GENERAL WARNINGS FOR PEOPLE SAFETY

INTRODUCTION 

This operator is designed for a specific scope of applications as 
indicated in this manual, including safety, control and signaling 
accessories  as  minimum  required  with 

FADINI

  equipment. 

 

Any  applications  not  explicitly  included  in  this  manual  may 
cause  operation  problems  or  damages  to  properties  and 
people. 

  Meccanica  Fadini  snc  is  not  liable  for  damages 

caused  by  the  incorrect  use  of  the  equipment,  or  for 
applications not included in this manual or for malfunctioning 
resulting  from  the  use  of  materials  or  accessories  not 
recommended  by  the  manufacturer. 

  The  manufacturer 

reserves  the  right  to  make  changes  to  its  products  without 
prior notice. 

 All that is not explicitly indicated in this manual

is to be considered not allowed.

BEFORE INSTALLATION

Before commencing operator installation assess the suitability 
of the access, its general condition and the structure. 

 Make 

sure  that  there  is  no  risk  of  impact,  crushing,  shearing, 
conveying,  cutting,  entangling  and  lifting  situations,  which 
may prejudice people safety. 

 Do not install near any source of 

heat and avoid contacts with flammable substances. 

 Keep all 

the  accessories  able  to  turn  on  the  operator  (transmitters, 
proximity  readers,  key-switches,  etc)  out  of  the  reach  of  the 
children. 

  Transit  through  the  access  only  with  stationary 

operator. 

 Do not allow children and/or people to stand in the 

proximity  of  a  working  operator. 

  To  ensure  safety  in  the 

whole  movement  area  of  a  gate  it  is  advisable  to  install 
photocells,  sensitive  edges,  magnetic  loops  and  detectors. 

 

Use yellow-black strips or proper signals to identify dangerous 
spots. 

  Before  cleaning  and  maintenance  operations, 

disconnect the appliance from the mains by switching off the 
master  switch. 

  If  removing  the  actuator,  do  not  cut  the 

electric  wires,  but  disconnect  them  from  the  terminal  box  by
loosening the screws inside the junction box.

INSTALLATION

All  installation  operations  must  be  performed  by  a  qualified 
technician,  in  observance  of  the  Machinery  Directive 
2006/42/CE  and  safety  regulations  EN  12453  -  EN  12445. 

Verify  the  presence  of  a  thermal-magnetic  circuit  breaker
0,03  A  -  230  V  -  50  Hz  upstream  the  installation. 

  Use 

appropriate  objects  to  test  the  correct  functionality  of  the 
safety  accessories,  such  as  photocells,  sensitive  edges,  etc. 

□ 

 

Carry out a risk analysis by means of appropriate instruments 
measuring the crushing and impact force of the main opening 
and closing edge in compliance with EN 12445. 

 Identify the 

appropriate  solution  necessary  to  eliminate  and  reduce  such
risks. 

  In case where the gate to automate is equipped with a 

pedestrian entrance, it is appropriate to prepare the system in 
such a way to prohibit the operation of the engine when the 
pedestrian entrance is used. 

 Apply safety nameplates with CE 

marking  on  the  gate  warning  about  the  presence  of  an 
automated installation. 

 The installer must inform and instruct 

the end user about the proper use of the system by releasing 
him  a  technical  dossier,  including:  layout  and  components  of 
the installation, risk analysis, verification of safety accessories, 
verification  of  impact  forces  and  reporting  of  residual  risks.

INFORMATION FOR END-USERS

The  end-user  is  required  to  read  carefully  and  to  receive 
information concerning only the operation of the installation 
so that he becomes himself responsible for the correct use of it. 

 The end-user shall establish a written maintenance contract 

with  the  installer/maintenance  technician  (on  -call). 

  Any 

maintenance operation must be done by qualified technicians. 

 Keep these instructions carefully.

WARNINGS FOR THE CORRECT OPERATION OF THE 
INSTALLATION

 

For  optimum  performance  of  system  over  time  according  to 
safety  regulations,  it  is  necessary  to  perform  proper 
maintenance  and  monitoring  of  the  entire  installation:  the 
automation,  the  electronic  equipment  and  the  cables 
connected  to  these. 

 The  entire  installation  must  be  carried 

out by qualified technical personnel, filling in the Maintenance 
Manual  indicated  in  the  Safety  Regulation  Book  (to  be 
requested 

or 

downloaded 

from 

the 

site 

www.fadini.net/supporto/downloads). 

 Operator: maintenance inspection at least every 6 months, 

while  for  the  electronic  equipment  and  safety  systems  an 
inspection  at  least  once  every  month  is  required. 

  The 

manufacturer,  Meccanica  Fadini  snc,  is  not  responsible  for 
non-observance  of  good  installation  practice  and  incorrect 
maintenance of the installation.

Dispose  properly  of  the  packaging  materials  such  as 
cardboard,  nylon,  polystyrene  etc.  through  specializing 
companies (after verification of the regulations in force at the 
place of installation in the field of waste disposal). Disposal of 
electrical  and  electronic  materials:  to  remove  and  dispose 
through specializing companies, as per Directive 2012/19/UE.
