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 ammable 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

Dardo 430 is a electromechanical operator for external mount on swinging gates in residential and block of ats 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 non reversible, 230 Vac 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 430 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 43 , 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 43 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.

INSTALLATION DISTANCES FOR OPENING INWARDS

[A] in case D distance is required to be bigger, contact our technical department to get A and C changed accordingly
[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 D1, E1, F1) and M2 (A2, B2, C2 and D2, E2, F2) 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 E1 with E2, while A2, C2, B2, D2 and F2 terminals are not connected.

GATE OPENING OUTWARDS

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.
