3.5. INSTALLING AND ADJUSTING THE BALANCING
SPRING
To operate correctly, the automated system must be equipped with one
or two balancing springs that must be ordered separately according
to the automated system model, to the rod type and to any selected
accessories.
To install and adjust the spring, follow the instructions below:
Move the beam into vertical position and prepare the automated

3.6. ADJUSTING THE MECHANICAL STOPS
Two mechanical stops are provided on the upper part of the upright, Fig.
21 ref. and .
To adjust the position of the stops, operate as follows:
Manually move the rod into closing position.
Using the screw, move the rod into horizontal position.
Move the rod into vertical position and do the same for the other
mechanical stop.
We recommend you to grease both mechanical stops periodical-
ly.
3.7. ADJUSTING THE TRAVEL LIMIT DEVICES
Two travel limit devices are located on the automated system to identify
the rod position, open or closed, Fig. 22.
The automated system is supplied with travel limit devices
already prepared for a left hand installation of the beam.
To adjust the cam position, operate as follows:
Manually move the rod into closing position.
, until the travel limit device engages.
Slightly advance the cam.
The travel limit device must operate before the mechanical
stop.
Block the cam position tightening the relevant screw.
Move the rod into opening position.
, until the travel limit device engages.
Slightly advance the cam.
The travel limit device must operate before the mechanical
stop.
Block the cam position tightening the relevant screw.
In the event of right hand installations, reverse the wires of the
travel limit devices connected to the unit, see control board
instructions.
Block the automated system again as indicated in paragraph 8.
