3) Installation
!
The installation of RUN must be carried out by qualified personnel in compliance with current legislation, standards and
regulations, and the directions provided in this manual.
3.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with the installation of RUN:
• Check that all the materials are in excellent condition, suitable for
use and compliant with current standards.
• Ensure that the structure of the gate is suitable for automation.
• Ensure that the weight and dimensions of the leaf fall within the
specified operating limits provided in chapter "2.1 Operating limits".
• Check that the force required to start the movement of the leaf is
less than half the "maximum torque", and that the force required
to keep the leaf in movement is less than half the "nominal torque".
Compare the resulting values with those specified in Chapter "8
Technical Characteristics". The manufacturers recommend a 50%
margin on the force, as unfavourable climatic conditions may
cause an increase in the friction.
• Ensure that there are no points of greater friction in the opening or
closing travel of the gate leaves.
• Ensure there is no danger of the gate derailing.
• Ensure that the mechanical stops are sufficiently sturdy and that
there is no risk of deformation even when the leaf hits the mech-
anical stop violently.
• Ensure that the gate is well balanced: it must not move by itself
when it is placed in any position.
• Ensure that the area where the gearmotor is fixed is not subject
to flooding. If necessary, mount the gearmotor raised from the
ground.
• Ensure that the installation area enables the release of the
gearmotor and that it is safe and easy to release it.
3.2) Installation of the gearmotor
The gearmotor must be secured directly to an already existing
mounting surface using suitable means, for example expansion
bolts. Otherwise, in order to fasten the gearmotor the installer must:
1. Dig a foundation hole with suitable dimensions referring to Figure 3.
2. Prepare one or more conduits for the electrical cables as shown
in figure 4.
3. Assemble the 4 clamps on the foundation plate setting one nut
underneath and one on top of the plate. The nut underneath the
plate must be tightened as shown in Figure 5 so that the threaded
part protrudes above the plate by max. 40 mm.

• Ensure that the mounting positions of the various devices are pro-
tected from impact and that the mounting surfaces are sufficiently
sturdy.
• Components must never be immersed in water or other liquids.
• Keep RUN away from heat sources and open flames; in acid,
saline or potentially explosive atmosphere; this could damage RUN
and cause malfunctions or hazardous situations.
• If there is an access door in the leaf, or within the range of move-
ment of the gate, make sure that it does not obstruct normal travel.
Mount a suitable interlock system if necessary.
• Only connect the control unit to a power supply line equipped with
a safety grounding system.
• The power supply line must be protected by suitable magneto-
thermal and differential switches.
• A disconnection device must be inserted in the power supply
line from the electrical mains (the distance between the contacts
must be at least 3.5 mm with an overvoltage category of III) or
equivalent system, for example an outlet and relative plug. If the
disconnection device for the power supply is not mounted near the
automation, it must have a locking system to prevent unintentional,
unauthorised connection.
4. Pour the concrete and, before it starts to harden, set the founda-
tion plate to the values shown in Figure 3. Check that it is parallel
to the leaf and perfectly level (Figure 6). Wait for the concrete to
harden completely.
5. Remove the 4 upper nuts on the plate and then position the
gearmotor. Check that it is perfectly parallel to the leaf, then refit
and tighten the four nuts and washers supplied, as shown in
Figure 7.
