SUPPLY AND FIRST RUNNING TEST
Remove the cover to have access to the terminal board for power supply
connections.
Cut the marked area to get an inlet for the power supply cable fitted with a
cable gland (Pic. 8).
FIXING THE ARM
In order to mount the arm, it is required that the motor be supplied with
voltage so it can rotate the square shaft towards the opening direction of the
gate
ADJUSTING THRUST FORCE
In order to adjust thrust power in opening and closing, turn the respective
adjusting screws on the motor pump casting (Pic. 10).
FITTING THE FRONT COVER BACK
Once setting is completed, first put the operator cover back and secure it by
the screws, then close the flap by the key (Pic. 11).
