GATE ARRANGEMENT

Some checks on the gate are required to verify the KITE operator fitting;
Make sure that:

1. the fix and the moving parts of the gate are strong and non-deformable;
2. the length of each leaf does not exceed 5 m

INSTALLATION ON MASONRY PILLARS, MAKING A RECESS

During installation, make sure that the connection cables do not interfere with the recess
NOTES

1. dimensions in mm
2. In case you need to make a recess, observe the shown dimensions

CONNECTIONS

make connections only after installation is complete and when the power supply is OFF

PRELIMINARY NOTES

1. For the correct operation it is very important to position both the operator and its front and rear fixing brackets, in a perfectly horizontal way, by using a level, as shown in Fig. 14
   
2. Before mounting operator on the rear and the front brackets, lubricate with water repellent grease
3. The operator must be mounted with the release facing upwards (Fig. 14)

REAR FIXING BRACKET MOUNTING

REAR FIXING BRACKET TO BE SCREWED
If the rear fixing bracket has to be screwed using the holes marked as «A», so the fixing bracket must be cut at a distance of 65 mm from its end (Fig. 15). It is not necessary to cut the bracket if using other holes

The support must be positioned so that the operator is in a perfect horizontal position (see Fig.14)

To avoid the oscillation of the operator during the operating phase, it is recommended to adjust the nut (1) (Fig. 16) taking care to not block the rotation of the operator on the fixing bracket

once the rear bracket has been fixed, immediately fix the front bracket, always keeping the operator in a horizontal position. Do not leave the front of the operator detached because it would fall down causing damage

PRELIMINARY NOTES

1. According to the gate type (wood, iron, aluminium) the front bracket can be welded or screwed
2. Before mounting the rear and the front fixing brackets, lubricate with water repellent grease
3. The operator must be mounted with the release facing upwards (Fig. 14)

FRONT FIXING BRACKET MOUNTING

SCREWED FRONT FIXING BRACKET
Once the operator has been mounted on the rear fixing bracket, close the leaf and proceed as follows:

1. Release the operator keeping it always in a horizontal position
2. Screw the front fixing bracket onto the gate in correspondence of the holes made respecting the dimensions as per Fig. 18 and Fig. 19
   
3. Insert the bracket into the housing pin on the operator (Fig. 20) and tighten the «A» screw to max 8.5 Nm
   

Lubricate the pin with grease before installing the front fixing bracket on the operator

WELDED FRONT FIXING BRACKET
Once the operator has been mounted on the rear fixing bracket, close the leaf and proceed as follows:

1. Release the operator keeping it always in a horizontal position
2. Weld the front fixing bracket on the gate operating on the points indicated by the arrows
   
3. Insert the bracket into the housing pin on the operator (Fig. 20) and tighten the «A» screw to max 8.5 Nm

Lubricate the pin with grease before installing the front fixing bracket on the operator

MAGNETIC LIMIT SWITCHES

TO THE ATTENTION OF THE TECHNICIAN AND THE END-USER

INTERNAL METAL RELEASE SYSTEM

TO RELEASE THE OPERATOR:

1. Turn counter-clockwise the lock protection cover
   
2. Insert the key and turn of about 90° clockwise
   
3. Turn the handle counter-clockwise to release the operator
   

TO LOCK THE OPERATOR:

1. Turn the handle clockwise to revert it to the initial position
2. Turn the key about 90° counterclockwise
   
3. After having relocked the operator, close the lock protection cover to prevent damages due to atmospheric agents

NOTE: for a proper operation of the manual release it is recommended to observe the current regulations regarding the thrust force

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

ALL OPERATIONS MUST BE MADE EXCLUSIVELY BY AN AUTHORIZED INSTALLER AND WHEN POWER SUPPLY IS OFF

AFTER THE PERIODICAL MAINTENANCE OPERATIONS IT IS NECESSARY TO REPEAT THE TEST OF THE AUTOMATION AND ITS COMMISSIONING

RISK EXAMINATION

The points pointed by arrows in Fig. 26 are potentially dangerous. The installer must take a thorough risk examination to prevent crushing, conveying, cutting, grappling, trapping so as to guarantee a safe installation for people, things and animals (Re. Laws in force in the Country where installation has been made). As for misunderstandings that may arise refer to your area distributor or call our help desk. These instructions are part of the device and must be kept in a well known place. The installer shall follow the provided instructions thoroughly. SEA products must only be used to automate doors, gates and wings. Any initiative taken without SEA explicit authorization will preserve the manufacturer from whatsoever responsibility. The installer shall provide warning notices on not assessable further risks. SEA in its relentless aim to improve the products, is allowed to make whatsoever adjustment without giving notice. This doesn't oblige SEA to upgrade the past production. SEA can not be deemed responsible for any damage or accident caused by product breaking, being damages or accidents due to a failure to comply with the instructions herein. The guarantee will be void and the manufacturer responsibility will be nullified if SEA original spare parts are not being used. The electrical installation shall be carried out by a professional technician who will release documentation as requested by the laws in force. Packaging materials such as plastic bags, foam polystyrene, nails etc must be kept out of children's reach as dangers may arise.

INITIAL TEST AND STARTING OF THE AUTOMATION: After having completed the necessary operations for a correct installation of the product and after having evaluated all the risks which could arise in any installation, it is necessary to test the automation to guarantee the maximum security and, in particular, to guarantee that the laws in force are fully respected. The first Start must be executed according to the rule EN 12445 which establishes the methods of tests for checking the gate automation respecting the limits established by the rule EN 12453.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: All electrical work should comply with the current regulations. A 16A/0,030 differential switch must be used. Separate the source cables (operators, power supply) and command cables (photocells, push-buttons, etc). Be sure the entire system is properly earth bonded. Always run cables in separate ducts to prevent interferences.

INTENDED USE: The operator has been designed to be used for the automation of swing gates only.
