Benincà BOB5024 / BOB5024E Automatic Gate Operator

General Information & Dimensions

The BOB5024 and BOB5024E are automatic gate operators designed for various gate applications. The product is manufactured by Automatismi Benincà SpA.

Overall Dimensions:

The operator has a main body with a length of 980mm and a height of 857mm. The width at the base is approximately 70mm. Additional dimensions indicating the profile and projection are 48mm, 87mm, 107mm, and 100mm.

The useful stroke, which is the distance the gate leaf can travel, varies depending on the mechanical stopper configuration:

• With 2 mechanical stoppers: 455 mm
• With 1 mechanical stopper: 485 mm
• Without mechanical stoppers: 520 mm

Technical Specifications & Installation Parameters

The system requires specific installation parameters (X, Y, Z, K, M) to ensure correct operation and maximum opening angles of up to 110°.

Key Technical Data:

Opening Times and Wing Dimensions:

The table below details the maximum opening angles, corresponding opening times, and the maximum dimensions (length L in meters, weight P in kilograms) for the gate leaf:

It is advisable to use an electric lock for enhanced security.

Installation Guide

Mounting the Actuator:

1. Calculate the desired height for the system, ideally centered with the main door and aligned with a strong cross girder. Weld the mounting plate (P) according to Figure 1.

2. With the gate leaf closed, weld bracket (S) to a strong cross beam of the main door or an equivalent structural element, following the dimensions in Figure 1. Ensure the actuator is not at the extreme end of its stroke during this process.

3. Remove the cover (C) by loosening screw (F). Attach the actuator to plate (P) using screw (T) and nut (D) as shown in Figure 2.

4. Secure the actuator to plate (S) using screw (V) and washer (R).

The pre-drilled holes in the actuator (Fig. 1a-1b) assist in achieving optimal installation measurements.

Adjusting Mechanical Stoppers:

The actuator features adjustable mechanical stoppers for opening and closing phases. Adjust these by positioning the 'Open' and 'Close' locks as follows (refer to Figure 3):

1. Unlock the system using the special release lever (refer to user instructions, pages 21-22).
2. Close the gate leaf.
3. Loosen screws (V1) and move the 'Close' lock until it contacts pivot (P). Tighten screws (V1).
4. Open the gate leaf.
5. Loosen screws (V2) and move the 'Open' lock until it contacts pivot (P). Tighten screws (V2).
6. Reset the system to automatic operating mode.

The BOB5024 version includes two limit micro-switches that trigger slightly before the mechanical stops are reached.

Wiring and Connections

Cable Entry:

The mounting plate (P) accommodates cable glands for PG11 or PG13.5. Secure the plate to the adaptor cover using screws (V) after applying the chosen cable gland.

Wiring Diagrams:

Refer to the provided diagrams for correct wiring:

• For BOB5024: Use wiring diagram 'a' (Figure 5a).
• For BOB5024E: Use wiring diagram 'b' (Figure 5b).

Ensure the system is properly grounded using the special GND terminal.

Connection Table:

Electrical System Diagram:

The diagram illustrates the integration of the operator with other system components such as photocells, a key selector, and an indicator light. It specifies cable types and sizes (e.g., 2x0.5mm², 2x1.5mm², 2x2.5mm², 3x0.5mm², 4x0.5mm²) and provides crucial guidance on cable management.

Cable Management Notes:

• Keep power cables separate from auxiliary cables.
• For cable lengths less than 5m, use a 2x2.5mm² cable.
• For cable lengths between 5m and 10m, use a 2x4mm² cable.
• Connecting the control unit and motor with cables longer than 10m is not recommended.

Safety & Warnings

Safety Rules:

• Do not stand in the movement area of the door.
• Do not allow children to play with controls or near the door.
• In case of operating faults, do not attempt repairs; contact a qualified technician.

Manual and Emergency Operation:

In case of power failure or fault, manual operation can be performed:

1. Open the release device cover (Fig. A).
2. Insert the special release key and turn it 90° as indicated by the arrow (Fig. B).
3. The gate can now be opened or closed manually.
4. To restore automatic operation, return the release key to its initial position.
5. Remove the release lever and close the protection cover.

Maintenance:

• Periodically check the emergency manual release mechanism.
• Do not perform unauthorized repairs; contact a qualified technician for all maintenance operations.
• The operator is maintenance-free, but regular checks of safety devices and other system components are necessary to prevent potential dangers from wear and tear.
