2. Информации за безбедност
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in serious injury or death, and damage to property.
- Инсталацијата и одржувањето мора да ги врши само квалификуван персонал.
- Ensure all power is disconnected before performing any service or maintenance.
- Keep hands, feet, and clothing clear of the gate and operator during operation.
- Не дозволувајте децата да си играат во близина на портата или да ги ракуваат контролите.
- Install safety devices such as photocells and safety edges as required by local regulations.
- The gate must be properly balanced and in good working condition before operator installation.
3. Поставување и инсталација
This section outlines the steps for installing the BFT Icaro Fast slide gate operator. Refer to the detailed wiring diagrams provided in the separate installation guide for electrical connections.
3.1 Отпакување и проверка
Carefully unpack all components and inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
3.2 Монтирање на операторот
- Choose a stable, level mounting surface adjacent to the gate.
- Securely fasten the operator base to the concrete pad or mounting plate using appropriate hardware.
- Ensure the operator is correctly aligned with the gate's movement path.
3.3 Инсталирање на решетката
The gate rack is essential for the operator's movement. Rack is available in nylon or metal material. Each piece of rack is typically 3.3 ft. long. To determine the required number of rack pieces, divide your total gate length by 3.3.
- Attach the rack securely to the gate, ensuring it is level and parallel to the operator's pinion gear.
- Maintain a small clearance (approximately 1-2mm) between the rack and the pinion to allow for smooth operation and thermal expansion.
3.4 Електрични врски
All electrical connections must comply with local electrical codes and standards. The power supply is 120V +-10%, 60Hz single-phase. Connect the main power, safety devices (photocells, safety edges), and control accessories to the LEO D control panel (incorporated) as per the wiring diagram.
3.5 Прилагодување на граничниот прекинувач
The Icaro Fast uses electromechanical limit switches. Adjust these switches to define the gate's fully open and fully closed positions. Refer to the control panel manual for precise adjustment procedures.

4. Упатства за работа
4.1 Основно работење
The gate can be operated using the provided BFT Mitto remotes or other compatible control devices. Pressing the designated button on the remote will initiate the gate's movement (open or close). A second press will typically stop the gate, and a third press will reverse its direction.
4.2 Програмирање на далечинско управување
Refer to the BFT Mitto remote control manual for detailed instructions on programming additional remotes or reprogramming existing ones. This process typically involves accessing the control panel's programming mode.
4.3 Рачно ослободување
In case of power failure or malfunction, the gate can be operated manually. Locate the manual release mechanism (typically a key-operated lever or knob, as seen in Figure 1) on the operator. Insert the key and turn it to disengage the motor, allowing the gate to be moved by hand. Remember to re-engage the motor after manual operation.
5. Одржување
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your BFT Icaro Fast gate operator. Perform these checks periodically:
- Месечно: Inspect the gate for smooth movement, ensuring no obstructions or excessive friction. Check the rack for wear and proper engagement with the pinion.
- Квартално: Clean the operator housing and remove any debris. Check all electrical connections for tightness and signs of corrosion. Test all safety devices (photocells, safety edges) for proper function.
- Годишно: Have a qualified technician inspect the motor, gearbox, and control panel. Lubricate moving parts as recommended by BFT (refer to the full technical manual for specific lubrication points and types).
CAUTION: Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance or cleaning.
