HEIGHT OF INSTALLATION
Calculate the height of the installation of the actuator according to the gate's shape and
to the possibilities of fastening. (Fig. G)
a)
If the gate has a big structure you can put the actuator at any highness with no limits.
b)
If the structure is light it is necessary to keep the actuator the nearest possible to the
middle of the gate (in height).
Position 1 Central beam of the gate
Position 2 Stiffen of the gate
FIXING OF BRACKETS S1/S2
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.
-
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)
In case of particular installations it is advisable to use brackets 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:
-
Screw the plate to the pillar using strong bolts.
-
Weld the bracket to the plate as indicated in Fig. F
Remember that the measures A and B refer to the gate hinges axis and the operator's
rotation axis.
FIXING OF FRONT BRACKET
Ace TA operators (version with alum. tube).
Determine the position of bracket S4 as follows:
-
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".
Ace TI operators (version with inox tube).
Determine the position of bracket S3 as follows:
-
Close the gate's wing.
-
Rotate anticlockwise the actuator's end, that is to say its final part (piece n.35 in the
list of parts) until the end-of-stroke position of the rod (until the rod is completely
out), then rotate the end of the actuator clockwise until the fixing screw of the end is
down-sided. In any cases, the final part of the actuator must be rotated at least of
half a turn.
-
Fasten bracket S3 to the end of the actuator as indicated in "Fig: M" keeping in mind
that the threaded hole of the rotation pivot PR1 must be turned down.
-
Position the actuator on the gate's wing keeping it levelled and mark the position of
bracket S3 on the gate.
-
Weld or bolt bracket S3 to the gate.
At this point you need to position the mechanical stops: first the wing's stop in closing
and then in opening phase.
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.
Due to the motor's power, all fastenings must be very strong
-
Insert the key (supplied in the kit) and rotate it clockwise of 90°. (Fig. S)
-
Pull the left motor's release handle towards the interior, pull the right motor's release
handle towards the gate.
