The TEHA motorization system can operate a gate with one or two leaves, up to a maximum length of 1.75 m, in the case of light, openwork gates. In the case of semi-open, heavy gates, the size of the leaf should be smaller.
The leaves can be asymmetrical (of different sizes) as long as the largest leaf does not exceed the size limit supported by the operator.
It is not recommended to install this motorization on a solid gate.
The gate must be fitted with a reinforcement point, to which the operator can be attached.
The gate must be stable and balanced (it must not open or close by itself without external action).
The gate must open and close smoothly.
The gate must open towards the interior of the property on both sides.
Its maximum opening angle must not be less than 60°.
The pillar must be large enough to properly accommodate the actuator mounting bracket.
The pillar must not be rounded on the side where the motor mounting bracket will be installed.
The distance B materialized will depend on the distance D (see Table Step 1 Pillar measurement).
The image shows the minimum and maximum distances at which the bracket can be fixed (with D=0 cm and D=15 cm).
The pillar must be clean and dry, and free of any old motorization fixings.
It is imperative to maintain a safe lateral clearance between the open gate and any fixed part of the environment.
The floor must be straight and even. The gate must not rub against the floor.
The drive unit is not compatible with sloping entrances, either upwards or downwards.
The installation of FIXED and PERMANENT floor stops is MANDATORY for opening and closing.
The installation depth of the gate in relation to the inner face of the pillar is important. We call it distance D.
This cannot be less than 0 cm (negative distance) and cannot exceed 15 cm.
This distance determines the distance B at which the bracket is installed on the pillar (see pillar requirements).
If you have the option of adjusting the installation depth of the gate, take care to choose a location that allows you to have a distance B compatible with the width of your pillar.
If the distance D is negative or greater than 15 cm, it will be necessary to modify your abutment.
In the closed position, the gate must be parallel to the rear face of the pillar on which the pillar bracket will be installed.
It is not possible to install the pillar bracket on a perimeter wall perpendicular to the gate.
It is not possible to install the pillar bracket on the same side as the gate hinges.
It is not possible to install the jack on an unreinforced part of the gate.
If the size of your pillars does not allow you to respect distance B, it will not be possible to install the motorization.
A gate motorization system must be installed according to well-defined installation distances, to ensure optimal, safe operation.
If the motors are not installed according to the table below, your actuator may :
– Failure to drive the leaves correctly (small opening angle, obstacles detected by the card, erratic operation, etc.),
– to keep the leaves closed,
– destruction of one or more engine components
– fail to comply with the values defined in standard NF-EN 12453 and cause significant material or physical damage.
Any improper installation resulting in malfunction, destruction or premature wear of the device will not be covered by the warranty.
Avidsen will not provide any technical assistance until the motorization installation has been made compliant.
Mark the location of the holes in the pillar, ensuring that the pillar bracket is fitted horizontally at the end. Use 10 mm lag bolts or any other fastening system suitable for the abutment material.
Please note that the stresses on the mounting bracket will be considerable when the motorization is in operation. We recommend using threaded rods at least 15 cm long. If the pillar is made of metal, we recommend welding or threading through the threaded rods to secure them with self-locking nuts.
If in doubt, consult a professional.
Turn the cylinder over and ensure that the carriage rod is approximately 5 mm from the cylinder’s internal end-of-stroke position. Otherwise, move the cart using a 9V LR61 battery. It is also possible to connect the motors to the electronic board (see connection section) and start the manual mode to power the motors while you adjust the position of the carriage.
Watch out! It is very important to follow this step, otherwise the gate may not open properly. or may not close properly!
