9. REVERSING THE OPENING DIRECTION
The opening direction of the barrier is usually determined at the time
of installation with the installation of the spring guide, the spring and
the preload adjustment ring nut on the piston located on the beam
downward travel side.
Should it be necessary to change the opening direction, proceed as
follows:
•
Release the operator, as shown in paragraph 6, and place the
beam in vertical position, then lock the operator again.
•
Remove the beam as shown in Fig. 17.
•
Remove the device securing the plunging piston to the rocker
arm, as shown in Fig. 13.
•
Loosen the pre-load ring nut completely, remove it and then
remove the balancing spring and spring guide, reversing the
order described in paragraph 4.4 and in Fig. 14 regarding the
mechanical installation of the automated system.
•
Refit the plunging piston in the correct fixing hole.
•
Proceed to remove the fixing screw on the piston on the opposite
side.
•
Release the automated system, turn the rocker arm 90° and re-
insert, in order, the spring guide, the balancing spring and the
the ring nut in the plunging piston installed on the new closing
side, according to the order described in Fig. 14. Once this is
done, refit the plunging piston on the rocker arm.
•
Reinstall the bar following the instructions in Fig. 17.
•
Balance the system once again following the procedure described
in paragraphs 4.5 and 4.6.
•
Lock the operator once again following the instructions in
paragraph 7
•
Reverse the motor cable connection as shown in point
of Fig. 14
10. ACCESSORIES
10.1 Installing a photocell
The barrier is equipped with a lateral covering profile (fitted in the
compartment opening) under which there are holes for containing
Safebeam, BUS or wireless photocells.
To install the photocells, proceed as follows:
1.
Remove the barrier compartment.
2.
Match the holes on the barrier compartment with the holes on
the corresponding aluminium covering profile on the photocell
installation side; ref.
is used to fix the device, ref.
for the passage of the its power cable. Determine the hole size
according to the size of the cables and of the fixing screws used.
3.
Connect the photocell following the provided diagram.
4.
Fix the photocell to the lateral profile, as shown in Fig. 22.
10.2 Installing the bar light kit
Installation of an LED bar light kit increases visibility of the bar.
Proceed to install following the instructions contained in Fig. 31 and
securing the connection cable according to the path shown, using the
openings for inserting the tie straps, located on the upright.
Connect the kit to output Out 4 on the electronic board and configure
it according to the available switching on modes (refer to the section
regarding the electronic board, paragraph 6 on page 12).
Ensure that the two connector jacks are actually in
contact with the conductors inside the cord. Should
the bar lights still not turn on, reverse the connection
polarity.
10.3 Installation of a receiver antenna
In case a receiver antenna should need to be attached to the barrier,
it can be secured to the flashing integrated traffic light connector (or
to the plastic bracket, if the optional flashing traffic light connector
should not have been installed), as indicated in the diagrams in Fig. 32.
