3.5 - Installation of the gear motor
WARNINGS
• Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to those
working on or using the system.
• Before starting automation assembly, make the preliminary checks
as described in paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2.
If the surface it is to rest on already exists, the gear motor must be mounted
directly onto that surface using appropriate means, e.g. expansion bolts. Oth-
erwise, in order to mount the gear motor:
01. Dig an adequately-sized foundation hole, using
as a reference the values indicated in fig. 3;
02. Prepare one or two tubes for the passage of the electricity cables as in fig.
4;
03. Assemble the two anchoring devices onto the foundation plate, placing
one nut under and one over the plate; the bolt must be tightened as in fig.
5 so that the threaded part emerges about 25-35 mm above the plate;
04. Pour in the concrete and before it starts to set, place the foundation plate
at the levels indicated in Figure 3; make sure that it is parallel to the leaf and
perfectly level, fig. 6. Wait for the concrete to set fully;
05. Remove the 2 nuts above the plate;
06. Before proceeding with installation, you should position the door halfway
along its travel and then anchor the gear motor to the foundation plate.
This ensures that the mechanical limit switches are adjusted automatically
(Paragraph 3.6) and then rest the gear motor on it.
07. Make sure that the gear motor is perfectly parallel with the the leaf and then
tighten the 2 nuts and washers as shown in fig. 7;
08. At this point, if there is already a rack, adjust the mechanical limit switches
as described in paragraph 3.6.
If the rack is to be installed, proceed as follows:
a) Release the gear motor as shown in the paragraph 3.7- fig. 11.
b) Position the leaf in a closing position, leaving it at least 50cm from the limit
switch stop. Rest the first part of the rack against the pinion and make sure
that the start of the rack corresponds to the start of the leaf as in fig. 8.
Make sure that there is some play of about 1-2 mm between the pinion and
the rack, and then fix the rack to the leaf using appropriate means.
In order to avoid the weight of the leaf bearing on the gear motor, it
is important that there is some play of about 1-2 mm between the
rack and the pinion as in fig. 9.
c) Slide the leaf and always use the pinion as a reference to fix the other
elements of the rack.
d) Cut the last part of the rack for the surplus part.
e) Try to open and close the leaf a number of times and check that the
rack moves in line on the pinion with a maximum misalignment of 5 mm
and that the play of 1-2 mm between the pinion and the rack is observed
throughout the length.
f) Briskly tighten the fixing nuts of the gear motor, making sure that it is
firmly fixed to the ground; cover the fixing nuts with the special tops as in
Figure 10.
3.6 - Adjusting the mechanical limit switches
01. Release the gear motor with the key provided (fig. 11 - paragraph 3.7);
02. Then manually perform a complete Opening and Closing manoeuvre to
permit automatic adjustment of the mechanical limit switches. Important
– During this manoeuvre, check that the rack runs in alignment with the
pinion, with a maximum misalignment of 5 mm, and that there is a play of
1-2 mm between pinion and rack along its entire length (fig. 9);
03. Lastly, manually position the leaf halfway along its travel and lock the gear
motor in place with the key provided (paragraph 3.7).
3.7 - Manually releasing and locking the gear motor
The gearmotor is equipped with a mechanical release which allows you to open
and close the gate by hand in case of power failure, malfunction or during
installation.
RELEASE:
01. Insert the release key and turn it clockwise (fig. 11);
02. You can now move the gate by hand.
LOCK:
01. Insert the key and turn it counterclockwise.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
WARNING! – All electrical connections must be made while discon-
nected from the grid and disconnected from the buffer battery (if any).
01. Insert all the connecting cables to the various devices, leaving them 20 to
30 cm longer than necessary. Refer to Table 5 for the cable type and Figure
2 for connections.
02. Use a clamp to hold together all the cables that enter the gear motor, and
place the clamp underneath the hole through which the cables enter.
03. Connect up the power cable to the terminal provided, as shown in Figure
12, then use a clamp to lock the cable onto the first cable ring.
04. Connect up the other cables according to the diagram in Figures 13 and
14 . For greater commodity, the terminal clamps are removable.
05. After making the connections, lock the cables you have collected together
in place using the rings provided (fig. 13), and anchor the excess part of
the aerial cable to the other cables.
To connect up 2 motors on opposite leaves, refer to paragraph "9.1.5 SLIGHT
in Slave mode".
4.1 - Description of the electrical connections
• FLASH = output for one or two "LUCYB" or similar type flashing lights with
single 12V maximum 21W bulb.
• S.C.A. = "Open Gate Light" output; a 24V (max. 4W) signal light can be con-
nected. It can also be programmed for other functions; see paragraph "8.4
Level two functions".
• BLUEBUS = compatible devices can be connected up to this terminal.They
are connected in parallel using two conductors only, through which both the
electricity supply and the communication signals travel. For more useful infor-
mation about BlueBUS see also paragraph "9.1.1 BlueBUS".
• STOP = input for the devices which block or that may stop a manoeuvre
in progress. Contacts like "Normally Closed", "Normally Open" or constant
resistance devices can be connected up using special procedures on the
input. For more useful information about STOP see also Paragraph "9.1.2
STOP input".
• STEP-BY-STEP = input for devices which control Step-by-Step movement.
It is possible to connect contacts of the "Normally Open" type to this input.
• OPEN = input for devices which control only the opening movement. It is
possible to connect contacts of the "Normally Open" type to this input.
• CLOSE = input for devices which control only the closing movement. It is
possible to connect contacts of the "Normally Open" type to this input.
• AERIAL = connection input for the radio receiver aerial (the aerial is incorpo-
rated in LUCY B).
