3.2 PRELIMINARY CHECKS
The structure of the gate directly influences the reliability
and safety of the automated system. To ensure correct
operation, the structure of the existing gate, or that to be
fitted, must have the following characteristics:
• The length of leaf must conform to what is shown in the
technical characteristics of the operator (Section 2).
• The structure of the leaves must be sturdy and rigid,
suitable for an automated system.
• There must be regular and uniform movement of the
leaves, with no friction or sticking along their entire
movement.
• Hinges must be suitably sturdy and in good condition.
It is recommended that any metalwork operations
should be performed prior to installing the automated
system.
3.1 ELECTRICAL SETUP
When laying electrical cables, use conduits with adequate
rigidity and/or flexibility.
To avoid any type of interference, always separate low-
voltage accessories and command connection wiring from
power supply cables, use separate sheaths.

3.3 INSTALLATION DIMENSIONS
Determine the assembly position of the operator, referring to
Figure 4 and relative table. It is a good idea at this stage to
choose whether or not you want to use the built in mechanical
positive stops; eliminating the mechanical stops increases the
working stroke of the operator and values A and B must be
changed.
