3.7 INSTALLING THE GEARMOTOR
17
a Incorrect installation may cause serious physical
injury to the person working on the system or to its
future users.
Before starting to assemble the automation, com-
plete the preliminary checks described in the “Pre-
installation checks” and “Product usage limits”
paragraphs.

If there is a support surface:

1. open the cubicle panel

15

If there is no support surface:

1. dig the hole to insert the foundation plate
Note The anchoring surface must be completely flat and
smooth. If the surface is made of concrete, the latter
must be at least 0,15 m thick and must be suitably rein-
forced with iron cages. The concrete must have a vol-
ume above 0.2 m3 (a 0.25 m thickness corresponds to
0.8 m2, that is, equal to a square base with sides each
measuring roughly 0.9 m). The plate can be anchored to
the concrete using the 4 expansion bolts, equipped with
2. place the cubicle on the anchoring surface and mark the 12 MA screws capable of withstanding a tensile load of
points corresponding to the slots at least 400 kg. If the anchoring surface is made of a
different material, it is necessary to verify its consistency
and whether the four anchoring points can withstand a
16
load of at least 1,000 kg. Use the 12 MA screws to fas-
ten the plate.
2. arrange the pipes for routing the electrical cables
3. fasten the four anchor bolts (A) to the foundation plate, in-
serting a nut and washer (supplied) on each, on the upper
and lower sides of the plate

thread.

priate nuts and washers (not supplied).

Note The imbalance is acceptable when the force required
to move the boom during the opening and closing ma-
noeuvres and in all other positions is less than or equal
to half the nominal value. The force required is therefore
equal to roughly 1.5 kg for M3; 3.5 kg for M5; 4.5 kg for
M7. The force is measured perpendicularly to the boom
at 1 m from the rotation axis.

Note The imbalance is acceptable when the force required

to move the boom during the opening and closing ma-
noeuvres and in all other positions is less than or equal

6.2 COMMISSIONING

a Commissioning can only be performed after all test-

ing phases have been successfully completed.

a Before commissioning the automation, ensure that

the owner is properly informed of all residual risks
and hazards.

a The gate cannot be commissioned partially or un-

der “temporary” conditions.
To commission the automation:
1. compile the automation’s technical file, which must in-
clude the following documents: overall drawing of the
automation, wiring diagram, risk assessment and relative
solutions adopted, the manufacturer’s declaration of con-
formity for all devices used and the declaration of con-
formity compiled by the installer
2. affix a permanent label or sign on the cubicle specifying
the operations for unlocking the gate and manoeuvring it
manually “Figure 41“

41

3. affix a data plate to the cubicle specifying at least the

following data: type of automation, name and address of
the manufacturer (responsible for commissioning), serial
number, year of manufacture and CE mark
4. compile the declaration of conformity of the automation
and hand it to the owner of the automation
5. compile the User Manual of the automation and hand it to
the owner of the automation
6. compile and provide the owner with the automation’s
“Maintenance schedule”, containing the maintenance in-
structions for all the automation’s devices.

l For all the above-mentioned documentation, Nice –

through its technical assistance service – provides
the following: pre-completed forms.

Turning clockwise or anti-clockwise the encoder (A) allows for scrolling on the display (B) the parameters shown in “Table 5”, which
identify the Level 1 menu.
After identifying the desired Level 1 parameter, on the basis of the required programming, press and release the encoder (A) to

Turning the encoder (A) causes the Level 2 values to scroll (flashing display). After selecting the value by pressing the encoder
(A), the system returns to Level 1.
Among the optional values that can be displayed there are “ESC” and “---“: after selecting “ESC” by pressing and releasing the
encoder (A), the system returns to the Level 1 parameters without modifying the programming, while the value “---” identifies the
programming made through the Oview external programmer. This value cannot be selected as a mere Level 2 parameter.

If a warning light (or a LED warning light is used – optional accessory) is connected to the control unit’s FLASH output, it will flash
once a second during manoeuvres. If any anomalies occur, the warning light will emit shorter flashes which are repeated twice with
a 1-second pause between each pair. The same signals are also emitted by the LED warning light (optional accessory).
