Installing The Filo Gearmotor Model 400C/600C - Nice FILO Series Instructions And Warnings For Installation And Use

3.5 - INSTALLING THE FILO GEARMOTOR model 400C/600C

• All installation operations must be made with the system disconnected from the power supply. If the back-up battery is present, it
must be disconnected
• Incorrect installation may cause serious physical injury to those working on or using the system.
• Prior to starting, carry out the pre-installation checks stated under Paragraph 3.1.
• For the system's correct operation, it is necessary to include mechanical stops (not provided with the kit) on the ground or wall,
positioned at the maximum opening and closing points of the gate leaf.
If the rack must be installed: see Par. 3.5.1
If the rack is already present: see Par. 3.5.2
3.5.1 - INSTALLATION WITH RACK TO BE INSTALLED (Fig. 4)
01. Observe the measurements to be used for positioning the foundation plate, depending on the position chosen for the
motor's installation (Phase 01 - Fig. 4)
02. Excavate a suitably sized foundation hole and arrange one or more tubes for feeding the electrical cables (Phase 02 -
Fig. 4): leave the tubes longer than 40 cm.
03. Pour the concrete, while keeping away the tubes for the cables (Phase 03 - Fig. 4)
04. - Mount the two anchor bolts on the foundation plate using two nuts for every anchor bolt: a normal nut fastened beneath the plate and a self-
locking nut fastened above it (on the side containing the image of the pinion): Phase 04 - Fig. 4
- Place the foundation plate above the concrete, by putting the side with the image of the pinion towards the gate and making sure that the plate
lies parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level (Phase 04 - Fig. 4)
- Ensure that the tubes for passing the electrical cables come out of the hole on the plate (Phase 04 - Fig. 4)
05. Wait for the concrete to harden (Phase 05 - Fig. 4)
06. When the concrete is sufficiently dry (after a few days), remove the 2 upper nuts and keep them to fasten the gearmotor (Phase 06 - Fig. 4)
07. Fasten the two mechanical stops (not supplied) as shown in Phase 07 - Fig. 4
08. Open the gearmotor's cover Phase 08 - Fig. 4
09. Shorten the tubes for protecting the cable by 20/30 mm and place the gearmotor on the plate (Phase 09 - Fig. 4)
10. Manually release the gearmotor (Phase 10 - Fig. 4)
11. Insert the washers on the pins and screw on the self-locking nuts (provided), without tightening them strongly (Phase 11 - Fig. 4).
the motor and the gate leaf lie perfectly parallel to one another then tighten the nuts strongly
12. Take a 2–3 cm spacer and place it in front of the mechanical stop (Phase 12 - Fig. 4), then manually move the gate towards the mechanical stop
while making it lie on the spacer
13. Place the first section of the rack above the pinion of the gearmotor (Phase 13 - Fig. 4).
and pinion (this applies to all parts!), so that the weight of the gate does not bear on the motor. The rack must protrude by a few centimetres with
respect to the pinion's vertical axis
14. Proceed by securing the other parts of the rack in succession: to keep the rack horizontal, mark its fixing hole when the slot lies on the vertical axis
of the pinion. Repeat this operation for all fastening positions (Phase 14 - Fig. 4)
15. After having fastened the last part of the rack, if it protrudes from the gate, cut the part in excess (Phase 15 - Fig. 4).
trude from the gate
16. Take a 2–3 cm spacer and place it in front of the mechanical stop (Phase 16 - Fig. 4), then manually move the gate towards the mechanical stop
while making it lie on the spacer. When moving the gate, make sure that the rack slides regularly over the pinion
17. Manually lock the gearmotor (Phase 17 - Fig. 4).
At this point it is possible to install the accessories that belong to the system: for photocells PH200 > Par. 3.6 (Fig. 6) - for flashing light FL200
> Par. 3.7 (Fig. 7). For other optional accessories, consult the respective instruction manuals.
3.5.2 - INSTALLATION WITH RACK ALREADY MOUNTED (Fig. 5)
Warning: – Before securing the gearmotor, check that the existing rack is compatible with the pinion's overall dimen-
sions. – Make sure that the distance between successive teeth on the rack is 12 mm.
01. Observe the measurements to be used for positioning the foundation plate, depending on the position chosen for the
motor's installation (Phase 01 - Fig. 5)
02. Excavate a suitably sized foundation hole and arrange one or more tubes for feeding the electrical cables (Phase 02 -
Fig. 5): leave the tubes longer than 40 cm.
03. Pour the concrete, while keeping away the tubes for the cables (Phase 03 - Fig. 5)
04. - Mount the two anchor bolts on the foundation plate using two nuts for every anchor bolt: a normal nut fastened beneath the plate and a self-
locking nut fastened above it (on the side containing the image of the pinion): Phase 04 - Fig. 5
- Place the foundation plate above the concrete, by putting the side with the image of the pinion towards the gate and making sure that the plate
lies parallel to the gate leaf and perfectly level (Phase 04 - Fig. 5)
- Ensure that the tubes for passing the electrical cables come out of the hole on the plate (Phase 04 - Fig. 4)
05. Wait for the concrete to harden (Phase 05 - Fig. 5)
06. When the concrete is sufficiently dry (after a few days), remove the 2 upper nuts and keep them to fasten the gearmotor (Phase 06 - Fig. 5)
07. Fasten the two mechanical stops (not supplied) as shown in Phase 07 - Fig. 5
08. Open the gearmotor's cover Phase 08 - Fig. 5
09. Shorten the tubes for protecting the cable by 20/30 mm and place the gearmotor on the plate (Phase 09 - Fig. 5)
10. Manually release the gearmotor (Phase 10 - Fig. 5)
11. Insert the washers on the pins and screw on the self-locking nuts (provided), without tightening them strongly (Phase 11 - Fig. 4).
the motor and the gate leaf lie perfectly parallel to one another then tighten the nuts strongly
12. Take a 2–3 cm spacer and place it in front of the mechanical stop (Phase 12 - Fig. 5), then manually move the gate towards the mechanical stop
while making it lie on the spacer
13. If necessary, adjust the height of the rack above the pinion of the gearmotor (Phase 13 - Fig. 5). CAUTION! – Leave a 1–2 mm gap between the
rack and pinion (this applies to all parts!), so that the weight of the gate does not bear on the motor
14. Take a 2–3 cm spacer and lace it in front of the mechanical stop (Phase 14 - Fig. 5). Next, manually move the gate towards the mechanical stop
while making it lie on the spacer. When moving the gate, make sure that the rack slides regularly over the pinion
15. Lastly, bring the gate to half its path (with respect to the two limit switches) and manually lock the gearmotor (Phase 15 - Fig. 5).
