4. Setup u Installazzjoni
Nota: L-installazzjoni għandha titwettaq biss minn tekniku kwalifikat.
4.1 Verifiki ta' qabel l-installazzjoni
- Ensure the gate structure is sound and moves freely without obstruction.
- Verify that the gate hinges are in good working condition.
- Confirm the availability of a stable 230V-50Hz power supply at the installation site.
4.2 Immuntar tal-Mutur
- Determine the optimal mounting positions for the motor on the gate post and gate leaf, considering the gate's opening angle and available space.
- Securely attach the rear mounting bracket to the gate post using appropriate fasteners.
- Attach the front mounting bracket to the gate leaf.
- Mount the motor unit onto the brackets, ensuring it is level and aligned correctly with the gate's pivot points.
4.3 Konnessjonijiet elettriċi
- Route the power cables and control cables according to local electrical codes, ensuring they are protected from damage.
- Connect the 230V-50Hz power supply to the control board, observing correct polarity and grounding.
- Connect the motor cables to the designated terminals on the control board.
- Connect any safety devices (e.g., photocells, safety edges) and accessories (e.g., remote receivers, keypads) to the control board as per their respective manuals.
4.4 Konfigurazzjoni Inizjali
- Refer to the control board's specific manual for detailed programming instructions.
- Perform the initial learning cycle to set the gate's opening and closing limits.
- Adjust motor force and speed settings as required.
- Test all safety devices to ensure they function correctly.
5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
5.1 Operazzjoni Awtomatika
- To open the gate: Press the designated button on your remote control or access device. The gate will open to its programmed limit.
- To close the gate: Press the designated button again. The gate will close to its programmed limit.
- To stop the gate during movement: Press the button once more. The gate will pause. Pressing it again will resume movement in the opposite direction.
5.2 Rilaxx manwali
