3. Setup and Installation

Proper installation is crucial for the safe and efficient operation of your sliding gate motor. Please follow these steps carefully. It is recommended to consult a qualified technician for electrical connections.

3.1. Foundation Plate Installation

  1. Prepare the Base: Ensure a stable, level concrete base for the motor.
  2. Position the Foundation Plate: Place the galvanized foundation plate on the prepared base. Mark the drilling points according to the plate's holes.
  3. Drill Holes: Drill holes in the concrete base at the marked positions.
  4. Secure the Plate: Insert anchor bolts into the drilled holes and secure the foundation plate firmly.

3.2. Motor Mounting

  1. Place the Motor: Carefully place the motor unit onto the secured foundation plate, aligning the motor's gear with the gate's rack.
  2. Secure the Motor: Fasten the motor to the foundation plate using the provided bolts, washers, and nuts. Ensure it is securely tightened.

3.3. Rack Installation

The kit includes 5 meters of galvanized rack. Install the rack segments along the gate, ensuring proper alignment with the motor's gear.

  1. Align the Rack: Temporarily position the first rack segment, ensuring its teeth mesh correctly with the motor's gear. Maintain a small clearance (approx. 1-2mm) between the rack and the gear to allow for smooth movement.
  2. Mark and Drill: Mark the drilling points on the gate for the rack brackets. Drill holes and attach the rack segments using the provided fasteners.
  3. Extend the Rack: Continue adding rack segments, ensuring they are perfectly aligned and maintain the correct clearance with the motor gear along the entire length of the gate.
  4. Secure All Segments: Once all rack segments are in place and aligned, tighten all fasteners securely.

3.4. Electrical Connections

All electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician. Refer to the wiring diagram provided in the full manual for detailed instructions.

  • Power Supply: Connect the 220V power supply to the designated terminals on the control unit. Ensure proper grounding.
  • Accessories: Connect any optional accessories such as photocells, keypads, or additional safety devices to their respective terminals on the control unit.

3.5. Magnetic Limit Switch Installation

The magnetic limit switches define the gate's open and closed positions.

  1. Open Position Limit Switch: Manually move the gate to its fully open position. Install the "open" magnetic limit switch on the rack so that it activates the motor's internal sensor at this position.
  2. Closed Position Limit Switch: Manually move the gate to its fully closed position. Install the "closed" magnetic limit switch on the rack so that it activates the motor's internal sensor at this position.
  3. Test and Adjust: Run the gate through a full open/close cycle to verify that the limit switches stop the gate at the desired positions. Adjust as necessary.

4. Operating Instructions

The Dieffematic KV6 motor offers various operating modes and features for convenient and safe use.

4.1. Remote Control Operation

  • Pairing: The radio receiver is integrated into the control unit. Follow the instructions in the full manual to pair your remote controls with the system.
  • Open/Close: Press the designated button on your remote control to open or close the gate.
  • Stop: Press the button again during operation to stop the gate.

4.2. Automatic Programming

The intelligent control unit features automatic course programming, adjusting motor torque and speed reduction for optimal performance. Refer to the control unit's specific programming guide for detailed setup of operating logics (step-by-step, semi-automatic, automatic condominium).

4.3. Manual Release

In case of a power outage or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually using the personalized key release system. Insert the key into the lock and turn it to disengage the motor, allowing you to move the gate by hand.

4.4. Safety Features

  • Obstacle Detection: The motor is equipped with an obstacle detector that reverses the gate's movement if an obstruction is encountered during closing.
  • Photocell Input: Connect optional photocells to enhance safety, preventing the gate from closing if an object or person is in its path.
  • Surge Limiters: Integrated surge limiters protect the system from electrical spikes.
