Approved safety equipment2.9
Safety relevant functions or components of the control, such
as the power limit, external photocells, when installed, have
been designed and approved in accordance with category 2,
PL "c" of EN ISO 13849-1:2008.

3.1 Preparation for fitting
WARNING
Danger of injury due to damaged components
A fault in the gate system or an incorrectly aligned gate may
lead to serious injuries!
Do not use the gate system if repair or adjustment

work must be conducted!
In addition, check the entire gate system (gate pivots,

bearings, springs and fastenings) for wear and possible
damage.
Check for the presence of rust, corrosion, and cracks.

For your own safety, only have a specialist conduct

maintenance and repair work!
Before installing the operator and in the interests of personal
safety, make sure that any necessary repairs to the gate
system are carried out by a qualified specialist.
Only correct fitting and maintenance in compliance with the
instructions by a specialist company or qualified person
ensures safe and flawless operation of the system.
The specialist carrying out the work must ensure that
installation is conducted in compliance with the prevailing
national job safety rules and regulations and those governing
the operation of electrical equipment. The relevant national
directives must be observed. Potential hazards are avoided
by construction and fitting according to our guidelines.
Prior to fitting, deactivate or completely disassemble any

mechanical locks not needed for power operation of the
gate. This includes in particular any locking mechanisms
connected with the gate lock.
In addition, check that the gate is in a flawless

mechanical condition, so that it can be easily operated
manually and opens and closes properly (EN 12604).
Change to the illustrated section for the fitting and

initial operation. Observe the respective text section
when you are prompted to by the symbol for the text
reference.
3.2 Fitting the gate operator
WARNING
Unsuitable fixing material
Use of unsuitable fixing material may mean that the
operator is insecurely attached and could come loose.
The fitter must check that the fitting materials supplied

are suitable for the purpose and the intended fitting
location.
Only use the provided fixing materials (plugs) in

concrete ≥ B15 (see Figures 2.1/3.1).
NOTE:
Contrary to the illustrated section, use the appropriate
connectors with different hole depths for other gate types (e.g.
for timber gates use woodscrews).
Contrary to the illustrated section, the required core hole
diameter may vary depending on material thickness or
strength. The required diameter may be Ø 5.0 – 5.5 mm for
aluminium and Ø 5.7 – 5.8 mm for steel.
Establishing the fitting dimensions3.2.1
Determine dimension e, see Figure1. 1.
Determine dimension B in the table in Figure2. 1:
In column a. e, select the row that is closest to
dimension e.
Select the required minimum opening angle in this b.
row.
Find dimension B at the top.c.
Fitting principles for complying with the 3.2.2
operating forces
In accordance with DIN EN 12453/12445, the operating forces
are complied with if you observe the following points:
In the table in Figure• 1, select a combination of
dimensions A and B from the section shaded in grey
(preferred section).
The centre of gravity for the gate must be in the centre of •
the gate (maximum permissible deviation ± 20%).
A sound-absorbing seal DP 2 * with the relevant C-profile •
is fitted to the closing edge(s).
The operator is programmed for slow travel speed (see •
section 4.6.2)
The reversal limit at max. 50 mm opening width has been •
checked and maintained over the entire length of the
main closing edge. Otherwise, the A dimension must be
increased.
These fitting instructions have been observed.•
Fitting principles for a long service life3.2.3
The operator will have a long service life if the following
conditions are met:
Gate travel is smooth.•
The preferred section (see Figure• 1) has been selected.
For uniform gate travel speed, dimensions A and B •
should be as close as possible; do not exceed a max.
difference of 40 mm.
The gate travel speed has a direct influence on the •
resulting forces. They should be kept as low as possible
at the gate closing edge(s).
If possible, use the entire spindle stroke–
A larger dimension A reduces the speed at the gate –
closing edge in the CLOSE direction
