Prerequisites for installation

Stop blocks on the ground

Electrical pre-equipment The gate travel must be defined by end stops firmly fixed in the ground. Closing end stop Opening end stop Gate Concrete base Cable feed Cables required

• Power supply: 3 x 1.5 mm² cable or 3 x 2.5 mm² for outdoor use (type H07RN-F minimum)

• Linking of cells: 2 x 0.75 mm² cable

• Other accessories: see page 6 Provision must be made for the supply cable to be fed through according to the electrical standards in force in the country of use. If a cable conduit cannot be made, use a cable grommet which will withstand the passage of vehicles (ref. 2400484). Cable feed

• Underground cables must be equipped with a protective sheath with a sufficient diameter to contain all the cables.

• Fit a 230 V electrical input as close as possible to the motor.6 EN - FREEVIA LINE installation and operating guide - SOMFY

Cables required The wiring details are provided in the "ACCESSORIES WIRING" section on pages 18 to 21. To connect several accessories to the START terminal, a wire with a 0.3mm² cross section may be used (example: telephone cable) instead of wire with a cross section of 0.75mm².

Concrete base Crémaillère250 mm mini200 mm mini Gate Gate Base Base Cable feed Rack The concrete base on which the motor will be installed must comply with the dimensions indicated on the diagram below.8 EN - FREEVIA LINE installation and operating guide - SOMFY

Screws etc. required for installation of the rack and pinion (not provided) This information is provided for information purposes. Screws etc. required Tools required Drilling diameter IRON OR ALUMINIUM GATE Self-drilling hex-head screw for metal of type ST 6.3 x 30mm + washer Socket wrench no.10 5 mm with a drill for steel PVC GATE PVC is tool fragile to fasten the rack and pinion directly. PVC gates generally have an aluminium or metallic brace or a steel core (see the line above). If a PVC gate does not have a brace: fasten a metallic brace to the gate where the rack and pinion will be fastened. WOODEN GATE Wood screws, diameter 6 x 40mm minimum + washer Socket wrench no.10 Make a starter hole with a wood drill, diameter 2.5mm or wood auger.

Tools require for installation (not provided)

Fastening the motor to the ground

on the ground and drill 4 holes using a drill bit (Ø 12mm) suitable for the type of ground.

• Insert the plugs. Tighten the studs.

• Tighten 4 nuts and 4washers.

• Remove the motor cover.

• Position the motor on the studs: ensure that the bracket (base of the motor) is no more than 25mm above the ground. The recommended space is between 20 and 25mm.

• Once the motor is positioned at the right height in relation to the ground, fix it in place using the 4 washers and 4 nuts.

• Position the pre-drilled grommet in the opening provided for the cable feed. Position the motor's handle The pinion is freed. The motor is unlocked. 17 T25

Check that the motor is level. INSTALLATION 1 EN10

Installation EN - FREEVIA LINE installation and operating guide - SOMFY Fastening the rack and pinion

• The rack and pinion must be fastened to the gate brace.

• Use suitable screws for the material of your gate (see page 8).

• Never lubricate the motor rack and pinion. Rack fastening mark

• Open the gate completely.

• Use the pencil provided to mark the position of the rack. If the pencil makes a mark above the brace, the rack provided us not suitable for your gate. A low-fastening rack (ref. 2401294) must be used. Please contact Somfy.

• With one hand, hold the pencil in the notches provided on the motor and with the other hand, slide the gate to mark the fastening height of the rack.

• Position the rack by aligning the top of the rack with the line drawn in pencil.

• Fasten the first element of the rack at the top of the oblong holes, beginning at the le-hand side of the gate.

• Install and fasten the other items in the same way, interlocking them with the others.

• By aligning the top of the rack with the line drawn in pencil, the required 2 mm clearance between the rack and pinion is obtained.

• If the fastening points are too close to the edge of the brace: fasten the rack at the centre of the oblong holes.11 Installation

Never lock the motor when the gate is moving as this may damage the motorisation Push the motor handle towards the gate. The motor is locked. Check that:

• the gate runs correctly,

• the pinion is correctly driven.

• the 2 mm clearance between the rack and pinion does not vary significantly . If these conditions are not satisfied, adjust the height of the rack. Once all these checks have been completed, tighten the nuts to fasten the motor permanently.

1.3 Checking the installation of the motor12

Commissioning and standard use

EN - FREEVIA LINE installation and operating guide - SOMFY If an obstacle is detected (abnormal force on the motorisation):

• When the gate is opening: the gate will stop.

• When the gate is closing: the gate will stop and reopen.

2.6 Fully opening and closing the gate

2.7 Obstacle detection

• Gate closed: press button 1 on the remote control to open the gate to the full.

• Gate moving: press button 1 on the remote control to stop the gate.

• Gate open: press button 1 on the remote control to close the gate. The remote controls supplied with the kit are already memorised and programmed so that button 1 on the remote controls activates full opening of the gate. Button 118 EN - FREEVIA LINE installation and operating guide - SOMFY

For your safety, these operations must be carried out with the power supply switched off.It is not possible to connect a second set of photoelectric cells on this motorisation.

Installation Aer wiring the photoelectric cells: • switch the motor on again, • start a gate opening or closing procedure.The photoelectric cells are recognised by the control electronics once this movement is complete.

Operation with photoelectric cells If the cells are blocked when closing the gate, the gate will stop and reopen. If the gate is open and the cells are blocked, the gate will not close.

In the event of photoelectric cell disconnection Aer disconnection of the photoelectric cells, switch the motor on again then perform the procedure “Deactivating automatic closing”on page 24.You are advised to perform auto-programming of the gate travel before connecting the accessories (photoelectric cells, flashing light, etc.)

Operation of the flashing light The light flashes while the gate is moving. This accessory is not compatible with solar power.

3.3 Battery (optional)

Battery specifications:

• Battery life: 10 continuous cycles or 24 hours on a gate in perfect condition.

• Optimum charge time before using the battery: 48 hours

• Service life: 3 years. The backup battery ensures the operation of the gate in the event of an electrical power failure. The indicator light flashes (1 pulse) when the motor is battery-operated. To increase the operation time of the battery during use, the wired controls are deactivated and the gate can only be controlled using the remote controls and the radio control points. To optimise the service life of the battery, cut the electrical power to the gate at least 3 times a year and run a few cycles using the battery.20
