INTENDED USE
•
ACER operators are designed for opening and closing residential-type sliding gates only. Improper use or use on gates larger than those indicated in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter will
be considered non-conform to the intended use. The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for improper use. The owner accepts full responsibility for improper use, which will result
in the warranty being rendered void.
•
Any usage differing from that described above is forbidden.
•
The operator may not be installed or used in potentially explosive environments.
•
The Fitter must ensure that the environment in which the automation is installed is conform to the operator’s temperature range (see Technical Data chap.).
•
The operator is not suitable for use on gates with built-in doors unless the automation is prevented from functioning when the door is open.
• Motorised
gates must conform to current European standards and Directives, including EN 12604 and EN
12605.
• T
he operator may only be used when in perfect working order and in compliance with the intended use, in the awareness of safety and hazard conditions and in observance with the instructions for installation and
use.
• Any
dysfunctions that may pose threats to safety must be eliminated
immediately.
• The
gate must be stable, properly hung and resistant to
flexion
(it must not bend during opening and closure
movements).
• The
operator cannot compensate for faulty or incorrectly hung
gates.
• The
operator may not be used in environments prone to
flooding
• Do
not use the operator in environmental conditions characterised by harsh atmospheric agents
(e.g.
Salty
air).
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
•
These general rules must always be respected during the installation, connection, testing, trial run, use and maintenance of the automation.
•
The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage or injury caused by non-conformity with the information supplied concerning installation, trial run, use and maintenance contained
in this manual, and the failure to observe the safety instructions given below.
•
The installation, connection, testing, trial run and maintenance of the operator must be performed by a COMPETENT PERSON aided and supervised by a PROFESSIONAL FITTER.
•
Given the technical, procedural, regulation and legal implications of the work, unauthorised fitters are not permitted.
•
Installation requires a practical and theoretical knowledge of mechanics, electronics and electrics, and of sector laws and standards.
•
Amateur installation is strictly forbidden as it does not comply with current standards and laws and therefore does not guarantee the safe operation of the automation.
•
Do not proceed with installation, connection and trial run in the event of doubts or indecision of any kind.
•
This manual must be read carefully and understood before installing the operator. If doubts arise during installation, contact a PROFESSIONAL FITTER or the MANUFACTURER.
•
Do not perform adjustments and/or parameter memorisation before installation is complete and only if you have understood the procedures described in this manual.
•
Only mount the operator on gates that are perfectly aligned with the sliding tracks and are properly hung. A gate that is not correctly aligned or hung can cause serious injury and/or damage to the operator.
•
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and faults to the operator caused by non-observance of the instructions contained in this
manual.
• Keep
this manual in a safe and easily accessible place so that it can be consulted rapidly when
necessary.
• During

regulations.
• In
the interests of safety and optimal functioning of the operator, only use original spares, accessories, devices and fastening
apparatus.
• D
o not perform alterations on any operator device or
component.
This type of operation may cause
malfunctions.
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage caused by products that have been
modified.

performed.
• S
hould liquids penetrate inside the operator, disconnect the electricity supply and contact the Manufacturer’s Assistance Service immediately; use of the operator in such conditions may cause hazard

flames,
which could damage it and cause malfunctions,
fires
or hazard
situations.
• Keep
the operator in a horizontal position, but not resting on the
ground.
Indications and warnings for use
•
It is the fitter’s duty to perform risk analysis and inform the user/owner of any existing residual risks. Any residual risk detected must be recorded in writing in this manual.
•
The following residual risks are usually present in moving gates: impact and crushing against the main closure surface; impact and crushing in the opening area; shearing between sliding
leaf and fixed part of the track and support during movement; mechanical risks caused by movement.
•
The Manufacturer will not accept responsibility for damage or injury caused by the non-observance of the information on use contained in this manual, and the failure to observe the safety

immobile.
• Prevent
children from playing or standing in the vicinity of the gate or the control organs (radio control), the same precautions should be adopted for disabled persons and
animals.
• In
the event of malfunctions (noisiness, jerky movements,
etc.)
suspend the use of the automation immediately: failure to observe this rule may entail serious hazards, risks of accidents and/or serious
damage to the gate and the
automation.
