IMPORTANT ADVICE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ESSENTIALLY DESCRIBE THE INSTALLATION OF THE ART300 DRIVE WITH
THE ACCESSORY ARM ART-3, FOR INSTALLATION ON A SWING DOOR.
IF THE ART-1 FOLDING DOOR ARM OR THE SPACE-SAVING ART-2 DOOR ARM ARE INSTALLED IT IS ESSENTIAL TO
FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED WITH THOSE ITEMS. THE INSTALLATION WORK VARIES FROM THESE
INSTRUCTIONS AT SOME POINTS. WARNING AND SAFETY ADVICE IS EXCEPTED FROM THIS.
PLEASE START BY READING THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY RULES • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This safety alert symbol means "Caution" - failure to comply with such an instruction involves risk of personal injury or
damage to property. Please read these warnings carefully.
This gate drive mechanism is designed and tested to offer appropriately safe service provided it is installed and operated
in strict accordance with the following safety rules.
Incorrect installation and/or failure to comply with the following instructions may result in serious personal injury or
property damage.
When using tools and small parts to install or carry out
repair work on a gate exercise caution and do not wear
rings, watches or loose clothing.
Installation and wiring must be in compliance with your local
building and electrical installation codes. Power cables must
only be connected to a properly earthed supply.
Any entrapment possibility by the moving wing between
wing & walls must be secured with safety edges or IR-
sensors.
Please remove any locks fitted to the gate in order to prevent
damage to the gate.
After the installation a final test of the full function of the
system and the full function of the safety devices must be
done.
This drive cannot be used with a gate incorporating a
wicket door unless the drive cannot be operated with the
wicket door open.
As far as gate drive systems are concerned that are
meant to be controlled via a switch with a default OFF
setting, the control operating unit can only be fitted in
publicly accessible locations if its use can be restricted via
a switch or similar.
As far as gate drive systems are concerned that are meant
to be controlled via a switch with a default OFF setting, the
control operating unit must be fitted in a location offering a
direct view of the power-driven gate, but at a distance away
from any moving parts and at a height of at least 1.5m.

It is important to make sure that the gate always runs
smoothly. Gates which stick or jam must be repaired
immediately. Employ a qualified technician to repair the
gate, never attempt to repair it yourself.
Keep additional accessories away from children. Do not
allow children to play with pushbuttons or remote controls.
Kinder nicht mit den Regel- oder Steuereinrichtungen
spielen lassen. A gate can cause serious injuries as it
closes.
Disconnect electric power to the system before making
repairs or removing covers. A disconnecting device must be
provided in the permanently-wired installation to guarantee
all-pole disconnection by means of a switch (at least 3mm
contact gap) or by a separate fuse.
Make sure that people who install, maintain or operate the
gate drive follow these instructions. Keep these instructions
in a safe place so that you can refer to them quickly when
you need to.
The full protection against potential squeeze or
entrappment must work direct when the drive arms are
installed.
The gate drive system is to be regularly examined for any
signs of wear and tear or damage. The gate drive system
may not be used if repair or adjustment work has to be
carried out on it.
INSTALLATION
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
The ART is suitable for use with wide piers, up to about 30cm in width.
Each gate wing should not exceed 3,0m in width or 250kg in weight.
The maximum recommended opening angle of the gate is 125 degrees.
Ensure that ample space is available next to the drive for the arms and
assembly. Gates exposed to a high wind load must be fixed with an
electric lock for additional protection. While the drive is fitted with
internal limit switches, stops should also be mounted on the ground to
prevent gate rattle or flutter.
There are many factors to consider when choosing the right drive
mechanism. Assuming that a gate functions properly, "startup" is the
most difficult phase, once the gate is in motion, significantly less force is
usually required to move it.
• Gate size: Gate size is a very important factor. Wind can brake or
distort the gate, thereby increasing the amount of force needed to
move it considerably.
• Gate weight: The weight of the gate in not as relevant as the size.
• Effect of temperature: Low outdoor temperatures can make initial
startup more difficult (changes in the ground, etc.) or even prevent it.
High outdoor temperatures along with frequent use can trigger
thermal protection prematurely (approx. 140 ºC).
• Operating frequency/operating time: Drive mechanisms are
designed for a maximum operating time (running time) of
approximately 30% (e.g. 30% during any one hour). Important: The
drive mechanism is not designed to operate continuously at its
maximum operating time (non-stop operation). Otherwise the drive
mechanism becomes too hot and switches off until it cools down to
the switch-on temperature. The outdoor temperature and the gate are
important parameters that affect the actual operating time.
