4. Setup and Installation
Installation of the BH30/804/R gearmotor requires technical expertise. It is highly recommended that installation be performed by a certified professional.
General Steps:
- Mounting the Base: Securely fix the KT214 complete fixing base to a stable concrete foundation, ensuring it is level and aligned with the gate's movement path.
- Attaching the Gearmotor: Mount the BH30/804/R gearmotor onto the fixing base using the provided tensioners and screws.
- Electrical Connections: Connect the main power supply (230 V AC - 50 Hz) and motor power supply (24 V DC) to the integrated B70/1DC control unit. Ensure proper grounding.
- Limit Switch Installation: Install the MC775 magnetic limit switch kit according to the gate's open and closed positions.
- Accessory Connection: Connect any optional accessories such as safety photocells, flashing lights, or backup batteries.
- Initial Programming: Follow the B70/1DC control unit's specific instructions for initial programming, including gate travel learning and setting operating parameters.
5. Operating Instructions
Once installed and programmed, the gearmotor operates automatically.
- Automatic Operation: The gate can be opened or closed using a remote control, push button, or other connected access control devices.
- Safety Features: The native digital encoder and magnetic limit switches ensure precise control and stop the gate at its programmed positions. Obstacle detection features (if enabled and with appropriate sensors) will reverse the gate's movement upon detecting an obstruction.
- Manual Release: In case of power failure, the gearmotor can be manually disengaged to allow the gate to be opened or closed by hand. Refer to the specific instructions for the manual release mechanism on the unit.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your gearmotor.
- Monthly Checks:
- Inspect the gate's movement for smoothness and any unusual noises.
- Check safety devices (photocells, safety edges) for proper function.
- Ensure the mounting bolts are secure.
- Bi-Annual Checks (by qualified technician):
- Lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Inspect electrical connections for wear or corrosion.
- Verify the integrity of the gate structure and its components.
- Cleaning: Keep the gearmotor housing clean and free from debris. Do not use high-pressure water jets directly on the unit.
7. Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, review the following common issues and their potential solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Gate does not move. | No power supply; safety devices activated; motor overload. | Check power connection; inspect safety sensors for obstructions; allow motor to cool down. |
| Gate stops mid-movement. | Obstacle detected; faulty limit switch; motor overheating. | Remove obstruction; check limit switch wiring/position; allow motor to cool. |
| Remote control not working. | Dead battery; out of range; remote not programmed. | Replace battery; move closer to receiver; reprogram remote control. |
For issues not listed here or if solutions do not resolve the problem, please contact qualified technical support.
