- The main supply must be protected against overload by a suitable trip switch and an earth leakage circuit breaker.
CAUTION: The motorized system must be disconnected from its power source during cleaning, maintenance, and parts replacement.- Installation requires qualified staff with mechanical and electrical skills.
- Make sure that the temperature range indicated on the motorized device is suitable for the installation’s location.
- Only original parts should be used to replace or repair the motorized system.
- This appliance may be used by children at least 8 years old and by people with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or without experience or knowledge if they are properly supervised or instructed in the safe use of the appliance, and if the risks involved have been understood.
- Children should not play with the appliance.
- The user’s cleaning and maintenance must not be carried out by unsupervised children.
- Do not allow children to play with the unit or its controls, including remote controls.
- Activation of the manual disconnection device may cause uncontrolled movement of the driven part due to mechanical failure or loss of balance. Before installing the motorized device, check that the driven part is in good mechanical condition, properly balanced, and opens and closes correctly.
- The motorized device cannot be used with a driven part incorporating a side gate.
- Ensure that crushing caused by the opening movement of the driven part is avoided between the driven part and the surrounding fixed parts.
- After installation, ensure that the mechanism is properly adjusted and that the protection system and any manual disconnection devices function properly.
- Permanently attach the label for the manual disconnection device to the operating element of this device.
- Only use the remote control when you have a complete view of the gate.

WIRING INSTALLING
Standard installation
Dimension chart
Comply with the measures shown on the chart for proper installation. Adjust the gate structure to fit it for best automation, if necessary.
Before starting the installation, please make sure that the gate moves freely and that:
- Hinges are properly positioned and greased.
- No obstacles in the moving area.
- No friction between two gate leaves or on the ground while moving.
- Enough space is left when the gate is opening.
- a. Distance perpendicularly from the gate bolt to the front of the fixing bracket.
- b. Distance from the bolt perpendicular to the surface of the articulated arm opener.
- c. Distance between the position of arm fixation and the bolt.
- d. Installation angle from full closed and full opened position.
Inside opening Dimension chart
Motor fixing
- Refer to the Dimension Chart to choose the correct dimensions of the motors and position.
- Check if the mounting surface of the brackets to be installed is smooth, vertical, and rigid.
- Arrange the cables for power supply cable of the motors.
- Motor installation and setting for a mechanical stopper in opened and closed position.
- Remove the upper cover and mechanical stoppers on the bottom of the motor.
- Place the gate in the fully closed position and fix the U-shaped fixing plate on the wall.
- Install the motor on the U-shape with screws (n°8) and corresponding nuts.
- After positioning the front of the curved arm on the bottom of the motor, position the minor arm on the end of the curved arm and mounting bracket with corresponding screws and nuts.
To unlock the arms refer to paragraph C4
- Closed position adjustment: Once the full closed position is decided, fix the corresponding mechanical stopper in this position.
- Opened position adjustment: Adjust the gate to a fully opened position and once the position is decided, fix it with the corresponding mechanical stopper.
- This operation must be carried out a second time to install the second arm
Emergency release
- Insert the release key to the release slot
- Turn the release key clockwise
- Release and move the gate
- TIP Instead of unlocking a motor with arm strength, you can use a battery connecting the white and yellow motor cables one way or the other following the polarity to operate the motors.
- The white and yellow cables must be disconnected from the electronic card.

Inside opening
Installing Power supply connections
- Please kindly note that the operation of the power connection should be carried out by a qualified electrician with the following steps.
- Make sure that all your connections (motors, blinker, antenna, photocells, lock, etc.) are perfectly made before connecting the 230V power supply to the grey domino. See diagram (Figure 1 – page 24)
Wire connection secondary motor
Photocells
The photocells are safety devices for controlling automatic gates. Consists of one transmitter and one receiver based on waterproof covers; it is triggered while breaking the path of the beams. If an obstacle is detected, the gate stops and opens again slightly allowing the obstacle to be released safely.
Blinker
Remove any packaging before connecting.
SETTING USING
Switch settings (dip switch 1)
Switch settings: «on» down position, «off» up position.
- DIP SWITCH 1:
- ON = double gate operation
- OFF = single gate operation (connection on 5 and 6)
Power setting (dip switch 2 et 3)
Gate auto-close adjustment (dip switch 4) DIP SWITCH 4
- « ON »: Active automatic closing in 30 seconds. Simultaneously pressing the two remotes’ top keys
closed the gate) will turn OFF the automatic mode (the blinker will flash 3 times as confirmation). Repeat the operation to turn ON the automatic mode (the blinker will flash 3 times as confirmation).
- Note: in case of automatic closing, photocells are required.
- « OFF»: Automatic closing OFF (caution it will still be possible to turn ON with the remote)
Photocell adjustment (dip switch 5)
DIP SWITCH 5:
- ON: Photocells ON. When the photocells detect an obstacle while the gate is closing, the gate stops and opens for 2 seconds.
- If the gate auto-close is adjusted, and the photocells detect an obstacle when the gate is totally opened, then the closing time will be reset.
- OFF: No detection by the photocells, the photocells will not control the opening of the gate.
Dephasing of the leaves (dip switch 6)
DIP SWITCH 6 :
- ON: Dephasing in closing/opening of 8 seconds.
- OFF: Dephasing in closing/opening of 3 seconds.
Declaration speed
- The speed is 70% output of the full speed (no adjustment possible).
LED indication
LED 1 RF indicator: radio frequency:
- LED1 blinks when remote controls are activated.
LED 2 System learning:
- LED 2 blinks twice per second during normal operation and once per second during learning. Static LED means incorrect programming.
LED 3 Photocells:
- LED 3 will be on when photocells are not aligned or when an obstacle is between the photocells.
LED 4 Start:
- LED 4 will be on if the switch of the transmitter, key selector, or push button is activated.
Remote controls learning process
- Press the “RF-learn” button for 2 seconds, and the LED1 will be on; then press the transmitter’s top left button.
- The LED1 will blink twice and stay on for 10 seconds then be off. And the remote memorization has been completed.
System learning process double gate
- The remote control memory storing operation must be over before starting the final system learning process.
- The system learning process will be as follows, step by step:
- After step 6, the system learning process is complete.
- You can use it with the remote control:
double gate full opening
pedestrian opening (single gate)
- The LED2 light will remain ON until the system learning process is over. Check the wiring connection and repeat the step.
System learning process simple gate
- Switch 1 OFF.
- Open the leaf gate.
- Pit wal the press the upper-is to store a single second, instead of twice every second
The system learning process will be as follows, step by step:
single gate opening
