SAFETY CRITERIA
1
Attention: before beginning the installation it is absolutely necessary to read all this
manual.
2
Verify that the technical features of the actuator fit your installation needs.
3
Moreover verify that:
• The gate hinges are in good conditions and perfectly lubricated.
• The gate has mechanical stops in opening and closing
INSTALLATION ADVICE
Connections:
•
See the "Functional Scheme" and refer to the control board scheme.
•
The electric cable which exits from the actuator must not be tight, but it has to do an
ample curve towards the bottom in order to avoid water reflux inside the actuator. (Fig. O)
•
All connections must be done when the device has no power supply.
•
You may need a omni polar breaking device (the cables must measure at least 3 mm)
Always protect the power supply using a 6A automatic switch, or a 16A single-phase
switch with fuses.
•
The power supply lines to the motors, to the control unit and to the accessories must
be separated to avoid interferences which could generate problems to the system.
•
Any equipment (either of control or safety) in case connected to the control unit must
be tension free.
Spare parts:
•
Use original spare parts exclusively.
•
Get rid of batteries putting them with industrial rubbish and not with domestic rubbish .
(Law n. 475/88).

In case of anomalies, see the chapter "Anomalies and Suggestions" in "General
instructions"
If you do not find any solution call the nearest Assistance Centre.
BLOCKED ACTUATOR
The actuators are blo cked. The electric lock must be installed on the wing that opens first
and must be connected with the terminals of the control unit.
Position of the electric lock: (Fig. C).
Position 1: Lock between the wings
(in this case it is necessary to use the bolt RT15 on the second wing).
Position 2: Lock on the floor (in this case the use of the bolt is not essential).
Remember to remove the lock of the gate (or at least leave the lock in open position) and
take away all the bolts.
RIGHT OR LEFT ACTUATORS (Fig. D)
The actuators are supplied in Right or Left version.
Look the gate from the side where the actuators are installed, if the hinges are on the
right the actuator is right, if they are on the left the actuator is left.
HOW TO DETERMINE FIXING MEASURES
Gate fixed in the middle of the pillar
In this case the maximum opening angle of the gate is 90°.
-
The best thing to do is to put the fixing brackets at the measures indicated in the table
above picture A and B .
If this is difficult to realise, do as follows:
-
Measure the distance D (distance between the hinges' axis and the pillar's edge)
-
Look in table 1 and find the line of the distance D, then follow it until you cross the line
of the model of your operator .
-
In the same table you can see if it is better to use bracket S1 (Fig. E) or alternatively
bracket S2 (Fig. F).
These quotes are calculated in order to obtain an average tangential speed that does not
exceed 12 m/minute
.
Gate fixed on the edge pillar
In this case the gate can open with an angle superior to 90° (max. 120°)
-
The best thing to do is to put the fixing brackets at the measures indicated in the
table above picture A and B.
-
To make the wing open with a bigger angle, measure A must be superior to
measure B.
The best solution can be obtained increasing measure A of the same dimension of
which measure B must be diminished.
ENGLISH
Calculate the height of the installation of the actuator according to the gate's shape and to
the possibilities of fastening (Fig. G)
a)
b)
Position 1 Central beam of the gate
Position 2 Stiffen of the gate
Bolt or weld the bracket S1 or S2 on the gate's side pillar, keeping in mind that the measures
A and B refer to the gate hinges axis and to the actuator's rotation axis.
In case of fastening by expansion bolts, use Ø 13 mm metal bolts and place the bolt at no
less than 30÷35 mm from the pillar's corner, to avoid breaking of corner. (Fig. H)
In case of masonry pillars, use chemical or resin bolts or stone the bracket.
-
-
In some cases, as indicated in table 1, and for particular installations it is better to use
bracket S2.
Each bracket is made up of 1 a squared plate, dimensions 130x130x6 mm, with 4 holes of
Ø12 mm and 1 bracket 112x94x55 mm with 3 holes of Ø 12 mm.
