PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE
SPIN is a range of gearmotors designed for automating sectional doors and – in combination with accessory SPA5 (supplied separately) – pro-
truding or non-protruding spring or counterweight overhead doors.
SPIN operates using electric power. In the event of a power failure, the gearmotor can be released in order to move the door manually.
WARNING! – Any use other than that specied herein or in environmental conditions other than those stated in this manual is
to be considered improper and is strictly forbidden!

APPLICATION LIMITS
The data relative to the performances of SPIN range products appear in Chapter 13 (“Technical specications”) and are the only values that allow
for determining whether the products are suitable for the intended application.
The structural characteristics of the SPIN products make them suitable for use on sectional and overhead doors within the limits shown in Tables
2, 3 and 4.

The measurements shown in Table 2 are purely indicative and are used for a general estimate only. The actual suitability of SPIN for automating
a specic door depends on the degree of door leaf balancing, guide friction and other aspects, including occasional circumstances such as wind
pressure or the presence of ice, which could obstruct the door’s movement.
To determine the actual conditions, the force required to move the leaf throughout its path must be measured, to ensure that this value does not
exceed the “rated torque” specied in Chapter 13 (“Technical specications”); moreover, to calculate the number of cycles/hour and consecutive
cycles, it is important to consider the data shown in Tables 3 and 4.

The height of the door allows for calculating the maximum number of cycles per hour and consecutive cycles, while the force required to move
the door allows for determining the cycle reduction percentage; for example, for a leaf that is 2.2 m high 12 cycles/hour and 6 consecutive
cycles can be completed, but if a force of 250 N is required, these gures would have to be reduced to 70%, that is, 8 cycles/hour and roughly
4 consecutive cycles.
To avoid overheating, the control unit has a limiter that operates on the basis of the motor’s effort and duration of the cycles, and intervenes
when the maximum limit is exceeded.
Note: 1 kg = 9.81 N (example: 500 N = 51 kg)
