2 Conditions of use 2.1 Intended use The BX-74 motor is designed to operate residential sliding gates; while, the BX-78 may also be used in condominiums. Do not install or use unless as otherwise shown in this manual. 2.2 Limitations to use BX-74: max weight of the gate is 400 kg.
5.2 Tools and materials Make sure you have all the tools and materials you will need for the installation at hand to work in total safety and compliance with the current standards and regulations. The following figure illustrates the minimum equipment needed by the installer. 5.3 Cable list and minimum thickness Length of cable Length of cable...

5.5 Securing the plate and installing the assembly The following applications are only examples, as the space for installing the ratiomotor and accessories varies according to obstructions. It is thus up to the system installer to select the most suitable solution. - Dig a pit to the side of the gate (see measurements from diagram).
Page 7
- To position the plate in relation to the rack please see the measurements on the diagram. Fill the form box with cement and wait for at least 24 hours for it to solidify. - Remove the form box, fi ll the pit around the cement block with soil. - Unbolt the nuts and washers from the bolts.

- Remove the cover from the gearmotor by loosening the side bolts, perforate the cable shafts using a screwdriver or a pair of scissors and position the gearmotor atop the plate. Careful! The electric cables must pass through the cable shafts. - Lift the gearmotor from the securing plate by about 5 to 10mm by using the threaded steel-levelling feet to allow any later adjustments between the pinion and the rack.
Page 9
- Open and close the gate manually and register the pinion-to-rack distance using the threaded steel-levelling feet (for vertical adjusting) and the slotted holes (horizontal adjusting). This prevents the weight of the gate from bearing on the operator. Rack Rack Pinion Pinion Levelling feet...

5.6 Mounting the endstop fins Place the endstop fi ns onto the rack and secure them using a 3 mm Allen wrench. Their positioning limits the gate run. Note: the gate schould not slam against the mechanical stop, when opening or closing. Mechanical stop 5.7 Manually releasing the gearmotor - Insert the trilobed key into the lock, push it in and turn it clockwise ..

8 Connecting two coupled gearmotors having a single control With two coupled gearmotors, you can command only the opening (by button and/or radio control): the gate will close only in automatic closing mode. • Coordinate the direction of travel of the two gearmotors , by modifying the motor's rotation (invert the cables on terminals FA-FC and U-V).
10 Maintenance 10.1 Periodic maintenance Periodic maintenance to be carried out by the end-user is as follows: wipe clean the glass surface of the photocells; check that the safety devices work properly; remove any obstructions. We suggest checking the state of lubrication and tightness of the anchoring screws on the operator. -To check the efficiency of the safety devices, move an object in front of the photocells when gate is closing.
Periodic maintenance log for end-user (every 6 moths) Signature Date Notes 10.3 Extra-ordinary maintenance The following table serves to note down any extraordinary maintenance, repairs or improvements performed by specialised firms. N.B.: Any extraordinary maintenance must be performed by specialised technicians. Extra-ordinary maintenance log Installer’s stamp Operator name...
