4. INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS

4.1 MECHANICAL REQUIREMENTS

The mechanical construction elements must comply with the provi-
sions of Standards EN 12604 and EN 12605.
Before installing the automation, suitability of the mechanical re-
quirements must be verified and any required procedures must be
implemented for this purpose.
The necessary mechanical requirements are:
!
Solid ground to support the weight of the actuator and the leaf.
Flat and horizontal flooring in the leaf movement area.
Set-up of an adequate rainwater draining system from the founda-
tion box.
Perfectly vertical leaf in all positions along the stroke with smooth and
even movement, without friction.
A solid, stable structure (columns, hinges, leaves) and without the risk
of detachment or sagging considering the weight of the leaf, the forces
developed by the actuator and the action of the wind. Perform the
structural calculation if necessary.
Adequate fall protection devices for the leaf.
No signs of corrosion or cracks in the structure.
Hinges in good condition, lubricated, with no play or friction.
External mechanical opening and closing stops to limit the leaf
stroke. The stops must be adequately sized and firmly secured to
withstand the impact of the leaf. The external mechanical stops are not
required when using positive stops. The limits of use of the positive
stops in relation to the length and weight of the leaf are described in
detail in  Limits of use of the positive stops.
The thresholds and elements extending out from the floor must be ad-
equately shaped or marked to eliminate the risk of tripping or slipping.
Safety clearance between the wall (or other fixed element) and the
most prominent part of the open leaf, adequate to protect against
the risk of crushing/trapping people. Alternatively, check that the
opening force is within the limits allowed by the current regulation.
Safety clearances between the fixed and mobile parts, adequate to
protect against the risk of crushing hands.
protections that prevent inserting one's fingers.
Safety clearance between the floor and the bottom edge of the leaf
along its entire stroke, suitable to protect against the risk of dragging
a person's feet. Alternatively, apply protections that prevent insert-
ing one's foot.
No sharp edges and protruding parts, to avoid the risk of cutting and
hooking. Alternatively, eliminate or adequately protect the sharp
edges and protruding parts.
Installing S800 ENC only requires the presence of the upper hinge of
the leaf since the lower rotation fulcrum is provided by the foundation
box. If an existing gate is automated, it must be dismantled and the
lower hinge removed before installing the actuator.
Refer to the EN 349 standard for the definition of the minimum spaces,
to prevent crushing body parts.
Refer to standard EN ISO 13857 for the definition of the safety distances
to prevent the danger zones from being reached.
The dimensions and positioning of the foundation box are indicated
in  5.
