Operation Manual

A larger dimension B reduces the speed at the gate –
closing edge in the OPEN direction
Always select a large dimension B if you want a large –
gate opening angle. The operator must be
programmed for slow speed (see section 4.6.2).
The max. gate opening angle decreases with a larger •
dimension A.
For a large gate opening angle and/or small A –
dimension, the operator must be programmed for
slow speed (see section 4.6.2).
To reduce the overall forces on the spindle, dimension A •
and the distance between the pivot point of the gate and
the spindle attachment to the gate must be as large as
possible.
NOTES:
Selecting an unnecessarily large opening angle will impair •
gate travel.
The values indicated in the table in Figure• 1 are only
guidelines.
Attaching the fittings3.2.4
The fittings provided are galvanized and prepared for after-
treatment.
Stone or concrete posts
Observe the recommendations for plug hole edge distances.
For the plugs included in the delivery, the minimum distance
is one plug length.
Turn the plugs so that the direction the plug spreads is
parallel to the edge.
Adhesive bond anchors, which allow a grub screw to be glued
into the brickwork free of tension, offer an even better hold.
For masonry posts, the post bracket should be fitted or
welded to a large steel plate that is screwed onto and covers
multiple bricks.
An angle plate that goes around the edge of the post is also
good for fitting.
Steel posts
Check whether the available support is stable enough. If this
is not the case, it must be reinforced.
Using rivet nuts may also be expedient.
The fittings can also be welded on directly.
Wooden posts
The gate hardware must be tightened using through-holes.
Use large steel washers or, even better, a steel plate on the
rear of the post to ensure that it cannot come loose.
Fitting the operator3.2.5
ATTENTION
Dirt
Drilling dust and chippings from drilling work can lead to
malfunctions.
Cover the operator during drilling work.

Pay attention that fitting is horizontal, stable and secure

at both the post and gate leaf.
If necessary, use other suitable connectors. Unsuitable

connectors may not hold up to the forces resulting during
opening and closing.
To fit the hinged gate operator:
Fit the post fitting in accordance with the determined 1.
dimensions, grease the appropriate bolt and fix the
operator (see Figure 2.1).
Unscrew the linking bar out to the maximum marking.2.
To create a reserve, screw the linking bar back in by ½ a 3.
turn (see Figure 2.2).
Grease the appropriate bolt, fit the linking bar fitting and 4.
temporarily attach to the gate with a screw clamp (see
Figure 2.2).
Check the final dimensions by manually moving the gate 5.
into the end-of-travel positions while the operator is
disengaged (see Figure 2.3).
Mark the drill holes, remove the screw clamp, drill both 6.
holes and fix the linking bar fitting (see Figure 2.4).
3.3 Fitting the operator control
WARNING
Danger of injury due to unwanted
gate travel
Incorrect assembly or handling of the
operator may trigger unwanted gate
travel that may result in persons or
objects being trapped
Follow all the instructions provided

in this manual.
Incorrectly attached control devices (e.g.
buttons) may trigger unwanted gate
travel. Persons or objects may be
trapped as a result.
Install control devices at a height of

at least 1.5 m (out of the reach of
children).
Fit permanently installed control

devices (such as buttons) so that
the entire area of travel of the gate
is visible, but they are still away
from moving parts.
Persons or objects may be trapped if the
installed safety equipment fails.
In accordance with BGR 232, install

at least one clearly visible and easily
accessible emergency command
unit (emergency OFF) near the gate
so the gate can be brought to a
standstill in the case of danger
(see section 4.5.3)
ATTENTION
Moisture
Penetrating moisture may damage the control.
Protect the control from moisture when you open the

control housing.
The operator control must be fit vertically and with the

cable fixings towards the bottom.
To retrofit cable fixings, punch through the pre-stamped

break points, making sure that the cover is closed first.
The length of the connection cable between the operator

and control may be max. 40 m.
