Follow the waste rate line of the graph to get the estimated duty
cycles.
Duty cycles obtained may be compromised if the maintenance plan
is not carefully respected.
Duty cycles are determined on the base of design analysis, project
calculations and tests carried out at factory.
Therefore the duty cycles achieved are a mere estimation.

INSTALLATION

3.1

Introduction

Matrix must be installed by qualified personnel, complying
with law regulations and instructions contained in this manual.
For a proper installation, strictly follow the following
procedure, respecting the below chronological order:
• Prepare a strong basement using ferro concrete.
• Fix the gearmotor to ground.
• Fit the rack and the according limit switches.
• Fit safety devices (sensors, blinker, safety edges ....)
3.2

Preliminary checks

Before proceeding to installation, it is necessary to double check
the good condition of every component and make sure the site is
suitable for installation purposes.
• All components must be integral and suitable to use.
• Make sure the installation site complies with system's dimensions.
• Make sure the concrete basement grants stability and solidity.
• Make sure the area around the system is clear enough to allow
eazy and safe manual operation.
• Make sure gate features are suitable to automate.
• Make sure weight, dimensions and gate features are suitable
to the model you have choosen.
• Make sure cogwheel case doesn't hit against any fixing points
of the gate (as screws, bolts, gate's wheels).
• Make sure the gate area is fitted with ground stops both in
opening and closing.
• Make sure the installation area grants fixing stability and
solidity.
• Make sure the gate is mechanically free of friction.
• Make sure the automation fixing area is compatible with the
dimensions of the ground plate and that there is sufficient space
to carry out manual operation easily and safely.
• Make sure the automation positioning area is not subject to
flooding; possibly install the automation raised from the ground.
• If the system is installed in areas where vehicles transit, it is
advisable to provide adequate protection against accidental
impacts.
• Make sure the electric circuit is connected to a state of the
art safety grounding.
• Make sure the fixing surfaces of the photocells are flat and
allow correct alignment between transmitter and receiver.
