GENERAL PRECAUTIONS FOR INSTALLERS
Important safety instructions.
Please follow all of these instructions. Improper installation may cause serious bodily harm.
Before continuing, please also read the general precautions for users.
Only use this product for its intended purpose. Any other use is hazardous. • The manufacturer cannot be held liable for
any damage caused by improper, unreasonable or erroneous use. • This product is defined by the Machinery Directive
(2006/42/EC) as partly completed machinery. • Partly completed machinery means an assembly which is almost
machinery but which cannot in itself perform a specific application. • Partly completed machinery is only intended to
be incorporated into or assembled with other machinery or other partly completed machinery or equipment thereby
forming machinery to which the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) applies. • The final installation must comply with
the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) and the European reference standards in force. • The manufacturer declines any
liability for using non-original products, which would also void the warranty. • All operations indicated in this manual must
be carried out exclusively by skilled and qualified personnel and in full compliance with the regulations in force. • The
device must be installed, wired, connected and tested according to good professional practice, in compliance with the
standards and laws in force. • Make sure the mains power supply is disconnected during all installation procedures. •
Check that the temperature ranges given are suitable for the installation site. • Do not install on slopes i.e. any surfaces
that are not perfectly level. • Do not install the operator on surfaces that could yield and bend. If necessary, add suitable
reinforcements to the anchoring points. • Make sure that no direct jets of water can wet the product at the installation
site (sprinklers, water cleaners, etc.). • Make sure you have set up a suitable dual-pole cut-off device along the power
supply that is compliant with the installation rules. It should completely cut off the power supply according to category III
surcharge conditions. • Demarcate the entire site properly to prevent unauthorised personnel from entering, especially
minors. • In case of manual handling, have one person for every 20 kg that needs hoisting; for non-manual handling,
use proper hoisting equipment in safe conditions. • Use suitable protection to prevent any mechanical hazards due to
persons loitering within the operating range of the operator. • The electrical cables must pass through special pipes, ducts
and cable glands in order to guarantee adequate protection against mechanical damage. • The electrical cables must
not touch any parts that may overheat during use (such as the motor and transformer). • Before installation, check that
the guided part is in good mechanical condition, and that it opens and closes correctly. • The product cannot be used
to automate any guided part that includes a pedestrian gate, unless it can only be enabled when the pedestrian gate is
secured. • Make sure that nobody can become trapped between the guided and fixed parts, when the guided part is set
in motion. • Use additional protection to prevent your fingers from being crushed between the pinion and rack. • All fixed
controls must be clearly visible after installation, in a position that allows the guided part to be directly visible, but far away
from moving parts. In the case of a hold-to-run control, this must be installed at a minimum height of 1.5 m from the
ground and must not be accessible to the public. • If not already present, apply a permanent tag that describes how to use
the manual release mechanism close to it. • Make sure that the operator has been properly adjusted and that the safety
and protection devices and the manual release are working properly. • Before handing over to the final user, check that
the system complies with the harmonised standards and the essential requirements of the Machinery Directive (2006/42/
EC). • Any residual risks must be indicated clearly with proper signage affixed in visible areas, and explained to end users.
• Put the machine’s ID plate in a visible place when the installation is complete. • If the power-supply cable is damaged,
it must be immediately replaced by the manufacturer or by an authorised technical assistance centre, or in any case, by
qualified staff, to prevent any risk. • Keep this manual inside the technical folder along with the manuals of all the other
devices used for your automation system. • Make sure to hand over to the end user all the operating manuals of the
products that make up the final machinery.
