4. Setup and Installation

Careful installation is crucial for the proper functioning and longevity of your gate motor. Follow these steps precisely.

4.1 Mounting the Motor

The motor should be mounted securely to both the gate post and the gate leaf. Refer to the technical drawing for precise measurements and mounting points.

Image 4.1: Technical Dimensions and Wiring Diagram. This image provides critical measurements for mounting the gate operator, including distances from the gate hinge and required clearances. It also illustrates the electrical connections for the main power, motor cables, electric lock, and additional control cables for a dual-leaf gate setup.

1. Determine Mounting Position: Use the provided technical drawing (Image 4.1, left side) to identify the optimal mounting points on your gate post and gate leaf. Pay close attention to the "Abstand vom Tor- und Antriebsdrehpunkt" (Distance from gate and drive pivot point) and "Abstand des Tordrehpunkts zur Montageplatte" (Distance of gate pivot point to mounting plate) for correct alignment.
2. Secure Brackets: Attach the mounting brackets firmly to the gate post and gate leaf using appropriate fasteners. Ensure they are level and aligned according to the dimensions.
3. Attach Motor: Connect the gate motor to the secured brackets. Ensure the motor arm moves freely and without obstruction throughout the gate's full range of motion.
4. Install Mechanical Stops: For gates up to 5m, a mechanical stop is mandatory for the final open and closed positions. Install these stops securely on the ground or gate frame to prevent over-travel.

4.2 Electrical Connections

All electrical work must be performed by a certified electrician. Refer to the wiring diagram (Image 4.1, right side) for correct connections.

1. Mains Connection: Connect the main power supply (230 V, NYY 3 x 1.5²) to the control unit. Ensure proper grounding.
2. Motor Cables: Connect the motor cables (NYY 5 x 1.5²) from the control unit to each gate motor. For distances up to 10m, use the specified cable type.
3. Electric Lock (Optional): If using an electric lock, connect its cables (NYY 3 x 1.5² underground, H07RN-F 2 x 1² on the door leaf) to the designated terminals on the control unit.
4. Additional Control Cables: For any additional control devices (e.g., photocells, keypads), connect their cables (e.g., NYY 5 x 1.5² underground) to the appropriate terminals.
5. Cable Management: Lay all cables separately to avoid interference and ensure they are protected from damage and weather.

5. Operating Instructions

Your Hormann gate motor is designed for convenient and secure operation.

5.1 Initial Programming

After installation, the gate motor needs to be programmed to learn the gate's travel limits. Refer to the control unit's specific programming guide for detailed steps. This typically involves:

• Setting the open and closed end positions.
• Adjusting force limits and speed if applicable.
• Pairing the RSC 2 hand transmitters.

5.2 Using the Hand Transmitters (RSC 2)

The included RSC 2 hand transmitters allow for convenient remote operation of your gate.

Image 5.1: Remote Gate Operation. This image illustrates the convenience of operating the gate remotely using the hand transmitter, allowing a vehicle to enter or exit without manual intervention.

• Press the designated button on the RSC 2 transmitter to open or close the gate.
• Pressing the button again during operation will stop the gate.
• Pedestrian Passage: The system allows for partial opening of one gate leaf for pedestrian access. Consult your control unit's manual for programming this feature.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the long life and reliable operation of your gate motor.

• Monthly: Inspect the gate and motor for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Clean any debris from the motor housing and gate tracks.
• Quarterly: Check the alignment of the gate leaves and ensure they move smoothly without excessive friction. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer (refer to the full technical manual).
• Annually: Have a qualified technician perform a comprehensive inspection of the motor, electrical connections, and safety features.
• Ensure the mechanical stops are secure and functioning correctly.

7. Troubleshooting
