HOW TO INSTALL AN AUTOMATIC STEP-BY-STEP DOOR

Before we go into describing step by step the typical installation of an automatic doormotor, let’s look at the tools we will need:

• Fixed key
• drill
• level
• Small flat screwdriver.

Now let’s look at a step-by-step installation of a typical installation of an automatic slide door:

Let’s start by establishing an electrical pre-installation. This is essential to obtain the energy that the system requires. Next, we place the cables: We will find two of 4 x 0.25 mm square (they go to the sides) and one of 3 x 1.5 mm square that is the one that receives the power supply.

We continue with the installation of the base, at a prudent distance from the door, which can be 4 to 5 cm. We must fix the base very firmly, so we will use a drill, with bits of at least 10 mm.

Let’s continue, introducing the cables that we place in the first step, through a hole that has the base in its lower part, as well as by the base that the engine has to fix it to the metal base.

Before proceeding to place the zipper, it is necessary to unlock the engine. To do this, we insert the key into a lock that is arranged for this purpose on the front of the engine,we turn it and the window will open

At this point in the installation, the door must be closed. If so, we can already place a first piece of the zipper, at the end of the cancel.

Making sure it’s level is very easy to make use of the level we had from the beginning. We leave a space of approximately two millimeters between the zipper and the pine nuts.

Once we have placed the zipper, we must check that the cancel opens and closes easily, without any difficulty. Another important point is to make sure that at the end of the spring, it does not have contact with the zipper. If so, it is very likely that the cancellation will stop anywhere on the route.

Now we can put the final anchor of the engine. We install the end-of-race stops, at both ends, so that when the cancellation reaches any one of them, the system is operated and the electric current is cut off, causing the engine to stop.

We lock the engine again, close the window by turning the key and the installation will be finished.
