ELECTRIC CONNECTIONS
Recommendations:
- The gear motor is supplied with an electric power input cable measuring 2 m.
Therefore, if a greater distance must be covered to perform the electric con-
nections, a diversion box must be used (not supplied). IMPORTANT! – It is
prohibited to join the electric cable inside the foundation case.
- Make the electric connections with the mains power input disconnected.
To connect the power input cable to the control unit, see the manual regarding
the latter and the following indications:
Blu wire
= 24 V motor power input
Brown wire

INSPECTION AND COMMISSIONING
Testing of the entire system must be conducted by experienced and qualified
personnel, who must establish what tests are necessary depending on the risks
involved. To test BIG METRO proceed as follows:
• close the gate;
• disconnect the power supply to the control unit;
• release the gearmotor from the gate leaf as shown in paragraph "Manual
release device (Key and Lever-Operated Release)" in Chapter "Instructions
and Warnings for Users of the BIG METRO Gearmotor";
• open the gate manually all the way;
• make sure the gate opens and closes smoothly without any points of friction;
• make sure that the gate, when stopped in any position and released, does
not display a tendency to start moving again;
• make sure that the safety systems and mechanical stops are in good working
order;
• make sure that the screw connections are properly tightened;
• clean the inside of the box and make sure that the drain operates properly;
• when all the checks have been completed, re-connect the gearmotor and
power the control unit;
• BIG METRO is not equipped with any torque adjustment device, therefore this
operation is performed by the control unit;
• measure the impact force as provided by the EN12453 and EN12445 stan-
dards.
