Configuration et installation

Installation of the BFT PHOBOS BT KIT A25 requires careful attention to mechanical mounting and electrical wiring. It is highly recommended that installation be carried out by a professional installer.

Installation mécanique

1. Mounting the Operators: Securely attach the two electromechanical operators to the gate posts and gate leaves using appropriate brackets and fasteners. Ensure correct alignment for smooth gate movement.
2. Photocell Placement: Install the safety photocells at a suitable height and position to detect obstacles in the gate's path. Ensure they are aligned correctly.
3. Lumière d'alarme: Mount the warning light in a visible location to indicate gate movement.

Connexions électriques

1. Alimentation: Connect the main power supply to the control unit, ensuring it is a 24V supply as specified.
2. Connexions moteur : Connect the motor cables from each operator to the designated terminals on the control unit.
3. Connexions d'accessoires : Wire the photocells, warning light, and any other accessories (e.g., key switch, intercom) to the control unit according to the wiring diagram provided in the detailed product manual (not included here).
4. Mise à la terre : Ensure all components are properly grounded to prevent electrical hazards.

Programmation initiale

After mechanical and electrical installation, the control unit will require initial programming to set gate travel limits, operating speeds, and safety features. Refer to the specific programming instructions provided with the control unit for detailed steps.

Mode d'emploi

Fonctionnement de la télécommande

The gate can be operated using the provided remote controls. Pressing a programmed button on the remote will initiate the gate's movement (open/close cycle). A second press typically stops the gate, and a third press reverses its direction.

Commande manuelle

In case of power failure or system malfunction, the gate can be operated manually using the key release mechanism. Insert the key into the lock on the operator and turn it to disengage the motor, allowing the gate to be moved by hand.

CAUTION: Always ensure the gate area is clear before operating, especially during manual override.

Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your BFT gate opener system.

• Inspection mensuelle : Check the gate's movement for any unusual noises or resistance. Ensure all mounting bolts are tight.
• Photocell Cleaning: Keep the photocell lenses clean and free from dirt, dust, or spiderwebs to ensure proper function.
• Lubrification: Periodically lubricate moving parts of the gate hinges and operator mechanism as recommended by the detailed product manual.
• Vérification électrique : Annually, have a qualified technician inspect electrical connections and system performance.

Dépannage

For complex issues or if the problem persists, contact a qualified BFT service technician.
