GENERAL SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

tions. If this occurs, suspend installation immediately and contact the
Mhouse Service Centre.

• Never make modifications to any part of the product. Operations oth-

er than as specified can only cause malfunctions. The manufacturer
declines all liability for damage caused by makeshift modifications to
the product.

• If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced exclusively by a

qualified technician, to avoid potential risks.

• Connect the control unit to an electric power line equipped with an

earthing system.

• This product is not designed to be used by persons (including children)

whose physical, sensorial or mental capacities are reduced, or with lack
of experience or skill, unless suitable instructions regarding use of the
product have been provided by a person responsible for safety.

• The key selector must be positioned in view of the automation mecha-

nism, far away from its moving parts, at a minimum height of 1.5 m from
the ground and in a location which is not accessible by the public. If it is
used in “manned” mode, make sure there are no people in the vicinity of
the automation mechanism.

• In the vicinity of the automation children must be supervised to ensure

that they do not play with it.

• Check that there are no points where people could become trapped or

crushed against fixed parts when the gate is open or closed all the way;
if there are, provide protection for these parts.

• The product may not be considered a complete anti-intrusion protec-

tion system. If you wish to have effective protection, combine the auto-
mation mechanism with other security devices.

• The automation mechanism cannot be used before it has been commis-

sioned as specified in the chapter on “Testing and commissioning”.

• Inspect the automation mechanism frequently to check for unbalancing,

signs of wear or damage to electrical cables and mechanical parts. Do
not use the automation mechanism if adjustment or repair is required.

• If it is not used for a long time, remove the optional battery (PR1) and

keep it in a dry place to make sure it does not leak harmful substances.

• Do not allow children to play with fixed control devices. Keep remote

control devices out of reach of children.

• The product’s packaging materials must be disposed of in full compli-

ance with local regulations.

• IMPORTANT! – This manual contains important instructions and

warnings for personal safety.

Incorrect installation could cause seri-

ous physical injury. We recommend that you read this entire manual
with care before starting any work. If in doubt, do not install the product
and contact the Mhouse technical assistance department.

• CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep this manual in a safe

place to enable future product maintenance and disposal opera-
tions.

• IMPORTANT! – According to the most recent European legis-

lation, the production of a power-operated door or gate must
comply with the standards envisaged in the Directive 2006/42/
EC (Machinery Directive) and in particular standards EN 12445;
EN 12453; EN 12635 and EN 13241-1, which enable declaration
of presumed conformity of the automation. In consideration of
this, all mains connection, testing, commissioning and mainte-
nance operations must be performed exclusively by a qualified
and skilled technician!

All preliminary set-up, installation, device connection and pro-

gramming operations may be performed by personnel with
standard skills, provided that all instructions and the related
sequences in this manual are strictly observed, with particular
reference to the warnings in this STEP 1.

Installation warnings

While reading this manual, take care to observe all instructions

These symbols indicate subjects that may be the source of poten-
tial hazards and therefore the prescribed operations must be per-
formed exclusively by qualified and skilled personnel, in obser-
vance of these instructions and of the applicable local safety
standards.

• Before installation, ensure that this product is suitable for automation of

your gate or door (see STEP 3 and chapter “Product Technical Specifi-
cations”). If not suitable, do NOT proceed with installation.

• Provide a disconnection device (not supplied) in the plant’s power sup-

ply grid, with a contact opening distance permitting complete discon-
nection under the conditions dictated by overvoltage category III.

•

All product installation and maintenance operations must be
performed with the automation disconnected from the power
mains.

If the power disconnect device is not visible from the location

of the automation, before starting working, a suitable notice must be
affixed on the power disconnect device stating “WARNING! MAINTE-
NANCE IN PROGRESS”.

•

CAUTION! - Never power up the motor before fully installed on
the column and leaf of the gate.

• During installation, handle the automation with care, avoiding the risk of

impact, dropping or contact with any type of liquid. Never place the prod-
uct near sources of heat or expose to naked flames. This may damage
product components and cause malfunctions, fire or hazardous situa-

2.1 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

The devices in this kit, plus other accessories (some optional and not
included in the pack), form the automation system named “WS2S”,
designed for the automation of a “residential” swing gate.

All uses other

than the intended use described and/or in environmental condi-
tions other than those described in this manual shall be consid-
ered improper and prohibited!

The main part of the automation comprises an electromechanical gear-
motor, fitted with a 24 V dc motor with helical teeth gear; it is fitted with
a mechanical key release which enables manual movement of the gate
in the event of a power failure. The gearmotor is equipped with a control
unit that manages operation of the entire automation. The control unit
comprises a board and incorporated radio receiver which receives the
