3.1  INTENDED USE

The GENIUS series BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC gearmotors are designed 

to move horizontal sliding gates for residential buildings/apartment 

complexes.
Only one gearmotor must be installed for each leaf.  The gate must 

be moved via a rack.
Installations using the BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC must be used for 

vehicular and/or pedestrian traffic.
To operate the gate manually, follow the instructions in § 5.5.

Any other use that is not expressly specified in these instructions is 

prohibited and could affect the integrity of the product and/or represent 

a source of danger.

It is prohibited to install the automation system outside of the 

limits specified in the Technical Data and Installation Require-

ments sections.

 

-

It is forbidden to use BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC in a constructional 

configuration other than the one provided by the manufacturer.

 

-

No component part of the product may be modified.

 

-

It is prohibited to install the automation system on escape routes.

 

-

doors.

 

-

It is prohibited to install the automation system in environments 

in which there is a risk of explosion and/or fire: the presence of 

flammable gases or fumes is a serious safety hazard.

 

-

It is prohibited to power the system with energy sources other 

than those specified.

 

-

It  is  prohibited  to  integrate  commercial  systems  and/or

not intended and authorised by their respective manufacturers.

 

-

Do not allow water jets of any type or size to come into direct 

contact with the gear motor.

 

-

Do not expose the gear motor to corrosive chemicals or atmo-

spheric agents.

 

-

It is prohibited to use and/or install accessories which have not 

been specifically approved by FAAC S.p.A.

 

-

-

It is prohibited to use the automation system with the fixed and/

or mobile guards removed or altered.

 

-

Do not use the automation system unless the area of operation

-

Do not enter/remain in the area of operation of the automation 

system while it is moving.

 

-

Do not try to prevent the movement of the automation system.

 

-

Do not climb on, hold onto or let yourself be pulled by the 

leaf.  Do not climb onto the gear motor.

 

-

Do not allow children to approach or play in the area of operation 

of the automation system.

 

-

Do not allow the control devices to be used by anyone who is 

not specifically authorised and trained to do so.

 

-

Do not allow the control devices to be used by children or persons 

with mental and physical deficiencies unless they are supervised 

by an adult who is responsible for their safety.

 

!

During manual operation, gently guide the leaf the whole way, do not 

push it and let it slide freely.

The maximum force required to move the leaf by hand over its entire 

length of travel must be 225 N for residential areas and 260 N for 

industrial or commercial areas.
The maximum force required to start the movement must be less 

than the maximum thrust force of the operator indicated in the 

technical data.
The leaf must fall within the dimensional and weight limits indicated 

in the technical data.
The presence of weather conditions such as snow, ice and strong wind, 

even occasional, could affect the correct operation of the automation, 

the integrity of the components and be a potential source of danger 

(see § Emergency use). 
BLIZZARD 400-800 C ENC is not designed to be a security (break-in 

protection) system.
If a pedestrian access gate is integrated in the sliding gate leaf, 

motorised movement must be disabled when the pedestrian gate 

is not closed.
The installation must be visible during the day and at night.  If it is 

not, appropriate solutions must be provided to make the fixed and 

moving parts visible.
Implementing the automation requires the installation of the neces-

sary safety devices, identified by the installer through an appropriate 

risk assessment of the installation site.
