Instructions and warnings for installation
•
Before commencing installation read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS chapter carefully.
•
The person who installs the operator is responsible for performing risk analysis and regulating the automation’s safety devices consequentially.
•
Before commencing installation, check whether further devices or materials are needed to complete the automation in order to suit the specific situation in which it will be used.
• It
is
strictly forbidden to motorise
a
gate that
is
not already efficient and secure
as
the automation cannot resolve faults caused by incorrect installation or poor maintenance
of
the gate.
• During installation, make constant reference to harmonised standards
EN
12453
and EN12445.
• Ensure that the individual devices to be installed are suitable for the automation that one intends to create, paying careful attention to the points raised in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter. Do not proceed
if even just one device is unsuitable for the intended use.
• Ensure that the place
of
installation
is
not prone to flooding, does not contain sources
of
heat or naked flames, fires or hazard situations in general.
• During installation, protect automation components to prevent liquids (e.g. rain) and/or foreign bodies (earth, gravel, etc) penetrating inside.
Preliminary checks
Before commencing installation, the following preliminary checks must be performed:
1) The weight and dimensions
of
the gate must not exceed the limits for use (see the TECHNICAL DATA chap.),
if
they exceed such limits, the operator may not be installed.
2) The gate structure must be suitable for the installation
of
the operator and conform to current standards.
3) The gate’s movement in both opening and closure must be uniform, without points
of
greater resistance or friction.
4) The gate must be properly hung and without risks
of
derailment, this can be checked by sliding the gate back and forth several times.
5) The gate must be hung flat, i.e. it must not move when left in any point
of
the sliding tracks. Ensure that the gate does not bend or deviate from its course during movement.
6) The gate must be perfectly flat in to the plane to which the sliding track
is
fixed, in order to prevent irregular movement during operation.
7) The limit switches must be sufficiently sturdy and there must be no risk
of
derailment should the gate collide with the limit switches.
8) The operator installation area must not be prone to flooding and therefore it may not be installed in potholes, trenches, dips in the ground, etc.
9) The cement base on which the operator must be installed must be adequately solid and compact.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS
•
Once the automation has been tested, the parameters set must not be altered. If further adjustments (e.g. alterations to the voltage value) are made, all the checks required for testing
and compliance with standards must be repeated.
•
The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage or injury caused by non-compliance with the information provided in this manual and the safety instructions provided below.
•
The Manufacturer declines all responsibility for damage and malfunctions deriving from non-compliance with the maintenance instructions.
•
In order to keep the operator efficient and safe, follow the cleaning, checking and routine maintenance procedures as described in this manual. This is the owner’s duty.
•
Any checking, maintenance or repair work must be conducted by a PROFESSIONAL FITTER
•
Always switch of the electricity supply in the event of malfunctions, breakdowns and before any other operations in order to avoid the gate from being activated.
•
The owner is not authorised to remove the operator lid as it contains live parts.
•
If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the Manufacturer or its technical Assistance service or in any case a person with a similar qualification in order to avoid risks.
• The owner
is
NOT
authorised to use the programming keyboard.
• Use original pare parts, accessories and clamping material only.
• Do not perform technical or programming modifications on the operator. Operations
of
this type may cause malfunctions and/or risk
of
accidents. The Manufacturer declines responsibility for damage
deriving from modified products.
• In the event
of
intervention
of
automatic or fuse switches, before restoring function conditions identify and eliminate the fault. Request the intervention
of
a
PROFESSIONAL FITTER.
• If
a
fault that cannot be solved following the information contained in the present manual, contact the manufacturer’s assistance service.
• All maintenance, repair or replacement
of
parts must be recorded in the maintenance log, which
is
SUPPLIED AND INITIALLY FILLED IN BY
THE
FITTER.
• Inspect the installation frequently to ensure that there are no signs
of
mechanical unbalance, wear or damage to the wires and assembled parts: no not use the automation until any necessary repairs
or adjustments have been made.
Cleaning the automation
ATTENTION:
•
Never wash the operator using water sprays or washing devices.
•
Do not use corrosive substances, solvents, thinners or spirit to clean the operator.
•
Switch off the electricity supply to the operator before cleaning.
a) Automations are almost always installed outdoors and therefore they are subject to climatic variations and exposed to the elements, which transport debris that may cause problems.
b) The entire area in which the automation
is
installed must be kept clean to avoid malfunctions and/or faults.
c) Keep the track on which the gate runs clean by sweeping stones, gravel, and mud
off
using
a
broom.
d) Clear the area in which the operator is installed to prevent stones, gravel, mud, dry leaves, pine needles etc. from accumulating around the pinion, thus causing damage to the pinion, rack, limit switch and operator.
Routine maintenance
Every six months contact
a
PROFESSIONAL FITTER to perform the following operations.
• A series
of
opening and closing checks using radio controls and selectors, using all the system’s components (photocells, flashing light, etc.). Ensure that the operator performs the desired action.
• Grease the operator’s nut-screw-bushing unit and the gate hinges.
• Repeat the series
of
tests envisaged for operator testing (see INSTALLATION MANUAL
–
Testing and first run chapter.
DEMOLITION AND DISPOSAL
ACER operators are constituted by various materials, which implicates different disposal modes. Materials such
as
aluminium, plastic, electric cables, etc., can be recycled; batteries, electronic cards,
etc. must be disposed of.
ATTENTION:
•
The disposal of batteries, cards and electric and electronic components must comply with legislation and local regulations on toxic, harmful and polluting substances.
•
Disconnection from the main supply must always be performed by a qualified electrician using suitable equipment.