How to fix brackets S2:
-
-
Remember that the measures A and B refer to the gate hinges axis and the operator's
rotation axis.
LEADER TA operators (version with alum. tube).
Determine the position of bracket S4 as follows:
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
LEADER TI operators (version with inox tube).
Determine the position of bracket S3 as follows:
-
-
-
-
-
-
At this point you need to position the mechanical stops: first the wing's stop in closing and
then in opening phase.
LEADER TA operators (version with alum. tube).
LEADER TI operators (version with inox tube).
In case of external opening gate is possible to place the actuator on the internal side.
In this case the measure A (distance between the axe of the hinges and the rotation axe of
the actuator) has to be measured towards the centre of the gate, and it is necessary to
modify the bracket S2 to adapt it to the new fixing position. (Fig. N)
In order not to reduce the length of the passage, the actuator can be positioned in the
superior part of the gate, at a height not inferior to 2 m.
You can find the position of the front bracket with the method indicated above, but with the
wing of the gate open.
(Fig. A)
Due to the motor's power, all fastenings must be very strong
-
-
-
-
It is not necessary that the gate is in a specific position because the next start impulse will
restore all the previous values.
(Fig. B)
HEIGHT OF INSTALLATION
If the gate has a big structure you can put the actuator at any highness with no limits.
If the structure is light it is necessary to keep the actuator the nearest possible to the
middle of the gate (in height).
FIXING OF BRACKETS S1/S2
Be careful in using bracket S1 (Fig. E) which is in two versions: bracket S1 right end
bracket S1 left, they should be used with their actuator; left or right.
Fasten the actuator to bracket S1 as indicated in "Fig. I", please pay attention that the
threaded hole of the rotating pivot PR1 must be turned down.
BRACKETS S2 (Fig. F)
Screw the plate to the pillar using strong bolts.
Weld the bracket to the plate as indicated in Fig. F
FIXING OF FRONT BRACKET
Close the gate's wing.
Release the actuator.
Move forward the front pivot of the actuator until it reaches the position of limit switch in
opening .
Leave 20mm of space between the pivot and the actuator end (Fig. L)
Fasten bracket S4 to the front pivot of the actuator as indicated in "Fig. M" keeping in
mind that the threaded hole of the rotating pivot must be turned down and that the
dragging pivot milling must be placed longitudinally to the hole (Fig. P)
Put the actuator on the gate's wing keeping it levelled and mark the position of bracket
S4 on the gate.
Weld or bolt bracket S4 to the gate.
Control that the drag pin has been positioned with the two sides of the milling in parallel
position to the button hole of the alum. tube as indicated in the "Fig. Q".
Close the gate's wing.
Release the gearmotor.
Completely rotate the ram up to maximum opening.
Retract the stainless tube approximately for 2cm.
Place the S3 bracket into the ram with the PR1 pin and fixing (pict. L)
(NB: lower part)
Lean the S3 bracket on the leaf keeping the ram perfectly horizontal (you may
better use a spirit-level) and fix the bracket with a screw or weld it.
NB: Check the manual opening of the leaf before definitively fixing the brackets and
make sure that the leaf opens completely.
MECHANICAL STOPS (Fig. D)
When the gate is closed the distance between the pivot of dragging and the front part
of the actuator should be at the most of 450 mm for Leader 4 TA.
When the gate is open this measure should be at least of 50 mm (Fig. L)
When the gate is closed the piston's rod may come out of 335 mm for Leader 3 TI, of
435 mm for Leader 4 TI and of 535 mm for Leader 5 TI at the most.
When the gate is open, the rod must be out of at least 65mm. (Fig. R)
EXTERNAL OPENING GATE
HOW TO RELEASE THE OPERATOR
Insert the key (supplied in the kit) and rotate it clockwise of 90°. (Fig. S)
Pull the release lever towards the outside until the actuator is released, then rotate
again the key of 90° to lock the lever.
At this point the gate may be opened or closed manually.
Do the inverse operation to clasp the actuator (turn in opposite direction the provided key)
