Preliminary operations
■ Points to be checked before installing
●Checking your gateCheck that your gate is in good condition:it opens and closes properly with no needfor force. It remains horizontal as it opensand closes. For a gate with bars that aremore than 50 mm apart, we recommendthe installation of steel mesh (size 40 x 40mm) for the full length of the gate. This willavoid any parts of the body being crushed(see reference ‘C’ opposite).
●Types of gates able to be motorisedYour SLD can be adapted to fit all types of sliding gates (PVC, timber, metal, etc.).
●Presence of gate stopsThe gate must be stopped by gate stops fixed securely to the ground so that the exactlength of opening and closing is clearly identified.

■ Electrical pre-wiring To motorise your gate:• Run a 230V electrical supply as close as possible to the location of the motor.• If photo-electric cells are being used, connect the two ends of the gate frame with a 2 x
0.75 mm2 cable.Provide a 25 mm diameter Orange ICT duct where the cables are run underground.If it is not possible to dig a trench, use a cable duct that can withstand the passage of vehi-cles (ref. 2400484).
• Provide a conduit link between the two gate posts for wiring the cells.
● Mains powerTo operate, the gate opener must be powered at 230 V, 50 Hz.The electrical wire must be:• Used only for the gate opener• Protected: - by a 10-A fuse or circuit breaker,
- by a differential device (30 mA).• Installed in compliance with electrical safety standards in force locally.
An all-pole power disconnection means must be provided:• either a supply cable with an electrical plug;• or a switch which keeps the contacts at least 3 mm apart
at each pole (see standard EN 60335-1).It is recommended to install a lightning arrestor (with a maximum residual voltage of 2 kV).
● Photocells (as an option)The photocells are necessary for automatic-mode operation and for gates opening onto thepublic highway. • Wiring the photocells (see page 24).
The 24-V input and information received from the contacts (receiving cell) must be underthe cells.Drill both ends of the gate frame to run the conduits.
• Locations of the cells (see page 24).
