General Features - Beninca VE.500 Manual De Instrucciones Y Catálogo De Recambios

Thank you for choosing our VE.500 road gate. All items in the wide Benincà production range are the result
of twenty-years' experience in the automatism sector and of continuous research for new materials and ad-
vanced technologies. We are, therefore, in the position to offer highly reliable products that due to their power,
effectiveness and useful life, fully satisfy the final user's requirements. All our products are manufactured to
the existing standard and are covered by warranty. Possible injury to people or accidents caused by defects
in construction are covered by a civil liability policy drawn up with one of the major insurance companies.
The VE.500 road gates, stout in construction and simply but nicely designed, are suitable to be used inten-
sively and continuosly thanks to their 24Vdc motor. Speed adjustment, both during the cycle and the braking
phase, makes the operation optimization possible depending on the application and rod dimensions. Instal-
lation is easy as well as the transformation from right to left and viceversa. With its simple manual release it
is also ready to accept buffer batteries which permit the gate running also in case there is no electricity. To
the anodised aluminium rod it is possible to apply all accessories, warning and safety devices; safety is also
granted by the amperometric sensor which interrupts the movement as soon as there's a min. contact with
a possible obstacle.
A road gate is called right when looking at it from the door side, it engages the way on the right side; viceversa
it is called left.
Fig. 1 represents a right gate; to transform it into left proceed as follows:
• make sure the spring M is released (positioned as per fig.).
• remove the spring and fix it in position 1 through the screw V and the nuts D
• untighten the grain G and move the lever L and the grain G to position 2.
For a good road gate operation it is important that the rod is well balanced through the spring action, and to
check it, proceed as follows:
• release mechanically the road gate through the release lever.
• start closing the rod and leave it; the rod will have to be positioned at about 45°.
Repeat the operation by moving the rod towards the opening position.
If the balancing is not within the limits above mentioned act on the spring load through the nut D.
During the closing manoeuvre:
The bar starts from point "A" and arrives at the point "C" of intervention of the slowing limit stop with a speed
that may be set by the control unit.
The braking cycle starts from the intervention of the slowing limit stop and concludes exclusively with the
intervention of the closing limit stop in point "D", since the control unit checks when the limit stop "D" is
reached and is able to compensate automatically any variations due, for example, to different climatic condi-
tions. The braking angle is fixed and corresponds to about 25°.
During the opening manoeuvre:
The bar starts from point "D" and arrives at the point "B" of intervention of the opening limit stop with a speed
that may be set by the central control unit.
The bar covers the braking space when opening in a time defined by the control unit.
The bar then arrives at point A, completing the opening movement.
The regulations of the limit stop cams, of the trimmers and of the dip-switches must be carried out referring
to these operating principles.
The regulation of the limit stop cams allows:
Cam A
Anticipate or delay the start of the slowing phase in opening (Fig.3- point "B").
Cam C
Regulate with precision the stopping point in closing (Fig.3 - point "D").
