• The installation must comply with the provisions set out by the following
European Directives: 89/336/CEE, 73/23/EEC, 98/37/EEC and
subsequent amendments.
• Disconnect the electrical power supply before carrying out any work on
the installation. Also disconnect any buffer batteries, if fitted.
• Fit an omnipolar or magnetothermal switch on the mains power supply,
having a contact opening distance equal to or greater than 3,5 mm.
• Check that a differential switch with a 0.03A threshold is fitted just before
the power supply mains.
• Check that earthing is carried out correctly: connect all metal parts for
closure (doors, gates etc.) and all system components provided with an
earth terminal.
• Fit all the safety devices (photocells, electric edges etc.) which are
needed to protect the area from any danger caused by squashing,
conveying and shearing.
• Position at least one luminous signal indication device (blinker) where
it can be easily seen, and fix a Warning sign to the structure.
• The Company declines all responsibility with respect to the automation
safety and correct operation when other manufacturers' components
are used.
• Only use original parts for any maintenance or repair operation.
• Do not modify the automation components, unless explicitly authorised
by the company.
• Instruct the product user about the control systems provided and the
manual opening operation in case of emergency.
• Do not allow persons or children to remain in the automation operation
area.
• Keep radio control or other control devices out of children's reach, in
order to avoid unintentional automation activation.
• The user must avoid any attempt to carry out work or repair on the
automation system, and always request the assistance of qualified
personnel.
• Anything which is not expressly provided for in the present instructions,
is not allow
2) GENERAL OUTLINE
Electromechanical piston designed to automatically operate residential
gates. The irreversible gearmotor keeps the gate locked both in the closing
and opening positions, making the use of the electric lock redundant.
The actuator is supplied with an electronic torque limiter. The unit is
controlled by means of an electronic control board with torque adjustment.
End-of-stroke operation is controlled by two magnetic limiting devices.

PHOBOS BT Ver. 03
INSTALLATION MANUAL
The actuator features an obstacle detection system in compliance with
EN12453 and EN 12445 Standards.
Installation must be carried out using the safety devices and controls
prescribed by the EN 12978 Standard.
The following optional accessories are available on request:
- Buffer battery kit mod. PHOBOS-BT BAT
Allows operation of the automation even when there is no mains power
supply for a short period of time.

4) INSTALLATION OF THE ACTUATOR

4.1) Preliminary checks

Check that:
• The gate structure is sufficiently sturdy.
• Also make sure that the actuator pushes against the leaf reinforced
section.
• The leaves move manually and without effort all along their stroke.
• The door stop plates are fitted at the end of both closing and opening
strokes.
• If the gate has not been recently installed, check the wear condition of
all components.
• Repair or replace faulty or worn parts.
The automation reliability and safety are directly influenced by the state
of the gate structure.
The diagram in fig. 2 should be used as a reference for installation and
consult the table for the distances in mounting the gate post.
The diagram in fig. 2 uses the following legend:
P Gate post rear fastening bracket
F Front leaf fastening fork
a-b "P" bracket installation value
C Distance between fixing points (C = 993 mm)
D Gate length
X Distance from gate axis to the edge of the post
Z Always over 45 mm (b - X)
kg max. weight of leaf
α°
leaf opening in degrees
4.2) How to read the installation distance tables
Select "a" and "b" according to the angle in degrees α° that the gate has to
open. The table shows the ideal value for "a" and "b" for an opening of α°
= 90° at constant speed.
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.
To respect the opening speed and ensure the controller operates correctly,
it is best to keep the difference between "a" and "b" as low as possible.
When "a" and "b" are at their maximum, the piston develops the maximum
force.
