6.3) How to read the installation dimensions (Fig. 3-4)
From the tables (Fig. 3-4), select "a" and "b" according to the angle in degrees
α° that the gate has to open. If there is too large a difference between "a"
and "b", the leaf will not travel smoothly and the pushing or pulling force will
fluctuate during its stroke. The table refers to an 80-mm thick gate.
6.4) Back anchoring (Fig. 9)
WARNING!
You are advised to fit the bracket (X) to the part (Y) through the centre hole (as
shown in Fig. 9). This way you can correct any possible errors in the operator
stroke using the other holes.
Fig. 10 shows the oscillation to which the LUX BT-LUX G BT models with
front and rear joint are subject with respect to the horizontal axis.
6.5) Off-standard installations
Fig. 6 - need for a recess to house the controller when the leaf is completely
opened; fig.6 shows the minimum recess measurements for the various
LUX BT-LUX G BT models.
Fig. 7 - if the "b" value is higher than the values listed in the installation
tables recess be made in the gate-post (fig. 8).
6.6) Mounting the brackets to the gate-post and to the gate-leaf.
Fix the bracket "P" (fig. 11) to the gate-post with a good welding.
The fork "F" should be welded in the same way to the gate leaf along the
distance "C" as shown in fig. 5, taking care that the operator is installed
within the limits shown in Fig. 10.
• If the gate-post is in brick, the plate "PF" must be welded to a metal
base (mod. PLE) and set soundly into the post using adequately sized
cramps "Z" welded to the back of the plate (fig. 12).
• If the gate-post is in stone, the plate "PF" welded to a metal base (mod.
PLE) can be fixed with four metal expansion plugs "T" (fig. 13). If a larger
gate is being installed it would be better to weld the plate "PF" to an
angular base (fig. 14).
WARNING: Avoid installing the operator too close to the
ground.
7) GROUND GATE STOPS
For the controller to operate correctly the gate stops "F" must be used both
in opening and closing, as shown in fig. 15.
The gate stops should prevent the rod of the actuator from reaching its end
of stroke . Fig. 16 gives the values which ensure a perfect installation when
the actuator is performing the pushing or pulling function. They must be
placed so that about a 5-10 mm margin of travel is maintained in the rod.
This margin prevents any malfunctions.
8) ENCODER BAR FITTING (Fig.19).
9) THE ELECTRICAL PLANT SET-UP
Set the electrical plant (fig. 18) according to the current standards for electrical
plants. Keep the power supply connections definitely separated from the
auxiliary connections (photocells, rubber skirts, control devices, etc.).
WARNING! For connection to the mains, use a multipolar cable with a
minimum of 4x1.5mm
cross section and complying with the previou-
2
sly mentioned regulations. For example, if the cable is out side (in the
open), it has to be at least equal to H07RN-F.
Perform the connections of the control and safety devices in compliance
with the above mentioned standards.
Fig. 18 indicates the number of connections and the sections for 100 m.
long power supply cables. For distances of over 100 m., calculate the cable
section depending on the automation actual load. If the length of the auxi-
liary connections exceeds 50 metres or if they pass through critical areas
subject to disturbances, we advise to disconnect the control and safety
devices with suitable relays.
INSTALLATION MANUAL
9.1) Automation main components (fig. 18)
I)
Type approved omnipolar switch with 3 mm min. contact opening.
Provided with overload and short-circuit protection, used to break
the automation connection from the mains. If not present, provide
the automation with a type approved differential switch with adequate
capacity and a 0.03 A threshold.
Qr) Control unit with built-in receiver
S)
Key selector
AL) Blinker tuned in with antenna and RG58 cable
M) Actuator
Fte) Pair of outside photocells (transmitters)
Fre) Pair of outside photocells (receivers)
Fti) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (transmitters)
Fri) Pair of inside photocells with CF column (receivers)
T)
1-2-4 channel transmitter
10) ADJUSTING THE PUSHING FORCE
WARNING: Check that the impact force value measured at the
points established by the EN 12445 standard is lower than that
specified in the EN 12453 standard.
The pushing force is regulated with extreme precision by means of the
control unit electronic setting. The end-of-stroke operation is electronically
set in the control panel.
To ensure an adequate antisquash safety, the pushing force must be adjusted
to just over the push needed to move the leaf, both in closing and opening.
In any event, the pushing force at the end of the leaf, must not exceed the
limits prescribed by the regulations indicated above.
11) MANUAL OPENING
In order to release the gate in case of emergency, for example power failure,
proceed as shown in Fig.A (User's manual), that is to say:
11.1) Versions with hydraulic lock
- inset the key (X) in the pin and turn it anticlockwise (Fig. A Ref.1).
- now open the gate manually (Fig. A Ref.2) (exerting a pushing speed
equal to the automatic opening speed).
11.2) Versions without hydraulic lock
- open the electric lock with the respective key (X) and proceed as de-
scribed in the two points above.
12) OPENING / CLOSING LOCK HOLD
To configure the hold locks, see Fig. 23.
13) COVER POSITIONS
The "C" covering for all LUX BT models can become right or left-handed
by inverting the position of the "T" cap (Fig.21).
The position of the manual release covering must be fixed as in Fig.22.
14) CHECKING THE AUTOMATION
Before considering the automation completely operational, the following
checks must be made with great care:
• Check that all the components are firmly anchored.
• Control that all the safety means work properly (i.e. photocells, pneumatic
skirt, etc.).
• Check the emergency manoeuvre control.
• Check the opening and closing manoeuvres using the controls.
• Check the control unit's electronic logic in normal (or customised) opera-
tion.
15) USE OF THE AUTOMATION
Since the automation may be remote controlled either by radio or a Start
button, it is essential that all safeties are checked frequently.
Any malfunction should be corrected immediately by a qualified specialist.
Keep children at a safe distance from the field of action of the automa-
tion.
16) THE CONTROLS
The controls can come in various forms (i.e. manual, remote controlled,
limited access by magnetic badge, etc.) depending on needs and installation
characteristics. For details on the various command systems, consult the
specific instruction booklets.
Anyone using the automation must be instructed in its operation and
controls.
17) TROUBLE SHOOTING
17.1) Faulty operation of the gearmotor
• Use a suitable instrument to check if there is a voltage across the gear-
motor terminals when an open or close command has been given
