1) Product description
SPIDO is an electromechanical actuator for automating the
movement of sectional doors and overhead spring or counterweight
up-and-over doors. Thanks to its unique profile, installation is quick
and easy. The electrical control unit exploits the current sensitivity
system to measure the force developed by the motor and offers 5
levels of sensitivity. Manual opening and closing is simple and safe as
it releases the door from the drive trolley.
2) Installation
2.1) Preliminary checks
Before proceeding with the installation of any powered system, check
that the structure is suitable, that is, make sure it complies with
current standards and that:
the door does not stick when opening or closing;
the door does not require a force of over 150N (15kg) to be moved;
the door is well balanced, that is, if it stops in any position it remains
motionless;
the door moves silently, smoothly and doesn't skid;
