CHECKING INSTALLATION
Before the automated device is finally put into operation, perform the following checks meticulously:
•
Make sure all components are fastened securely.
•
Check that all safety devices (photocells, pneumatic safety edge, etc.) are working properly.
•
Check the emergency operation control device.
•
Check opening and closing operations with the control devices applied.

Check the electronic logic for normal (or personalized) operation in the control panel.
ADJUSTING OPERATING FORCE
WARNING: Operating force is adjusted with extreme precision by means of the control unit s electronic control. Operation at the end of travel is
’
adjusted electronically in the control panel. To provide good anti-crush safety, the operating force must be slightly greater than that required to
move the leaf both to close and to open it.
CONTROL
There are various options when it comes to the control system (manual, remote control, access control with magnetic badge, etc.) depending on
the installation s needs and characteristics. See the relevant instructions for the various control system options. People due to use the
’
automated device must be instructed how to control and use it.
