C720-C721 / E-SL1800
We thank you for choosing our products. We are certain that they will fully meet your needs with respect to the performance that have been
designed for.
These products have been designed and built to control vehicle access. AVOID ANY DIFFERENT USE.
Read this manual provided with the product carefully because it provides important information on safety,
installation, use and maintenance.
1 GENERAL REMARKS
These instructions apply to the following models:
C720 - C721 / E-SL 1800
The above-mentioned models are electromechanical operators designed for sliding gates with different features and technical
specifications.
A practical and functional mechanical lock that acts directly on the motor ensures the gate is locked when the operator is not
working and, therefore, no electric lock needs to be installed.
A convenient manual release device allows the gate to be maneuvered in the event of a power cut, if emergency batteries are
not installed or if the operator is not in service.
These operators, in addition to having different features and technical specifications, also differ as to the following compo-
nents: motor (larger in the C721), transformer (larger in the C721), pinion (different materials), release lever (different colors).
These assembly instructions apply to both models, unless otherwise specified.

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:
The gate structure must be suitable for automation. The following are necessary in particular: wheel diameter must be in pro-
portion to the weight of the gate to be automated, an upper guide must be provided, plus mechanical limit switches to pre-
vent the gate derailing.
The gate slide track must be linear and horizontal.
Manual movement of the gate must be easy throughout its travel.
The soil must permit sufficient stability for the foundation plinth.
There must be no pipes or electric cables in the plinth excavation area.
If the gearmotor is exposed to passing vehicles, install, if possible, adequate means of protection against accidental impact.
Check if an efficient earthing is available for connection to the gearmotor.
If the elements checked do not meet the above requirements, arrange to ensure their compliance

5.2 MASONRY FOR FOUNDATION PLATE
1. Assemble the foundation plate as shown in Fig. 4.
2. The foundation plate must be located as shown in
Fig. 5 (right closing) or Fig. 6 (left closing) to en-
sure the rack and pinion mesh correctly.
3. Prepare a foundation plinth as shown in Fig. 7 and wall in the founda-
tion plate, supplying one or more sheaths for routing electric cables
through the hole in the foundation plate.
Using a spirit level, check if the plate is perfectly level.
Wait for the cement to set.
4. Lay the electric cables for connection to the accessories and power
supply as shown in Fig. 3.
To facilitate the connections in the control unit, pull out the
leads by at least 30 cm from the hole on the plate.

ment, positioning them at the top of the slot. In this
way, the slot play will enable any adjustments to be
made.
2. Manually take the leaf into its closing position.
3. Lay the first piece of rack level on the pinion and
weld the threaded pawl on the gate as shown in
Fig. 14.
4. Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is
resting on the pinion, and weld the second and third
pawls.
5. Bring another rack element near to the previous
one, using a piece of rack (as shown in Fig. 15), to
synchronize the teeth of the two elements.
6. Move the gate manually and weld the three thread-
ed pawls, thus proceeding until the gate is fully cov-
5.4.2 STEEL RACK TO SCREW (Fig. 12)
1. Manually take the leaf into its closing position.
2. Lay the first piece of rack level on the pinion and place the
spacer between the rack and the gate, positioning it at the top
of the slot. In this way, the slot play will enable any adjustments
to be made.
3. Mark the drilling point on the gate. Drill a 1/4 in. hole and apply
thread with a 3/8 in. male tap. Screw the bolt.
4. Move the gate manually, checking if the rack is resting on the
pinion, and repeat the operations at point 3.
5. Bring another rack element near to the previous one, using a
piece of rack (as shown in figure 15) to synchronize the teeth of
the two elements.

Important notes on rack installation:
Make sure that, during the gate travel, all the rack
elements do not exit the pinion.
Do not, on any account, weld the rack elements ei-
ther to the spacers or to each other.
When the rack has been installed, to ensure it mesh-
es correctly with the pinion, we advise you to lower
the gearmotor position by about 1/16 - 1/8 in. by ad-
justing the nuts (Fig.16 re. 1).
Do not use grease or other lubricants between rack
and pinion (Fig. 16)
Manually check if the gate regularly reaches the me-
chanical limit switches and make sure there is no
friction during gate travel.
6 OPERATIONAL START-UP
6.1 ELECTRONIC BOARD CONNECTION
Before attempting any work on the control
board (connections, programming, mainte-
nance), always turn off power.
Observe points 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 of the
GENERAL SAFETY OBLIGATIONS.
Follow the instructions in Fig. 3 to arrange
the cables in the ducts and make the electrical connections
with the selected accessories.
Always separate power cables from control and safety ca-
bles (push-button, receiver, photocells, etc.).
Use separate sheaths in order to avoid any electrical inter-
ference.
Fig. 17 refers to operator C720 /E-SL 1800
6.1.2 ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT
The electronic control equipment in the gearmotors is fastened
to a mount (Fig. 18 re. 1) with a clear cover (Fig. 18 re. 2).
The board programming buttons are positioned on the cover
(Fig.18 re. 3) and this makes it possible to program the board
without having to remove the cover.
To connect and program the control unit correctly, ob-
serve the specific instructions.

6.2 POSITIONING OF LIMIT SWITCHES
To ensure correct positioning of the limit switch magnets, the control unit must be installed and correctly connected with all con-
trol 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 polarized magnet secured to the upper part of the rack
activates the sensor.
Assemble both magnets as shown in Fig. 19.
Prepare the operator for manual operating mode as described in chapter 8 and power the system.
To position the limit switch on the rack, refer to the electronic equipment instructions.
To avoid damage to the operator and/or interruptions in the operation of the automated system, approximately 1 5/8 in.
must be left from the mechanical limit switches.
7 TESTING THE AUTOMATED SYSTEM
Once the operator has been installed, carry out a thorough oper-
ational check of all accessories and connected safety devices.
Press-fit the plastic covers of the operator fastening bolts, ensur-
ing that the arrow is facing the gate (Fig. 20 re. 1), insert the cov-
er casing (Fig. 20 re. 2) and fasten it by the two suitable side
bolts (Fig. 20 re. 3).
Give the Customer the "User Guide" and explain the correct oper-
ation and use of the gearmotor, highlighting potential high-risk
areas of the automated system.
8 OPERATOR RELEASE/LOCK
During the release/lock manoeuvre, take care to prevent an in-
voluntary pulse from operating the gate.
Proceed as follows to release the gearmotor:
1. Turn the release clockwise as shown in Fig. 21 re. 1. The release
lever will move slightly away from the operator body (Fig. 21 re.
2)
2. Fully lower the release lever to the mechanical stop Fig. 21 re. 3.
3. Carry out the opening or closing manoeuvre manually.
