Important safety instructions for
installation
WARNING
Incorrect installation can lead to severe injury. Follow all installation
instructions. Merlin Garage Openers Limited does not accept responsibility for
damage or injury resulting from installing this opener.
Prepare the gate for safe automation
Before installing the drive remove or disable any equipment, such as locks, that is not
needed for powered operation.
Check that the gate is in good mechanical condition and that it opens and closes properly.
Do not use force sensitivity adjustments to compensate for a binding or sticking gate.
Excessive force may damage the gate.
Avoid possible entrapment points
Ensure that entrapment between the driven part and the surrounding fixed parts due to the
movement of the driven part is avoided.
Gaps are considered safe as follows (IEC60335-2-103): finger gaps above 25 mm; foot
gaps above 50 mm; head gaps above 300 mm; and whole body gaps above 500 mm.
Add over-ride switch if wicket gate is present
If a wicket gate is present in one of the gate leaves, it must be fitted with a switch that
prevents the drive from operating when the wicket is open. (Connect a Normally Closed
switch to the STP and GND terminals of the controller board.)
Locate controls carefully
Install any fixed control, wired or wireless, within sight of the gate but away from moving
parts and at a height of more than 1.5 m.
Fit non-contact safety beams
Where they are not already explicitly required to comply with regulations, Merlin strongly
recommends fitting non-contact safety beam sensors.
Locate the entrapment warning sign correctly
After installing the gates, the included entrapment warning sign must be fitted within sight
of anyone that may stand in the path of the moving gate.
Inspect and test the installation
After installation, ensure that the mechanism is properly adjusted and that and the
protection system and manual release function correctly.
Educate the owner
Before passing controls to the owner, alert them to the potential dangers, and routine
checks they’re required to perform.
Complete the commissioning check sheet
The commissioning check sheet at the end of this manual must be completed, signed
by the installer and client, and kept on record by the installing company. It contains a
declaration that all safety related procedures have been complied with.
