3. Konnessjonijiet elettriċi
Connect the operator to the control board (sold separately) and the 115V AC power supply. All electrical wiring must comply with local electrical codes and be performed by a licensed electrician. Ensure proper grounding.
- Connect power leads to the control board's designated terminals.
- Connect motor wires from the operator to the control board.
- Install safety devices such as photocells and safety edges as required.
4. Initial Programming and Calibration
After physical installation and electrical connections, the control board will need to be programmed to recognize the gate's travel limits and operating parameters. Refer to the control board's specific instruction manual for detailed programming steps. This typically involves:
- Learning the open and close positions.
- Setting force and speed parameters.
- Configuring remote controls and other accessories.
Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
1. Operazzjoni Standard
Once installed and programmed, the gate opener can be operated via a remote control, keypad, or other access control devices connected to the control board. Pressing the designated button will initiate the gate's opening or closing cycle.
- A single press typically opens a closed gate or closes an open gate.
- During operation, a second press may stop the gate, and a third press may reverse its direction, depending on the control board's programming.
2. Manual Release Procedure
In case of power failure or malfunction, the gate can be operated manually using the key-protected release mechanism on the operator.
- Locate the manual release mechanism on the operator (refer to Figure 1).
- Insert the provided key into the lock and turn it to unlock the mechanism.
- Engage the release lever or knob as instructed by the specific model's design (e.g., pull, twist).
- Il-bieb issa jista' jiġi mċaqlaq bl-idejn.

- Kull xahar: Visually inspect the operator and gate for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Check that the gate moves freely and smoothly.
- Kull tliet xhur: Test all safety devices (photocells, safety edges) to ensure they are functioning correctly. Clean any debris from the gate's path and around the operator.
- Kull sena: Have a qualified technician inspect the hydraulic fluid levels and overall system performance.
Nota: Always disconnect power to the gate opener before performing any maintenance or inspection.
