These operators, in addition to having different features and technical specifications, also differ as to the following components: motor (larger in the C721), transformer (larger in the C721), pinion (different materials), release lever (different colours). These assembly instructions apply to both models, unless otherwise specified.
Fig. 3 » » The dimensions and electrical preparations (standard system) are the same for operator C720 and for operator C721 5 INSTALLATION OF AUTOMATED SYSTEM 5.1 PRELIMINARY CHECKS To ensure safety and an efficiently operating automated system, make sure the following conditions are observed: •...
5.2 MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLATE Dimensions in mm Assemble the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 4. The foundation plate must be located as shown in Fig. 5 (right closing) or Fig. 6 (left closing) to ensure the rack and pinion mesh correctly.
5.3 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION Remove the cover casing by loosening the two suitable side bolts and lifting it (Fig. 8). Position the operator on the foundation plate using the nuts and washers provided as shown in Fig. 9. During this operation, pass the cables though openings in the motor casing (see Fig.

Important notes on rack installation: 6 OPERATIONAL START-UP Make sure that, during the gate travel, all the 6.1 ELECTRONIC BOARD CONNECTION rack elements do not exit the pinion. Before attempting any work on the control board (connections, programming, mainte- Do not, on any account, weld the rack elements nance), always turn off power.
6.2 POSITIONING OF LIMIT SWITCHES To ensure correct positioning of the limit switch magnets, the control unit must be installed and correctly con- nected with all control and safety accessories . The operator is equipped with a magnetic limit switch sensor built directly into the electronic control board. The gate is stopped, during opening or closure, at the moment when the polarised magnet secured to the upper part of the rack activates the sensor.
Proceed as follows to lock the gearmotor: 9 MAINTENANCE Fully raise the release lever to the mechanical stop, Fig. 22 It is advisable to check the efficiency of the system at least every 6 months, particularly the efficiency of the safety devices Turn the release anticlockwise as shown in Fig.
