may mean that the X-Bar product may not meet all the essential require-
ments .
Use of the product in these situations is strictly prohibited
until all the directive requirements are met: the “EC declaration of
Conformity” in appendix I of this manual may not be used. As a con-
sequence, the in staller in turn becomes the manufacturer of the “automatic
barrier”, and must therefore observe all requirements of the Machinery Direc-
tive 2006/42/EC . The manufacturer must complete a risk assessment, which
also includes the list of essential safety requirements as stated in “appen-
dix I of the Machinery Directive”, specifying the relative solutions adopted.
Note that the risk assessment is one of the documents that constitutes the
au tomation “technical documentation” . This must be compiled by a profes-
sional installer with the possibility of using the “Declaration of Conformity” in
appendix II to be compiled by the installer of X-Bar.
Special warnings regarding suitability of this product in relation to the
“Machinery” Directive 2006/42/EC; to be taken into consideration when the
installer becomes the manufacturer of the product . X-Bar is issued onto the
market as a “quasi machine” and therefore constructed for incorporation in
a machine or to be assembled with other machinery to produce a single
“ma chine” in accordance with the Directive 2006/42/EC only in conjunction
with the other components and in the ways as described in this instruc-
tion manual . As established in directive 2006/42/EC, this product may not
be started up until the manufacturer of the machine, in which this product is
incorporated, has not identified and declared as compliant with the directive
2006/42/EC .
• “Low Voltage” Directive:
Particular warnings concerning the suitable use of this product in relation to
the 2006/95/EEC “Low Voltage” Directive:
This product meets the requirements of the “Low Voltage” Directive if used as
specified in the configurations as envisaged in this instruction manual and in
combination with the articles listed in the product catalogue of Nice S .p .a .
These requirements may not be guaranteed if the product is used in con-
figurations or with other products that have not been foreseen; the use of
the product is prohibited in these situations until the correspondence to the
requirements foreseen by the directive have been verified by those perform-
ing the installation .
• “Electromagnetic compatibility” Directive:
Particular warnings concerning the suitable use of this product in relation to
the 2004/108/EEC “Electromagnetic Compatibility” 2004/10/EEC:
This product has been subjected to tests regarding the electromagnetic
compatibility in the most critical of use conditions, in the configurations fore-
seen in this instructions manual and in combination with articles present in
the Nice S .p .a . product catalogue
The electromagnetic compatibility may not be guaranteed if the product is
used in configurations or with other products that have not been foreseen;
the use of the product is prohibited in these situations until the correspond-
ence to the requirements foreseen by the directive have been verified by
those performing the installation .
1.3.1 - Installation criteria and special warnings related to essential
requirements
This product, if correctly installed, complies with the essential requirements as
envisaged by the European Directive on “Construction Products” 89/106/EEC
according to the provisions of harmonised standard EN 13241-1, as specified
in Table A ; and by the European Directive on “Machinery” 2006/42/EC .
Caution! – If X-Bar is intended for exclusively vehicle transit, it would be
excluded from the field of application of EN 13241-1; in this case, compliance
with some of the requirements stated in Table A may not be compulsory . Transit
may be considered “exclusively vehicle” when there is an express prohibition for
other types (for example pedestrians), such as by using adequate signs and,
if other types are required, there is adequate space in the immediate vicinity .
• Release of hazardous substances:
The product does not contain and/or release hazardous substances in con-
formity with the provisions of the standard EN 13241-1, point 4 .2 .9 and
ac cording to the list of substances stated in the web site of the European Com-
munity *: http:// europa.eu.int/comm/enterprise/construction/internal/dangsub/
dangmain_en .htm

Special warning to guarantee compliance with the requirement – It
is essential that also all other materials used in installation, such as electric
cables, comply with this requirement
• Resistance to wind load:
Table B
specifies resistance of the pole supplied to the differential pressure of
the wind. The tests were performed with the pole fitted with the impact pro-
tection profile; other accessories may increase the exposed surface and thus
reduce the resistance to wind load .
• Safe opening for vertically moving doors:
The product does not cause uncontrolled movements or dropping of the pole
in the event of a fault on a single component of the suspension or balancing
(spring) system .
Special warnings to guarantee compliance with the requirements:
- Perform installation in strict observance of all instructions in chapters “3 -
Installation ” and “5 - Testing and Commissioning”
- Ensure that a maintenance schedule is drawn up (for example, by using a
“Maintenance indicator” connected to the FLASH output associated with the
relative function - see Table 7); in which, all instructions in the chapter “Mainte-
nance Schedule” must be strictly followed .
• Mechanical strength and stability of the product:
The product is designed and constructed to ensure that, during normal use, all
forces applied, impact and normal wear will not damage or impair mechanical
performance .
Caution: See specifications for the requirement “Safe opening for vertically
moving doors” .
• Manoeuvring forces for power-operated doors/gates:
The operating forces applied by the pole in relation to the risks of crushing and
impact are protected by means of one of the three following methods:
1 For operation with “hold-to-run” controls: as specified in EN
12453:2000, point 5.1.1.4. In this case the control button must be located in
sight of the automation, and if accessible by the public, the control must not
be available to the latter, for example protected by means of a key-operated
selector switch .
2 For “semi-automatic” operating mode:
by force limitation as specified in
EN 12453:2000, points 5.1.1.5 and 5.1.3.3.
3 For “automatic” operating mode: by force limitation as specified in EN
12453:2000, points 5.1.1.5 and 5.1.3; in this case installation is compulsory
of at least one pair of photocells as shown in fig. 1 .
Specific warnings for “semi-automatic” and “automatic” operating
modes: the type tests for checking efficiency of force limitation were performed
with the Force setting at the maximum level (Force = 8) and Speed setting
at the maximum value (Speed = 5 (100%); with the pole assembled as per
the instructions and fitted with the “impact protection profile” above and below
the pole and with the accessory “indicator lights” XBA4 inserted on the upper
impact protection profile.
Special warning to guarantee compliance with the requirement: See
speci fications for the requirement “Safe opening for vertically moving doors”.
