≤70 dB (A) L PA * Indicative cycles considering a 6 m wing and factory settings (default speed of 20 cm/s). ION4B / ION6B allows a maximum speed of 30 cm/s (configurable). A cycle is considered an opening followed by a closing.
3. Operating instructions Use: For single-family/multi-family or commercial entrances with heavy driveway or pedestrian use� - The class of service, usage times and number of consecutive cycles are suggestions. They are statistically measured under average usage conditions and cannot be certain for every single case. - For each automatic entrance, there are variables such as friction, balancing and environmental conditions that can substantially change the operating life and quality of the automatic entrance or some of its components (including the automated mechanisms).
Ref� Code Description Cable 1 Ditec ION4B - ION6B Actuator ION with LCU50DC control panel 3G x 1.5 mm² Connect the power supply to a type-approved omnipolar switch, with a contact opening distance of at least 3mm (not supplied). See chapter 6.
7. Main components Ref� Descripción Motor Control panel Key release Pinion Cable inlet Power supply terminal and fuse Power supply Anchorage base 7.1 Manual release label In case of failure or power failure, insert and turn the key clockwise, open the door fully. Manually open the gate.
8. Installation The given operating and performance features can only be guaranteed with the use of DITEC accessories and safety devices. Unless otherwise specified, all measurements are expressed in mm. 8.1 Preliminary checks Check the stability of the wing (derailing and lateral falls) and the sliding wheels and that the upper guides do not cause any friction.
8.2 Base plate position Make a concrete base with the anchor ties and base plate embedded, which must be level and clean and of the size indicated in the figure. NOTE: if the concrete base has already been made, base plate can be fixed using M8 plugs (not supplied).
8.3 Gearmotor installation - Release the gearmotor [1] (see OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS). - Loosen the front screw [2] and remove the casing by pressing on its sides [3-4]. NOTE: during the vertical adjustment, keep the gearmotor slightly raised from the base plate so that the rack can be fixed and sub- sequent adjustments are possible.
Manually check that the gate slides evenly and without friction. 8.5 Operation with virtual encoder ION4B-ION6B gearmotors do not require limit switches because they have a virtual encoder. Mechanical opening and closing end stops must be installed. The gate automatically slows when approaching the end stops.
8.6 Installation of optional accessories 8.6.1 Magnetic limit switches (ref. NES100FCM) NOTE: The limit switch kit is used to stop the gate before it reaches the opening and closing mechanical stops. With a limit switch installed, slowdown is carried out at regulated power to overcome possible friction.

9. Electrical connections Before connecting the power supply, make sure that the data on the plate correspond to the electricity distribution network data. Provide an omnipolar switch/disconnector on the power network with a contact opening distance of 3 mm or more. Check that there is a suitable residual-current device and surge protector upstream of the electrical system.
