- Prepare the Foundation: Ensure a solid, level concrete foundation is prepared next to the gate opening, suitable for mounting the motor unit.
- Mount the Base Plate: Securely fasten the motor unit's base plate to the foundation using appropriate anchors.
- Position the Motor Unit: Place the motor unit onto the base plate, ensuring it is aligned correctly with the gate's rack.
- Install the Rack: Attach the sliding gate rack securely to the gate, ensuring it meshes correctly with the motor's pinion gear.

- Power Supply: Connect the 230V AC power supply to the designated terminals on the control board. Ensure proper grounding.
- Motor Wiring: Connect the motor wires to the control board. The board allows for easy setting of the opening direction directly from the display, eliminating the need to modify motor wiring.
- Safety Devices (Photocells): Install the photocells (001DIR10) on either side of the gate opening, ensuring they are aligned. Connect them to the control board. The system supports self-diagnosis of both wired and wireless safety devices.
- Flashing Light: Mount the flashing LED light (001KLED24) in a visible location and connect it to the control board.
- Radio Frequency Board: Insert the plug-in radio frequency board (001AF43S) into its dedicated slot on the control board for remote control functionality.

4.3 Initial Configuration and Programming
The control board features a display and separate terminals for quick configuration. Settings can be saved via Memory Roll.
- Power On: Apply power to the system.
- Automatic Learning Cycle: Follow the instructions on the control board's display to initiate the automatic learning cycle for gate travel limits.
- Remote Control Pairing: Program the two-channel transmitters (806TS-0121) by following the pairing procedure outlined in the control board's specific manual.
- Safety Device Test: Verify the correct operation of photocells and other safety devices.

For advanced programming and remote control via smartphone, compatibility with the CAME KEY wireless interface and CONNECT system is available (not included).
5. Operating Instructions
The CAME BXV system is designed for user-friendly operation.
5.1 Normal Operation
- Opening/Closing: Press the designated button on your remote control (806TS-0121) to open or close the gate. A second press during movement will stop the gate.
- Safety Features: The system's encoder ensures precise slowdown management at the end of travel. Efficient obstacle detection will stop or reverse the gate if an obstruction is detected by the photocells.
- Flashing Light: The flashing LED light (001KLED24) will activate during gate movement to indicate operation.
5.2 Manual Release in Case of Power Failure
In the event of a power outage, the gate can be operated manually using the easy manual release system.
Image: Close-up of the CAME BXV motor unit showing the manual release mechanism, typically operated with a trilobate key.
- Locate the manual release mechanism on the motor unit.
- Insert the provided trilobate key into the lock and turn it to disengage the motor.
- Manually push the gate to open or close it.
- To re-engage the motor, turn the key back to the locked position and remove it. The gate will click into place.
Optional emergency batteries (not included) can provide continued operation during blackouts.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable performance of your CAME BXV system.
- Monthly Check:
- Inspect the gate's movement for any unusual noises or resistance.
- Clean the photocell lenses to ensure clear visibility.
- Check the rack and pinion for debris and clean if necessary.
- Quarterly Check:
- Test the safety devices (photocells) by obstructing their path during gate movement. The gate should stop or reverse.
- Verify all electrical connections are secure and free from corrosion.
- Check the mounting bolts of the motor unit and gate rack for tightness.
- Annual Professional Service: It is recommended to have the system inspected by a qualified technician annually to ensure optimal performance and safety compliance.
The internal protection cover for the electronic board helps protect it from environmental elements.
