Mechanical end stops (limits)
It is mandatory that your gate has mechanical limits fixed on the ground.
The limits must stop the gate wings in the closed and open position of each wing. Your gate must be
provided with mechanical end stops to be automated. The end sops on the floor can only be omissed
in case of gate opener supplied with integrated limits (FC versions).
Ducati's gate openers are conceived to stop by amperometric detection. When the gate wing touches
and pushes on the mechanical limit (end stop), an amperometrical increase is detected by the control
board and motor stops. An imperceptible drive reversal draws pressure from the gears of the engine
to preserve its life
Warning: make sure not to use the full actuator stroke as the gate wing must stop by pressing
on a mechanical end limit (fixed on the ground or FC onboard limit) before the actuator rea-
ches the end of it's stroke.
Warning: if you purchased an FC version actuator, check whether the integrated limit can be used for
the open or closed gate position: in fact, not all FC-actuators have double end travel for both positions
gate open + gate closed. The use of the integrated travel limit also depends on the opening direction
of the gate ( push-to-open or pull-to-open).

To ensure a perfect lock of the gate when
closed, the actuator must be installed in way
to have an angle of incidence to the gate
wing in closed position.a greater angle ensu-
